(a)       So long as any of the 2030 Notes remains Outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the close of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer and the Guarantors have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled their obligations under this Indenture and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of such Officer’s knowledge, the Issuer and the Guarantors during such preceding fiscal year have kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every such covenant and at the date of such certificate there is no Default that has occurred and is continuing or, if such signers do know of any such Default, the certificate shall specify such Default and what action, if any, the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Officers’ Certificate shall also notify the Trustee should the Issuer elect to change the manner in which it fixes the fiscal year end.

 

(b)       So long as any of the 2030 Notes are outstanding, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.”

11

 

 

(d)       Delivery of reports, information and documents to the Trustee under this Section 4.04 is for informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall not imply a duty to review and shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the compliance by the Issuer or the Guarantors with any of their covenants hereunder.”

 

“Section 4.07 Taxes.

 

The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of the Subsidiaries to, pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (a) all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any of the Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of it or any of the Subsidiaries and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, in each case, if unpaid, might by law become a material liability or Lien upon the property of it or any of the Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer and the Guarantors shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount the applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate actions and for which appropriate provision has been made, or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the 2030 Notes.

 

Section 4.08 Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

The Issuer and each Guarantor covenants (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Issuer or such Guarantor from paying all or any portion of the principal of and/or interest on the 2030 Notes or the Securities Guarantee of any such Guarantor as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) each hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

Section 4.09 Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness.

 

(a)       The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in conformity with GAAP is greater than 60% of Adjusted Total Assets.

 

12

 

 

(b)       The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Secured Indebtedness if, immediately after giving effect to the Incurrence of such additional Secured Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in conformity with GAAP is greater than 40% of Adjusted Total Assets.

 

(c)       The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness other than the 2030 Notes issued on the Issue Date and other Indebtedness existing on the Issue Date; provided, however, that the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness and the receipt and application of the proceeds therefrom, the Interest Coverage Ratio of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be greater than 1.5 to 1.0.

 

(d)       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.09, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may Incur pursuant to this Section 4.09 shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness, due solely to the result of fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.

 

(e)       For purposes of determining any particular amount of Indebtedness under this Section 4.09, Guarantees, Liens or obligations with respect to letters of credit supporting Indebtedness otherwise included in the determination of such particular amount shall not be included.

 

Section 4.10 Maintenance of Unencumbered Assets.

 

The Issuer and its Subsidiaries will maintain Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

The Issuer will not permit any of its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, at any time after the issuance of the 2030 Notes (including following any release of a Guarantor from its obligations under the Indenture with respect to the 2030 Notes) to Guarantee any unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuer (that would constitute Indebtedness under clauses (1) or (2) of the definition thereof) in an amount at least equal to $100 million, unless, within 30 days thereafter, such Subsidiary executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the Indenture providing for a Guarantee of the 2030 Notes by such Subsidiary.”

Either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then Outstanding may send the notice;

 

14

 

 

(5)    there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (including a default with respect to Securities of any series issued under the Base Indenture other than the 2030 Notes) having an outstanding principal amount of $50 million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created,

 

(i)       an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration, and/or

If any other Event of Default with respect to the 2030 Notes at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then Outstanding may declare the entire principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be due and immediately payable by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee. Upon any such declaration of acceleration, such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest amount of the 2030 Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then Outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission or annulment would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) shall be remedied or cured by the Issuer or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

SECTION 5.           Optional Redemption. Prior to June 1, 2030 (1 month prior to their maturity date) (the “Par Call Date”), the Issuer may redeem the 2030 Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of:

 

(1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Redemption Date (assuming the notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 20 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the Redemption Date, and

 

(2) 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes to be redeemed,

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date.

 

On or after the Par Call Date, the Issuer may redeem the 2030 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2030 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

 

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the date of notice of redemption based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities— Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the Redemption Date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the Redemption Date.

