(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by the Indenture;

ARTICLE VI
Certain Covenants
The Company covenants as follows:
SECTION 6.01. Reporting.
(a) The Company shall deliver to the Trustee copies of the Companys annual and quarterly reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may by rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within 15 days after the Company is required to file such annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports with the SEC (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Documents that are filed by the Company with the SEC via the EDGAR system (or any successor thereto) will be deemed to be delivered to the Trustee as of the time such documents are filed with EDGAR. The Company shall comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act. Delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustees receipt thereof shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Companys compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officers Certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to deliver to the Trustee any material for which the Company has sought and received confidential treatment by the SEC.
(b) In addition, if at any time the Company is not required to file with the SEC the annual and quarterly reports, information, documents and other reports described in clause (a) of this Section 6.01, the Company shall furnish to the Holders, holders of any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, and to beneficial owners and prospective investors in such Notes or shares, upon their request, the information, if any, required under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act until such time as these securities are no longer restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or such Common Stock may reasonably request to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time.
SECTION 6.02. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purpose of the Indenture.
-22-
SECTION 6.03. Future Subsidiary Guarantees. Except for guarantees issued in connection with Debt Securities effective prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that has not previously guaranteed the Notes on a senior subordinated basis to, directly or indirectly, guarantee, assume or in any manner become liable with respect to any Debt Securities unless such Restricted Subsidiary contemporaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for the guarantee of the Notes under Article XI of this Supplemental Indenture on a senior subordinated basis.
SECTION 6.04. No Layering of Debt. The Company will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is contractually subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company and senior in right of payment to the Notes; provided that, the foregoing limitation shall not apply to distinctions between categories of Senior Indebtedness that exist by reason of any liens or guarantees arising or created in respect of some but not all of such Senior Indebtedness. No such Indebtedness will be considered to be contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior priority basis.
ARTICLE VII
Successor Corporation
SECTION 7.01. Merger and Sale of Assets by the Company. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into, or sell or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to, another Person unless:

(b) immediately after the transaction, no Event of Default or event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would be an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

SECTION 7.02. Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any event described in and in compliance with Section 7.01 of this Supplemental Indenture, the successor Person (if other than the Company) shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under the Indenture, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor Person will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Notes.

(h) failure by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to fulfill an Obligation to pay Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than Indebtedness which is non-recourse to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), which failure shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $25.0 million;
(i) final judgments or orders rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of $25.0 million and such judgments or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for more than 60 days and are not being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; and
-24-
(j) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(i) commences a voluntary case,
(ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,
(iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its assets, or

(iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, and
the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.
SECTION 8.02. Acceleration.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (j) or (k) of Section 8.01), shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and interest, if any, accrued thereon (including Additional Interest, if any) to be due and payable immediately; provided, however, after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of such outstanding Notes may rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal and interest, have been cured or waived as provided in this Supplemental Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in clause (j) or (k) of Section 8.01 with respect to the Company or any Significant Subsidiary occurs, all outstanding Notes shall become due and payable without any further action or notice.
SECTION 8.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture and may take any necessary action requested of it as Trustee to settle, compromise, adjust or otherwise conclude any proceedings to which it is a party.
-25-
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative. Any costs associated with actions taken by the Trustee under this Section 8.03 shall be reimbursed to the Trustee by the Company.
SECTION 8.04. Waiver of Past Defaults and Events of Default.
Notwithstanding Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the TIA, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding Notes may waive any past Defaults under the Indenture except:
(a) a default relating to the non-payment of principal of interest (including Additional Interest, if any);
(b) a failure to convert any Notes as provided in this Supplemental Indenture;
(c) a default arising from the Companys failure to repurchase any Notes when required pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture; or
(d) a default in respect of any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected, as provided in Section 10.02(b) hereof.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of the Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
SECTION 8.05. Control by Majority.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee the Indenture. Notwithstanding Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the TIA, the Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder not taking part in such direction, and the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed may involve it in personal liability or expense for which the Trustee has not received satisfactory indemnity; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
-26-
SECTION 8.06. Limitation on Suits.
