Table of Contents

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 24, 2011

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

LOGO

Tomkins, LLC

Tomkins, Inc.

OFFER TO EXCHANGE

 

 

Up to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 issued by Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc., as co-issuers, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, for any and all outstanding 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (CUSIP Nos. 693492 AC4 and U72209 AB2) issued by Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc., as co-issuers.

The exchange notes and the guarantees thereof will be the senior obligations of Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC, as co-issuers. The exchange notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a second priority secured basis by Pinafore Holdings B.V., the indirect parent company of Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc., and certain of Pinafore Holdings B.V.’s domestic and foreign subsidiaries.

 

 

We are conducting the exchange offer in order to provide you with an opportunity to exchange your unregistered notes for freely tradable notes that have been registered under the Securities Act.

Terms of the Exchange Offer:

 

   

We will exchange all initial notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of exchange notes that are freely tradable.

 

   

You may withdraw tenders of initial notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

 

   

The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2011, unless extended.

 

   

We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

 

   

We believe that the exchange of initial notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

   

The terms of the exchange notes are substantially identical to the initial notes, except that the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act, and transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the initial notes do not apply to the exchange notes.

All untendered initial notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the initial notes and in the indenture. In general, the initial notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the initial notes under the Securities Act.


Table of Contents

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The Letter of Transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for the initial notes where such initial notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period beginning on the date the exchange offer is consummated and ending on the earlier of 180 days after the date of this prospectus and the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making activities or other trading activities, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 for a discussion of certain risks that you should consider before participating in the exchange offer.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the exchange notes to be issued in the exchange offer or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. If you receive any other information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer of these securities in any state where the offer is not permitted.

The date of this prospectus is                 , 2011.

(“Holdings” or the “Company”) is a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands, and certain of its directors and executive officers are residents of The Netherlands. In addition, a substantial portion of the assets owned by us and the aforesaid individuals are located outside the United States. Similarly, many of the guarantors of the notes are organized under the laws of various jurisdictions outside of the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to effect service of process upon us or any of the aforesaid persons within the United States with respect to matters arising under the U.S. federal securities laws or to enforce against us or any of such persons judgments of U.S. courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Service of process in U.S. proceedings on persons in The Netherlands, however, is regulated by a multilateral treaty guaranteeing service of writs and other legal documents in civil cases if the current address of the defendant is known. The competent Dutch court will apply Dutch private international law to determine which laws will be applicable to any private law claim brought before it and apply that law to such claim. It is uncertain whether a Dutch court would apply or enforce the civil liability provisions of U.S. Federal securities laws.

We have been advised by our Dutch counsel that in the absence of an applicable treaty or convention providing for the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters, other than arbitral awards, between the United States of America and the Netherlands, a judgment of a court in the United States of America (the “U.S. Judgment”) is not automatically enforceable in the Netherlands.

To obtain an enforceable judgment against the Dutch subsidiaries in the Netherlands, the matter will need to be re-litigated before the competent court in The Netherlands. In the course of such proceedings, the U.S. Judgment will have to be submitted to the relevant court in the Netherlands, and the Dutch court may give the effect to the U.S. Judgment as it deems appropriate.

According to current practice, however, based upon case law, Dutch courts will be expected to render a judgment in accordance with the U.S. Judgment, if and to the extent that: (i) the court rendering the U.S. Judgment had jurisdiction over the subject matter of the litigation on internationally acceptable grounds and has conducted the proceedings in accordance with general principles of fair trial; (ii) the U.S. Judgment is final and definite; and (iii) such recognition is not in conflict with an existing Dutch judgment or with Dutch public policy (i.e. a fundamental principle of Dutch Law).

PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

Financial and Other Information

On July 27, 2010, the Independent Directors of Tomkins plc (“Tomkins”) and the Board of Directors of Pinafore Acquisitions Limited (now known as Tomkins Acquisitions Limited) announced that they had reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition (the “Acquisition”) for the entire share capital of Tomkins, including the Tomkins shares underlying the Tomkins ADRs and certain employee equity awards, implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the U.K.’s Companies Act 2006. Predecessor results for periods prior to the Acquisition on September 24, 2010 (“Predecessor”) have been presented separately from Successor results subsequent to the Acquisition (“Successor”).

Prior to the Acquisition, Tomkins drew up its annual financial statements to the Saturday nearest December 31. Accordingly, Predecessor consolidated financial statements are presented for the 53-week period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”), the 52-week period from January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 (“Fiscal 2009”), and the 38-week period from January 3, 2010 to September 24, 2010 (“9M 2010”). The Predecessor financial statements do not reflect the effects of the accounting for, or the financing of, the Acquisition. Holdings draws up its annual financial statements to December 31. Although Holdings was incorporated on September 1, 2010, it had no assets or liabilities (other than the proceeds of the ordinary shares issued on incorporation) and no operations prior to the Acquisition. Accordingly, this prospectus contains Successor consolidated financial statements that present the results of the Successor’s operations for the 14-week period from September 25, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (“Q4 2010”).

Holdings draws up its quarterly financial statements to the Saturday nearest the end of the relevant fiscal quarter. We have included in this prospectus the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Holdings for the 13-week period from January 1, 2011 to April 2, 2011 (“Q1 2011”) that were made available to holders of the Notes on May 17, 2011.

The audited consolidated financial statements do not contain results for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”). As Holdings had and has no interest in any operations other than those of Tomkins, comparison of the results of the Successor with those of the Predecessor is hindered only by the effects of the accounting for, and the financing of, the Acquisition. For the purposes of facilitating the discussion of Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009 and Q1 2011 with Q1 2010, we therefore refer in Management’s Discussion and Analysis to our unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statement for Fiscal 2010 and for Q1 2010 that is presented in “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” included elsewhere in this prospectus. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with SEC Regulation S-X Article 11 and incorporates adjustments that give effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 3, 2010 but excludes items of income and expense that arose in connection with the Transactions but will not have a continuing impact for us beyond the twelve months following completion of the Transactions. The unaudited pro forma financial information for Fiscal 2010 and for Q1 2010 does not comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and does not purport either to represent actual results or to be indicative of results we might achieve in future periods.

Table of Contents

During Fiscal 2009, we substantially completed our long-term program of exiting our non-core businesses. We distinguish within our continuing operations between those of our operating segments that are ongoing, which we identify as “ongoing segments”, and those that we have exited but do not meet the conditions to be classified as discontinued operations, which we identify as “exited segments.”

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS, which differs in certain respects from U.S. GAAP.

We assess the performance of our businesses using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS and are therefore termed “non-GAAP measures.” Under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” we identify and explain the relevance of each of the non-GAAP measures referenced herein, show how they are calculated and present a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure defined under IFRS. We do not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or superior to, the equivalent measures defined under IFRS. The non-GAAP measures that we use may not be directly comparable with similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA

Certain market, ranking and industry data included in this prospectus, including the size of certain markets and our size or position and the positions of our competitors within these markets, including our products and services relative to our competitors, are based on estimates of our management. These estimates have been derived from our management’s knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate, as well as information obtained from surveys, reports by market research firms, our customers, distributors, suppliers, trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. You should not place undue reliance on them as estimates are inherently uncertain. Additionally, we have cited information compiled by certain industry sources and third parties, including:

SUMMARY

This summary highlights information included elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section and the historical financial statements and the notes thereto before making an investment decision. This summary may not contain all of the information that may be important to you.

On July 27, 2010, the Independent Directors of Tomkins plc (“Tomkins”) and the Board of Directors of Pinafore Acquisitions Limited (now known as Tomkins Acquisitions Limited) (“Tomkins Acquisitions”) announced that they had reached an agreement on the terms of a recommended cash acquisition (the “Acquisition”) for the entire share capital of Tomkins, including the Tomkins shares underlying the Tomkins American Depositary Receipts and certain employee equity awards, implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the U.K.’s Companies Act 2006 (the “Scheme”). Tomkins Acquisitions was a newly incorporated company formed for the purpose of implementing the Acquisition at the direction of Onex Corporation (“Onex”) and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB,” collectively the “Sponsors”). Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc. are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Tomkins Acquisitions. On August 31, 2010, the requisite majorities of Tomkins’ shareholders voted to approve the Acquisition. On September 21, 2010, the High Court of Justice in England and Wales (the “Court”) sanctioned the Scheme and a Court hearing to confirm the corresponding reduction in share capital of Tomkins plc occurred on September 23, 2010. The Court-issued orders pursuant to the Court hearings were registered and became effective on September 24, 2010.

When used in this prospectus, the terms “Tomkins,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us,” except as otherwise indicated or as the context otherwise indicates, means Pinafore Holdings B.V. (“Holdings”) and its subsidiaries, including, Tomkins Acquisitions, Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc., after giving effect to the consummation of the Acquisition.

Unless stated otherwise, all references to amounts for Fiscal 2010 presented in this summary are on a pro forma basis as described further in “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.”

Our Company

We are a diversified global engineering and manufacturing company with a portfolio of market-leading businesses. Our products are highly engineered and used in the industrial, automotive and construction end markets. We have a broad collection of premier brands that are among the most globally recognized in their respective end markets, and we estimate that approximately 80% of our sales for Fiscal 2010 were derived from businesses that hold the number one position in the markets in which they operate. Approximately 38% of our Fiscal 2010 sales were generated from the global industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket, where we achieve higher margins. Our industrial replacement business provides us with exposure to a broad range of industrial end market segments that have an ongoing need for replacement parts, while the automotive aftermarket provides us with a stable source of revenue. The significant majority of our products, including those useful for the reduction of energy consumption and for safety improvement, are positioned in the premium end of their respective end markets, and as a result, allow for associated premium pricing. The prices of our products are low relative to the potential cost of their failure within the critical systems in which they are used, such as industrial machinery, automotive engines and heating, ventilating and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems. We attribute our end market leadership positions to a combination of our brand strength, product quality and breadth and customer service and support. We are led by an experienced, proven management team that has successfully streamlined our portfolio to focus on our core businesses, and implemented wide-ranging, significant cost-saving restructuring initiatives.

Our revenue and earnings base is highly diversified by product, geography, end market and customer. We derive revenues from nearly every developed country across the globe and are well-positioned in most emerging markets with our industrial and automotive component products. In addition, our top ten customers represented only 23% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. We maintain long-standing customer relationships and have served our top 20 customers for an average of over 35 years, while some of our largest customer relationships span over 50 years. We also have developed strong relationships with industry-leading customers in emerging markets including Chery, Tata and Mahindra & Mahindra.

Table of Contents

Our product portfolio consists of tens of thousands of SKUs, and we believe it comprises the broadest range of power transmission belts, fluid power hoses and air distribution products in the end markets in which we operate. This breadth, combined with our brand reputation, product quality, superior field sales and service support, long-standing customer relationships and ability to deliver on short lead times, has allowed us to establish and maintain our leading market positions.

During Fiscal 2010, we generated sales of $4.9 billion and our pro forma Adjusted EBITDA was $732.9 million. Capital expenditure during Fiscal 2010 was $155.9 million. For a discussion of our pro forma Adjusted EBITDA, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Our Fiscal 2010 sales can be broken down as follows:

Our Segments

Our business is divided into two business groups: Industrial & Automotive (“I&A”), which accounted for 80% of our Fiscal 2010 sales and Building Products (“BP”), which comprised the remaining 20% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. Our I&A businesses include: (i) Gates—the leading global manufacturer of power transmission belts and related products, as well as hydraulic and industrial hose and couplings; (ii) Schrader—the global leader in automotive tire pressure monitoring systems (“TPMS”); (iii) Dexter—the leading North American manufacturer of axles used in utility, industrial and recreational trailers; and (iv) several other businesses. Our BP businesses collectively are the leading North American manufacturer of products used in the HVAC systems of commercial and residential buildings, including grilles, registers, diffusers (“GRDs”), terminal units, dampers, louvers and smoke vents, among other products. We also manufacture bathtubs and shower enclosures primarily used in residential applications.

The following table illustrates our business groups’ Fiscal 2010 sales, Fiscal 2010 Adjusted EBITDA and market position and estimated market share.

Industrial & Automotive

Power Transmission. We are the world’s largest manufacturer of power transmission belts used in industrial equipment and automotive applications. Our Power Transmission products are sold under the Gates brand and include highly-engineered rubber and polyurethane accessory drives and synchronous belts, idler pulleys and tensioners. We are globally integrated with operations in 21 countries and maintain research, development and engineering capabilities worldwide. The largest component of our Power Transmission sales is to leading distributors for use in the industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket, which are higher margin businesses. The industrial replacement end market covers a broad range of industries, which have an ongoing need for replacement parts. The automotive aftermarket provides us with a stable source of revenue. We supply aftermarket belts and related components for substantially all light vehicles in North America and Europe. We also sell Power Transmission products directly to industrial and automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). For Fiscal 2010, 63% of Power Transmission’s automotive OEM sales were to customers located outside of North America, primarily in continental Europe and Asia, including Renault, PSA/Peugeot, Mercedes, Hyundai and Chery. The end market segments for our industrial products are broad and primarily cover applications such as general industrial, agricultural equipment and motorcycles. We also have a nascent presence in elevators, white goods and wind turbines. The industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket collectively represented 49% of Power Transmission’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while 41% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the automotive OEM end market. The remaining 10% of Fiscal 2010 sales were generated from the industrial OEM end market.

Fluid Power. We are a leading manufacturer of hydraulic hoses, couplings and transfer hoses used in industrial applications and in the automotive aftermarket. Our hydraulic hoses and couplings are used in technically demanding operations and must be able to withstand extreme operating conditions. Our Fluid Power products are sold under the Gates brand and are used in a variety of end market segments, such as general industrial, construction, agriculture, oil and gas, mining and energy. We have continued to broaden our Fluid Power platform by providing hydraulic service offerings (e.g., tracking, monitoring and replacement, as well as hydraulic flushing services) to the oil and gas, marine and mining end market segments. Fluid Power has a global footprint across 13 countries and serves customers worldwide such as Motion Industries, John Deere, JCB, Bobcat and Caterpillar. The industrial replacement end market accounted for 49% of Fluid Power’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while 31% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the industrial OEM end market and 20% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the automotive aftermarket.

Sensors & Valves. Through our Schrader Electronics and Schrader International businesses we are the global leader in TPMS and maintain a share of approximately 50% of the global market for TPMS products. This technology allows drivers to remotely monitor their vehicle’s tire pressure using electronic sensors attached to tire valves. Currently, our TPMS products are sold primarily to automotive OEMs that produce passenger vehicles for the U.S. market, where TPMS has been a mandatory safety system on all light vehicles since 2007. Recent legislation was passed in Europe that will mandate the use of TPMS on all new models introduced into the European passenger vehicle market starting in 2012, and all newly manufactured passenger vehicles starting in November 2014. This new legislation is expected to double the TPMS market size by the end of 2014. In addition, we believe there will be a significant aftermarket opportunity in both the United States and Europe for our Sensors & Valves products as the installed base of vehicles with TPMS continues to grow.

Other I&A. Other I&A is comprised of three businesses, Dexter, Ideal and Plews. Dexter accounts for more than half of Other I&A’s sales. Dexter is the leading manufacturer of axle components for the utility, industrial trailer and recreational vehicle end market segments in the United States. Dexter sells products directly to OEMs and through national distributors. Ideal is the leading manufacturer of gear clamps primarily for the automotive aftermarket and sells principally in the United States, Mexico and China under a variety of brands. Plews, a wholly-owned manufacturer of automotive lubrication products and repair tools, was sold on April 20, 2011 to a consortium of investors in the US led by the private equity firm, Eigen Capital LLC. In Fiscal 2010, Plews’ sales were approximately $70 million. The cash consideration of $25 million received on the disposal approximated to the carrying amount of the net assets sold.

Building Products

Air Distribution. We are the leading North American manufacturer of products that are used to distribute, recycle and vent air, and which are critical components of HVAC systems within non-residential and residential buildings. We design and manufacture a broad range of products, including, among others, GRDs, terminal units, fire and smoke dampers, louvers and fans for customers throughout North America. Our products are marketed under many established and well-known brand names including, Titus, Krueger, Ruskin and Hart & Cooley. We believe that we are the only nationwide U.S. provider of air distribution products across many of the primary categories in which we compete and we have an extensive multi-channel distribution network across the country. The majority of our products are sold through manufacturers’ representatives and building products wholesalers. The balance of our products are sold directly to HVAC OEMs, such as Carrier Group, York International and Lennox, as well as to home centers, specialty retailers and national accounts. We maintain a competitive advantage in this business by offering the broadest range of products, providing industry-leading customer service and delivering customized products on short lead times. Our portfolio of brands is recognized as representing the highest quality products, and building architects and engineers often specify them by name in building designs. The non-residential construction end market represented 74% of Air Distribution’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while 26% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the residential construction end market. Within Air Distribution, 75% of Fiscal 2010 sales were into the new construction end market segment, while 25% of Fiscal 2010 sales were into the repair and refurbishment (“R&R”) end market segment, which includes all sales to home centers such as Home Depot and Lowes.

Bathware. We are a leading manufacturer of bathtubs and shower enclosures in the United States, accounting for approximately 30% of all fiberglass bathtubs sold in 2009. Our products are sold under the Aquatic brand name primarily through building products wholesalers, home center retailers and specialty distributors. Aquatic operates manufacturing plants and distribution warehouses across the United States, providing national distribution capabilities. The residential end market accounted for 96% of Bathware’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while the remaining 4% of Bathware’s Fiscal 2010 sales comprised sales to the manufactured housing industry.

Our End Markets

We operate a portfolio of global, market-leading businesses that manufacture and sell branded products for the industrial OEM and replacement, automotive OEM, automotive aftermarket, non-residential construction and residential construction end markets. Each end market has unique characteristics and drivers that contribute to our overall revenue diversification, stability and provide broad exposure to general economic growth. We expect that the cyclical nature of the industrial and automotive OEM end markets and the industrial aftermarket will benefit us to the extent there continues to be a recovery from recessionary lows. Additional end market demand characteristics that we believe we will continue to benefit from are: (i) the resilience, stability and higher-margin nature of the automotive aftermarket principally in North America and Europe and (ii) the continued secular growth in industrial and automotive OEM and replacement end markets in emerging markets globally. We also anticipate benefiting from the eventual recovery in the U.S. non-residential construction and residential construction end markets.

Industrial OEM & Replacement

We generated 32% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the global industrial OEM and replacement end markets. Our Power Transmission and Fluid Power segments operating under the Gates brand accounted for 76% of our Fiscal 2010 sales to the industrial OEM and replacement end markets. Our industrial belts are used in manufacturing equipment, commercial vehicles, agricultural and construction equipment as well as a broad range of consumer and industrial products and applications. Our industrial fluid power products are used within hydraulic systems, for example, on construction equipment and to transfer and convey fluids, as well as food, water, steam, oil, chemicals, gas and air and serve the general industrial, construction, agriculture, oil and gas, marine and mining industries.

We believe the demand for our products in the industrial OEM and replacement end markets will continue to be driven by (i) the level of industrial production and capacity utilization, both of which still remain below long-term averages in North America and Europe, (ii) the level of durable goods orders and operating expenditures related to consumable items used in industrial production, (iii) the level of construction activity which drives demand for construction equipment that utilize our products, (iv) the level of global commodity prices that impact demand and utilization of equipment in a number of our end market segments including agriculture and oil and gas and (v) continued emerging market growth and infrastructure build.

Automotive OEM

We generated 25% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from supplying the global automotive OEM end market. Our Power Transmission segment operating under the Gates brand accounted for 73% of our Fiscal 2010 sales for this end market. The demand in this end market is directly related to global vehicle production. According to IHS/CSM, from 2000 through 2010, annual light vehicle production averaged 14.6 million units in North America and 19.5 million units in Europe. Current automotive industry conditions in North America and Europe have demonstrated early signs of recovery, though are still significantly below long-run averages. In 2010, North American production recovered to 11.9 million units from 8.6 million units the year before. In Europe, production increased by 13%, rising from 16.3 million units in 2009 to 18.5 million units in 2010. Approximately 11% of our automotive OEM sales are derived from the Chinese market where production grew at an annualized growth rate of 24% between 2004 and 2010. IHS/CSM forecasts 2011 to 2015 annualized light vehicle production growth of 6% globally, with 5% in North America, 5% in Europe and 7% in China. Evolving consumer preferences and recent regulations have made fuel economy and safety systems a growth area for automotive OEM suppliers, which we believe will benefit our business. Many of the products that we sell to the automotive OEM end market have been shown to improve safety and fuel economy, which positions us well to benefit from the trend toward safer, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

We believe the demand for our products in the automotive OEM end market will continue to be driven by (i) the level of global vehicle production, (ii) our ability to secure positions on new vehicle platforms relative to our competitors and (iii) evolving regulatory requirements related to fuel economy and safety.

