ARTICLE 3

 

Section 3.01          Section 4.03 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

Section 4.03.         Reports.

 

(a)           Whether or not the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will provide Information to Holders of Notes in one of the following methods:  (1) by filing the Information with the Commission for public availability, or (2) by posting the Information on the Company’s website (or the website of a direct or indirect parent of the Company), or (3) by making the Information available on a password-protected online data system (including to any bona fide prospective investor, any securities analyst or any market maker in the Notes (a “Permitted Party”) upon certification to the Company of its status and certain other certifications relating to the compliance of such transaction with applicable securities laws).  For purposes of this section, the “Information” will include:  (a) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the period presented, and a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent

public accounting firm; (b) within 60 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, unaudited quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, subject to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes and a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for the period presented; and (c) promptly from time to time after the occurrence of an event that would be required to be reported by the Company on a current report on Form 8-K under any of Items 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 2.01 (including related financial statements under Item 9.01), 2.03, 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 3.03, 4.01, 4.02, 5.01 and 5.02(b) and (c) (other than with respect to information otherwise required or contemplated by Item 402 of Regulation S-K), as Form 8-K was in effect on October 7, 2014, the information with respect to such event required by the applicable Items; provided, however, that no such disclosure will be required to include as an exhibit, or to include a summary of the terms of, any employment or compensatory arrangement agreement, plan or understanding between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) and any director, manager or executive officer, of the Company (or any of its subsidiaries); provided further that trade secrets and other confidential information that is competitively sensitive in the good faith and reasonable determination of the Company may be redacted from disclosures.

 

(b)           The Company will provide S&P and Moody’s (and their respective successors) with information on a periodic basis as S&P or Moody’s, as the case may be, shall reasonably require in order to maintain public ratings of the Notes.

 

(c)           All Information will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The Information will not be required to contain separate financial information for Guarantors or for Subsidiaries whose securities are pledged to secure the Notes.  In addition, the Information will not be required to include any separate financial or other information pertaining to any third party credit enhancement, a significant customer or any affiliate of the Company.  While the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company is in registration with respect to an initial public offering, the Company or any direct or indirect parent of the Company shall not be required to disclose any information or take any actions which, in the view of the Company, would violate the securities laws or the Commission’s gunjumping rules.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to provide information pursuant to this Section 4.03 may be satisfied with respect to financial information of the Company and its Subsidiaries by furnishing such information of any direct or indirect parent of the Company; provided that such information is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences, if any, between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

 

(d)           The Company and the Guarantors agree that, for so long as any Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not required to file with the Commission the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, they will furnish to the Permitted Parties, upon their request, in one of the methods pursuant to which the Information is to be provided above, any information that (1) is not included in the Information and (2) is required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Section 3.02          Section 5.01(a) is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
