Redemption”) at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined below) (the “Special Mandatory Redemption Price”).

Section 4.04.    Repurchase of Notes Upon a Change of Control. (a) If a Change of Control Repurchase Event occurs with respect to a Series of Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its right to redeem such Notes as described in Section 4.02 of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company will be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes of such Series to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes of such Series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased up to, but not including, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to the Notes or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute a Change of Control, the Company will electronically deliver or mail a notice to Holders of the applicable Series of Notes, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is electronically delivered or mailed (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if electronically delivered or mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

(b)    On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(i)    accept for payment all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(ii)    deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(iii)    deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

(c)    The Paying Agent will promptly deliver to each Holder of Notes properly tendered the payment for the Notes, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Notes surrendered.

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase Notes in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner and at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements hereunder for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.

(e)    If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of the applicable outstanding Series of Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event and the Company purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice to the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.

(f)    The Company will comply with the requirements of Section 14e-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent that those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes as a result of Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Notes, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations this Section 4.04 by virtue of compliance with such securities laws and regulations.

 

- 13 -


(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or otherwise, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event may be waived by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes affected by such waiver.

- 17 -


(c)    default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the Company in the Indenture relating to the Notes of such Series (other than a covenant a default in whose performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 5.04 specifically dealt with), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, or overnight delivery service to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series a written notice specifying such default or breach and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under the Indenture;

However, upon an Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.04(d) or Section 5.04(e), the principal amount of all outstanding Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding Notes to the acceleration date, shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

- 18 -


At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes of a Series has been made but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal and interest, if any, of Notes which have become due solely as a result of such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 6.04 of the Base Indenture. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or been abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

Section 5.06.    References in Base Indenture. With respect to the Notes, references to “Section 6.01(1),” “Section 6.01(2),” “Section 6.01(3),” “Section 6.01(4),” and “Section 6.01(5)” in the Base Indenture shall be deemed to refer to Section 5.04(c), Section 5.04(b), Section 5.04(c), Section 5.04(d), and Section 5.04(e) of this First Supplemental Indenture, respectively.