Automotive Aftermarket

We generated 21% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the automotive aftermarket primarily through our Gates products. Though the automotive aftermarket is influenced by fuel prices and consumer confidence, it is typically resilient during economic downturns. This resilience is a result of the stable underlying demand for replacement products, which is more influenced by non-discretionary maintenance and repair needs than it is by economic factors. For example, according to IHS/CSM, U.S. light vehicle production fell 34% in 2009 compared with the prior year, whereas, according to AAIA, aggregate U.S. automotive aftermarket sales declined only 2% during 2009 compared with the prior year. The U.S. light vehicle aftermarket represented $207 billion in aggregate sales in 2009 and is expected to reach over $230 billion by 2012, a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 4%, according to AAIA estimates. Global vehicle production is also an aftermarket revenue growth driver as it adds to the aggregate global vehicle population. JD Power estimates that the world’s total vehicle population in 2009 was 1.0 billion and expects it to grow at a CAGR of 3% from 2009 through 2015. In particular, JD Power expects that total vehicle population in emerging markets will continue to grow significantly during that period, with CAGRs of 14% in China and 10% in India, which should aid the development of the still nascent automotive aftermarket in those countries.

We believe that the demand for our products in the automotive aftermarket will continue to be driven by: (i) the size of the global vehicle population, which increases by the level of annual new vehicle production less the annual scrap rate, (ii) the average age of the global vehicle population as older vehicles typically require greater maintenance and repair and (iii) annual miles driven which correlates to the rate of vehicle wear and consequently demand for aftermarket products.

Non-Residential Construction

We generated 13% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the non-residential construction end market, primarily from our Air Distribution segment. U.S. non-residential construction activity has been in decline since 2008, and, according to Dodge, in 2010, U.S. non-residential construction starts totaled 635 million square feet as compared with an average of 1.2 billion square feet over the 2006 to 2010 time period. McGraw-Hill is forecasting that the market will continue to stabilize in 2011 followed by more rapid growth in 2012 and 2013. Within our Air Distribution business group, approximately 25% of our Fiscal 2010 sales were derived from R&R activities. We believe this will be a growth area given the increasing global drive to reduce energy consumption in buildings, which many of our products achieve. Globally, buildings use approximately one-third of the world’s energy, 25% of which is attributable to buildings’ air distribution systems. Our energy efficient air distribution products can help reduce energy consumption in this area.

We believe that demand in the non-residential construction end market, which is inherently local in nature, will be driven by underlying dynamics including: (i) local office vacancy rates, which are tied to employment levels, (ii) the availability of financing for new construction projects, (iii) public and private spending on healthcare, education and other social services and (iv) trends in the development of new urban areas and the re-development of existing urban areas.

Residential Construction

We generated 7% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the residential construction end market, including the R&R end market segment. The U.S. residential construction end market has been weak throughout 2010 and early 2011, with seasonally adjusted annualized housing starts standing at 549,000 at the end of March 2011, compared with the total housing starts in 2010 of 587,000 units and the historical average housing start rate between 1980 and 2010 of 1.4 million units (as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau Housing Starts). According to the NAHB, housing starts are expected to recover to approximately 900,000 units by 2012 as long-term demographic factors and an expected economic recovery lead to absorption of the current excess housing supply. However, despite signs of recent stabilization and the long-term positive outlook for new residential construction, recent housing starts data suggests that near-term demand will continue to be restrained. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, R&R spending has declined 23% since 2006, and we expect it to resume growth as consumer confidence and unemployment improve.

We believe that demand in the new residential construction end market segment will continue to be driven by: (i) consumer confidence and employment levels, (ii) availability of financing along with interest rate stability, (iii) on-going population growth and relocation trends and (iv) the level of existing home sales which impacts housing inventory levels as well as the level of R&R activity.

Our Competitive Strengths

Industry Leading Businesses with Premier Brands. We believe that we hold the number one market position in businesses that comprise approximately 80% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. We have achieved this leadership position by offering high quality products, industry-leading product portfolios that typically consist of tens of thousands of SKUs and superior customer service and field sales support, all of which drive brand loyalty and secure our long-standing brand reputations and customer relationships. The strength of our brands has been highlighted by our demonstrated ability to pass through or adjust prices for changes in input costs, and in certain markets to charge a premium price relative to our competitors. Our principal brands include the following:

 

   

Gates is the world’s largest manufacturer of power transmission belts and a leader in hydraulic and industrial hoses and couplings. The Gates brand has existed since 1917 and is globally synonymous with premium quality, reliability and customer service. Gates has approximately a 30% share of the overall automotive aftermarket for power transmission and fluid power products in North America. In its target market, which is the “do-it-for-me” traditional and retail, light vehicle automotive aftermarket in North America, Gates has a 40% share. In Europe, we estimate that Gates has approximately a 65% share of the synchronous belt market and approximately a 35% share of the accessory drive belt market.

 

   

ASC, Ruskin and Hart & Cooley are three of the leading manufacturers of air distribution products in North America. Each of our primary Air Distribution brands maintains a share in excess of 30% of their respective product categories, and ASC, through several brands, has a share in excess of 50% of the market for commercial GRDs in the United States.

 

   

Schrader is the world leader in TPMS for passenger vehicles with a global market share of approximately 50%.

 

   

Dexter is North America’s leading manufacturer of axles used in specialty utility, industrial and recreational trailers, which are typically made-to-order, with a U.S. market share in excess of 50% for those products.

 

   

Ideal is the leading gear clamp manufacturer with a market share in the United States of approximately 60%.

 

   

Aquatic is the leading producer of value-oriented fiberglass bathtubs, accounting for approximately 30% of all fiberglass bathtubs sold in 2009 in the United States.

Diversified Revenue and Earnings Base. We benefit from serving a diverse group of end markets and customers across the globe. This diversity helps mitigate the impact of any individual decline in any one end market during a given year. Approximately 38% of our Fiscal 2010 sales were generated from the global industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket, where we achieve higher margins. Our industrial replacement business provides us with exposure to a broad range of industrial end market segments that have an ongoing need for replacement parts. Our customer base consists of many of the world’s leading companies in their respective end markets, and it is broad and distinct across our segments, with no single customer representing more than 7% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. We generate revenue in most developed countries across the globe, and our emerging market presence has grown rapidly to now represent approximately 22% of our Fiscal 2010 I&A sales.

Broad Product Offering of Highly Engineered and Critical Components. Our broad product portfolio consists of tens of thousands of SKUs, which allows us to provide our customers with a comprehensive range of products. Most of our products are highly engineered components that perform critical functions within larger and more expensive systems, including industrial machinery, automotive engines and commercial HVAC applications.

Table of Contents

The prices of our products are low relative to the potential cost of their failure within the critical systems in which they are used. Our engineering and new product development capabilities have contributed to our reputation as an innovator, solidifying our leadership position across our product categories. Additionally, our extensive product portfolio, strong brand reputation, intellectual property, knowledge and expertise applied across our broad range of SKUs, make us a valued partner to our customers and increases their reluctance to switch suppliers. Working with our customers to design and develop solutions tailored to their individual specifications is a valuable service that we provide, which further decreases their propensity to switch suppliers.

Long-Standing Customer and Distributor Relationships. We have cultivated long-standing customer relationships due to our strong brand reputation, consistent ability to meet product availability requirements, superior customer service and best-in-class quality. Some of our relationships with our largest customers span over 50 years. Our relationships with our top 20 customers have existed for more than 35 years on average. We believe we have cultivated relationships with an estimated 75% of the U.S. and European wholesale distributors to the automotive aftermarket, and are a key supplier to three of the largest North American distributors and retailers, NAPA, O’Reilly Auto Parts (both more than 50 years) and CARQUEST (approximately 45 years). In Europe, we have long-standing customer relationships with the leading automotive aftermarket distributors in each of Germany, France and the U.K. We maintain relationships with the largest global industrial replacement distributors, including Motion Industries (approximately 45 years) and Kaman (approximately 40 years). We have also cultivated exclusive relationships with over 100 leading distributors in the North American non-residential and residential construction end markets and maintain thousands of relationships for broad market coverage. Our extensive distribution network, comprehensive product portfolio and made-to-order components make it difficult for smaller domestic and emerging market competitors to penetrate our end markets.

Low-Cost Manufacturing and Global Engineering Footprint. Many of our manufacturing facilities are located in low-cost, emerging markets, including China, Mexico, Brazil, India, Eastern Europe and Turkey. We have substantially rebased our manufacturing footprint towards lower cost, higher growth regions, as we have opened, among other things, three new facilities in China, India and Turkey, while closing approximately 30% of our North American and European facilities in 2008 and 2009. As a result, we are positioned to realize continued margin growth as our end markets recover. We have already realized some of this margin expansion with the ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 570 basis points (“bps”) between the first half of 2009 and Fiscal 2010. Continued international expansion allows us to conduct our engineering and manufacturing activities close to our customers across the globe, as well as to develop new relationships and to benefit from the higher growth rates in emerging markets.

Strong Margins and Free Cash Flow Generation. Our operating model generates strong profit margins and stable cash flows. In Fiscal 2010 we achieved an ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.1%, compared with 11.1% in Fiscal 2009 and 12.0% in Fiscal 2008. We achieved this improvement in part through our two broad plant rationalization programs that were largely completed in 2008 and 2009, which we refer to as projects Eagle and Cheetah. Under these initiatives we closed more than 30 loss-making, redundant and underperforming facilities in North America and Western Europe and exited low-margin and unprofitable automotive OEM businesses, which were capital intensive, as well as unprofitable Building Products businesses. After significant investments in lower cost regions, we currently have relatively lower capital expenditure requirements than we did in the past, which we expect to continue even if the end market recovery accelerates.

Experienced and Proven Management Team. We are led by an experienced management team that implemented a successful and significant restructuring program and reshaped our business portfolio through an extensive divestiture and rationalization program. Our management team is led by Jim Nicol who joined Tomkins in 2002 as CEO. Under his leadership, we have:

 

   

Executed projects Eagle and Cheetah, which we estimate will generate approximately $150 million in annual savings from 2011 onwards.

 

   

Divested or closed 26 non-core lower margin and commodity businesses to focus on higher margin, less capital intensive businesses.

Established a portfolio of industry-leading industrial, automotive and building product businesses.

 

   

Improved the ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin by 310 bps in Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2008, despite sales being approximately 18% below the pre-restructuring levels of Fiscal 2007.

 

   

Embedded a culture of pay for performance throughout our organization.

Our Business Strategy

Leverage the Gates Brand. We will continue to leverage our Gates brand and footprint, which is globally recognized by our customers as the highest quality power transmission belt brand and a leader in the fluid power market. We aim to enhance Gates’ strong reputation for superior quality, reliability and customer service by growing our service and distribution capabilities in the global industrial OEM and replacement end market and automotive aftermarket. We will also continue to invest in: (i) product development, such as our polyaramid-reinforced belts for motorcycles, carbon cord polychain belts, molded fabric belts used in high torque engines, belt boxes within wind turbines, ocean wave power generation systems and oil and gas applications and (ii) service capabilities, such as installing, monitoring, refurbishing and advising on system design for hydraulic applications in the oil and gas, marine and mining end market segments.

Utilize Global Presence and Brand Strength to Further Penetrate Emerging Markets. We continue to expand our market share in emerging markets such as China, Brazil, India and Eastern Europe, and our sales to emerging markets have grown from approximately 10% of I&A sales in 2004 to approximately 22% in Fiscal 2010. Gates has established and maintained a sales and manufacturing presence in both China and India since 1995. We have authorized distributors in almost all of China’s provinces, that have a total of over 130 retail stores across the country. We have recently completed new facilities to serve these markets, including our Fluid Power plant in Changzhou, China, which became operational in early 2010 and is the largest fluid power facility in our portfolio. We have also expanded our operations in India, Eastern Europe and Turkey, where we believe the recent high growth of light vehicle sales and industrial activity are expected to continue in the future. The automotive aftermarket opportunity in many of these emerging markets remains in its early stages as the average age of vehicles in these markets is currently lower than the age range that generates the most aftermarket activity, which is approximately five to ten years. Additionally, industrial activity is expected to increase with economic growth, which drives the industrial OEM and replacement end markets. We believe that exposure to these geographies will continue to drive our growth as automotive production increases, the aftermarket develops and general infrastructure and economic growth continues to expand at attractive rates.

Capitalize on Demand for Energy Efficient Products. We believe that we were among the first manufacturers to identify the growing environmentally-focused product trends in our industries and end markets. We continue to engineer products to enhance their energy and fuel efficiency. Such products include synchronous timing belts for micro-hybrid systems, TPMS and variable vane oil pumps in our I&A businesses and energy recovery ventilators in our BP business. Demand for the advanced technology content integrated into these products continues to grow. In addition, a number of new regulatory guidelines in North America have emerged to promote energy efficient products in new non-residential and residential construction.

Further Enhance Margins and Free Cash Flow Generation. We will continue to develop product offerings across our businesses that contain proprietary technology and leverage our strong brands resulting in an ability to offer premium products and generate attractive margins. In response to a difficult economic climate, we have also reduced our fixed cost base. In 2008 and 2009, we substantially completed all of our comprehensive restructuring initiatives (projects Eagle and Cheetah), closing over 30 facilities and reducing headcount under these initiatives by 7,800. We anticipate reaching the full run-rate savings of $150 million during 2011. Our continual performance improvement initiatives within our plants is expected to enhance our margins further. We also believe our available manufacturing capacity and existing geographical plant footprint is sufficient to support significant increases in volume, which will result in positive operating leverage as the economy recovers. Additionally, many of our more capital-intensive operations, including several of our low-margin, more commodity-oriented automotive OEM businesses, have been divested over the past few years as part of a full-scale management initiative to focus on higher margin, lower capital intensity businesses.

Target Opportunities for Which There is a Significant Replacement Market. We will continue to develop our technology to manufacture market-leading products and then follow with aftermarket sales and support using such technology. This strategy has been successful across the Gates brand where products were customized for use in systems designed by OEMs then sold directly to the aftermarket to satisfy replacement needs. We have taken a similar approach in other areas such as Schrader with TPMS. We believe the aftermarket will continue to develop following the regulation-induced OEM adoption of the technology in the United States and Europe. R&R activities, which are becoming a growing revenue driver in our BP business group, accounted for 25% of Air Distribution’s Fiscal 2010 sales.

Capitalize on Eventual Cyclical End Market Recovery. Although all of our end markets were impacted by the recent global economic recession to varying degrees, we believe many of our end markets have troughed and are experiencing varying degrees of recovery, with ongoing sales up 17% in Fiscal 2010 over Fiscal 2009, driven by increased demand throughout our global industrial and automotive end markets, as well as some amount of inventory re-stocking at our customers.

Continue to Evaluate Strategic Opportunities. We will continue to evaluate our portfolio on a strategic basis and seek to expand our presence in emerging markets. We may also consider divesting non-core businesses that may be less strategic in order to accelerate the deleveraging of our balance sheet.

Table of Contents
   

we drew down on the term loan portion of our senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a senior secured Term Loan A facility of $300.0 million; (ii) a senior secured Term Loan B facility of $1,700.0 million and (iii) a senior secured revolving credit facility of $300.0 million (no amounts were initially drawn) (collectively, our “senior secured credit facilities”);

 

   

we received the net proceeds from the sale of the initial notes;

 

   

we commenced a tender offer for Tomkins’ 8% medium term notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and Tomkins Finance plc’s 6.125% medium term notes due 2015 (the “2015 Notes” and together with the 2011 Notes, the “medium term notes”);

 

   

on the effective date of the Scheme, each ordinary share in the capital of Tomkins held by shareholders of Tomkins (except those shares held by shareholders of Tomkins who validly elected to receive loan notes in respect of some or all of their shares) were automatically cancelled and shareholders received 325 pence for each ordinary share held prior to cancellation, and upon cancellation of such shares, ordinary shares of $0.09 each in the capital of Tomkins (which have an aggregate nominal value equal to the aggregate nominal value of the cancelled shares) were issued to Tomkins Acquisitions; and

 

   

those shares held by shareholders of Tomkins who validly elected to receive loan notes in respect of some or all of their shares were transferred to Tomkins Acquisitions, and such shareholders received loan notes with a nominal value of £1.00 per loan note on the basis of £1.00 worth of loan notes for every £1.00 of cash consideration that would otherwise be payable to such shareholder.

We refer to the Scheme, the Acquisition, the equity contribution, the borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, the initial notes, the tender for the medium term notes and the other transactions described above as the “Transactions.” Subsequent to the completion of the Transactions, on November 19, 2010, we informed the medium term noteholders that a ratings downgrade had occurred, and certain holders of the medium term notes put their medium term notes to us. On December 30, 2010, we made a further offer to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.00% (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £4.9 million of the 2011 Notes. Settlement took place on January 19, 2011. On February 11, 2011, we agreed with the providers of the senior secured credit facilities to a re-pricing of Term Loan A and term loan B and amendments to certain of the covenants and other provisions of the senior secured credit facilities. The re-pricing became effective on February 17, 2011 and attracted a one-off premium payment by us of $16.8 million.

The Exchange Offer    Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc. (together, the “issuers”) are offering to exchange up to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018, which have been registered under the Securities Act (the “exchange notes”), for any and all outstanding initial notes. The term “notes” refers to both the initial notes and the exchange notes.
  

To exchange your initial notes, you must properly tender them, and the issuers must accept them. You may tender outstanding initial notes only in denominations of the principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The issuers will exchange all initial notes that you validly tender and do not validly withdraw prior to the withdrawal of the exchange offer. The issuers will issue registered exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

 

The form and terms of the exchange notes will be substantially identical to those of the initial notes except that the exchange notes will have been registered under the Securities Act. Therefore, the exchange notes will not be subject to certain contractual transfer restrictions, registration rights and certain additional interest provisions applicable to the initial notes prior to consummation of the exchange offer.

 

Upon completion of the exchange offer, there may not be a market for the initial notes and you may have difficulty selling them.

Resale of Exchange notes    We believe that, if you are not a broker-dealer, you may offer exchange notes (together with the guarantees thereof) for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the exchange notes (and the related guarantees) without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you:
         acquired the exchange notes in the ordinary course of business;
         are not engaged in, do not intend to engage in and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a “distribution” (as defined under the Securities Act) of the exchange notes; and
         are not an “affiliate” (as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act) of the issuers or any guarantor.

Table of Contents
   If any of these conditions are not satisfied, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. Our belief that transfers of exchange notes would be permitted without registration or prospectus delivery under the conditions described above is based on the interpretations of the SEC given to other, unrelated issuers in transactions similar to the exchange offer. We cannot assure you that the SEC would take the same position with respect to the exchange offer.
Broker-Dealers    Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes, where the initial notes were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. However, by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”
Expiration Date    The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2011, unless we extend it.
Withdrawal    You may withdraw your tender of initial notes under the exchange offer at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. We will return to you any of your initial notes that are not accepted for any reason for exchange, without expense to you, promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. Any withdrawal must be in accordance with the procedures described in “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights.”
Conditions to the Exchange Offer    The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions which we may assert or waive. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of initial notes being tendered for exchange. See “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”
Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes    Each holder of initial notes that wishes to tender initial notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer must, before the exchange offer expires, either:
         transmit a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal, including the initial notes, to the exchange agent; or
         if initial notes are tendered in accordance with book-entry procedures, arrange with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), to cause to be transmitted to the exchange agent an agent’s message indicating, among other things, the holder’s agreement to be bound by the letter of transmittal,
   or comply with the procedures described below under “— Guaranteed Delivery.”

 

14


Table of Contents
   A holder of initial notes that tenders initial notes in the exchange offer must represent, among other things, that:
         the holder is not an “affiliate” of the issuers or any guarantor as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act;
         the holder is acquiring the exchange notes in its ordinary course of business;
         the holder is not engaged in, does not intend to engage in and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes within the meaning of the Securities Act;
         if the holder is a broker-dealer that will receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes that were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities, then the holder will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes; and
         the holder is not acting on behalf of any person who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.
   Do not send letters of transmittal, certificates representing initial notes or other documents to us or DTC. Send these documents only to the exchange agent at the address given in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.
Special Procedures for Tenders by Beneficial Owners of Initial Notes    If:
         you beneficially own initial notes;
         those initial notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or custodian; and
         you wish to tender your initial notes in the exchange offer,
   you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct it to tender the initial notes on your behalf and comply with the instructions set forth in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal.
Guaranteed Delivery    If you hold initial notes in certificated form or if you own initial notes in the form of a book-entry interest in a global note deposited with the trustee, as custodian for DTC, and you wish to tender those initial notes but
         the certificates for your initial notes are not immediately available or all required documents are unlikely to reach the exchange agent before the exchange offer expires; or
         you cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer prior to the expiration date,

Table of Contents
   you may tender your initial notes in accordance with the procedures described in “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”
Consequences of Not Exchanging Initial Notes    If you do not tender your initial notes or we reject your tender, your initial notes will remain outstanding and will continue to be subject to the provisions in the indenture regarding the transfer and exchange of the initial notes and the existing restrictions on transfer set forth in the legends on the initial notes. In general, the initial notes may not be offered or sold unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Holders of initial notes will not be entitled to any further registration rights under the registration rights agreement.
   You do not have any appraisal or dissenters’ rights in connection with the exchange offer.
   To the extent that initial notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for initial notes that remain outstanding after the exchange offer could be adversely affected.
Registration Rights Agreement    You are entitled to exchange your initial notes for exchange notes with substantially identical terms. This exchange offer satisfies this right. After the exchange offer is completed, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights with respect to your initial notes.
Certain Tax Considerations    Your exchange of initial notes for exchange notes will not be treated as a taxable exchange for United States income tax purposes.
Use of Proceeds    We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer.
Acceptance of Initial Notes and Delivery of Exchange notes    Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept for exchange any and all initial notes properly tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer. We will complete the exchange offer and issue the exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.
Exchange Agent    Wilmington Trust FSB is serving as exchange agent for the exchange offer. The address and the facsimile and telephone numbers of the exchange agent are provided in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent” and in the letter of transmittal.

