ARTICLE 2 - THE SERIES OF SECURITIES

 

Section 2.01. The Form and Title of the Debt Securities.

 

There is hereby established a new series of Debt Securities to be issued under the Indenture and to be designated as the Company’s 5.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”). The Notes shall be executed,

 



 

authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of the Original Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture (including the form of Note set forth as Exhibit A hereto (the terms of which are incorporated in and made a part of the Supplemental Indenture for all intents and purposes) and the additional covenants set forth in Article 3 hereof).

 

The Notes shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto. The Notes shall be registered in such names, shall be in such amounts and shall have such other specific terms contemplated in the form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, as shall be communicated by the Company to the Trustee in accordance with the administrative procedures, as in effect from time to time, established to provide for the issuance of the Notes.

 

Section 2.02. Amount.

 

The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes for original issue in an aggregate principal amount of up to $250,000,000 upon the Company’s order for the authentication and delivery of the Notes. The authorized aggregate principal amount of the Notes may be increased at any time hereafter and the series may be reopened for issuances of additional Notes, upon the Company’s order without the consent of any Holder. The Notes issued on the date hereof and any such additional Notes that may be issued hereafter shall be part of the same series of Debt Securities.

 

Section 2.03. Stated Maturity.

 

The Notes may be issued on any Business Day on or after May 27, 2003, and the Stated Maturity of the Notes shall be June 1, 2013.

 

Section 2.04. Interest and Interest Rates.

 

The rate of interest on each Note shall be 5.875% per annum, accruing from May 27, 2003 and interest shall be payable, semi-annually in arrears, on June 1 and December 1, of each year (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing December 1, 2003, to the Persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding May 15 and November 15, respectively, whether or not such day is a Business Day (each such date, a “Regular Record Date”). The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months and a 360-day year. The amount of interest payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the days elapsed in any partial month. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on a Note is not a Business Day, then a payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was originally payable. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and shall either (i) be paid to the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice of which shall be given to Holders of the Notes not less than 10 days prior to such special record date, or (ii) be paid at such time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.

 

Section 2.05. Place of Payment.

 

The Place of Payment where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for payment shall at all times be in the city and state of New York and shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the City and State of New York.

 

Section 2.06. Optional Redemption.

 

At its option, the Company may choose to redeem the Notes, as a whole or in part, in principal amounts of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, at any time or from time to time upon notification to the Holders of the Notes given at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date therefor, discounted to such redemption date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such redemption date; provided that installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on any date on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable to the registered Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities), registered as such as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates. The redemption price shall be calculated and certified to the Trustee by the Independent Investment Banker; provided that if the institution so appointed has notified the Trustee in writing at least 15 days prior to the redemption date that it is unwilling or unable to make such calculation, such calculation shall be made by another Independent Investment Banker appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company and at the cost and expense of the Company. The notice to the Holders shall state that the redemption price shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 2.06.

 

Section 2.07. Sinking Fund Obligations.

 

The Company has no obligation to redeem or purchase any Notes pursuant to any sinking fund or analogous requirement or upon the happening of a specified event or at the option of a Holder thereof.

 

Section 2.08. Defeasance and Discharge; Covenant Defeasance.

 

Article 11 of the Original Indenture, including without limitation, Section 11.02(b) thereof, shall apply to the additional covenants set forth in Article 3 hereof and the Notes, and such additional covenants set forth in Article 3 hereof shall be subject to the covenant defeasance option pursuant to Section 11.02(b) of the Original Indenture.

 

Section 2.09. Global Securities.

 

The Notes shall initially be issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities. Such Global Securities (i) shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, which shall act as Depositary with respect to the Notes, (ii) shall bear the legends set forth in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, (iii) may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities in definitive form upon the terms and subject to the conditions provided in Section 2.15 of the Original Indenture and (iv) shall otherwise be subject to the applicable provisions of the Indenture.

The additional covenants and provisions set forth in Article 3 hereof are solely for the benefit of the Notes and its Holders, and shall not be applicable, in whole or part, to any other series of Debt Securities unless the instruments establishing any of them shall so expressly provide, and each such case, as therein expressly provided.

The foregoing restriction shall not apply to, or prevent the creation or existence of, any of the following:

 

(1) Permitted Liens;

 

(2) Liens upon any property or assets created at the time of acquisition of such property or assets by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or within one year after such time, to secure all or part of the purchase price for such property or assets or Debt incurred to finance such purchase price, whether such Debt was incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year of, such acquisition;

 

(3) Liens upon any property or assets to secure all or part of the cost of construction, development, repair or improvements thereon or to secure Debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within one year after, completion of such construction, development, repair or improvements or the commencement of full operations thereof (whichever is later), to provide funds for any such purpose;

 

(4) Liens upon any property or assets existing thereon at the time of the acquisition thereof by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether or not the obligations secured thereby are assumed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), or the assumption by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of obligations secured by any Lien that exists at the time of acquisition by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of the property or assets subject to such Lien or at the time of the acquisition of the Person that owns such property or assets; provided, however, that any such Lien only encumbers the property or assets so acquired;

 

(5) Liens upon any property or assets of a Person existing thereon at the time (i) such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) such Person is merged with or into, or consolidated with, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (iii) of a sale, lease or other disposition of the properties of a Person (or division thereof) as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, than any such Lien only encumbers the property or assets of such Person at the time such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.01, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume or incur any Lien upon any Principal Property to secure any Debt of the Company or any other Person (other than the Notes) that is not excepted by clauses (1) through (12), inclusive, of this Section 3.01 without securing the Outstanding Notes, provided that after giving effect to the creation, assumption or incurrence of such Lien and Debt, and the application of the proceeds of such Debt, if any, received as a result thereof, the aggregate principal amount of all Debt then outstanding secured by such Lien and all similar Liens (not including Debt permitted to be secured under clauses (1) through (12) inclusive, of this Section 3.01), together with all net sale proceeds received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from Sale-Leaseback Transactions (excluding Sale-Leaseback Transactions permitted by clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of the first paragraph of Section 3.02), would not exceed 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

 

Section 3.02. Restriction of Sale-Leaseback Transaction.