No Holder will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless:
(a) the Holder has given the Trustee written notice of a Default;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Notes have made a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(c) the Trustee has not received an inconsistent direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes; and
(d) the Trustee has failed to comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and offer of indemnity.
However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Note on or after the due date therefor (after giving effect to the grace period specified in clause (a) of Section 8.01).
SECTION 8.07. No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Shareholders.
No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder or partner of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the Indenture or of any Guarantor under its Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes and the Guarantees.
SECTION 8.08. Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest of the Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, is absolute and unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.
SECTION 8.09. Collection Suit by Trustee.
If an Event of Default in payment of principal or interest specified in Section 8.01(a) or (c) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company or any Guarantor for the whole amount of unpaid principal and accrued interest remaining unpaid, together with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest, in each case at the rate set forth in the Indenture and the Notes, and such further amounts as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
-27-
SECTION 8.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607 of the Base Indenture) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any Guarantor, its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same after deduction of its charges and expenses to the extent that any such charges and expenses are not paid out of the estate in any such proceedings and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607 of the Base Indenture.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan or reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceedings.
SECTION 8.11. Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VIII, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 607 of the Base Indenture;
SECOND: to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company to the extent required by Article XIII hereof;
THIRD: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal and interest as to each, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes; and
FOURTH: to the Company or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount from any Guarantor, to such Guarantor.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 8.11.
SECTION 8.12. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under the Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. Notwithstanding Section 315(e) of the TIA, this Section 8.12 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 8.08 or a suit by Holders of more than 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
-28-
SECTION 8.13. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under the Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
SECTION 8.14. Reporting Event of Default.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or the Notes to the contrary, if:
(i) an Event of Default occurs pursuant to Section 8.01(g) of this Supplemental Indenture solely as a result of the Companys failure to comply with Section 6.01 of this Supplemental Indenture (such Event of Default, a Reporting Event of Default); and
(ii) on or before the close of business on the last Business Day immediately preceding the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs, the Company notifies, in writing, each Holder and the Trustee and the Paying Agent that it elects the provisions of this Section 8.14 to apply with respect to such Reporting Event of Default (such notice, the Reporting Event of Default Election Notice), then:
(A) the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of Default during the period consisting of the 180 calendar days after the date such Reporting Event of Default occurs shall consist of the payment of additional interest (Additional Interest) on each Note at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum on the principal amount of each Note for each day during the first 90 days following the occurrence of the Reporting Event of Default and at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of each Note for each day from the 91st day until the 180th day following the occurrence of the Reporting Event of Default;
(B) such Additional Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes, and all references herein to interest shall, unless the context requires otherwise, be deemed to include Additional Interest;
(C) such Additional Interest shall accrue from, and including, the date such Reporting Event of Default first occurs to, but excluding, the 180th day thereafter or, if earlier, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; and
(D) on the 180th day following the date such Reporting Event of Default first occurs, the Additional Interest shall cease to accrue and the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 8.02 of this Supplemental Indenture if such Reporting Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such date.
-29-
(b) In the event that the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following a Reporting Event of Default in accordance with this Section 8.14, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 8.02 of this Supplemental Indenture.
(c) The provisions of this Section 8.14 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than a Reporting Event of Default. The provisions of this Section 8.14 shall not be applicable in the event that the failure to comply with reporting obligations that gives rise to a Reporting Event of Default also gives rise to a default under, and results in the acceleration of, other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness that is non-recourse to the Company or any Subsidiary), in which case the Event of Default shall be subject to the remedies that are otherwise applicable as provided herein.
SECTION 8.15. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after a Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, mail to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Security Register, notice of any Default or Event of Default known to such Responsible Officer, unless such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived before the giving of such notice and provided that, except in the case of Default in the payment of the principal (including, without limitation, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or interest on, any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.
SECTION 8.16. Unconditional Right of Holders to Convert Notes. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture, the Holder of any Notes shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to convert its Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date expressed in such Note and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such conversion, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
ARTICLE IX
Defeasance and Discharge
SECTION 9.01. Termination of the Companys Obligations. When the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, then the Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes (except as to the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee under the Indenture which expressly provide that they survive such termination), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 9.02 of this Supplemental Indenture and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
-30-
satisfaction of and discharging the Indenture with respect to the Notes; provided the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee, in connection with the Indenture or the Notes.