THE EXCHANGE NOTES

The exchange offer applies to the $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018. The form and the terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and the terms of the initial notes except that the exchange notes:

 

   

will have been registered under the Securities Act;

 

   

will not be subject to restrictions on transfer under the Securities Act; and

 

   

will not be entitled to the specified rights under the registration rights agreement, including the provisions providing for registration rights and the payment of additional interest in specified circumstances.

The exchange notes evidence the same debt as the initial notes exchanged for the exchange notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the same indenture under which the initial notes were issued, which are governed by New York law. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes.”

 

Issuers    Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc.
Securities Offered    $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018.
Maturity Date    October 1, 2018
Interest    9% per annum
Interest Payment Dates    April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2011
Guarantees   

The exchange notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a second priority senior secured basis by Holdings and certain of its subsidiaries (other than the issuers), subject to certain exceptions. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Note Guarantees.”

 

The non-guarantor subsidiaries and any future non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the exchange notes, or to make any funds available therefor, whether by dividends, loans, distribution or other payments. The non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for the following proportion of our ongoing operations: (i) 41% of pro forma sales in Fiscal 2010 and of sales in Q1 2011; (ii) 47% of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2010 and 49% of Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2011; (iii) 45% of total assets at the end of Fiscal 2010 and at the end of Q1 2011; and (iv) 14% of total liabilities at the end of Fiscal 2010 and at the end of Q1 2011. Both (i) and (ii) are calculated excluding corporate center entities. In the event that Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act would require separate financial statements of any subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be filed with the SEC solely because such subsidiary’s guarantee is not a full and unconditional guarantee as reasonably determined by Holdings such guarantee will be automatically discharged and release. In the case of such discharge and release,

 

17


Table of Contents
   the exchange notes would no longer be guaranteed by such entity even though the guarantee by such entity of our senior secured credit facilities would continue.
Collateral   

The exchange notes will be secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the assets of the issuers and Guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, permitted liens and the terms of the second lien intercreditor agreement described below.

 

The security supporting the exchange notes may be reduced in certain instances without a comparable reduction in the security supporting the senior secured credit facilities. You should read “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Security for the Notes” for a more complete description of the security granted to the holders of the exchange notes.

Intercreditor Agreement    The liens securing the exchange notes are subordinated to those securing our senior secured credit facilities and subject to the terms of the second lien intercreditor agreement. The terms of such intercreditor agreement are set forth under “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Security for the Notes.”
Optional Redemption   

On or after October 1, 2014, the issuers may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at any time at the redemption prices described in the section “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Optional Redemption.” Prior to October 1, 2014, the issuers may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the exchange notes redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date plus the “applicable premium.”

 

Additionally, on or prior to October 1, 2013, the issuers may redeem (i) up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes with the net proceeds of specified equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Optional Redemption” and (ii) no more than once in any twelve-month period, up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes at a price equal to 103% of the principal amount thereof, in each case, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date.

Change of Control    If a change of control occurs, the issuers must give holders of the exchange notes an opportunity to sell to them their exchange notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such exchange notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase. The term “Change of Control” is defined under “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Change of Control.”
Ranking    The exchange notes and guarantees will constitute the issuers’ and the Guarantors’ senior secured debt. Subject to the contractual arrangements described above under “Collateral” and “Intercreditor Agreement,” they will rank:
      effectively senior in right of payment with all of the issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured debt to the extent of the collateral securing the exchange notes;

 

18


Table of Contents
      senior to all of the issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt;
      effectively subordinated to all of the issuers’ and the Guarantors’ first priority secured debt, including the borrowings under the issuers’ senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the collateral securing such debt.
Restrictive Covenants    The indenture governing the exchange notes will contain covenants that limit the ability of the issuers and certain of their subsidiaries’ ability to:
      incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;
      issue qualified stock and preferred stock;
      pay dividends and make other restricted payments;
      create or incur certain liens;
      make certain investments;
      engage in sales of assets and subsidiary stock; and
      transfer all or substantially all of the issuers’ assets or enter into merger or consolidation transactions.
No Public Market    The exchange notes are new securities and there is currently no established trading market for the exchange notes. The initial purchasers have advised us that they presently intend to make a market in the exchange notes. However, you should be aware that they are not obligated to make a market in the exchange notes and may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. As a result, a liquid market for the exchange notes may not be available if you try to sell your exchange notes. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the exchange notes on any securities exchange or any automated dealer quotation system.
Use of Proceeds    We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. See “Use of Proceeds.”

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the exchange notes involves substantial risks. In evaluating whether to participate in the exchange offer, you should carefully consider, along with the other information provided to you in this prospectus, these risk factors. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us, or that we currently believe are immaterial, could also impair our business, financial condition, results of operations and our ability to fulfill our obligations under the notes. Unless otherwise indicated, the risk factors set forth below generally apply to all our notes.

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and the cautionary statement regarding the forward-looking statements set forth under the caption “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer

If you fail to follow the exchange offer procedures, your initial notes will not be accepted for exchange.

We will not accept your initial notes for exchange if you do not follow the exchange offer procedures. We will issue exchange notes as part of this exchange offer only after timely receipt of your initial notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or if you comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures for tendering your initial notes. Therefore, if you want to tender your initial notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your initial notes, letter of transmittal, and all other required documents by the expiration date of the exchange offer, or you do not otherwise comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures for tendering your initial notes, we will not accept your initial notes for exchange. Neither we nor the exchange agent is required to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of initial notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of initial notes, we will not accept your initial notes for exchange unless we decide in our sole discretion to waive such defects or irregularities.

If you choose not to exchange your initial notes in the exchange offer, the transfer restrictions currently applicable to your initial notes will remain in force and the market price of your initial notes may decline.

If you do not exchange your initial notes for exchange notes representing the same underlying indebtedness in the exchange offer, then you will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions on the initial notes as set forth in the notes and the indenture that governs the notes. In general, the initial notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration right agreements, we do not intend to register resales of the initial notes under the Securities Act. You should refer to “Summary — The Exchange Offer,” and “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” for information about how to tender your initial notes.

The tender of initial notes under the exchange offer will reduce the principal amount of the initial notes outstanding, which may have an adverse effect upon and increase the volatility and market price of the initial notes due to reduction in liquidity.

Lack of an active market for the exchange notes may adversely affect the liquidity and market price of the exchange notes.

There is no existing market for the exchange notes. We do not intend to apply for a listing of the exchange notes on any securities exchange. We do not know if an active public market for the exchange notes will develop or, if developed, will continue. If an active public market does not develop or is not maintained, the market price and liquidity of the exchange notes may be adversely affected. We cannot make any assurances regarding the liquidity of the market for the exchange notes, the ability of holders to sell their exchange notes or the price at which holders may sell their exchange notes. Further, the liquidity and the market price of the exchange notes may be adversely

 

23


Table of Contents

affected by changes in the overall market for securities similar to the exchange notes, by changes in our business, financial condition or results of operations and by changes in conditions in our industry. In addition, if a large amount of initial notes are not tendered or are tendered improperly, the limited amount of exchange notes that would be issued and outstanding after we consummate the exchange offer could lower the market price of such exchange notes.

The market price for the exchange notes may be volatile.

Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the exchange notes offered hereby. The market for the exchange notes, if any, may be subject to similar disruptions and any such disruptions may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your exchange notes. In addition, once issued, the exchange notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance and other factors.

The issuance of the exchange notes may adversely affect the market for the initial notes.

To the extent the initial notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for the untendered and tendered but unaccepted initial notes could be adversely affected. Because we anticipate that most holders of the initial notes will elect to exchange their initial notes for exchange notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of exchange notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that the liquidity of the market for any initial notes remaining after the completion of this exchange offer may be substantially limited. Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Consequences of Failure to Exchange.”

Some persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the exchange notes.

Based on interpretations of the staff of the Commission contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under “Plan of Distribution,” you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your exchange notes. In these cases, if you transfer any exchange note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under this act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

Risks Relating to the Notes

We have substantial indebtedness, which could affect our ability to meet our obligations under the notes and may otherwise restrict our activities

As of April 2, 2011, we had total principal debt outstanding of $3,359.0 million. We are permitted by the terms of the notes and our other debt instruments to incur substantial additional indebtedness, subject to the restrictions therein. Our inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt obligations, or to refinance our obligations on commercially reasonable terms, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

 

   

make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, including the notes;

 

   

limit our ability to borrow money for our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other corporate purposes;

 

24


Table of Contents
   

require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our indebtedness, which would reduce the amount of cash flow available to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other corporate requirements;

 

   

increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

   

limit our ability to respond to business opportunities; and

 

   

subject us to financial and other restrictive covenants, which, if we fail to comply with these covenants and our failure is not waived or cured, could result in an event of default under our debt.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness that may not be successful.

Our ability to pay principal and interest on the notes and to satisfy our other debt obligations will depend upon, among other things:

 

   

our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, many of which are beyond our control; and

 

   

the future availability of borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, which depends on, among other things, our complying with the covenants in our senior secured credit facilities.

We cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our senior secured credit facilities or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to fund our liquidity needs, including the payment of principal and interest on the notes. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to service our indebtedness, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the notes. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. Our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. In addition, the terms of existing or future debt agreements, including our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes, may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions for fair market value or at all. Furthermore, any proceeds that we could realize from any such dispositions may not be adequate to meet our debt service obligations then due. Furthermore, the Sponsors have no continuing obligation to provide us with debt or equity financing.

The issuers are wholly owned financing subsidiaries of Holdings with no operations of their own and they are dependent upon payments under the intercompany loans from other subsidiaries of Holdings to meet their obligations under the notes.

The issuers are financing entities wholly owned by Holdings with limited assets and no business operations other than operations related to issuing and servicing the notes and engaging in related transactions. Upon the consummation of the initial notes offering, the issuers on-lent the proceeds from the notes issuance to other subsidiaries of Holdings through intercompany loans. The issuers’ ability to make payments on the notes is dependent directly on payments to the issuers under these intercompany loans. The ability of the obligors to make payments to the issuers under these intercompany loans will depend on a number of factors, some of which may be beyond our control. For example, if the obligors fail to generate or fail to have access to sufficient cash to make scheduled payments to the issuers under the intercompany loans, the issuers may not have any other source of funds to meet their payment obligations under the notes.

The notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries of Holdings.

The notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of the current and future subsidiaries of Holdings that do not guarantee the notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries and any future non-guarantor subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay any amounts due pursuant to the notes, or to make any funds available therefore, whether by dividends, loans, distribution or other payments. The non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for the following proportion of our ongoing operations: (i) 41% of pro forma sales in Fiscal 2010 and of sales in Q1 2011; (ii) 47% of pro forma Adjusted EBITDA in Fiscal 2010 and 49% of Adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2011; (iii) 45% of total assets at the end of Fiscal 2010 and at the end of Q1 2011; and (iv) 14% of total liabilities at the end of Fiscal 2010 and at the end of Q1 2011. Both (i) and (ii) are calculated excluding corporate center entities. In the event that Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act would require separate financial statements of any subsidiary that is a Guarantor to be filed with the SEC solely because such subsidiary’s guarantee is not a full and unconditional guarantee as reasonably determined by Holdings such guarantee will be automatically discharged and release. In the case of such discharge and release, the notes would no longer be guaranteed by such entity even though the guarantee by such entity of our senior secured credit facilities would continue. Substantially all, but not all, of our foreign entities that guarantee the senior secured credit facilities are expected to guarantee the notes. Any right that we or the Guarantors have to receive any assets of the non-guarantor subsidiaries and any future non-guarantor subsidiaries upon the liquidation or reorganization of those subsidiaries, and the consequent rights of holders of notes to realize proceeds from the sale of any of those subsidiaries’ assets, will be structurally subordinated to the claims of those subsidiaries’ creditors, including trade creditors and holders of preferred equity interests of those subsidiaries. Accordingly, in the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any non-guarantor subsidiaries and any future non-guarantor subsidiaries, such non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.

The terms of our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take certain actions.

The credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes contain, and any future indebtedness of ours would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that will impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us, including restrictions on our ability to, among other things:

 

   

incur or guarantee additional debt;

 

   

issue qualified stock and preferred stock;

 

   

pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

 

   

create or incur certain liens;

 

   

make certain investments;

 

   

engage in sales of assets and subsidiary stock;

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

   

transfer all or substantially all of our assets or enter into merger or consolidation transactions; and

 

   

make capital expenditures.

In addition, our senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain certain financial ratios. As a result of these covenants, we will be limited in the manner in which we conduct our business, and we may be unable to

 

26


Table of Contents

engage in favorable business activities or finance future operations or capital needs. Our ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events beyond our control, and there can be no assurance that we will meet those ratios. An adverse development affecting our business could require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants, alternative or additional sources of financing or reductions in expenditures. We cannot assure you that such waivers, amendments or alternative or additional financings could be obtained or, if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us.

A failure to comply with the covenants contained in our senior secured credit facilities or the indenture governing the notes could result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities or the indenture governing the notes, which, if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In the event of any default under our senior secured credit facilities or the indenture governing the notes, the lenders thereunder:

 

   

will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us;

 

   

could elect to declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, to be due and payable;

 

   

may have the ability to require us to apply all of our available cash to repay these borrowings; or

 

   

may prevent us from making debt service payments under our other agreements, any of which could result in an event of default under the notes.

Such actions by lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could cause cross defaults under our other indebtedness, including the indenture governing the notes.

We have pledged and will pledge substantially all of our assets as collateral under our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes subject to certain exceptions. If any of the holders of our indebtedness accelerate the repayment of such indebtedness, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the holders of our secured indebtedness could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. See “Description of Certain Indebtedness” and “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes.”

The collateral securing our obligations under the notes and the guarantees is shared with other creditors. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay the first priority lien creditors and the holders of the notes and guarantees. The collateral securing the notes may be divided under certain circumstances.

Our obligations under the notes and the guarantees related thereto will be secured by a second priority lien on all of the collateral securing our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities (subject to certain exceptions described in “—The capital stock securing the notes will in certain circumstances be released automatically from the respective liens and no longer be deemed to be collateral to the extent the pledge of such capital stock would require the filing of separate financial statements for any of our subsidiaries with the SEC,” and excluding certain assets as described in “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes”) on a second priority basis. The relative priority of the liens on the collateral will be governed by an intercreditor agreement. Accordingly, any proceeds received upon a realization of the collateral securing our senior secured credit facilities on a first priority basis will first be applied to the costs and expenses incurred with such realization and second to obligations (including expenses and other amounts) under our senior secured credit facilities, before any amounts will be available to pay the holders of notes. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Security for the Notes” and “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” The value of the collateral and the amount to be received upon a sale of such collateral will depend upon many factors including, among others, the ability to sell the collateral in an orderly sale, the condition of the economies in which our operations are located, the availability of buyers and other factors. The book value of the collateral should not be relied on as a measure of realizable value for such assets. Portions of the collateral may be illiquid and may have no readily ascertainable market value. The

 

27


Table of Contents

collateral is located in a number of countries, and the multi-jurisdictional nature of any foreclosure on the collateral may limit the realizable value of the collateral. To the extent that holders of other secured debt or third parties enjoy liens (including statutory liens), whether or not permitted by the indenture, such holders or third parties may have rights and remedies with respect to the collateral securing the notes and the guarantees that, if exercised, could reduce the proceeds available to satisfy the obligations under the notes and the guarantees. As a result, if there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay our senior secured credit facilities and the holders of the notes.

The value of the collateral securing the notes may not be sufficient to secure post-petition interest. Should our obligations under the notes equal or exceed the fair market value of the collateral securing the notes, the holders of the notes may be deemed to have an unsecured claim.

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization or similar proceeding against the issuers or the Guarantors, holders of the notes will be entitled to post-petition interest under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code only if the value of their security interest in the collateral is greater than their pre-bankruptcy claim. Holders of the notes may be deemed to have an unsecured claim if the issuers’ obligation under the notes equals or exceeds the fair market value of the collateral securing the notes. Holders of the notes that have a security interest in the collateral with a value equal to or less than their pre-bankruptcy claim will not be entitled to post-petition interest under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy trustee, the debtor-in-possession or competing creditors could possibly assert that the fair market value of the collateral with respect to the notes on the date of the bankruptcy filing was less than the then-current principal amount of the notes. Upon a finding by a bankruptcy court that the notes are under-collateralized, the claims in the bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the notes would be bifurcated between a secured claim and an unsecured claim, and the unsecured claim would not be entitled to the benefits of security in the collateral. Other consequences of a finding of under-collateralization would be, among other things, a lack of entitlement on the part of holders of the notes to receive post-petition interest and a lack of entitlement on the part of the unsecured portion of the notes to receive other “adequate protection” under U.S. federal bankruptcy laws. In addition, if any payments of post-petition interest were made at the time of such a finding of under-collateralization, such payments could be re-characterized by the bankruptcy court as a reduction of the principal amount of the secured claim with respect to notes. No appraisal of the fair market value of the collateral securing the notes has been prepared in connection with this offering of the notes and, therefore, the value of the collateral trustees’ interests in the collateral may not equal or exceed the principal amount of the notes. We cannot assure you that there will be sufficient collateral to satisfy our and the Guarantors’ obligations under the notes.

The right of holders of notes to exercise remedies with respect to the collateral is extremely limited, even during an event of default under the indenture governing the notes.

The rights of the holders of notes with respect to the collateral are extremely limited, even during an event of default under the indenture governing the notes. If first priority obligations are outstanding, any actions that may be taken in respect of any of the collateral securing the notes, including the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral and to control the conduct of such proceedings, are controlled and directed by holders of our first lien debt. In those circumstances, the notes collateral agent, on behalf of the itself, the trustee and the holders of the notes, will not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if an event of default under the indenture governing the notes has occurred or if the rights of the trustee, the notes collateral agent and the holders of the notes are or may be adversely affected. The administrative agent and the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities are under no obligation to take into account the interests of the trustee under the indenture governing the notes, the collateral agent and the holders of the notes when determining whether and how to exercise their rights with respect to the collateral securing our senior secured credit facilities on a first priority basis, subject to the applicable intercreditor agreements, and their interests and rights may be significantly different from or adverse to yours. To the extent that collateral is released from the first priority liens, subject to certain conditions the second priority liens securing the notes and the guarantees related thereto will also automatically be released without any noteholder consent or notice to the collateral agent, except that such release of liens does not apply with respect to the release of collateral in connection with the full payment of our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities or a refinancing of our obligations thereunder. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Security for the Notes— Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement” and “Description of Second Lien Notes—Security for the Notes—Release of Collateral.”

Table of Contents

In the event of our bankruptcy, the ability of the holders of the notes to realize upon the collateral will be subject to certain bankruptcy law limitations.

The ability of holders of the notes to realize upon the collateral will be subject to certain bankruptcy law limitations in the event of our bankruptcy. Under federal bankruptcy law, secured creditors are prohibited from repossessing their security from a debtor in a bankruptcy case, or from disposing of security repossessed from such a debtor, without bankruptcy court approval, which may not be given. Moreover, applicable federal bankruptcy laws generally permit the debtor to continue to use and expend collateral, including cash collateral, and to provide liens senior to the collateral trustees for the notes’ liens to secure indebtedness incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy case, provided that the secured creditor either consents or is given “adequate protection.” “Adequate protection” could include cash payments or the granting of additional security, if and at such times as the presiding court in its discretion determines, for any diminution in the value of the collateral as a result of the stay of repossession or disposition of the collateral during the pendency of the bankruptcy case, the use of collateral (including cash collateral) and the incurrence of such senior indebtedness. In view of the broad discretionary powers of a bankruptcy court, it is impossible to predict how long payments under the notes could be delayed following commencement of a bankruptcy case, whether or when the collateral trustees would repossess or dispose of the collateral, or whether or to what extent holders of the notes would be compensated for any delay in payment of loss of value of the collateral through the requirements of “adequate protection.” Furthermore, in the event the bankruptcy court determines that the value of the collateral is not sufficient to repay all amounts due on the notes, our first priority credit facility and any other first lien or pari passu debt secured by the common collateral, the indebtedness under the notes would be “undersecured” and the holders of the notes would have unsecured claims as to the difference. Federal bankruptcy laws do not permit the payment or accrual of interest, costs, and attorneys’ fees on undersecured indebtedness during the debtor’s bankruptcy case.