 

The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in a Sale-Leaseback Transaction, unless:

(2) the Sale-Leaseback Transaction involves a lease for a period, including renewals, of not more than three years;

 

(3) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled to incur Debt secured by a Lien on Principal Property subject thereto in a principal amount equal to or exceeding the net proceeds received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction without equally and ratably securing the Notes pursuant to Section 3.01; or

 

(4) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, within a one-year period after such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, applies or causes to be applied an amount not less than the net sale proceeds from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction to (i) the prepayment, repayment, reduction, redemption or retirement of Pari Passu Debt of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the expenditure or expenditures for (y) the acquisition, development or construction of, or repair or improvement on, Principal Property or (z) capital stock or other equity interests in a Person that is or with such expenditure becomes a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or in a joint venture, and in each case, whose principal assets consists of Principal Property.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.02, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, effect any Sale-Leaseback Transaction that is not excepted by clauses (1) through (4), inclusive, of this Section 3.02, provided that after giving effect thereto and the application of the proceeds, if any, received as a result thereof, the net sales proceeds received by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries from such Sale-Leaseback Transaction, together with the aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Debt (other than the Notes) secured by Liens upon Principal Property not excepted by clauses (1) through (12), inclusive, of Section 3.01, would not exceed 10% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.

Section 3.04. Restricted Payments.

(ii) Restricted Payments made by any Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or to another Subsidiary of the Company;

(v) the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or Rights related thereto, in exchange for, or out of the net cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (a sale or issuance will be deemed substantially concurrent if such redemption, repurchase, retirement or acquisition occurs not more than 90 days after such sale or issuance) (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than any Disqualified Equity), provided that the amount of any such net cash proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other

 



 

acquisition, or payments, shall be excluded from clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph;

 

(vi) (A) the purchase or other acquisition of one or more Equity Interests in the Company from former employees or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of its or their general partners), provided that the aggregate price paid for all such purchased or acquired Equity Interests shall not exceed $2,000,000 in any 12-month period; and (B) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries held by any current or former officer, employee or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of its or their general partners) pursuant to the terms of any agreements (including employment agreements) and plans approved by the Board of Directors, including any management equity plan or stock option plan or any other management or employee benefit plan, agreement or trust, provided, however, that the aggregate price paid for all such repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests pursuant to this clause (vi) shall not exceed the sum of (y) $5,000,000 in any twelve-month period and (z) the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company during such 12-month period from issuance of such Equity Interests pursuant to such agreements or plans, provided, however, if the amount so paid in any calendar year is less than $5,000,000, such shortfall may be used to repurchase, redeem, acquire or retire such Equity Interests in either of the next two 12-month periods in addition to the $5,000,000 that may otherwise be paid in each such 12-month periods;

 

(vii) repurchases of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the cashless exercise of stock options;

 

(viii) reasonable and customary directors’ fees to the members of the Board of Directors, provided that such fees are consistent with past practice or current requirements;

 

(ix) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate principal amount since the date of original issuance of the Notes not to exceed $50,000,000;

 

provided, further, that, with respect to clauses (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) above, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

In determining whether any Restricted Payment is permitted by the foregoing covenant, the Company may allocate or reallocate all or any portion of such Restricted Payment among the clauses (i) through (ix) of the preceding paragraph or among such clauses and the first paragraph of this Section 3.04, provided that at the time of such allocation or reallocation, all such Restricted Payments, or allocated portions thereof, would be permitted under the various provisions of the foregoing covenant.

 

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors and as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee) on the date of the transfer, incurrence or issuance of such non-cash Restricted Payment.

A waiver which changes or eliminates any term, provision or condition of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Debt Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Debt Securities of such series with respect to such term, provision or condition, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]

This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities of the Company (the “Notes”) issued under an Indenture dated as of February 21, 2002 (the “Original Indenture”), as supplemented by the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 27, 2003 (the “Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Original Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, a New York banking corporation, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all applicable indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. As provided in the Indenture, the Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates, may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the Indenture provided or permitted. This Note is one of a series of Debt Securities designated on the face hereof, which series is not limited in aggregate principal amount.

 

At its option, the Company may choose to redeem the Notes, as a whole or in part, in principal amounts of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, at any time or from time to time upon notification to the Holders of the Notes given at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes, exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date therefor, discounted to such redemption date on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed to such redemption date; provided, that installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on any date on or prior to a redemption date shall be payable to the registered Holders of such Notes (or one or more Predecessor Securities), registered as such as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.

 

Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified herein or in the Indenture, as the case may be.

 

 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Notes.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means, for any redemption date relating to the Notes, (i) the average of four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Independent Investment Banker obtains fewer than four such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

 

“Independent Investment Banker” means either Banc One Capital Markets, Inc. or BNP Paribas, as specified by the Company, or any successor firm, or if such firm is unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