SECTION 9.02. Officers Certificate; Opinion of Counsel. Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under Section 9.01 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in the Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with.
ARTICLE X
Amendments
SECTION 10.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may amend, waive or supplement the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Notes without consent of any Holder, for any of the following purposes:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency that does not adversely affect the Holders of the Notes;
(b) to provide for the assumption by a successor corporation of the Companys Obligations under the Indenture;
(c) to add Guarantees with respect to the Notes;
(d) to secure the Notes;
(e) to add to the covenants for the benefit of the Holders or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company;
(f) to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder;
(g) to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; or
(h) to conform the provisions of the Indenture or the Notes to the Description of Notes in the Prospectus Supplement.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the Guarantors to amend, waive or supplement the Indenture, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, if such action is authorized or permitted by the terms of the Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be required thereby; provided that the Trustee shall not be obligated to amend, waive or supplement the Indenture, if such amendment, waiver or supplement adversely affects its own rights, duties or immunities hereunder.
-31-
SECTION 10.02. With Consent of Holders. The Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be amended with the consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default under, or compliance with any provision of, the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees may be waived (other than any continuing Default in the payment of the principal or interest on the Notes) with the consent (which may include consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; provided that without the consent of each Holder affected, the Company and the Trustee may not:
(a) extend the Maturity Date of any Note;
(b) reduce the rate or extend the time for the payment of interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Note;
(c) reduce the principal amount of any Note or the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, or change the time at which or circumstances under which the Company shall repurchase the Notes pursuant to a Fundamental Change;
(d) impair the right of a Holder to receive payment of principal and interest on such Holders Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for payment of any Note;
(e) change the currency which the Notes are payable; or
(f) adversely affect the repurchase option of a Holder or the conversion rights of any Note, or reduce the number of shares of Common Stock or any other property receivable upon conversion of any Note, except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture.
In addition, without the consent of the Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, the Company may not reduce the percentage of Notes which is required to consent to any such amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture.
After an amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture under this Section 10.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment.
Upon the written request of the Company, accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the receipt by the Trustee of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as aforesaid and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 10.06, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustees own rights, duties or immunities under the Indenture, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
-32-
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have the right to require an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the proposed amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture conforms in substance to the consent of the Holders.
SECTION 10.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment or supplement to the Indenture or the Notes shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.
SECTION 10.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture or other action becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent conclusive and binding upon such Holder and every subsequent Holder of the same Note or portion thereof, and of any Note issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in place thereof, even if notation of the consent is not made on any such Note. Any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of a Note, if the Trustee receives the written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, waiver, supplemental indenture or other action becomes effective.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement, or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless the consent of the requisite number of Holders has been obtained.
If no such record date is fixed, the record date for any consent shall be the later of 30 days prior to the solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of Holders provided to the Trustee pursuant to Section 701 of the Base Indenture prior to such solicitation.
After an amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture or other action becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 10.02(b). In that case the amendment or other action shall bind each Holder of a Note who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Note.
-33-
SECTION 10.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
If an amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) shall request the Holder of the Note (in accordance with the specific written direction of the Company) to deliver it to the Trustee. In such case, the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue, the Guarantors shall endorse, and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture.
SECTION 10.06. Trustee To Sign Amendments, etc.
The Trustee shall sign any amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article X if such amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 601 of the Base Indenture, shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, waiver or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by the Indenture and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and Guarantors in accordance with its terms (subject to customary exceptions).

Guarantee
SECTION 11.01. Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, and irrevocably guarantees (each such guarantee to be referred to herein as a Guarantee) on a senior subordinated basis to each Holder of the Notes and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns that: (i) the principal of and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by conversion or otherwise and interest on the overdue principal, if any (including, without limitation, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), and interest on any interest of the Notes and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder, will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or of any such other obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by conversion or otherwise, subject, however, in each case, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.04 of this Supplemental Indenture. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand
-34-
of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that, subject to Section 11.03 of this Supplemental Indenture, this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations of the Company contained in the Notes and the Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Guarantor or any Custodian to the Company or any Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in the Indenture for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such Obligations as provided in the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.