Your rights in the collateral may be adversely affected by the failure to perfect security interests in collateral.

Applicable law provides that a security interest in certain tangible and intangible assets can only be properly perfected and its priority retained through certain actions undertaken by the secured party. The liens in the collateral securing the notes may not be perfected with respect to the claims of the notes if the collateral agent relating to such notes is not able to take the actions necessary to perfect any of these liens on or about the date of the indenture governing such notes. In addition, applicable law provides that certain property and rights acquired after the grant of a general security interest, such as real property, equipment subject to a certificate of title and certain proceeds, can only be perfected at or after the time such property and rights are acquired and identified. We and our Guarantors have limited obligations to perfect the noteholders’ security interest in specified collateral. There can be no assurance that the collateral agent for the notes will monitor, or that we will inform the trustee of, the future acquisition of property and rights that constitute collateral, and that the necessary action will be taken to properly perfect the security interest in such after-acquired collateral. The collateral agent for the notes have no obligation to monitor the acquisition of additional property or rights that constitute collateral or the perfection of any security interest. Such failure may result in the loss of the security interest in the collateral or the priority of the security interest in favor of the notes against third parties.

The capital stock securing the notes will in certain circumstances be released automatically from the respective liens and no longer be deemed to be collateral to the extent the pledge of such capital stock would require the filing of separate financial statements for any of our subsidiaries with the SEC.

The indenture governing the notes and the security documents provide that, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (or any successor regulation) requires the filing with the SEC of separate financial statements of any of our subsidiaries the capital stock of which is pledged as collateral securing the notes, the portion (or, if necessary, all) of such capital stock necessary to eliminate such filing requirement will automatically be deemed released and not to have been part of the collateral securing the notes. In such event, we and the trustee will amend or modify the security documents without the consent of any holder of the notes to the extent necessary to evidence such release. As a result, holders of the notes could lose all or a portion of their security interest in the capital stock. The capital stock pledged as collateral under the senior secured credit facilities is not subject to a similar provision and any capital stock pledged as collateral under any of our future indebtedness may not be subject to a similar provision.

Table of Contents

The Rule 3-16 requirement to file with the SEC separate financial statements of a subsidiary is triggered if the aggregate principal amount, par value, or book value of the capital stock as carried by the registrant, or the market value of such capital stock, whichever is greatest, equals 20 percent or more of the principal amount of the notes. Any pledge of the capital stock of any of our subsidiaries is automatically released to the extent the value of the capital stock of any individual subsidiary subject to the pledge is in excess of 20 percent of the principal amount of the applicable notes. Any increase in value of the capital stock of our subsidiaries may lead to further releases of capital stock from the collateral securing the notes. Moreover, the realizable value of the capital stock in the event of a foreclosure may be significantly less than the management estimates of market value.

Corporate benefit, capital maintenance laws and other limitations on the guarantees and the security interests may adversely affect the validity and enforceability of the guarantees of the notes and the security interests.

The laws of certain of the jurisdictions in which the Guarantors are organized limit the ability of these subsidiaries to guarantee debt of a related company or grant security on account of a related company’s debts. These limitations arise under various provisions or principles of corporate law which include rules governing capital maintenance, under which, among others, the risks associated with a guarantee or grant of security on account of a parent company’s debt need to be reasonable and economically and operationally justified from the Guarantor’s or grantor’s perspective, as well as thin capitalization and fraudulent transfer principles. If these limitations were not observed, the guarantees and the grant of security interests by these Guarantors could be subject to legal challenge. In these jurisdictions, the guarantees will contain language limiting the amount of debt guaranteed so that applicable local law restrictions will not be violated. Certain of the security documents will contain similar limitations. Accordingly if you were to enforce the guarantees by a Guarantor in one of these jurisdictions or seek to enforce a security interest in collateral granted by a Guarantor in one of these jurisdictions, your claims are likely to be limited. In some cases, where the amount that can be guaranteed or secured is limited by reference to the net assets and legal capital of the Guarantor or by reference to the outstanding debt owed by the relevant Guarantor to an issuer under intercompany loans that amount might have reached zero or close to zero at the time of any insolvency or enforcement. Furthermore, although we believe that the guarantees by these Guarantors and the security interests granted by these Guarantors will be validly given in accordance with local law restrictions, there can be no assurance that a third-party creditor would not challenge these guarantees and security interests and prevail in court.

The security interests over the collateral is granted to the collateral agent rather than directly to the holders of the notes. The ability of the collateral agent to enforce the collateral may be restricted by local law.

In certain jurisdictions, including Germany and The Netherlands, the security over the collateral that (if and when granted) will constitute security for the obligations of the issuers under the notes and the indenture governing the notes will not be granted directly to the noteholders but only in favor of the collateral agent, as beneficiary of parallel debt or analogous obligations (the “Parallel Debt”). This Parallel Debt is created to satisfy a requirement under the applicable laws that the collateral agent, as grantee of certain types of collateral, be a creditor of the relevant security provider. The Parallel Debt is in the same amount and payable at the same time as the obligations of the issuers under the indenture governing the notes and the notes (the “Principal Obligations”). Any payment in respect of the Principal Obligations shall discharge the corresponding Parallel Debt and any payment in respect of the Parallel Debt shall discharge the corresponding Principal Obligations. Although the collateral agent will have, pursuant to the Parallel Debt, a claim against the issuers for the full principal amount of the notes, noteholders bear some risks associated with a possible insolvency or bankruptcy of the collateral agent. The Parallel Debt obligations referred to above are contained in the indenture governing the notes, which are governed by New York law. There is no assurance that such a structure will be effective before applicable courts as there is no judicial or other guidance as to its efficacy, and therefore the ability of the collateral agent to enforce the collateral may be restricted.

The granting of the security interests in the collateral in connection with the issuance of the notes may create hardening periods for such security interests in accordance with the law applicable in certain jurisdictions.

The granting of new security interests in the collateral in connection with the notes may create hardening periods for such security interests in certain jurisdictions. The applicable hardening period for these new security interests will run as from the moment each new security interest has been granted or perfected. At each time, if the security interest granted or recreated were to be enforced before the end of the respective hardening period applicable in such jurisdiction, it may be declared void and/or it may not be possible to enforce it.

Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void notes and guarantees and require holders of the notes to return payments received.

If we or any Guarantor becomes a debtor in a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or encounter other financial difficulty, under federal or state fraudulent transfer law, a court may void, subordinate or otherwise decline to enforce the notes or the guarantees. A court might do so if it found that when we issued the notes or the Guarantor entered into its guarantee, or in some states when payments became due under the notes or the guarantees, we or the Guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:

 

   

was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; or

 

   

was left with inadequate capital to conduct its business; or

 

   

believed or reasonably should have believed that it would incur debts beyond its ability to pay.

The court might also void an issuance of notes or a guarantee without regard to the above factors, if the court found that we issued the notes or the applicable Guarantor entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

A court would likely find that we or a Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the notes or its guarantee, if we or a Guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes. If a court were to void the issuance of the notes or guarantees you would no longer have any claim against us or the applicable Guarantor. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining obligors, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from us or a Guarantor.

The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a Guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

 

   

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or

 

   

if the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

 

   

it could not pay its debts as they become due.

On the basis of historical financial information, recent operating history and other factors, we believe that each Guarantor, after giving effect to its guarantee of the notes, will not be insolvent, will not have unreasonably small capital for the business in which it is engaged and will not have incurred debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. We cannot assure you, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making these determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

Local insolvency laws may not be as favorable to you as U.S. bankruptcy laws or those of another jurisdiction with which you are familiar.

Certain of the Guarantors are incorporated in one of the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, The British Virgin Islands, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Mauritius, Russia, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates. The insolvency laws of these jurisdictions may not be as favorable to your interests as the laws of the United States or other jurisdictions with which you are familiar. In the event that any one or more of the Company, the Guarantors or any other of the Company’s subsidiaries experienced financial difficulty, it is not possible to predict with certainty in which jurisdiction or jurisdictions insolvency or similar proceedings would be commenced, or the outcome of such proceedings.

Insolvency laws and other limitations on the guarantees and the security interests, including fraudulent conveyance statutes, may adversely affect their validity and enforceability and enforcing your rights as a noteholder or under the guarantees across multiple jurisdictions may prove difficult.

Our obligations under the notes will be guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by security interests over the collateral. The Guarantors are organized under the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, The British Virgin Islands, Canada, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, The Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Mauritius, Russia, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates. Although laws differ among these jurisdictions, in general, applicable fraudulent transfer and conveyance and equitable principles, insolvency laws and, in the case of the guarantees and the security interests, limitations on the enforceability of judgments obtained in courts in such jurisdictions could limit the enforceability of the guarantee against a Guarantor and the enforceability of the security interests. The court may also in certain circumstances avoid the security interest or the guarantee where the company is close to or in the vicinity of insolvency. The following discussion of fraudulent transfer, conveyance and insolvency law, although an overview, describes generally applicable terms and principles, which are defined under the relevant jurisdiction’s fraudulent transfer and insolvency statutes.

In an insolvency proceeding, it is possible that creditors of the Guarantors or the appointed insolvency administrator may challenge the guarantees and the security interests, and intercompany obligations generally, as fraudulent transfers or conveyances, preferences or transactions at an undervalue or on other grounds. If so, such laws may permit a court, if it makes certain findings, to:

 

   

avoid or invalidate all or a portion of a Guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee or the security interests;

 

   

direct that holders of the notes return any amounts paid under a guarantee or any security to the relevant Guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of the Guarantor’s creditors; and

 

   

take other action that is detrimental to you.

If we cannot satisfy our obligations under the notes and any guarantee or security interest is found to be a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or is otherwise set aside, we cannot assure you that we can ever repay in full any amounts outstanding under the notes. In addition, the liability of each Guarantor under its guarantee or the security interests will be limited to the amount that will result in such guarantee or security interests not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or improper corporate distribution or otherwise being set aside. The amount recoverable from the Guarantors under the security documents will also be limited. However, there can be no assurance as to what standard a court would apply in making a determination of the maximum liability of each. Also, there is a possibility that the entire guarantee or security interests may be set aside, in which case, the entire liability may be extinguished.

In order to initiate any of these actions under fraudulent transfer or other applicable principles, courts would need to find that, at the time the guarantees were issued or the security interests created, the Guarantor:

 

   

issued such guarantee or created such security interest with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding current or future creditors or with a desire to prefer some creditors over others, or created such security after its insolvency;

 

   

issued such guarantee or created such security interest in a situation where a prudent businessman as a shareholder of such Guarantor would have contributed equity to such Guarantor;

 

   

did not issue such guarantee or create such security interest in good faith or in the best interests of such Guarantor; or

 

   

received less than reasonably equivalent value for incurring the debt represented by the guarantee or security interest on the basis that the guarantee or security interest were incurred for our benefit, and only indirectly the Guarantor’s benefit, or some other basis and (1) was insolvent or rendered insolvent

 

32


Table of Contents
 

by reason of the issuance of the guarantee or the creation of the security interest, or subsequently became insolvent for other reasons; (2) was engaged, or about to engage, in a business transaction for which the Guarantor’s assets were unreasonably small; or (3) intended to incur, or believed it would incur, debts beyond its ability to make required payments as and when they would become due.

Different jurisdictions evaluate insolvency on various criteria, but a Guarantor generally may, in different jurisdictions, be considered insolvent at the time it issued a guarantee or created any security interest if:

 

   

its liabilities exceed the fair market value of its assets;

 

   

it cannot pay its debts as and when they become due; and/or

 

   

the present saleable value of its assets is less than the amount required to pay its total existing debts and liabilities, including contingent and prospective liabilities, as they mature or become absolute.

Although we believe that we are solvent, there can be no assurance which standard a court would apply in determining whether a Guarantor was “insolvent” as of the date the guarantees were issued or the security interests were created or that, regardless of the method of valuation, a court would not determine that a Guarantor was insolvent on that date, or that a court would not determine, regardless of whether or not a Guarantor was insolvent on the date its guarantee was issued or security interests were created, that payments to holders of the notes constituted fraudulent transfers on other grounds.

Certain collateral is subject to potential environmental liabilities and the collateral agent may determine not to foreclose on it.

The notes will be secured in part by liens on real property that may be subject to both known and unforeseen environmental risks, and these risks may reduce or eliminate the value of the real property pledged as collateral for the notes. Moreover, the trustee and the collateral agent may need to evaluate the impact of potential environmental liabilities before determining to foreclose on the collateral consisting of real property because secured lenders that hold or enforce a security interest in real property may, under certain circumstances, be held liable under environmental laws for the costs of remediating or preventing the release or threatened release of regulated materials at or from such real property. Consequently, the collateral agent may decline to foreclose on such collateral or exercise remedies available in respect thereof if it does not receive indemnification to its satisfaction from the noteholders.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness that is not waived by the required holders of such indebtedness, could leave us unable to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest on the notes and could substantially decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, the lenders under our first priority credit facility could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against the assets securing such facilities and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to seek waivers from the required lenders under our senior secured credit facilities to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our senior secured credit facilities and seek waivers, we may not be able to obtain waivers from the required lenders thereunder.

We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.

Upon a change of control as defined in the indenture governing the notes, we will be required to make an offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless we have previously given notice of our intention to exercise our right to redeem the notes or unless such obligation is suspended. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Change of Control.” We may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the notes that are tendered upon a change of control offer or, if then permitted under the indenture governing the notes, to redeem the notes. A failure to make the applicable change of control offer or to pay the applicable change of control purchase price when due would result in a default under the indenture. The occurrence of a change of control would also constitute an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities and may constitute an event of default under the terms of our other indebtedness. The terms of the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes limit our right to purchase or redeem certain indebtedness. In the event any purchase or redemption is prohibited, we may seek to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our senior secured credit facilities or holders of the notes to permit the required repurchase or redemption, but the required holders of such indebtedness have no obligation to grant, and may refuse to grant such a waiver. A change of control is defined in the indenture governing the notes. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Change of Control.”

Certain private equity investment funds affiliated with the Sponsors own a significant majority of our equity and their interests may not be aligned with yours.

The Sponsors, certain of their affiliates and co-investors and certain members of management own 100% of the economic interests of Top Co-op, the direct parent of Holdings, and, therefore, will have the power to control all of our affairs and policies. The Sponsors will also control the election of directors, the appointment of management, the entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of our assets and other extraordinary transactions. The directors so elected will have authority, subject to the terms of our debt, to issue additional stock, implement stock repurchase programs, declare dividends and make other decisions. The interests of the Sponsors could conflict with your interests. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of the Sponsors, as equity holders, might conflict with your interests as a noteholder. The Sponsors may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to you as a noteholder. Additionally, the Sponsors are in the business of making investments in companies, and may from time to time in the future acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of our business or are suppliers or customers of ours.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Conditions in the global economy and the major end markets we serve may materially and adversely affect the business and results of operations of our businesses should they deteriorate.

The business and operating results of our I&A and BP business groups have been, and will continue to be, affected by worldwide economic conditions, including conditions in the general industrial, automotive, non-residential and residential construction end markets we serve. As a result of continuing effects from the slowdown in global economic growth, the credit market crisis, declining consumer and business confidence, increased unemployment, reduced levels of capital expenditures, fluctuating commodity prices, bankruptcies and other challenges affecting the global economy, some of our customers may experience the deterioration of their businesses, cash flow shortages or difficulty obtaining financing. As a result, existing or potential customers may delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and services and may not be able to fulfill their obligations to us in a timely fashion.

Further, our vendors may be experiencing similar conditions, which may impact their ability to fulfill their obligations to us. If the global economic slowdown continues for a significant period or there is significant further deterioration in the global economy, our results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Our strategy to expand our geographical reach may be impacted by economic, political and other risks associated with international operations, and this could adversely affect our business.

One of our key strategies is to expand our geographic reach, and as a result, a substantial portion of our operations are conducted and located outside the U.S. We have manufacturing, sales and service facilities spanning four continents and sell to customers in over 70 countries. Moreover, a significant amount of our manufacturing functions and sources of our raw materials and components are from Asia, principally China. Accordingly, our business and results of operations, as well as the business and results of operations of our vendors, suppliers and customers, are subject to risks associated with doing business internationally, including:

 

   

changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

 

   

trade protection measures, such as tariff increases, and import and export licensing and control requirements;

 

   

potentially negative consequences from changes in tax laws or tax examinations;

 

   

instability in a specific country’s or region’s political, economic or social conditions, particularly in emerging markets and the Middle East;

 

   

difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;

 

   

difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through some foreign legal systems;

 

   

differing and, in some cases, more stringent labor regulations;

 

   

partial or total expropriation;

 

   

differing protection of intellectual property;

 

   

unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and required compliance with a variety of foreign laws, including environmental regulations and laws;

 

   

the burden of complying with multiple and possibly conflicting laws and any unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

 

   

differing local product preferences and product requirements;

 

   

strong competition from companies that are already established in the markets we seek to enter;

 

   

inability to repatriate income or capital; and

 

   

difficulty in administering and enforcing corporate policies, which may be different than the normal business practices of local cultures.

Dependence on the continued operation of our manufacturing facilities.

While we are not heavily dependent on any single manufacturing facility, major disruptions at a number of our manufacturing facilities, due to labor unrest, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, significant mechanical failure of our facilities, or other catastrophic event, could result in significant interruption of our business and a potential loss of customers and sales or could significantly increase our operating costs.

We are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws, as well as other laws governing our international operations; if we fail to comply with these laws we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our international operations are subject to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (“FCPA”) and other anti-corruption laws. The FCPA and these other laws generally prohibit us and our employees and intermediaries from bribing or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. We operate in a number of jurisdictions that pose a high risk of potential FCPA violations, and we participate in joint ventures and relationships with third parties whose actions could potentially subject us to liability under the FCPA. In addition, we cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our international operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

We are also subject to other laws and regulations governing our international operations, including regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control, and various non-U.S. government entities, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions on countries and persons, customs requirements, currency exchange regulations, and transfer pricing regulations (collectively, “Trade Control laws”).

Because of these legal and regulatory requirements, we have instituted policies, procedures and certain ongoing training of employees with regard to business ethics and designed to ensure that we and our employees comply with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws and Trade Control laws. However, there is no assurance that our efforts have been and will be completely effective in ensuring our compliance with all applicable anti-corruption laws, including the FCPA, or other legal requirements. If we are not in compliance with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws or Trade Control laws, we may be subject to criminal and civil penalties, disgorgement and other sanctions and remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Likewise, any investigation of any potential violations of the FCPA or other anti-corruption laws by U.S. or foreign authorities could also have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We face competition in all areas of our business and may not be able to successfully compete with our competitors, which could lead to lower levels of profits and reduce the amount of cash we generate.

We are subject to competition from other producers of products that are similar to ours. Our customers often demand delivery of our products on a tight time schedule and in a number of geographic markets. If our quality of service declines or we cannot meet the demands of our customers, they may utilize the services of our competitors. Our competitors include manufacturers that may be better capitalized, may have a more extensive low-cost sourcing strategy and presence in low-cost regions or may receive significant governmental support and as a result, may be able to offer more aggressive pricing. If we are unable to continue to provide technologically superior or better quality products or to price our products competitively, our ability to compete could be harmed and we could lose customers or market share.

If we are unable to obtain raw materials at favorable prices in sufficient quantities, or at the time we require them, our operating margins and results of operations may be adversely affected.

We purchase our energy, steel, aluminum, rubber and rubber-based materials from outside sources. We do not traditionally have long-term contracts with raw material suppliers. The costs of these raw materials have been volatile historically and are influenced by factors that are outside our control. In recent years, the prices for energy, metal alloys and certain other of our raw materials have been extremely volatile. While we strive to avoid this risk through the use of price escalation mechanisms with respect to our raw materials in our customer contracts and we seek to offset our increased costs where gains are achieved in operational efficiencies, if we are unable to pass increases in the costs of our raw materials on to our customers, our operating margins and results of operations may be adversely affected if operational efficiencies are not achieved.

Additionally, our businesses compete globally for key production inputs. The availability of certain raw materials, energy or other key inputs may be disrupted by any number of geopolitical factors, including political unrest and significant weather events. Such disruptions may require additional capital or operating expenditure by us or force reductions in our production volumes.

The non-residential construction end market is cyclical and affects market conditions for our products and services.

The non-residential construction end market is cyclical, and the downturn in the non-residential construction end market has caused a decline in the demand for our products. Certain of our products are primarily used in the non-residential construction end market and therefore our sales and earnings are strongly influenced by decreased non-residential construction activity. Non-residential construction activity can decline because of many other factors that we cannot control, such as a decline in general economic activity or the availability of credit, a decrease in infrastructure spending, an increase in raw material and overall construction costs and interest rate increases.