 

A-4

 

 

If on the third Business Day preceding the date of notice of redemption H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such date of notice of redemption of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

 

The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 6.           [Reserved].

 

SECTION 7.           Notice of Redemption. Notice of any redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with the Depositary’s procedures) at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of 2030 Notes to be redeemed.

 

A-5

 

 

In the case of a partial redemption, selection of the 2030 Notes for redemption will be made pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. The Trustee’s actions and determinations in determining the method for a partial redemption shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes and the Issuer shall indemnify the Trustee with respect to any selection of a method of partial redemption. No 2030 Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. If any 2030 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to the 2030 Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the 2030 Note to be redeemed. A new 2030 Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the 2030 Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of the 2030 Note upon surrender for cancellation of the original 2030 Note. For so long as the 2030 Notes are held by DTC (or another Depositary), the redemption of the 2030 Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the Depositary.

 

Unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after the Redemption Date interest will cease to accrue on the 2030 Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

 

SECTION 8.           Mandatory Redemption. The Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments with respect to the 2030 Notes.

 

SECTION 9.           Additional 2030 Notes. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the 2030 Notes, create and issue additional 2030 Notes (the “Additional 2030 Notes”) ranking pari passu with the Initial 2030 Notes in all respects (or in all respects except for the public offering price of the Additional 2030 Notes, the issue date thereof, the payment of interest accruing on the Additional 2030 Notes prior to the issue date thereof or except for the first payment of interest on the Additional 2030 Notes following the issue date thereof). The Additional 2030 Notes shall be treated as a single class with the Initial 2030 Notes and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Initial 2030 Notes, provided that if such Additional 2030 Notes are not fungible with the Initial 2030 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional 2030 Notes will have a separate CUSIP or ISIN number.

 

SECTION 10.         Denominations, Transfer, Exchange. The 2030 Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of 2030 Notes may be registered and 2030 Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any 2030 Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any 2030 Note redeemed in part. Also, the Issuer and the Registrar are not required to transfer or exchange any 2030 Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of 2030 Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

 

SECTION 11.         Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a 2030 Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

A-6

 

 

SECTION 12.         Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture, the 2030 Notes and the Securities Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then outstanding, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder of a 2030 Note, the parties thereto may also amend or supplement the Indenture, the 2030 Notes and the Securities Guarantees under the limited circumstances provided in the Indenture.

 

SECTION 13.         Defaults and Remedies. If a Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2030 Notes generally may declare all the 2030 Notes to be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency as set forth in the Indenture, with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding 2030 Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. Holders of the 2030 Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the 2030 Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 2030 Notes may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the 2030 Notes notice of any continuing Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2030 Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the 2030 Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture (including recission and annulment of any acceleration pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Indenture) except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, or the premium on, the 2030 Notes.

 

SECTION 14.         Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or to consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets, and require the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, to maintain a minimum ratio of Total Unencumbered Assets to Unsecured Indebtedness. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Issuer must annually report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations and other provisions in the Indenture.

 

SECTION 15.         No Recourse Against Others. No director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, member or manager or controlling person of the Issuer or any Guarantor shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer under the 2030 Notes or the Indenture, or of any Guarantor under its Securities Guarantee or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of 2030 Notes by accepting a 2030 Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2030 Notes.

 

SECTION 16.         Securities Guarantees. This 2030 Note will be entitled to the benefits of certain Securities Guarantees made for the benefit of the Holders. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and obligations thereunder of the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders.

 

A-7

 

 

SECTION 17.         Trustee Dealings with the Issuer. Subject to certain terms, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of 2030 Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer, their Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.

 

SECTION 18.         Authentication. This 2030 Note shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

 

SECTION 19.         Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entirety), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

 

SECTION 20.         CUSIP and ISIN Numbers. Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused CUSIP and ISIN numbers to be printed on the 2030 Notes and the Trustee may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the 2030 Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers placed thereon.

 

SECTION 21.         Governing Law. This 2030 Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

 

The Issuer will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture.