SECTION 11.02. Severability. In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 11.03. Release of a Guarantor; Termination of Guarantee.
(a) The Guarantee of a Guarantor shall be released upon:
(i) the sale or disposition (whether by merger, stock purchase, asset sale or otherwise) of such Guarantor (or all or substantially all its assets or its Capital Stock) to an entity which is not (after giving effect to such transaction) a Restricted Subsidiary or the Company;
(ii) such Guarantor ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary; or
(iii) such Guarantor ceasing to guarantee the 2018 Senior Notes and all other Debt Securities,
and in each such case, such Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all the Guarantors Obligations under the Guarantee with respect to the Notes without any further action required on the part of the Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder. In the event of a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or Capital Stock of a Guarantor to an entity which is not (after giving effect to such transaction) one of the Companys Restricted Subsidiaries, the Person acquiring such assets or stock of such Guarantor shall not be subject to the Guarantors Obligations under the Guarantee.
(b) An Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all Obligations under this Article XI with respect to the Notes upon notice from the Company to the Trustee to such effect, without any further action required on the part of such Guarantor, the Company, the Trustee or any Holder.
-35-
(c) Any Guarantor not released in accordance with this Section 11.03, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 11.04 of this Supplemental Indenture, remains liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided in this Article XI.
(d) The Guarantee of each Guarantor whose Guarantee has not been previously released pursuant to the terms of this Supplemental Indenture shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the repurchase, payment or conversion of all the Notes. The Trustee shall deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing any such release upon receipt of a request by the Company accompanied by an Officers Certificate and Opinion of Counsel certifying as to the compliance with this Section 11.03.
SECTION 11.04. Limitation of a Subsidiary Guarantors Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intention of the parties that the guarantee by each Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor (and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 11.06 of this Supplemental Indenture), result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 11.05. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.
(a) Except as contemplated by Section 11.03 of this Supplemental Indenture, no Guarantor may transfer all or substantially all of its assets or Capital Stock to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor in a transaction to which subsection (b) applies, unless (i) the Person acquiring the assets or Capital Stock in any such transfer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the Indenture (including its Guarantee of the Notes) pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) Nothing contained in the Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any transfer of all or substantially all assets of a Guarantor to the Company or another Guarantor. Upon any such consolidation, merger, or transfer between a Guarantor and the Company or another Guarantor, the Guarantee given by the non-surviving or transferring Guarantor in the transaction shall no longer have any force or effect.
SECTION 11.06. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a Funding Guarantor) under its Guarantee with respect
-36-
to the Notes, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Companys Obligations with respect to any Notes or any other Guarantors Obligations with respect to the Guarantee of the Notes. Adjusted Net Assets of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Guarantor in respect of the Obligations of its Guarantee of the Notes), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee of the Notes, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Subsidiary of the Company in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee of the Notes), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of the Notes of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured.
SECTION 11.07. Waiver of Subrogation. Until all guaranteed Obligations under the Indenture and with respect to all Notes are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantors Obligations under the Guarantee of the Notes and the Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or promissory note on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 11.07 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 11.08. Compensation and Indemnity. Each of the Guarantors agrees to jointly and severally, with the Company, indemnify the Trustee as set forth in Section 607 of the Indenture.
SECTION 11.09. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Article XI, nor the consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
-37-
SECTION 11.10. Successors and Assigns. This Article XI shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes and, in the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder of Notes or the Trustee, the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Indenture and in the Notes shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.
SECTION 11.11. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of either the Trustee or the Holders of Notes in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Article XI shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article XI at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.
SECTION 11.12. Subordination of Guarantees. The Obligations of each Guarantor under the Indenture and the Notes shall be junior and subordinated to the Designated Senior Debt of such Guarantor on the same basis as the Notes are junior and subordinated to Designated Senior Debt of the Company. For the purposes of the foregoing sentence, the Trustee and Holders shall have the right to receive or retain payments by any of the Guarantors only at such times as they may receive or retain payments in respect of the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.