A portion of our business relies on home improvement and new home construction activity levels, both of which are inherently cyclical and recently experienced a significant downturn.

A portion of our business relies on residential new construction and repair and refurbishment end markets. The residential new construction market, which is cyclical in nature, has undergone a significant downturn marked by declines in the demand for new homes, an oversupply of new and existing homes on the market and a reduction in the availability of financing for homebuyers. The oversupply of existing homes held for sale has been exacerbated by a growing number of home mortgage foreclosures, which has contributed to the downward pressure on home prices. Low levels of consumer confidence, high levels of unemployment and the downward pressure on home prices have made it more difficult for some homeowners to make additional investments in their homes, such as remodeling projects. Further, disruptions in the credit markets have limited the ability of consumers to finance home improvements. In addition, the economic turmoil has caused certain shifts in consumer preferences and purchasing practices and has resulted in changes in the business models and strategies of our customers. Such shifts, which may or may not be long-term, have altered the nature and prices of products demanded by the end consumer and our customers. If we do not timely and effectively respond to these changing consumer preferences, our relationships with our customers could be adversely affected, the demand for our products could be reduced and our market share could be negatively affected.

If we lose our senior management or key personnel, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

The success of our business is largely dependent on our senior management team, as well as on our ability to attract and retain other qualified key personnel. In addition, there is significant demand in our industry for skilled workers. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain all of our current senior management personnel and to attract and retain other necessary personnel, including skilled workers, necessary for the development of our business. The loss of the services of senior management and other key personnel or the failure to attract additional personnel as required could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to recalls, product liability claims or may incur costs related to product warranties that may materially and adversely affect our business.

Meeting or exceeding many government-mandated safety standards is costly and requires manufacturers to remedy defects related to motor vehicle safety through recall campaigns if the products do not comply with safety standards. If we, customers or government regulators determine that a product is defective or does not comply with safety standards prior to the start of production, the launch of a product could be delayed until such defect is remedied. The costs associated with any protracted delay of a product launch or a recall campaign to remedy defects in products that have been sold could be substantial.

Table of Contents

We face an inherent risk of product liability claims if product failure results in any claim for injury or loss. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and these claims, regardless of their outcome, may be costly, divert management attention and adversely affect our reputation. Supplier consolidation and the increase in low-cost country sourcing may increase the likelihood of receiving defective materials, thereby increasing the risk of product failure and resulting liability claims. In addition, even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and us.

From time to time, we receive product warranty claims from our customers, pursuant to which we may be required to bear costs of repair or replacement of certain of our products. Vehicle manufacturers are increasingly requiring their outside suppliers to participate in the warranty of their products and to be responsible for the operation of these component products in new vehicles sold to consumers. Warranty claims may range from individual customer claims to full recalls of all products in the field. We cannot assure you that costs associated with providing product warranties will not be material.

Our insurance may not fully cover all future losses we may incur.

Manufacturers of products such as ours are subject to inherent risks. We maintain an amount of insurance protection that we consider adequate, but we cannot provide any assurance that our insurance will be sufficient or provide effective coverage under all circumstances and against all hazards or liabilities to which we may be subject. Specifically, our insurance may not be sufficient to replace facilities or equipment that are damaged in part or in full. Damages or third party claims for which we are not fully insured could hurt our financial results and materially harm our financial condition. Further, due to rising insurance costs and changes in the insurance markets, insurance coverage may not continue to be available at all or at rates or on terms similar to those presently available. Additionally, our insurance may subject us to significant deductibles, self-insured retentions, retrospectively rated premiums or similar costs. Any losses not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on us. We typically purchase business interruption insurance for our facilities. However, if we have a stoppage, our insurance policies may not cover every contingency and may not be sufficient to cover all of our lost revenues. In the future, we may be unable to purchase sufficient business interruption insurance at desirable costs.

We supply products to industries which are subject to inherent risks, including equipment defects, malfunctions and failures and natural disasters, which could result in unforeseen and damaging events. These risks may expose us, as an equipment operator and supplier, to liability for personal injury, wrongful death, property damage, pollution and other environmental damage. The insurance we carry against many of these risks may not be adequate to cover our claims or losses. Further, insurance covering the risks we expect to face or in the amounts we desire may not be available in the future or, if available, the premiums may not be commercially justifiable. If we were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if we were to incur liability at a time when we were not able to obtain liability insurance, our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be negatively impacted. If our clients suffer damages as a result of the occurrence of such events, they may reduce their business with us.

We are subject to risks from litigation that may materially impact our operations.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to various types of claims and lawsuits. We are involved in various intellectual property, product liability, product warranty, environmental claims and lawsuits, including other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of every claim and lawsuit and the range of probable loss, we believe these lawsuits and claims will not individually or in the aggregate have a material impact on our results. However, we could in the future be subject to various lawsuits, including intellectual property, product liability, product warranty, environmental claims and antitrust claims, among others and incur judgments or enter into settlements of lawsuits and claims that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in any particular period.

Failure to develop, obtain and protect intellectual property rights could adversely affect our competitive position.

Our success depends on our ability to develop technologies and inventions used in our products and to brand such products, to obtain intellectual property rights in such technologies, inventions, and brands, and to protect and enforce such intellectual property rights. In this regard, we rely on U.S. and foreign trademark, patent,

 

38


Table of Contents

copyright, and trade secret laws, as well as license agreements, nondisclosure agreements, and confidentiality and other contractual provisions. Nevertheless, the technologies and inventions developed by our engineers in the future may not prove to be as valuable as those of competitors, or competitors may develop similar or identical technologies and inventions independently of us and before we do.

We may not be able to obtain patents or other intellectual property rights in our new technologies and inventions or, if we do, the scope of such rights may not be sufficiently broad to afford us any significant commercial advantage over our competitors. Owners of intellectual property rights that we need to conduct our business as it evolves may be unwilling to license such intellectual property rights to us on terms we consider reasonable. Competitors and others may successfully challenge the ownership, validity, and/or enforceability of our intellectual property rights. In the past, pirates have counterfeited certain of our products and sold them under our trademarks, which has led to loss of sales. It is difficult to police such counterfeiting, particularly on a worldwide basis, and the efforts we take to stop such counterfeiting may not be effective.

Our other efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights against infringers may not prove successful and will likely be time-consuming and expensive and divert management’s attention from the day-to-day operation of our business. Adequate remedies may not be available in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets and manufacturing expertise. If we fail to successfully enforce our intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer, which could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We operate in industries with respect to which there are many patents, and it is not possible for us to ascertain that none of our products infringes any patents. If we were found to infringe any patent rights or other intellectual property rights of others, we could be required to pay substantial damages or we could be enjoined from offering certain products and services.

Our information technology systems suffer from certain deficiencies, which we are in the process of remedying.

Through acquisitions of other companies, we have inherited multiple stand-alone Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) systems, and in general our information technology (“IT”) systems are decentralized. This decentralization leads to security risks and makes access to common applications cumbersome. We are in the midst of several large-scale IT projects, including with respect to ERP systems, consolidation of applications and servers, and global Wide Area Network. The costs of such projects may exceed the amounts we have budgeted for them, and any material failures in the execution of such projects may hinder our day-to-day operations.

Longer product lives of automotive parts are adversely affecting aftermarket demand for some of our products.

The average useful life of automotive parts has steadily increased in recent years due to innovations in products, technologies and manufacturing processes. The longer product lives allow vehicle owners to replace parts of their vehicles less often. As a result, a portion of sales in the aftermarket has been displaced. This has adversely impacted, and could continue to adversely impact, our aftermarket sales. Also, any additional increases in the average useful lives of automotive parts would further adversely affect the demand for our aftermarket products.

Pricing pressures from our customers may adversely affect our business.

We face the greatest pricing pressure from our customers in the automotive Original Equipment (“OE”) end market. Virtually all vehicle manufacturers seek price reductions in both the initial bidding process and during the term of the award. We are also, from time to time, subject to pricing pressures from customers in our other markets. If we are not able to offset price reductions through improved operating efficiencies and reduced expenditures or new product introduction, those price reductions may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

We may not be able to accurately forecast demand or meet significant increases in demand for our products.

We order raw materials and supplies and plan production based on discussions with our customers and internal forecasts of demand. If we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products, in terms of both volume and specific products, we may experience delayed product shipments and customer dissatisfaction. Additionally, if demand increases significantly from what has been a historical low for production over the last two

Table of Contents

years, both we and our suppliers may have difficulty meeting such demand, particularly if such demand increases occur rapidly. Failure to accurately forecast demand or meet significant increases in demand could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We are dependent upon our lenders for financing to execute our business strategy and meet our liquidity needs and the lack of adequate financing could negatively impact our business.

In the current volatile credit market, there is risk that any lenders, even those with strong balance sheets and sound lending practices, could fail or refuse to honor their legal commitments and obligations under existing credit commitments, including but not limited to: extending credit up to the maximum permitted by a credit facility, allowing access to additional credit features and otherwise accessing capital and/or honoring loan commitments. If our lenders failed to honor their legal commitments under our senior secured revolving credit facility, it could be difficult in this environment to replace our senior secured revolving credit facility on similar terms.

We may in the future dispose of non-core businesses or acquire related businesses, which we may not be able to successfully integrate, and we may be unable to recoup our investment in these businesses.

From time to time we may make strategic acquisitions of complementary businesses to expand our product portfolio and geographic presence and may dispose of non-core businesses. Acquisitions and disposals, particularly investments in emerging markets, involve legal, economic and political risks. We also encounter risks in the selection of appropriate investment and disposal targets, execution of the transactions and integration of acquired businesses.

While we believe we have successfully integrated the operations we have acquired, we may not be able to effectively integrate newly acquired companies or successfully implement appropriate operational, financial and management systems and controls to achieve the benefits expected to result from these acquisitions. As a result, we may not be able to recoup our investment in those acquisitions or achieve the economic benefits that we anticipate from these acquisitions. Our efforts to integrate these businesses could be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, such as general economic conditions and increased competition. In addition, the process of integrating these businesses could cause the interruption of, or loss of momentum in, the activities of our existing business. The diversion of management’s attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the integration of these businesses could negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Environmental compliance costs and liabilities and responses to concerns regarding climate change could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows adversely.

Our operations and properties are subject to stringent U.S. and foreign, federal, state, local and provincial laws and regulations relating to environmental protection, including laws and regulations governing the investigation and clean up of contaminated properties as well as air emissions, water discharges, waste management and disposal and workplace health and safety. Such laws and regulations affect all of our operations, are continually changing, are generally different in every jurisdiction and can impose substantial fines and sanctions for violations. Further, they may require substantial clean-up costs for our properties (many of which are sites of long-standing manufacturing operations) and the installation of costly pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental releases of regulated materials. We must conform our operations and properties to these laws and adapt to regulatory requirements in all jurisdictions as these requirements change.

Hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents or other hazardous substances or wastes may have been disposed or released on, under or from properties owned, leased or operated by us or on, under or from other locations where such substances or wastes have been taken for disposal. As a result, these properties may be subject to investigatory, cleanup and monitoring requirements under U.S. and foreign, federal, state, local and provincial environmental laws and regulations. Such liability may be imposed without regard to the legality of the original actions and without regard to whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances, and such liability may be joint and several with other parties. If the liability is joint and several, we could be responsible for payment of the full amount of the liability, whether or not any other responsible party also is liable.

Table of Contents

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, both operating and capital costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations, including costs (both legal and technical) associated with the clean-up and investigation of some of our current and former properties as well as our offsite disposal locations. We are currently performing environmental investigations and remediation at a number of former and current facilities in the United States and Canada, as well as at a facility in Belgium. We have incurred and will continue to incur costs to investigate and remediate conditions at those sites. We are also incurring costs associated with contamination at approximately twenty offsite waste disposal sites. We have established reserves with respect to such remediation matters. In addition to these costs, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination, the imposition of new clean-up requirements, or new claims for property damage, personal injury or damage to natural resources arising from environmental matters could require us to incur costs or become the basis for new or increased liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, increasing efforts globally to control emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases (“GHG”), have the potential to impact our facilities, products or customers. Certain countries, states, provinces and regulatory agencies have taken steps, or are in the process of evaluating options, including so-called “cap and trade” systems, to regulate GHG emissions. The stringency of these measures varies among jurisdictions where we have operations. These developments and further legislation that is likely to be enacted in other countries, states or provinces could affect our operations both positively and negatively. Changes in other environmental regulations could also adversely affect the demand for or suitability of some of our products.

We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations in the international markets in which we operate. A decrease in the value of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could reduce profits from international operations and the recorded value of our international net assets.

We conduct operations in many areas of the world involving transactions denominated in a variety of functional currencies, which are other than our reporting currency. We are subject to currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our costs may be denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn and report revenues and vice versa. In addition, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and our various functional currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our earnings.

We also face risks arising from the imposition of exchange controls and currency devaluations. Exchange controls may limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our foreign subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing controls. Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation. Actions of this nature, if they occur or continue for significant periods of time, could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition in any given period.

Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities that are receivable or payable in a currency other than functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations. The remeasurement has caused the U.S. dollar value of our international results of operations to vary with exchange rate fluctuations, and the U.S. dollar value of our international results of operations will continue to vary with exchange rate fluctuations.

A fluctuation in the value of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar could reduce our profits from non-U.S. operations and the translated value of the net assets of our non-U.S. operations when reported in U.S. dollars in our financial statements. This could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations as reported in U.S. dollars. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to currencies in which the earnings are generated may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

We anticipate that there will be instances in which costs and revenues will not be exactly matched with respect to currency denomination. As a result, to the extent we expand geographically, we expect that increasing portions of our revenues, costs, assets and liabilities will be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency valuations. We may experience economic loss and a negative impact on earnings or net assets solely as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Further, the markets in which we operate could restrict the removal or conversion of the local or foreign currency, resulting in our inability to hedge against these risks.

We may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.

As of April 2, 2011, we had approximately 28,000 employees worldwide. Approximately 2,400 of our employees in the United States and Canada are represented by various unions under collective bargaining agreements, including several that expire over the next twelve months. While we have no reason to believe that we will be impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters, we cannot assure that future issues with our labor unions will be resolved favorably or that we will not encounter future strikes, work stoppages, or other types of conflicts with labor unions or our employees. Any of these factors may have an adverse effect on us or may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. In addition, many of our customers have unionized work forces. If one or more of our customers experience a material work stoppage, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

If we are required to make unexpected payments to any pension plans applicable to our employees, our financial condition may be adversely affected.

Some of our and our subsidiaries’ employees participate in defined benefit pension plans. The plans in the U.K. have a pension deficit as calculated under IAS19. The largest U.S. defined benefit pension plan, the Gates Group Retirement Plan also has a pension deficit. Tomkins has guaranteed the obligations of Gates UK Limited to its pension plan, and the obligations of Tomkins’ subsidiary that is the “principal employer” of the one section of the 2008 pension plan that is not directly sponsored by Tomkins. Various factors, such as changes in actuarial estimates and assumptions (including in relation to life expectancy and rate of return on assets) as well as actual return on assets, can increase the expenses and liabilities of the defined benefit pension plans. The assets and liabilities of the plans must be valued from time to time under applicable funding rules and as a result we may be required to increase the cash payments we make under these defined benefit pension plans. For a further description of the pension deficit see the notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

We could also be required at any time to make accelerated payments up to the full buy-out deficit in our defined benefit pension plans, which would likely be far higher than the normal ongoing funding cost of the plans, if we receive a “Contribution Notice” or a “Financial Support Direction” from the U.K. Pensions Regulator or if we are required to terminate one or more of the U.S. defined benefit pension plans by the U.S. Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation (“PBGC”). A Contribution Notice typically can be issued where there has been an act or omission which is materially detrimental to the pension plan or has as one of its main purposes the prevention of the recovery of a debt due to the plan or the compromise or settlement of such a debt. A Financial Support Direction can be issued at any time where the employer in the plan is either a services company or insufficiently resourced (meaning that its net assets are less than fifty percent of its share of the buy-out deficit in the relevant plan, and there are other group companies who have sufficient assets to make up the difference). The PBGC may institute proceedings to terminate a U.S. defined benefit pension plan for a number of reasons, including if it determines that a plan will be unable to pay benefits when due or if the possible long-run loss of the PBGC with respect to a plan may reasonably be expected to increase unreasonably if the plan is not terminated.

Our reported results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected to the extent that we are required to make any additional payments to any relevant defined benefit pension plans in excess of the amounts assumed in our current plans or that we must report higher pension plan expenses under IAS19.

Terrorist acts, conflicts and wars may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a company with a large international footprint, we are subject to increased risk of damage or disruption to us, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers due to terrorist acts, conflicts and wars, wherever located around the world. The potential for future attacks, the national and international responses to attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other actual or potential conflicts or wars have created many economic and political uncertainties. Although it is impossible to predict the occurrences or consequences of any such events, they could result in a decrease in demand for our products, make it difficult or

Table of Contents

impossible to deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and result in the need to impose employee travel restrictions, and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We have taken, and continue to take, cost-reduction actions, which may expose us to additional production risk and we may not be able to maintain the level of cost reductions that we have achieved.

We have been reducing costs in all of our businesses and have discontinued product lines, exited businesses, consolidated manufacturing operations and reduced our employee population. The impact of these cost-reduction actions on our sales and profitability may be influenced by many factors and we may not be able to maintain the level of cost savings that we have achieved depending on our ability to successfully complete these efforts. In connection with the implementation and maintenance of our cost-reduction measures, we may face delays in implementation of anticipated workforce reductions, a decline in employee morale and a potential inability to meet operational targets due to an inability to retain or recruit key employees.

We are dependent on market acceptance of new product introductions and product innovations for continued revenue growth.

The markets in which we operate are subject to technological change. Our long-term operating results depend substantially upon our ability to continually develop, introduce, and market new and innovative products, to modify existing products, to respond to technological change, and to customize certain products to meet customer requirements. There are numerous risks inherent in this process, including the risks that we will be unable to anticipate the direction of technological change or that we will be unable to develop and market new products and applications in a timely fashion to satisfy customer demands.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange a like principal amount of initial notes, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the exchange notes, including with respect to the interest rate and maturity, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. The initial notes surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and canceled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any change in our indebtedness.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared to reflect the following Events:

 

   

the Acquisition;

 

   

the incurrence of indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities and the initial notes which was used to partially finance the Acquisition;

 

   

the tender offer to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes and 2015 Notes that we made in September 2011 as a requirement of the senior secured credit facility agreement (settlement of the tendered notes occurred in October 2010);

 

   

the exercise by certain holders of our 2011 Notes and 2015 Notes of their right to put the notes to us that occurred in November 2010 (the put rights having arisen as a consequence of the ratings downgrade that resulted from the Acquisition); and

 

   

the tender offer to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes that we made in December 2010 as a requirement of the senior secured credit facility agreement (settlement of the tendered notes took place in January 2011).

The Events are described in more detail in “Summary—The Transactions” included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Basis of preparation

The unaudited pro forma financial information comprises the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated income statements of Holdings (i) for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”), which is based on the consolidated income statement of the Predecessor for the period from January 3, 2010 to September 24, 2010 (“9M 2010”) and on the consolidated income statement of the Successor for the period from September 25, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (“Q4 2010”) that are included elsewhere in this prospectus; and (ii) for the 14-week period ended April 3, 2010 (“Q1 2010”), which is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated income statement for the period that is included elsewhere in this prospectus. Pro forma financial information for Q1 2010 is presented for the purposes of facilitating the discussion in management discussion and analysis of the Q1 2011 results.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes give effect to the Events as if they had occurred on January 3, 2010. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable and supportable.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to items of income and expense (including costs directly attributable to the Acquisition) that were incurred in connection with the Events but will not have a continuing impact for us beyond the twelve months following completion of the Events.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented solely for informational purposes and is not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated income statement of the Company had the Events been completed as of January 3, 2010, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and related notes included elsewhere in this document.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments do not reflect any other transactions since January 3, 2010.

The Acquisition

Tomkins Acquisitions made an offer to acquire the entire issued and to be issued share capital of Tomkins for 325 pence per ordinary share in cash.

The purchase consideration was $4,615.4 million (converted from Sterling into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate implicit in forward currency contracts entered into by the Sponsors to hedge their currency exposure with regard to the purchase consideration) and included the cost of acquiring all shares that were the subject of share option and other share-based incentive schemes. The purchase consideration was settled as to $4,535.0 million in cash, $45.5 million in loan notes and $34.9 million in options granted over ordinary “B” shares in Holdings.

The Acquisition was accounted for by Holdings as a business combination in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised 2008) “Business Combinations.” Goodwill amounting to $1,742.1 million was recognized on the Acquisition which represented the excess of the aggregate of the purchase consideration and the amount of the non-controlling interests in Tomkins over the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tomkins measured at the effective date of the Acquisition, as follows:

 

     $ in millions  

Consideration

     4,615.4  

Non-controlling interests

     304.5  
        
     4,919.9  

Identifiable assets and liabilities acquired

     (3,177.8
        

Goodwill

     1,742.1  
        

Holdings initially recognized the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tomkins measured at their fair value at the effective date of the Acquisition, except for the following items that were measured in accordance with the relevant accounting policies set out in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements of Holdings:

 

   

pensions and other post-employment benefit arrangements;

 

   

equity instruments related to the replacement of share-based incentives awarded to the employees of Tomkins;

 

   

deferred tax assets and liabilities of Tomkins; and

 

   

assets classified as held for sale.

Non-controlling interests in Tomkins were measured at the proportionate share of the non-controlling interests in the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tomkins.

A detailed analysis of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tomkins at the effective date of the Acquisition is presented in note 41 to the consolidated financial statements of Holdings.

Management has not yet finalized its assessment of the fair values at the effective date of the Acquisition of certain identifiable intangible assets and items of property, plant and equipment. Management expects to complete the assessment during the second quarter of 2011 and does not expect any adjustments arising from the completion of the assessment to give rise to any material changes to the unaudited pro forma financial information.

(dollars in millions)

Adjustments relating to the Acquisition

(A) Acquisition accounting adjustments

We have adjusted for the effect on the unaudited pro forma financial information of certain of the acquisition accounting adjustments to the carrying amount of the identifiable assets and liabilities of Tomkins as at the effective date of the Acquisition as follows:

Cost of Sales

Pro forma cost of sales for Fiscal 2010 has been increased by $31.2 million to reflect the additional depreciation expense that would have been recognized during 9M 2010 on the fair value uplift to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment held by Tomkins. Similarly, pro forma cost of sales for Q1 2010 has been increased by $10.7 million.

As a result of accounting for the Acquisition, the carrying amount of the inventory held by Tomkins was uplifted by $144.2 million. As this inventory was sold by our businesses during Q4 2010, the effect of the uplift was a non-recurring increase of $144.2 million to cost of sales during Q4 2010 which has therefore been reversed in arriving at pro forma cost of sales for Fiscal 2010.

Administrative Expenses

Pro forma administrative expenses have been increased by $108.2 million, principally to reflect the additional amortization expense that would have been recognized during 9M 2010 on the fair value uplift to the carrying amount of the identifiable intangible assets held by Tomkins on the date of the Acquisition. Similarly, pro forma administrative expenses for Q1 2010 have been increased by $37.0 million.

(B) Costs relating to the Acquisition

Administrative Expenses

During the third quarter of 2010, the Predecessor recognized an accelerated compensation expense of $13.5 million in respect of the early vesting of certain of its employee share schemes as a consequence of the Acquisition. As there is no continuing impact on Holdings, the additional compensation expense has been reversed as a pro forma adjustment in Fiscal 2010.

Transaction Costs

Costs recognized in relation to the Acquisition during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2010 amounted to $119.1 million (including $40.9 million incurred by the Predecessor). As there is no continuing impact on Holdings, these transaction costs have been reversed as a pro forma adjustment in Fiscal 2010.

Other Finance (Expense)/Income

During Q4 2010, the Successor recognized a currency translation loss of $47.6 million on the Acquisition due to the change in the rate of exchange between Sterling (in which the purchase consideration was denominated) and the U.S. dollar (the functional currency of the acquiring entity) in the period between the effective date of the Acquisition and the payment of the consideration to the former shareholders in Tomkins. As there is no continuing impact on Holdings, the currency translation loss has been reversed as a pro forma adjustment in Fiscal 2010.

Draw-Down of New Debt

(C) Additional Interest Expense

We have adjusted the pro forma financial information to reflect the interest expense that would have been recognized had the notes and the amounts drawn against the senior secured credit facilities as at December 31, 2010 been outstanding throughout Fiscal 2010.

We have calculated the additional interest expense on the notes using the effective interest rate method, based on the coupon rate of 9% and taking into account the deferred financing costs attributed to the notes.

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin or, at our option, based on a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin. Both LIBOR and the base rate are subject to a floor.

We have calculated the additional interest expense on our senior secured credit facilities using the effective interest rate method, based on the amounts drawn against the facilities and the terms of the facilities as they existed as at December 31, 2010 and taking into account the deferred financing costs that were attributed to the amounts drawn under the facilities. We have not taken into account the effect on interest expense of the re-pricing of the senior secured credit facilities that became effective on February 17, 2011.

As at December 31, 2010, interest payable in relation to our borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities was based upon 3-month U.S.$ LIBOR, which was 0.29% but was subject to a floor of 1.75%. Accordingly, the interest expense has been calculated as follows:

 

   

on the $296.0 million outstanding against the Term Loan A credit facility, based on interest payable at 6.00% per annum (LIBOR floor + the applicable margin of 4.25%) and the amortization of the commitment fee and other attributable financing costs over the 5-year term of the facility;

 

   

on the $300 million revolving credit facility, fees totalling 4.50% per annum on the $40.3 million drawn by way of letters of credit, a commitment fee of 0.75% per annum on the unutilised portion of the facility which amounted to $259.7 million and the amortization of attributable deferred financing costs over the 5-year term of the facility; and

 

   

on the $1,677.3 million outstanding against the Term Loan B credit facility, based on interest payable at 6.25% per annum (LIBOR floor + the applicable margin of 4.50%) and the amortization of the commitment fee and other attributable financing costs over the 6-year term of the facility.

On inception of the senior secured credit facilities, the applicable prevailing market interest rates were lower than the floor which applied to LIBOR or the base rate as defined in the credit agreement. Consequently, the floor (an embedded interest rate derivative) was required to be separated from each of the host loan contracts. On inception of the facilities, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was a liability of $69.8 million. We recognized the embedded derivative as a separate liability in the Successor’s balance sheet and reduced by an equivalent amount the carrying amounts of the borrowings under the Term Loan A facility and the Term Loan B facility. We are amortizing to profit or loss the adjustments to the carrying amounts of the borrowings under the Term Loan A facility and the Term Loan B facility using the effective interest method over the respective terms of the facilities. We have adjusted the unaudited pro forma financial information to reflect the additional amortization of $3.6 million for Q1 2010 and $14.8 million for Fiscal 2010, that would have been recognized had inception of the senior secured credit facilities occurred at the beginning of Fiscal 2010.

Repayment of the Tomkins Debt

(D) Reduction of Interest Expense

Subsequent to the Acquisition, certain of the existing Tomkins debt was redeemed and/or replaced by the new debt. We have adjusted the pro forma financial information such that the interest expense has been reduced by the interest expense that was recognized during the relevant period on the Tomkins debt that was replaced by the Holdings debt subsequent to the Acquisition.

Repayment of Medium Term Notes

When it was acquired by Holdings, Tomkins had £150 million of the 2011 Notes and £250 million of the 2015 Notes outstanding. Following the Acquisition, the principal amount outstanding on the 2011 Notes was reduced by £47.9 million to £102.1 million and the principal amount outstanding on the 2015 Notes was reduced by £232.8 million to £17.2 million.

Under the terms of the senior secured credit facilities, Holdings was required to commence a tender offer to purchase the outstanding notes prior to the effective date of the Acquisition and, to the extent that any of the 2011 Notes remained outstanding 90 days after the effective date of the Acquisition, Holdings was required to commence a further tender offer for all outstanding 2011 Notes.

On September 13, 2010, Holdings made the first tender offer required under the senior secured credit facilities to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes, at a price of 105.787%, and the outstanding 2015 Notes, at a price of 100.50%. Acceptances were received in respect of £40.9 million of the 2011 Notes and £109.3 million of the 2015 Notes. On October 6, 2010, the purchase was completed for total consideration of £153.1 million.

On November 19, 2010, Holdings notified holders of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes that the credit rating of the medium term notes had been withdrawn by Moody’s and downgraded by Standard & Poor’s as a consequence of the Acquisition and that this constituted a put event under the terms of the medium term notes entitling the holders to redeem the medium term notes at par. Put notices were received in respect of £2.1 million of the 2011 Notes and £123.5 million of the 2015 Notes. Settlement took place on December 17, 2010 for total consideration of £125.6 million.

On December 30, 2010, Holdings made the second tender offer required under the senior secured credit facilities to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes, at a price of 105.00% (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of a further £4.9 million of the 2011 Notes. Settlement took place on January 19, 2011 for consideration of £5.1 million.

We have calculated the reduction in the interest expense due to the redemption of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes using the effective interest rate method, taking into account the deferred financing costs that were attributed to the medium term notes prior to the Acquisition and the fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of the medium term notes that were recognized on the effective date of the Acquisition.

Table of Contents

Overall, therefore, we have reduced interest expense by $8.9 million in Q1 2010 and by $27.4 million in Fiscal 2010 on the assumption that the redemptions of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes took place at the beginning of Fiscal 2010.

Sale of Interest Rate Swaps

Prior to the Acquisition, Tomkins held interest rate swaps to swap the interest payable on the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes from fixed to floating interest rates. On September 16, 2010, Tomkins sold these interest rate swaps in anticipation of the Events.

From the beginning of Fiscal 2010 to the date on which they were sold, the interest receivable under the fixed legs of the interest rate swaps exceeded the interest payable under the fixed legs of the interest rate swaps such that they had the effect of reducing the interest payable on the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes. We have therefore increased interest expense by $7.1 million in Q1 2010 and by $19.0 million in Fiscal 2010 on the assumption that the interest rate swaps were sold at the beginning of Fiscal 2010.

Letters of Credit

Prior to the Acquisition, Tomkins had a revolving credit facility that was replaced by the revolving credit facility provided under the senior secured credit facilities. During 9M 2010, Tomkins made no borrowings against the revolving credit facility but incurred fees in relation to letters of credit issued under the facility that amounted to $1.6 million, of which $0.6 million was incurred in Q1 2010. As the letters of credit were replaced by letters of credit issued under senior secured credit facilities, we have eliminated these fees from the interest expense recognized in the respective periods.

(E) Adjustment to Other Finance (Expense)/Income

Hedge Ineffectiveness

Prior to the Acquisition, Tomkins had designated as fair value hedges in relation to the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes the interest rate swaps that it held to swap the interest payable on the notes from fixed to floating interest rates. During 9M 2010, Tomkins recognized a loss of $1.7 million in other finance (expense)/income, of which $0.6 million was recognized in Q1 2010, because there was deemed to be ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship for accounting purposes. We have eliminated the loss from other finance (expense)/income because the interest rate swaps were sold by Tomkins in anticipation of the Events.

Currency Translation Losses

The 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes and the interest rate swaps that were designated as fair value hedges in relation to them were denominated in Sterling. Translation of these items into the functional currency of the

subsidiaries of Holdings that hold them give rise to currency translation differences that are recognised in other finance expense. We have eliminated from other finance expense a net currency translation gain of $0.5 million in Q1 2010 and a net currency translation loss of $4.9 million in Fiscal 2010, which was attributable to the translation of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes that were redeemed subsequent to the Acquisition and to the interest rate swaps that were sold by Tomkins in anticipation of the Events.

Loss on Redemption of Medium Term Notes

We have eliminated from other finance expense the loss of $0.9 million that Holdings recognized on the redemption of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes subsequent to the Acquisition.

Other Adjustments

(F) Management Fees Payable to the Sponsors

Holdings is required to pay to the Sponsors annual management fees amounting to $3.0 million. Administrative expenses for Q4 2010 included an expense of $0.6 million in relation to these management fees. An additional expense of $0.6 million in Q1 2010 and of $2.4 million in Fiscal 2010 has been recognized as a pro forma adjustment such that the unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the annual management fees payable by Holdings.

(G) Income Tax Adjustments

We have apportioned the pro forma adjustments to the tax jurisdictions in which they would have been recognized and we have tax effected them based on their effect on taxable income in the relevant jurisdiction using the applicable statutory tax rate. In particular, we have tax effected the pro forma adjustments that affect taxable income in the U.K. at the U.K. statutory tax rate of 28% and those that affect taxable income in the United States at the United States statutory tax rate that is applicable to the entity concerned of 37.5%.

(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been calculated based on financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. For the purpose of calculating this ratio, earnings consist of (loss)/profit before tax from continuing operations before our share of the profit or loss of associates, plus fixed charges and the distributed earnings of associates and less the preference security dividend requirement. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, an estimate of the interest within rental expense and, for Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2006, the preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries.

(2) Earnings were deficient to cover fixed charges by $303.8 million for Q4 2010 and by $5.4 million for Fiscal 2008. Earnings for Q4 2010 were negatively impacted by charges related to the Acquisition, including:

 

   

the effect on cost of sales of the uplift to the carrying amount of inventory held by Tomkins on its acquisition by the Group of $144.2 million;

 

   

transaction costs of $78.2 million incurred in relation to the Acquisition; and

 

   

a currency translation loss of $47.6 million on the acquisition of Tomkins due to the change in the rate of exchange between the pound sterling (in which the purchase consideration was denominated) and the U.S. dollar (the functional currency of the acquiring entity), in the period between the effective date of the acquisition and the payment of the consideration to the former shareholders in Tomkins.

During Q4 2010, we also recognized a compensation expense in relation to share-based incentives of $72.4 million that was disproportionately high for the quarter due to the immediate vesting of certain of the awards.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On March 31, 2011, Holdings issued its first annual financial report to holders of the Notes, which contained the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the 14-week period from September 25, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (“Q4 2010”), for the 38-week period from January 3, 2010 to September 24, 2010 (“9M 2010”), for the 52-week period from January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 (“Fiscal 2009”) and for the 53-week period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (“Fiscal 2008”) that are presented elsewhere in this prospectus.

On May 17, 2011, Holdings issued its quarterly financial report for the 13-week period from January 1, 2011 to April 2, 2011 (“Q1 2011”) which contained the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for that period and related notes that are presented elsewhere in this prospectus.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements specified above, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS and present separately the periods prior to the Acquisition (“Predecessor”) and the periods after the Acquisition (“Successor”). The Predecessor financial statements do not reflect the effects of the accounting for or the financing of the Acquisition. To facilitate a discussion of certain results of operations across periods, we have presented the results for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“Fiscal 2010”) and for the 13-week period from January 3, 2010 to April 3, 2010 (“Q1 2010”) on a pro forma basis taking in account the effects of the Events as if they had occurred on January 3, 2010. For information regarding the pro forma effects of the Events, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” included elsewhere in this prospectus and “—Effect of the Acquisition” below.

We first discuss, inter alia, the results of our operations in Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009 and in Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008 and the material changes in our liquidity and capital resources during Fiscal 2010. We then go on to discuss the results of our operations in Q1 2011 compared with Q1 2010, the material changes in our liquidity and capital resources during Q1 2011 and the outlook in our end markets for the remainder of 2011.

We assess the performance of our businesses using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are not explicitly defined under IFRS and are therefore termed “non-GAAP measures.” Under the heading “—Non-GAAP Measures” below, we identify and explain the relevance of each of the non-GAAP measures presented in Management’s Discussion & Analysis, show how they are calculated and present a reconciliation to the most directly comparable measure defined under IFRS. We do not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or superior to, the equivalent measures defined under IFRS. The non-GAAP measures that we use may not be directly comparable with similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

The statements in the discussion and analysis regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding the performance of our business and the forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” and “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. You should read the following discussion together with the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information,” “Selected Historical Financial Information” and the historical audited consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

OVERVIEW

Our Business

We are a diversified global engineering and manufacturing company with a portfolio of market-leading businesses. Our products are highly engineered and used in the industrial, automotive and construction end markets. We have a broad collection of premier brands that are among the most globally recognized in their respective end markets, and we estimate that approximately 80% of our pro forma sales for Fiscal 2010 were derived from businesses that hold the number one position in the markets in which they operate. Approximately 38% of our Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales were generated from the global industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket,

where we achieve higher margins. Our industrial replacement business provides us with exposure to a broad range of industrial end market segments that have an ongoing need for replacement parts, while the automotive aftermarket provides us with a stable source of revenue. The significant majority of our products, including those useful for the reduction of energy consumption and for safety improvement, are positioned in the premium end of their respective end markets. The prices of our products are low relative to the potential cost of their failure within the critical systems in which they are used, such as industrial machinery, automotive engines and HVAC systems. We attribute our end market leadership positions to a combination of our brand strength, product quality and breadth, and customer service and support. We are led by an experienced, proven management team that has successfully streamlined our portfolio to focus on our core businesses, and implemented wide-ranging, significant cost-saving restructuring initiatives.

Effect of the Acquisition

As a result of the Acquisition and the application of purchase accounting, certain of our assets and liabilities were adjusted to their fair values on the date of the Acquisition. These adjusted valuations will result in additional depreciation and amortization in the Successor periods.

Specifically, we anticipate an increase in our cost of sales due to the increased carrying value of our property, plant and equipment and an increase in our administrative expenses due to the amortization of our intangible assets. As a result of the Acquisition we have recognized certain intangible assets that we consider have indefinite useful lives and there has been a significant increase in the carrying amount of goodwill compared with the Predecessor periods. Both goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are subject to annual impairment testing. See “—Critical Accounting Estimates—Impairment of Long-Lived Assets” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.”

Additionally, as discussed below in “—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we incurred significant indebtedness in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, including the offering of the initial notes, and our total indebtedness and related interest expenses will be significantly higher than in the Predecessor periods.

Restructuring Initiatives

In response to the adverse economic conditions prevailing during late 2007 and 2008, we launched two major restructuring initiatives during 2008 and 2009, which we refer to as projects Eagle and Cheetah. Project Eagle was launched in early 2008 to reduce our cost base, improve our competitiveness and increase our operating margins. Project Cheetah was launched in early 2009 to refocus our manufacturing footprint towards low-cost and high growth regions and within our most efficient facilities. These projects have had, and are expected to continue to have, a material impact on our results of operations, capital resources and cash flows.

Our Segments

Our revenue and earnings base is highly diversified by product, geography, end market and customer. We derive revenues from nearly every developed country across the globe and are well-positioned in most emerging markets with our industrial and automotive component products.

We are organized for management reporting purposes into two business groups: Industrial & Automotive and Building Products. We distinguish within our continuing operations between those of our operating segments that are ongoing, which we identify as “ongoing segments”, and those that we have exited but do not meet the conditions to be classified as discontinued operations, which we identify as “exited segments.”

 

   

Industrial & Automotive manufactures a wide range of systems and components for the industrial OE and replacement end markets, as well as the automotive OE end market and automotive aftermarket throughout the world. I&A is comprised of four ongoing operating segments: Power Transmission, Fluid Power, Sensors & Valves and Other I&A.

Table of Contents
   

Building Products is comprised of two ongoing operating segments: Air Distribution and Bathware. Air Distribution supplies certain HVAC system components to the non-residential and residential construction end markets, mainly in North America. Bathware manufactures bathtubs and shower enclosures primarily used in residential applications.

During the periods under review, we reported two exited segments: within Industrial & Automotive, the Stant and Standard-Thomson businesses that were sold during in Fiscal 2008 (“Caps & Thermostats”); and within Building Products, the Philips Doors & Windows business that was closed during Fiscal 2009 (“Doors & Windows”).

Highlighting our geographical diversification approximately 37% of our Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales were generated outside North America.

Our top ten customers represented only 23% of our Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales. We maintain long-standing customer relationships and have served our top 20 customers for an average of over 35 years, while some of our largest customer relationships span over 50 years. We have also developed strong relationships with industry-leading customers in emerging markets.

Our product portfolio consists of tens of thousands of SKUs, and we believe it comprises the broadest range of power transmission belts, fluid power hoses and air distribution products in the end markets in which we operate. This breadth, combined with our brand reputation, product quality, superior field sales and service support, long-standing customer relationships and ability to deliver on short lead times, has allowed us to establish and maintain our leading market positions.

Highlighting the diversity of our end markets, our Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales analyzed by end market were as follows:

Recent Industry Trends

Industrial & Automotive

Industrial end markets accounted for 39.6% of I&A’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales, with 18.8% to the industrial OE end market and 20.9% to the industrial replacement end market. U.S. industrial production, as measured by the U.S. Federal Reserve Industrial Production index, continued to improve throughout 2010 and was on average 6% higher than 2009. The industrial OE end market and replacement end markets improved during 2010 due to increased industrial activity that led to an increase in demand for our products and some restocking by our customers. The European market followed a similar trend, with industrial production steadily increasing through 2010. Asia continued to perform strongly during 2010, although there were signs of some slowdown in the rate of growth in the Chinese and Japanese markets. We do not expect the recent earthquake in Japan to have a significant adverse effect on our activities in Japanese markets.

The automotive aftermarket, which comprised 26.6% of I&A’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales increased in all of the regions in which we operate but particularly in Asia, due to growth in end user demand and the increased number of cars in use. In the automotive OE market, which accounted for 31.2% of I&A’s Fiscal pro forma 2010 sales, volumes in Fiscal 2010 were higher as a result of an improvement in the global automotive markets and weak comparable figures during Fiscal 2009, especially in North America. According to IHS/CSM, global automotive production was up 24% in 2010 compared with 2009, with volumes in North America up 39% and volumes in Europe up 14%, driven mainly by export demand and stimulus programs within Europe.