ARTICLE XII
Conversion
SECTION 12.01. General; Conversion Privilege. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of Article IV of this Supplemental Indenture and this Article XII, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holders option, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of a Note, if such portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, at any time prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at an initial conversion rate of 42.0159 shares of Common Stock (the Conversion Rate) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of Section 12.02 below, the Conversion Obligation). The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 12.05 through 12.12 of this Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 12.02. Conversion Procedure and Settlement upon Conversion.
(a) Upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder or such converting Holders nominee or nominees, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted divided by $1,000 and (ii) the Conversion Rate, together with a cash payment, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 12.02(f) of this Supplemental Indenture, on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (as defined below). The Person
-38-
in whose name any shares of Common Stock due upon such conversion are to be registered shall be treated as the stockholder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date of such conversion, and either stock certificates shall be delivered, or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary shall be made, in either case together with a cash payment, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share, to such Person for such shares of Common Stock on such third Business Day, except in connection with any Merger Event in accordance with Section 12.09 of this Supplemental Indenture and as provided in Section 12.12 of this Supplemental Indenture. Prior to such time, a Holder, as such, shall not be entitled to any rights relating to such shares of Common Stock, including, among other things, the right to vote, tender in a tender offer, and receive dividends and other distributions and notices of stockholder meetings. On and after such Conversion Date, all rights of the Holder(s) of such Note with respect to such Note shall terminate, other than the right to receive the consideration due upon such conversion in accordance with the Indenture (except that, if such Conversion Date is after an Interest Record Date and before the immediately following Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder(s) of record of such Notes at the close of business on such Interest Record Date without any requirement to surrender such Notes to the Paying Agent).
(b) To convert a Note that is a certificated Note, a Holder must do each of the following:
(i) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice on the back of the Note, or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice, and deliver such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent;
(ii) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent;
(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;
(iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, as required by Section 12.03 of this Supplemental Indenture; and
(v) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in clause (c) of this Section 12.02 of this Supplemental Indenture.
If a Holders interest in a Note is a beneficial interest in a Global Note, in order to convert the Note the Holder must comply with (iii), (iv) and (v) of clause (b) above for conversions of certificated Notes and comply with the Depositarys procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No Conversion Notice with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 4.03 of this Supplemental Indenture.
A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the Conversion Date) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth above in this clause (b) with respect to such Note. From and after the Conversion Date, such Note shall cease to be outstanding, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Note
-39-
unless there shall be a Default in the delivery of the shares of Common Stock (and payment of cash in lieu of any fractional share) deliverable (or payable) hereunder upon such conversion (except that, if such Conversion Date is after an Interest Record Date and before the immediately following Interest Payment Date, then accrued and unpaid interest on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date shall be paid, on such Interest Payment Date, to the Holder of record of such Note at the close of business on such Interest Record Date without any requirement to surrender such Note to the Paying Agent).
A Holder may obtain copies of the required form of Conversion Notice from the Conversion Agent.
(c) Upon conversion of a Note in accordance with this Article XII, the Holder of such Note shall not be entitled to receive, on account of such conversion, any separate cash payment or shares for accrued and unpaid interest, except as provided in the immediately following sentence. The Companys delivery of the consideration due upon any conversion of a Note shall be deemed to satisfy in full the Companys Obligation to pay (i) the principal amount of such Note, and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date of such conversion. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. If a Holder surrenders a Note for conversion after the close of business on an Interest Record Date and prior to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Note on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Note at the close of business on such Interest Record Date; provided, however, that such Note, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the portion of such Note to be so converted, except that no such payment is required (i) if the Company shall have specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Interest Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, (ii) if the Conversion Date for such conversion is after the Interest Record Date that immediately precedes the Maturity Date, or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists as of the Conversion Date.
(d) If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable, if any, upon such conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of all Notes converted.
(e) Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.
(f) The Company shall not issue any fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note based on the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date.