Building Products

Non-residential construction in North America accounted for 65.0% of Building Products’ Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales. According to Dodge, in the United States, non-residential construction starts declined on a square foot basis by 16% in 2010 compared with 2009, and by 8% on a value basis. The U.S. Architectural Billings Index, which is regarded as a leading indicator of future commercial construction activity, remained under 50 for most of 2010, indicating a continued contraction in construction activity for at least the next nine to 12 months.

Residential construction in North America accounted for 34.6% of Building Products’ Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales. The U.S. residential construction market, as measured by housing starts, remained broadly flat for the majority of the first half of 2010 but declined in May and June 2010 following the expiration on April 30, 2010 of federal tax credits designed to stimulate housing sales. Housing starts remained low for most of the rest of the year, as a result of high unemployment, tighter restrictions on mortgage lending and the high inventory of unsold homes. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, year-end housing inventories for new and existing homes were at 6.9 months and 8.1 months respectively. These figures are still above the 10-year averages (6.0 months for new homes and 5.9 months for existing homes), implying limited potential increase in construction activity for the near future. Housing sales were also impacted by the poor economic conditions, with new and existing home sales falling by 8% and 3% respectively in 2010 compared with 2009, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Sales

Sales from continuing operations were $1,289.2 million in Q4 2010 and were $3,564.7 million in 9M 2010. Pro forma sales for Fiscal 2010 were $4,853.9 million, compared with $4,180.1 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 16.1%. Most of our end markets strengthened during the period, which caused a corresponding increase in sales volumes across our businesses. Acquisitions made during the period, in particular the acquisition of Koch Filter Corporation in February 2010, increased Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales by $52.8 million compared with Fiscal 2009. Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales also benefited by $23.7 million compared with Fiscal 2009 from changes in average currency exchange rates. However, Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales included no contribution from Doors & Windows, an exited segment that contributed sales of $36.5 million prior to its closure during Fiscal 2009. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, the closure of Doors & Windows and exchange rate movements, Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales rose by $633.8 million, or 15.3%, compared with Fiscal 2009.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $1,038.1 million in Q4 2010 and $2,437.7 million in 9M 2010. Pro forma cost of sales for Fiscal 2010 was $3,362.8 million compared with $2,995.9 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 12.2% that was driven principally by higher production volumes and the effect of accounting for the Acquisition.

Production volumes increased significantly in the I&A businesses in response to the sales growth experienced during Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009, but these increases were slightly offset by reduced volumes in the Building Products businesses due to the continued weakness in North American construction end markets. Production cost savings resulted from our restructuring initiatives, particularly in the Power Transmission and Fluid Power segments. During Fiscal 2010, we also benefited from decreases in certain material costs, but incurred marginally higher labor costs.

Pro forma cost of sales for Fiscal 2010 includes an additional depreciation expense of $42.7 million due to the fair value uplift to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment held by Tomkins at the date of the Acquisition.

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $251.1 million in Q4 2010 and $1,127.0 million in 9M 2010. Pro forma gross profit for Fiscal 2010 was $1,491.1 million compared with $1,184.2 million for Fiscal 2009.

Table of Contents

Our gross profit margin was 19.5% in Q4 2010, significantly down compared with the 9M 2010 margin of 31.6% as a result of the purchase accounting adjustments included in cost of sales. Pro forma gross profit margin for Fiscal 2010 was 30.7%, broadly in line with the gross profit margin for 9M 2010, and slightly higher than the gross profit margin of 28.3% achieved in Fiscal 2009, principally due to the production cost savings.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs recognized during Q4 2010 were $144.6 million and were $382.4 million during 9M 2010. Pro forma distribution costs for Fiscal 2010 were $527.0 million compared with $464.8 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 3.4 % that was broadly commensurate with the increase in sales volumes. Efficiency gains in I&A drove the slight improvement in distribution costs as a percentage of sales, from 11.1% of sales in Fiscal 2009 to 10.9% on a pro forma basis in Fiscal 2010.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses recognized during Q4 2010 were $230.8 million and were $358.2 million during 9M 2010. Pro forma administrative expenses for Fiscal 2010 were $686.1 million, compared with $480.4 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of $205.7 million that was related principally share-based incentives and the effect of accounting for the Acquisition. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 11.5% in Fiscal 2009 to 14.1% on a pro forma basis in Fiscal 2010.

Pro forma administrative expenses for Fiscal 2010 include a compensation expense of $80.1 million in relation to share-based incentives, a significant increase compared with the compensation expense of $11.3 million that was recognized during Fiscal 2009 which is principally due to the new share schemes that were put in place after the Acquisition.

Pro forma administrative expenses for Fiscal 2010 include an additional amortization expense of $141.9 million due to the fair value uplift to the carrying amount of the identifiable intangible assets held by Tomkins at the date of the Acquisition.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs recognized in relation to acquisitions were $78.2 million during Q4 2010 and were $41.5 million during 9M 2010. Pro forma transaction costs for Fiscal 2010 amounted to $0.6 million, principally in relation to the acquisition of Koch Filter Corporation in February 2010. Acquisition-related costs incurred by us in relation to businesses acquired before January 3, 2010 were not expensed but were included in the cost of acquisition.

Impairments

We recognized no impairment of long-lived assets during Fiscal 2010.

During Fiscal 2009, we recognized impairments amounting to $73.0 million, comprising $18.9 million on goodwill and intangible assets arising on acquisitions, $38.6 million on assets that became impaired as a consequence of our restructuring initiatives and $15.5 million on receivables held in relation to the disposal of businesses in previous years.

Restructuring Costs

We recognized restructuring costs of $2.0 million during Q4 2010 and $10.0 million during 9M 2010 in connection with projects Eagle and Cheetah. In both periods, the costs related principally to the cessation of certain of Power Transmission’s manufacturing facilities in North America and were partially offset by gains on various asset disposals.

During Fiscal 2009, we recognized restructuring costs of $144.1 million. I&A recognized restructuring costs of $117.0 million, which principally related to the cessation of Power Transmission’s manufacturing operations in Aachen, Germany, the rationalization of its powder metal facility at Mississauga, Ontario, and the closures of its pulley and tensioner facility at London, Ontario, and FormFlo in the U.K.; the cessation of Fluid Power’s hose manufacturing activities in Erembodegem, Belgium and the substantial closure of its assembly facility at St. Neots, U.K.; and, in Other I&A, the closure of Ideal’s manufacturing facility at St. Augustine, Florida and the rationalization of Dexter’s manufacturing facilities. Building Products recognized restructuring costs of $26.6 million, which principally related to the closure of the Philips Doors and Windows business.

Net Gain on Disposals and on the Exit of Businesses

During Q4 2010, we recognized no gain or loss on the disposal or exit of businesses. During 9M 2010, we recognized a net gain of $9.6 million on the disposal of property, plant and equipment, principally in Building Products as a consequence of the restructuring of Bathware and the closure of Doors & Windows. This net gain was offset by an additional loss of $3.3 million on the disposal of a subsidiary that took place in Fiscal 2008 and a loss on the disposal of Hydrolink’s operations in Kazakhstan.

During Fiscal 2009, we recognized a net gain of $0.2 million in relation to the disposal of businesses in prior years.

Gain on Amendment of Post-Employment Benefits

During Fiscal 2009, we recognized a one-off gain of $63.0 million on the amendment of post-employment benefit plans in North America.

Operating profit

During Q4 2010 we incurred an operating loss of $203.8 million but during 9M 2010 we recognized an operating profit of $339.9 million. Pro forma operating profit for Fiscal 2010 was $271.1 million, compared with an operating profit of $84.7 million for Fiscal 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $191.2 million for Q4 2010 and $543.4 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal 2010 was $732.9 million, an increase of $285.2 million over the adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal 2009 of $447.7 million that was due largely to the effect of increased sales volumes and the benefits of our restructuring initiatives. Our pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.1% for Fiscal 2010, compared with our EBITDA margin of 10.7% for Fiscal 2009.

A reconciliation of operating profit or loss for the period to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods under review is presented under the heading “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

Interest expense was $90.9 million in Q4 2010 and $71.8 million in 9M 2010. Pro forma interest expense was $361.4 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $113.2 million for Fiscal 2009, the increase being due largely to the additional borrowings that were drawn down to finance the Acquisition.

At the beginning of Q4 2010, we borrowed $2,000.0 million by way of floating rate term loans issued under the senior secured credit facilities and issued $1,150.0 million 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes that mature on October 1, 2018 to finance the Acquisition. We recognized a pro forma interest expense of $270.2 million on these additional borrowings during Fiscal 2010.

When it was acquired, Tomkins had the following notes outstanding under a Euro Medium Term Note Programme: £150 million 8% notes repayable at par on December 20, 2011 (the “2011 Notes”); and £250 million 6.125% notes repayable at par on September 16, 2015 (the “2015 Notes”). During Q4 2010, as a result of our tender offer and the triggering of a put option held by the lenders, the principal amount outstanding on the 2011 Notes was reduced from £150.0 million to £102.1 million and the principal amount outstanding on the 2015 Notes was reduced from £250.0 million to £17.2 million. As a result, the pro forma interest expense in relation to the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes was $8.3 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $44.7 million in Fiscal 2009.

Prior to the Acquisition, Tomkins held interest rate swaps to swap the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes from fixed interest rates to floating interest rates. During 9M 2010, these interest rate swaps had the effect of reducing our interest expense by $19.0 million (Fiscal 2009: $20.2 million). On September 16, 2010, these interest rate swaps were sold in anticipation of the Transactions. Accordingly, their beneficial effect was eliminated in arriving at the pro forma interest expense for Fiscal 2010.

In Fiscal 2010, interest on the benefit obligations of our defined benefit and post-employment heath care plans was $65.8 million, $4.2 million lower than in Fiscal 2009 due to the decline in market interest rates during Fiscal 2010.

Interest earned on bank and other deposits was higher during Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009 due principally to the higher average interest-bearing cash balances. However, the higher interest income was outweighed by the effect during the period of the lower expected return on the assets held by our defined benefit pension plans at the beginning of Fiscal 2010 compared with at the beginning of Fiscal 2009.

Other finance expense was $27.1 million in Q4 2010 and $2.7 million in 9M 2010. Pro forma other finance income was $25.3 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with an expense of $0.3 million in Fiscal 2009.

Prior to the Acquisition, Tomkins had designated as fair value hedges in relation to the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes the interest rate swaps that it held to swap the interest payable on the notes from fixed to floating rates. During 9M 2010, Tomkins recognized a loss of $1.7 million in other finance expense because there was deemed to be ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship for accounting purposes. As the interest rate swaps were sold in anticipation of the Transactions, we have eliminated that loss in arriving at pro forma other finance income for Fiscal 2010. During Fiscal 2009, we recognized a gain of $1.3 million due to hedge ineffectiveness of the interest rate swaps.

Other finance expense included a currency translation loss on hedging instruments of $1.5 million in Q4 2010 and $1.0 million in 9M 2010. In arriving at pro forma other finance income for Fiscal 2010, we have eliminated a net currency translation loss of $4.9 million which was attributable to the translation of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes and to the interest rate swaps that were designated as fair value hedges in relation to them. Accordingly, pro forma other finance income for Fiscal 2010 includes a net currency translation gain of $2.4 million on hedging instruments compared with a net currency translation loss of $1.6 million that was included in other finance expense for Fiscal 2009.

Borrowings against the senior secured credit facilities that were drawn down to finance the Acquisition bear interest at floating rates, subject to a floor (an embedded interest rate derivative that was required to be recognized separately from the term loans). During Q4 2010, we recognized a gain of $22.9 million due to the change in the fair values of the embedded interest rate derivatives as a credit to other finance expense.

During Q4 2010, we incurred a currency translation loss of $47.6 million on the Acquisition due to the change in the rate of exchange between Sterling (in which the purchase consideration was denominated) and the U.S. dollar (the functional currency of the acquiring entity), in the period between the effective date of the Acquisition and the payment of the consideration to the former shareholders in Tomkins. Also during Q4 2010, we incurred a loss of $0.9 million on repayments of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes. As these losses represented non-recurring effects of the Transactions, they were eliminated in arriving at pro forma other finance income for Fiscal 2010.

Income Tax Benefit/(Expense)

We recognized an income tax benefit of $32.9 million on a loss before tax of $303.1 million in Q4 2010 and an income tax expense of $62.8 million on a profit before tax of $313.6 million in 9M 2010. For Fiscal 2010, the pro forma income tax benefit was $29.1 million on the pro forma profit before tax of $16.3 million, compared with the income tax expense of $28.5 million that we recognized on the profit before tax of $38.4 million in Fiscal 2009.

Discontinued Operations

During Fiscal 2010, we recognized additional losses of $7.2 million (Fiscal 2009: $3.9 million) in relation to businesses sold in previous years that were classified as discontinued operations.

Pro forma sales in our Power Transmission segment were $2,136.7 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $1,763.4 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 21.2%, that was due primarily to further strengthening of all of our end markets, particularly the industrial end markets. Sales to the industrial OE and replacement markets (together 25.5% of Power Transmission’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) grew by 33.0% compared with Fiscal 2009, because of improved demand. Sales to the automotive OE market (41.1% of Power Transmission’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales), were up by 27.1% during Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009, driven by strong growth in North America and China. In North America, this growth was due to the unprecedentedly low sales volumes in the prior year as a result of extended plant shutdowns and significantly depressed sales by automotive OE manufacturers (“OEMs”), including the Chapter 11 restructurings of General Motors and Chrysler. Sales to the higher margin automotive aftermarket (33.4% of Power Transmission’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) continued to perform well, increasing by 7.7% compared with Fiscal 2009 due to increased demand by end users driven by the increased size and age of the global vehicle population, the greater number of miles driven, and, additionally in China, government subsidies.

We incurred an operating loss in our Power Transmission segment of $21.1 million for Q4 2010, but the segment recognised an operating profit of $253.1 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma operating profit was $209.8 million for Fiscal 2010, an increase of $67.0 million compared with Fiscal 2009. Pro forma depreciation and pro forma amortization amounted to $212.0 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $81.8 million in Fiscal 2009, the increase being due principally to the purchase accounting uplift to the carrying amounts of the relevant long-lived assets. In Fiscal 2010, the pro forma compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives was $6.7 million compared with $2.1 million in Fiscal 2009. While there was no impairment of long-lived assets recognized in Fiscal 2010, Power Transmission recognized impairments of $23.2 million in Fiscal 2009. In Fiscal 2010, pro forma restructuring costs were $9.0 million compared with $75.6 million for Fiscal 2009. In Fiscal 2009, Power Transmission recognized a one-off gain of $29.7 million on the amendment of our post-employment benefit plans in North America.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Power Transmission segment was $115.2 million for Q4 2010 and $318.2 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $433.5 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $295.8 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 46.6% that was due principally to higher volumes in Fiscal 2010 and the effects of our restructuring initiatives. Power Transmission’s adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 20.3% on a pro forma basis in Fiscal 2010 compared with 16.8% in Fiscal 2009.

Pro forma sales in our Fluid Power segment were $784.5 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $588.7 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 33.3%. Sales to the industrial replacement market (49.5% of Fluid Power’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) were up by 33.1% compared with Fiscal 2009 due to increased utilization of industrial equipment driven by the economic recovery, particularly in North America. Sales to the industrial OE market (30.7% of Fluid Power’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) were up by 49.9% in Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009, due to the continued recovery in all of our regional end markets.

Sales to the higher margin automotive aftermarket (19.6% of Fluid Power’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) were up by 13.7% globally, due principally to the improved economic conditions.

We incurred an operating loss in our Fluid Power segment of $19.5 million for Q4 2010, but the segment recognized an operating profit for 9M 2010 of $45.3 million. Pro forma operating profit was $53.0 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with an operating loss of $22.7 million for Fiscal 2009. Pro forma depreciation and pro forma amortization amounted to $42.9 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $33.7 million in Fiscal 2009, the increase being due principally to the purchase accounting uplift to the carrying amounts of the relevant long-lived assets. In Fiscal 2010, the pro forma compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives was $3.9 million compared with $0.7 million in Fiscal 2009. While there was no impairment of long-lived assets recognized in Fiscal 2010, Fluid Power recognized impairments of $12.5 million in Fiscal 2009. In Fiscal 2010, restructuring costs were $1.4 million compared with $26.0 million for Fiscal 2009. In Fiscal 2009, Fluid Power recognized a one-off gain of $31.4 million on the amendment of our post-employment benefit plans in North America.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Fluid Power segment was $27.6 million for Q4 2010 and $73.2 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $101.0 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $18.8 million for Fiscal 2009, the improvement being due principally to the increased sales volumes and the effects of our restructuring initiatives. Fluid Power’s adjusted EBITDA margin improved significantly to 12.9% on a pro forma basis in Fiscal 2010 compared with 3.2% in Fiscal 2009.

Pro forma sales in our Sensors & Valves segment were $402.2 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $313.6 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 28.3%, that was primarily the result of the higher product volumes demanded by the automotive OE market (which comprised 77.1% of Sensors & Valves’ Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales), particularly in North America and Asia. During Fiscal 2009, extended plant shutdowns, which were particularly extensive in the North American automotive OE end market (particularly during the Chapter 11 restructurings of General Motors and Chrysler), and significantly depressed sales by automotive OEMs, affected sales levels at the Schrader Electronics business. Schrader International’s automotive aftermarket business, which accounts for the remainder of Sensors & Valves’ sales, grew as a result of improving conditions in those markets compared with Fiscal 2009.

Our Sensors & Valves segment recognized an operating profit of $0.5 million for Q4 2010 and $26.7 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma operating profit was $24.7 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with an operating loss of $3.4 million for Fiscal 2009. Pro forma depreciation and pro forma amortization amounted to $36.8 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $25.0 million in Fiscal 2009, the increase being due principally to the purchase accounting uplift to the carrying amounts of the relevant long-lived assets. In Fiscal 2010, the pro forma compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives was $3.0 million compared with $0.8 million in Fiscal 2009. A release of $1.7 million of the provision for restructurings was recognized in Fiscal 2010 compared with an expense of $3.2 million for Fiscal 2009.

Pro forma sales in our Other I&A segment were $548.8 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $463.4 million for Fiscal 2009, an increase of 18.4%. The industrial and utility trailer markets (62.6% of Other I&A’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) increased over the prior year as industrial demand began to recover from the depressed levels experienced in Fiscal 2009. Approximately 90% of the Fiscal 2010 sales to these end markets were made to the recovering North American markets. The recreational vehicle end market (16.6% of Other I&A’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) also grew strongly in North America primarily due to customer restocking, particularly in the first half of Fiscal 2010, improving by 41.6% during Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009.

We incurred an operating loss in our Other I&A segment of $22.6 million for Q4 2010, but the segment recognized an operating profit for 9M 2010 of $42.4 million. Pro forma operating profit was $32.2 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $13.8 million for Fiscal 2009. In Fiscal 2010, the pro forma compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives was $10.9 million compared with $0.5 million in Fiscal 2009. Pro forma depreciation and pro forma amortization amounted to $26.7 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $16.4 million in Fiscal 2009, the increase being due principally to the purchase accounting uplift to the carrying amounts of the relevant long-lived assets. In Fiscal 2010, restructuring costs were $1.1 million compared with $12.2 million for Fiscal 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Other I&A segment was $15.9 million for Q4 2010 and $55.2 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $71.1 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $41.6 million for Fiscal 2009, the improvement being due principally to higher sales volumes and the effects of our restructuring initiatives.

Distribution’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) rose marginally compared with Fiscal 2009, as the continued decline in North American new build markets was offset by growth in the North American refurbishment market. Sales to the residential construction market (26.0% of Air Distribution’s Fiscal 2010 pro forma sales) declined by 7.2% in Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2009 due to the continued weakness in the North American residential construction market.

We incurred an operating loss in our Air Distribution segment of $5.0 million for Q4 2010, but the segment recognized an operating profit for 9M 2010 of $51.8 million. Pro forma operating profit was $47.2 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $48.1 million for Fiscal 2009. Pro forma depreciation and pro forma amortization amounted to $45.9 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $31.9 million in Fiscal 2009, the increase being due principally to the purchase accounting uplift to the carrying amounts of the relevant long-lived assets. In Fiscal 2010, the pro forma compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives was $7.6 million compared with $1.9 million in Fiscal 2009. While there was no impairment of long-lived assets recognized in Fiscal 2010, Air Distribution recognized impairments of $18.6 million in Fiscal 2009. In Fiscal 2010, restructuring costs were $1.7 million compared with $5.1 million for Fiscal 2009.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Air Distribution segment was $22.6 million for Q4 2010 and $80.5 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA was $103.5 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $105.6 million for Fiscal 2009, with the slight reduction being due largely to the decline in sales which was offset partially by improved cost efficiencies. Air Distribution’s pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin was slightly lower at 12.0% on a pro forma basis for Fiscal 2010 compared with 12.1% for Fiscal 2009.