SECTION 12.03. Taxes On Conversion. If a Holder converts its Note, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the
-40-
issue of shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, if any, unless the tax is due because such Holder requests that the shares of Common Stock be issued in a name other than such Holders name, in which case such Holder shall pay such tax. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.
SECTION 12.04. Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the outstanding Notes (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder).
All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.
The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock, if applicable, upon conversion of Notes.
SECTION 12.05. Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth below; provided, however, that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as the holders of Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions described in this Section 12.05 as if such Holders held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the event that otherwise would result in a Conversion Rate adjustment, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder, without having to convert their Notes.
(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x | OS | |
OS0 |
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
CR = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.
-41-
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 12.05(a) shall become effective immediately after (x) the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or (y) the open of business on the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 12.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of not more than 45 days after the declaration date for the distribution, shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x | OS0 + X | |
OS0 + Y |
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
OS0 = the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution.
For the purposes of this Section 12.05(b) in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
-42-
Any increase made under this Section 12.05(b) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If any right or warrant described in this Section 12.05(b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the distribution had not been declared.
(c) If the Company distributes shares of Capital Stock, evidences of the Companys indebtedness or other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Companys Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, excluding:
(i) dividends, distributions, rights or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 12.05(a) or Section 12.05(b) of this Supplemental Indenture;
(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 12.05(d) of this Supplemental Indenture; and
(iii) spin-offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 12.05(c) shall apply,
then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x | SP0 | |||
SP0 FMV |
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
CR = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the ExDividend Date for such distribution; and
-43-
FMV = the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of shares of Capital Stock, evidence of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants, distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
If the Board of Directors determines the FMV (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.05(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant this Section 12.05(c) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 12.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit that are, or when issued, will be, traded on a U.S. national securities exchange (each, a spin-off), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off will be increased based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x | FMV0 + MP0 | |||
MP0 |
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off;
CR = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off;
FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off; and
MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off.
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate described in this Section 12.05(c) shall occur immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days following the effective date of any spin-off, references within the portion of this Section 12.05(c) related to spin-offs to ten trading days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such spin-off and the relevant Conversion Date.
-44-
If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 12.05(c) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
For purposes of this Section 12.05(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 12.11 of this Supplemental Indenture), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Companys Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (Trigger Event): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12.05(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 12.05(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Record Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 12.05(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x | SP0 | |||||||
SP0 C |
-45-
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
CR = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0 = the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock.
Such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 12.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 12.05(d) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR = CR0 x | AC + (SP x OS) | |||||||
OS0 x SP |
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
CR = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the last Trading Day of the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
-46-
OS = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration of such tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and
SP = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 12.05(e) shall become effective immediately following the tenth Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days following the date that any tender or exchange offer expires, references within this Section 12.05(e) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described in Section 12.02 based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then notwithstanding the foregoing conversion rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting holder. Instead, such holder will be treated as if such holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment
(f) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 12.05, the Company may from time to time, subject to any applicable stock exchange listing requirements, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Companys best interest. Any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive. The Company also may, in its sole discretion, increase the Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of Capital Stock (or rights to acquire Capital Stock) or from any event treated as such for tax purposes. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Security Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
-47-
SECTION 12.06. No Adjustment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.05 of this Supplemental Indenture:
(a) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made except as specifically set forth in this Article XII. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as expressly provided in this Article XII, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities
(b) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article XII shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1.0%) in the Conversion Rate. However, any adjustments which are not required to be made because they would have required an increase or decrease of less than one percent (1.0%) shall be carried forward and be made on the first to occur of (i) any subsequent adjustment, (ii) the first day of the next calendar year and (iii) any conversion of the Notes.
(c) If the application of the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions of Section 12.05 of this Supplemental Indenture would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, then no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made (other than as a result of a share combination and readjustments as expressly provided in Section 12.05 of this Supplemental Indenture).
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Companys securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program or employee stock purchase plan of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, including Defaulted Interest, if any.
SECTION 12.07. Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted the Company shall mail, within 15 calendar days following such adjustment, a notice of such adjustment to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Security Registrars books and file with the Trustee an Officers Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
-48-
SECTION 12.08. Adjustment of Prices. Whenever any provision of the Base Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Price or the Stock Price (as defined below) for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to such Last Reported Sale Prices or the Stock Price, as applicable, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Price or the Stock Price is to be calculated.
SECTION 12.09. Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges or Sales on Conversion.
(a) In the event of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock;
(ii) a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or combination involving the Company;
(iii) a sale or other transfer to another Person or entity of all or substantially all of the Companys assets; or
(iv) any statutory share exchange,
in each case, in which holders of Common Stock would be entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash for their Common Stock (any such event, a Merger Event), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the Reference Property, with each unit of Reference Property meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 901(10) of the Base Indenture providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. In addition, any increase in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.12 of this Supplemental Indenture will not be payable in additional shares of Common Stock but will represent a right to receive the aggregate amount of Reference Property into which the additional shares of Common Stock would convert in the Merger Event from the surviving entity (or a direct or indirect parent thereof). If the holders receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Merger Event (x) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Make-Whole Applicable Increase pursuant to Section 12.12 of this Supplemental Indenture), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Merger Event and (y) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the Conversion Date.
-49-
(b) The supplemental indenture referred to in clause (a) of this Section 12.09 shall provide for adjustments with respect to shares of stock or securities convertible into shares of stock included in Reference Property which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article XII. If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such transaction, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes, including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, as the Board of Directors in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing.
(c) The provisions of this Section 12.09 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales or other transfers.
(d) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 12.09, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Reference Property receivable by Holders of the Notes upon the conversion of their Notes after such Merger Event and any adjustments with respect to shares of stock or securities convertible into shares of stock included in Reference Property to be made on account of such Merger Event.
SECTION 12.10. Trustees Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XII should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.07 of this Supplemental Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued or delivered upon conversion of Notes, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article XII. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under Section 12.09 of this Supplemental Indenture needs to be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. Each Conversion Agent (other than the Company or an affiliate of the Company) shall have the same protection under this Section 12.10 as the Trustee.
SECTION 12.11. Rights Distributions Pursuant to Stockholders Rights Plans. Upon conversion of any Note or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provisions for the Holder thereof, to the extent such Holder is to receive any shares of Common Stock, if any, upon such conversion, to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the consideration otherwise deliverable hereunder upon such conversion, the rights described in any stockholders rights plan the Company may have in effect at such time, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted upon such separation in accordance with Section 12.05(c) of this Supplemental Indenture. A further adjustment shall occur as described in Section 12.05(c) above if such rights become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness, or assets, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such right.
-50-
SECTION 12.12. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection With Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.
(a) Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture or the Notes to the contrary, if the date a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the Effective Date) is prior to the Maturity Date, then the Conversion Rate applicable to each Note to be converted shall, if the applicable Conversion Notice therefor is received by the Conversion Agent at any time from, and including, the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change to, and including, the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change would have constituted a Fundamental Change but for an exception to or exclusion from the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change), be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 12.12, otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to this Article XII, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.
(b) As used herein, Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the number of additional shares of Common Stock to be added to the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, set forth in the table below, which corresponds to the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the price (the Stock Price) paid (or deemed paid) per share of the Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Record Date of the event occurs, during such five consecutive Trading Day period.
(c) The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in clause (e) below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The Make-Whole Applicable Increase set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 12.05 of this Supplemental Indenture.
-51-
(e) The following table sets forth the Make-Whole Applicable Increase to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 12.12 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

(f) The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the Make-Whole Applicable Increase will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increase set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;
(ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $80.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the Make-Whole Applicable Increase will be zero and the Conversion Rate will not be increased pursuant to this Section 12.12; and
(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $17.63 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the Make-Whole Applicable Increase will be zero and the Conversion Rate will not be increased pursuant to this Section 12.12.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock upon conversion exceed 56.7214 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate.
SECTION 12.13. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:
(i) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would (as anticipated based on circumstances in effect at the time notice would be due under this Section 12.13, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.05 of this Supplemental Indenture;
(ii) Merger Event; or
-52-
(iii) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of the Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the Security Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
SECTION 12.14. Calculation of Adjustments. All calculations and other determinations under this Article XII shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share or nearest cent, as applicable.
SECTION 12.15. Conversion Responsibilities of Trustee and Conversion Agent. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment to the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein or in any supplemental indenture in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into, or to perform any calculations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601 of the Base Indenture, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article XII.
ARTICLE XIII
Subordination
SECTION 13.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of principal of, interest, Additional Interest, if any, and any other Obligations on, the Notes is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XIII, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Obligations due in respect of existing and future Senior Indebtedness, including Senior Indebtedness created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed after the Closing Date.
-53-
SECTION 13.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. The holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Obligations due in respect of Senior Indebtedness (including, with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness, any interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding described in this Section 13.02 at the rate specified in the applicable Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not interest is an allowed claim enforceable against the Company in such proceeding) before the Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Notes, including any amount payable upon acceleration of the Notes, any payment to acquire any of the Notes for cash, property or securities or any distribution with respect to the Notes of any cash, property or securities, in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company:
(a) in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company;
(b) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property;
(c) in an assignment for the benefit of the Companys creditors; or
(d) in any marshaling of the Companys assets and liabilities.
SECTION 13.03. Default on Designated Senior Indebtedness.
(a) The Company shall not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of any Obligations with respect to the Notes, including any amount payable upon acceleration of the Notes, if:
(i) a payment default on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing; or
(ii) any other default (a Non-Payment Default) occurs and is continuing on any series of Designated Senior Indebtedness that permits holders of that series of Designated Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives actual notice of such default (a Payment Blockage Notice) from the Company, a Senior Debt Agent for such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of such Designated Senior Indebtedness.
(b) The Company may and shall resume payments on, and distributions in respect of, the Notes: (i) in the case of a payment default in respect of Designated Senior Indebtedness, upon the date on which such default is cured or waived; and (ii) in the case of a Non-Payment Default in respect of Designated Senior Indebtedness, upon the earlier of (x) the date on which such Non-Payment Default is cured or waived and (y) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received unless the maturity on any Designated Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated. In addition, no new Payment Blockage Notice may be delivered unless and until: (1) at least 360 days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (2) all scheduled payments of principal of, interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash.
-54-
(c) No Non-Payment Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been waived for a period of not less than 90 days.
(d) If the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes when: (i) the payment is prohibited by this Article XIII and (ii) the Trustee or such Holder has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited, the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, shall hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Upon the proper written request of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, shall deliver the amounts in trust to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their proper representative.
SECTION 13.04. Acceleration of Notes.
If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Senior Debt Agents of the acceleration.
SECTION 13.05. When Distribution Must be Paid Over.
With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article XIII, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIII, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.
SECTION 13.06. Notice by the Company.
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article XIII, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article XIII.
SECTION 13.07. Subrogation.
After all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full and until the Notes have been paid in full, the Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article XIII to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes.
-55-
SECTION 13.08. Relative Rights.
This Article XIII defines the relative rights of the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
(a) impair, as between the Company and the Holders, the Obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and interest and Additional Interest, if any, on, the Notes in accordance with their terms;
(b) affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or
(c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to the Holders.
If the Company fails because of the prohibitions in this Article XIII to pay principal of, or interest or Additional Interest, if any, on, or comply with its obligations to convert, the Notes on the due date, whether such failure is a Default or Event of Default, as applicable, will be determined without regard to such prohibitions.
SECTION 13.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company.
No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with the Indenture.
SECTION 13.10. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.
Notwithstanding this Article XIII or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office at least two Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article XIII. Only the Company may give the notice. Nothing in this Article XIII shall apply to or impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 703 of the Base Indenture.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any of the Conversion Agent, Paying Agent, and Security Registrar may do the same with like rights.
The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or a Senior
-56-
Debt Agent to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Senior Debt Agent. In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such Senior Debt Agent to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XIII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company held or represented by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the right of such Person under this Article XIII, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment or distribution.
SECTION 13.11. Authorization to Effect Subordination.
Each Holder, by the Holders acceptance of the Notes, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holders behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XIII, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holders attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt as contemplated by Section 8.10 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the Senior Debt Agents are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders.
ARTICLE XIV