Pro forma depreciation and pro forma amortization amounted to $10.7 million in Fiscal 2010 compared with $8.4 million in Fiscal 2009, the increase being due principally to the purchase accounting uplift to the carrying amounts of the relevant long-lived assets. In Fiscal 2009, Bathware recognized restructuring costs of $1.6 million and impairments of $2.5 million.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Bathware segment was a loss of $1.2 million for Q4 2010 and $1.7 million for 9M 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $2.9 million for Fiscal 2010, which was higher than the loss of $0.1 million for Fiscal 2009 due to the continued decline in the residential construction end market during Fiscal 2010.

Sales

Sales from continuing operations were $4,180.1 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $5,515.9 million for Fiscal 2008, a decline of 24.2%. Most of our end markets experienced significant weakening, particularly in the first half of 2009, which caused a corresponding decline in sales volumes across our businesses. Sales fell by $247.4 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008 due to changes in average currency exchange rates. Sales were also reduced by $79.5 million for Fiscal 2009 due to the disposal of two non-core businesses in Fiscal 2008, but this was partially offset by the contribution of recent acquisitions made in Fiscal 2009 which added $26.4 million to sales for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $2,995.9 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $4,023.7 million for Fiscal 2008.

During Fiscal 2009, we reduced our production levels in response to declining sales volumes and in order to reduce inventory in support of management’s continuing effort to control working capital levels. Also during Fiscal 2009, we benefited from reductions in our cost base resulting from projects Eagle and Cheetah. Due to the combination of these factors, raw material, direct labor and other direct costs incurred each declined by more than 30% for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008. Depreciation was 16.4% lower for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008, reflecting the impact of restructuring initiatives during 2009, the impairment of property, plant and equipment that was recognized in Fiscal 2008 and management’s strict control over capital expenditure levels. Other overhead expenses were 24.7% lower for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008 due to the impact of restructuring initiatives during Fiscal 2009.

Table of Contents

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased from 27.1% for Fiscal 2008 to 28.3% for Fiscal 2009 due primarily to the reduction of our cost base resulting from projects Eagle and Cheetah, with raw material costs as a percentage of sales decreasing from 42.2% for Fiscal 2008 to 36.4% for Fiscal 2009 and the labor cost base improved from 8.4% of sales for Fiscal 2008 to 7.6% for Fiscal 2009.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs were $464.8 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $584.5 million for Fiscal 2008, a decrease of 20.5%. Distribution costs fell in response to lower sales volumes and lower energy costs.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were $480.4 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $513.3 million for Fiscal 2008, a decrease of 6.4%. Administrative expenses declined primarily due to headcount reductions, lower property costs and reduced professional and consultancy fees.

Impairments

We recognized impairment charges of $73.0 million for Fiscal 2009, comprising $18.9 million related to goodwill and intangible assets, $38.6 million on assets that had become impaired as a consequence of our restructuring initiatives and $15.5 million on receivables held in connection with the disposal of businesses in prior years.

During Fiscal 2008 impairments were $342.4 million, of which $228.6 million related to goodwill and $113.8 million related to property, plant and equipment, largely as a result of the significant deterioration during 2008 of the North American automotive OE and U.S. residential construction end markets.

Restructuring Costs

During Fiscal 2009, restructuring costs amounted to $144.1 million and primarily related to the restructuring of our manufacturing operations under projects Eagle and Cheetah. During Fiscal 2008, restructuring costs were $26.0 million and these were largely related to the closure of manufacturing facilities and the outsourcing of certain information technology services.

Net Gain on Disposals and on the Exit of Businesses

During Fiscal 2009, we recognized a net gain of $0.2 million in relation to the disposal of businesses in prior years. During Fiscal 2008, we recognized a gain of $43.2 million as a result of the disposal of Stant and Standard-Thomson.

Gain on Amendment of Post-Employment Benefits

Effective September 30, 2009, we closed our principal defined benefit pension plans in the United States and Canada to future service accrual and the deferred pension benefits accrued under those plans were frozen, based on the pensionable salaries of participating employees at that date. In addition, we closed the Gates post-retirement healthcare plan in the United States to employees who had not retired by December 31, 2009 and reduced the benefits payable to existing beneficiaries. As a result of these amendments, we recognized a gain of $63.0 million for Fiscal 2009, of which $35.3 million related to pensions and $27.7 million to healthcare benefits.

Operating Profit

Operating profit was $84.7 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $66.9 million for Fiscal 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA

Our adjusted EBITDA was $447.7 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $633.4 million for Fiscal 2008, a decline of 29.3% that was due largely to the effect of reduced sales volumes. Our adjusted EBITDA margin was 10.7% in Fiscal 2009, compared with 11.5% in Fiscal 2008. Although the margin fell in the first half of 2009, it recovered in the second half of 2009, reflecting the effect of improving sales and the reduction in our cost base that resulted from our restructuring initiatives.

A reconciliation of operating profit or loss for the period to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods under review is presented under the heading “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

Net Finance Costs

Net finance costs were $46.3 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $75.0 million for Fiscal 2008. Net interest payable on net borrowings was lower at $38.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $47.1 million for Fiscal 2008 due to lower than average net debt and lower average interest rates during Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008.

Net finance cost recognized in relation to post-employment benefits was $7.4 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $2.9 million for Fiscal 2008 and is shown as follows:

Other finance expense was $0.3 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $25.0 million for Fiscal 2008. This primarily related to gains and losses on financial instruments held by us to hedge our currency translation exposures that either did not qualify for hedge accounting or in respect of which there was hedge ineffectiveness.

Income Tax Expense

We recognized an income tax expense of $28.5 million on a profit before tax of $38.4 million in Fiscal 2009, compared with an income tax expense of $38.4 million on a loss before tax of $8.1 million in Fiscal 2008.

Discontinued Operations

During Fiscal 2009, we recognized additional losses of $3.9 million (Fiscal 2008: $nil) in relation to businesses sold in previous years that were classified as discontinued operations.

Analysis by Ongoing Business Segment

Industrial & Automotive

Market Background

US industrial production, as measured by the U.S. Federal Reserve Industrial Production index, was down on average 10% in 2009 compared with 2008. The industrial OE and industrial replacement markets were down around 25-35%, due to a combination of declining end customer demand and destocking. In the second half of the year, the markets began to stabilize, with some limited growth, particularly in the industrial replacement markets as demand improved and destocking eased. The European market followed a similar trend, with industrial production down 14%. Following a tough start to 2009, Asia continued to grow, particularly in China, where industrial production was up 12% in 2009. Japan performed poorly, with machine orders down 32% in 2009.

Table of Contents

The North American automotive aftermarket, remained broadly flat compared with 2008, assisted by lower gasoline prices in the U.S. and marginally higher car usage (as measured by the U.S. Department of Transport in terms of miles driven). A similar trend was seen in the European and Asian markets.

In the automotive OE market, volumes in the first half of 2009 were affected by extended plant shutdowns and consumer concerns over the viability of some automotive companies, particularly General Motors and Chrysler, who both filed for Chapter 11 protection (the recoverability of our receivables due from these companies was not affected by these filings). Automotive production was down around 30% globally in the first half of 2009 compared with 2008, with volumes in North America down approximately 50% and volumes in Europe down around 34%. Government stimulus plans mitigated the impact of the decline, particularly in Europe and Asia, where the stimulus plans ran for the majority of 2009. In the second half the year, production levels increased compared with the first half, with global volumes up 26%, North American volumes up 46% and European volumes up 13% due to lower inventory levels and higher demand.

Sales in our Power Transmission segment were $1,763.4 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $2,125.2 million for Fiscal 2008, a decline of 17.0%. Adjusted for the effect of adverse currency exchange rate fluctuations, sales declined by $211.2 million compared with Fiscal 2008, primarily as a result of lower volumes in most of the Power Transmission segment’s end markets in the regions in which it operates. Notable exceptions were China, which performed well during 2009, showing double digit percentage growth, and the Gates automotive aftermarket business (38% of Power Transmission’s sales for Fiscal 2009), which continued to demonstrate its resilience. Sales to the industrial OEM and industrial replacement end markets (23% of Power Transmission’s sales for Fiscal 2009) declined by 28% due to a decline in volumes and some destocking by our customers. Sales to the automotive OEM end market (39% of Power Transmission’s sales for Fiscal 2009) decreased approximately 20%, driven by lower automotive production levels, particularly in North America and Europe.

Operating profit in our Power Transmission segment was $143.0 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with a loss of $70.6 million for Fiscal 2008. Power Transmission’s operating result included restructuring costs of $75.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $13.8 million for Fiscal 2008, impairments of $23.2 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $284.6 million for Fiscal 2008 and a gain of $29.7 million on the amendment of post-employment benefits in Fiscal 2009. Restructuring costs recognized in the first half of 2009 were primarily related to the cessation of manufacturing operations in Aachen, Germany, and the closure of the facilities in Mississauga and London, Canada and FormFlo in the U.K. Restructuring costs for Fiscal 2008 were primarily related to the closure of the manufacturing facility in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Impairments recognized in Fiscal 2009 arose as a consequence of restructuring initiatives. During Fiscal 2008, Power Transmission recognized a $194.6 million impairment of goodwill and a further $90.0 million impairment of property, plant and equipment due to the significant deterioration of the North American automotive OE and industrial end markets.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Power Transmission segment was $295.8 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $333.0 million for Fiscal 2008, a decline of 11.2%. Adjusted EBITDA margin increased to 12.0% in Fiscal 2009, compared with 10.7% in Fiscal 2008.

Adjusted for the effect of adverse currency exchange rate fluctuations, sales declined by $210.0 million compared with Fiscal 2008. Sales to the industrial OEM market (27% of Fluid Power’s sales for Fiscal 2009) were down 46% compared with Fiscal 2008 due to continued severely depressed industrial activity caused by the global economic recession. Sales to the industrial replacement end market were down 24% for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008 due to a decline in volumes and some destocking by our customers. Overall, sales increased by 8.8% in the second half of 2009 compared with the first half, due to more stable market conditions and a reduction in destocking by our customers.

Our Fluid Power segment incurred an operating loss of $22.8 million in Fiscal 2009 compared with an operating profit of $29.0 million for Fiscal 2008. Fluid Power’s operating result included restructuring costs of $26.0 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $1.9 million for Fiscal 2008, impairments of $12.5 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $11.7 million for Fiscal 2008 and a gain on the amendment of post-employment benefits of $31.4 million for Fiscal 2009. Restructuring costs recognized in Fiscal 2009 principally related to the cessation of hose manufacturing activities in Erembodegem, Belgium and the substantial closure of an assembly facility in St. Neots, U.K. Impairments recognized in Fiscal 2009 arose as a consequence of restructuring initiatives. Impairments recognized in Fiscal 2008 were related to the property, plant and equipment of certain of the Fluid Power segment’s businesses in Europe.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Fluid Power segment was $18.8 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $79.3 million for Fiscal 2008, the decline being principally due to the significant reduction in sales volumes and initiatives to reduce inventory levels. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 3.2% in Fiscal 2009, compared with 9.5% in Fiscal 2008.

Adjusted for the effect of adverse currency exchange rate fluctuations, sales fell by $64.6 million compared with Fiscal 2008, primarily as a result of lower volumes in the automotive OE end market (74% of Sensors & Valves’ sales for Fiscal 2009). Schrader International’s automotive aftermarket business, which accounts for the remainder of the Sensors & Valves segment’s sales, was affected by low customer demand and declined compared with 2008.

Our Sensors and Valves segment incurred an operating loss of $3.5 million in Fiscal 2009 compared with an operating profit of $27.7 million for Fiscal 2008. Sensors & Valves’ operating result included restructuring costs of $3.2 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $0.2 million for Fiscal 2008 and impairments of $1.1 million for Fiscal 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Sensors & Valves segment was $25.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $56.5 million for Fiscal 2008, the decline being principally due to lower sales volumes. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 8.2% in Fiscal 2009 compared with 13.4% in Fiscal 2008.

Restructuring costs recognized in Fiscal 2009 were primarily related to the closure of Ideal’s manufacturing facility at St. Augustine, Florida and the rationalization of Dexter’s manufacturing facilities.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Other I&A segment was $41.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $61.9 million for Fiscal 2008, the decline being principally due to significantly reduced sales volumes. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined to 9.0% in Fiscal 2009, compared with 10.3% in Fiscal 2008.

Building Products

Market Background

In the U.S., non-residential construction declined on a square foot basis by 46% in 2009 compared with 2008, and by 33% on a value basis (as measured by Dodge). Building Products’ key sector is offices followed by education, hospitals, public buildings and hotels. All of Building Products’ sectors declined, with office and hotels the worst affected, declining by around 60% in square footage compared with 2008. However, the public buildings sector rose by around 10% on a value basis compared with 2008. The U.S. Architectural Billings Index, which is regarded as a leading indicator of future commercial construction activity, remained under 50, indicating continuing contraction in activity. Office vacancy rates continued to rise.

The U.S. residential construction market declined by 39% in 2009 compared with 2008 to 554,000 housing starts (according to the NAHB), the fourth straight year of decline and a record low. In 2009, housing starts were over 70% lower than the peak of around 2 million units in 2005. Around the middle of 2009, the market stabilized at around 600,000 units on an annualized basis. Housing inventories fell throughout the year, reaching 8.1 months for new homes and 7.2 for existing homes. Home prices, as measured by the Case-Shiller Index, fell throughout the first half of 2009 but recovered in the second half, showing month-on-month gains from May to October. Existing home sales improved throughout 2009, achieving year-on-year increases from July onwards. The U.S. tax credit stimulus was in place for the majority of 2009 and provided some stability to the market.

After a strong start in the early part of Fiscal 2009, sales into the non-residential construction markets weakened as a result of the declining market conditions and consequently orders and backlogs continued to weaken throughout Fiscal 2009. As a result, sales in our non-residential businesses (72% of Air Distribution’s sales for Fiscal 2009) decreased by 21% for Fiscal 2009. Sales to the residential construction market (28% of Air Distribution’s sales for Fiscal 2009) declined in the first half of 2009 but stabilized in the second half of 2009. Overall, sales in our residential business were down 24% for Fiscal 2009 compared with Fiscal 2008.

Operating profit in our Air Distribution segment was $48.2 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $61.2 million for Fiscal 2008. Air Distribution’s operating result included restructuring costs of $5.1 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $3.6 million for Fiscal 2008 and impairments of $18.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $34.0 million for Fiscal 2008. Impairments recognized in Fiscal 2008 related to a decline in the U.S. residential construction end market.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Air Distribution segment was $105.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $132.7 million for Fiscal 2008, the decline being due principally due to reduced sales volumes in both the non-residential and residential construction end markets. However, the adjusted EBITDA margin increased slightly to 12.1% in Fiscal 2009, compared with 11.9% in Fiscal 2008.

Sales in our Bathware segment were $140.3 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $208.2 million for Fiscal 2008, a decline of 32.6%. Bathware sells primarily to the U.S. residential construction and remodeling markets, which continued to weaken, particularly in the first half of 2009.

Our Bathware segment incurred an operating loss of $12.8 million for Fiscal 2009 and a loss of $14.2 million for Fiscal 2008. Bathware’s operating result included restructuring costs of $1.6 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with $2.2 million for Fiscal 2008, as well as an impairment charge of $2.5 million for Fiscal 2009 which arose as a consequence of our restructuring initiatives.

Adjusted EBITDA in our Bathware segment was a loss of $0.1 million for Fiscal 2009 and a loss of $2.1 million for Fiscal 2008. Bathware benefited from our cost reduction and restructuring initiatives but this was partially offset by lower overhead absorption due to reduced production levels.

Corporate

Corporate costs were $32.2 million in Fiscal 2009 compared with $37.0 million in Fiscal 2008. Also, in Fiscal 2009, Corporate recognized an impairment of $15.5 million on receivables held in relation to the disposal of businesses in previous years.

Corporate incurred an adjusted EBITDA loss of $26.7 million for Fiscal 2009 compared with a loss of $27.8 million for Fiscal 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Background

Our primary liquidity and capital resource needs are for working capital, debt service requirements, capital expenditure, facility expansions and acquisitions. We expect to finance our cash requirements with cash on hand, cash flows from operations and, where necessary, borrowings under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facilities. Prior to the Acquisition, our liquidity and capital resource needs were the same in nature but debt servicing requirements were substantially lower and capital expenditure was not subject to any limitation (from Fiscal 2011 onwards, capital expenditure is limited to $175 million per year under the senior secured credit facilities). We have historically relied on our cash flow from operations and various debt and equity financings for liquidity.

Based on our current operations, we believe that cash on hand, together with cash flows from operations and available borrowings under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facilities, will be adequate to meet our cash requirements for the next twelve months. However, our ability to make scheduled payments of principal of, to pay interest on, and to refinance, our indebtedness, including the notes, to comply with the financial covenants under our debt agreements, and to fund our other liquidity requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to a number of factors some of which may be beyond our control, including general economic, financial and competitive factors.

Cash Flow

Cash generated from operations was $281.5 million for Fiscal 2010 compared with $532.1 million for Fiscal 2009, a decline of $250.6 million.

During Fiscal 2010, cash generated from operations included a cash outflow of $114.4 million (Fiscal 2009: $nil) on transaction costs relating to business combinations and an outflow of $53.2 million (Fiscal 2009: $80.1 million) in relation to restructuring costs.

During Fiscal 2009, cash generated from operations benefited from a decline of $244.0 million in working capital, due largely to a reduction in inventory in response to declining sales volumes. During Fiscal 2010, however, cash generated from operations was adversely affected by an increase of $221.7 million in working capital (after adjusting for the uplift of $144.2 million to the carrying amount of inventory on the Acquisition), which was due principally to an increase in receivables and inventories resulting from the recovery in sales volumes. Excluding cash outflow on transaction costs relating to business combinations, restructurings costs and movements in working capital, operating cash flow was $670.8 million compared with $368.2 million in Fiscal 2009, an increase of $302.6 million, which was due largely to the improvement in our profitability as measured by adjusted EBITDA.

Gross capital expenditure was $155.9 million during Fiscal 2010, compared with $123.0 million for Fiscal 2009. Excluding the proceeds on asset sales arising from restructurings of $24.1 million (Fiscal 2009: $10.8 million), net capital expenditure for Fiscal 2010 was $152.7 million (Fiscal 2009: $120.9 million).

Treasury Management

Our central treasury function is responsible for procuring our financial resources and maintaining an efficient capital structure, together with managing our liquidity, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures.

All treasury operations are conducted within strict policies and guidelines that are approved by the Board. Compliance with those policies and guidelines is monitored by the regular reporting of treasury activities to the Board.

A key element of our treasury philosophy is that funding, interest rate and currency decisions and the location of cash and debt balances are determined independently from each other. Our borrowing requirements are met by raising funds in the most favorable markets. Management aims to retain a portion of net debt in the foreign currencies in which the net assets of our operations are denominated. The desired currency profile of net debt is achieved by entering into currency derivative contracts.

Management does not hedge the proportion of foreign operations effectively funded by shareholders’ equity. While the net income of foreign operations is not hedged, the effect of currency fluctuations on our reported net income is partly offset by interest payable on net debt denominated in foreign currencies.

From time to time, we also enter into currency derivative contracts to manage currency transaction exposures.

Where necessary, the desired interest rate profile of net debt in each currency is achieved by entering into interest rate derivative contracts.

Our portfolio of cash and cash equivalents is managed such that there is no significant concentration of credit risk in any one bank or other financial institution. Management monitors closely the credit quality of the institutions with which it holds deposits. Similar considerations are given to our portfolio of derivative financial instruments.

Our borrowing facilities are monitored against forecast requirements and timely action is taken to put in place, renew or replace credit lines. Management’s policy is to reduce liquidity risk by diversifying our funding sources and by staggering the maturity of its borrowings.

We have established credit ratings of Ba3 Stable with Moody’s and BB- Negative with Standard & Poor’s. Credit ratings are subject to regular review by the credit rating agencies and may change in response to economic and commercial developments.

An analysis of our exposure to liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk is presented in note 34 to the consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this prospectus.

Borrowings

As at December 31, 2010, our borrowings principally consisted of two term loans under the senior secured credit facilities and the notes that were issued to finance the Acquisition.

Secured Borrowings

The senior secured credit facilities and the notes were issued by Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC, which are both wholly owned subsidiaries of Holdings, and are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Holdings and certain other of Holdings’wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). An analysis of the security given is presented in note 47 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Bank Loans

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

We have senior secured credit facilities consisting of a Term Loan A credit facility, a Term Loan B credit facility and a senior secured revolving credit facility.

We initially borrowed $300.0 million under the Term Loan A credit facility and $1,700.0 million under the Term Loan B credit facility. On December 29, 2010, we prepaid $4.0 million against the Term Loan A credit facility and $22.7 million against the Term Loan B credit facility. As at December 31, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A credit facility was $296.0 million and that under the Term Loan B credit facility was $1,677.3 million.

The revolving credit facility provides for multi-currency revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100.0 million. As at December 31, 2010, there were no drawings for cash under the revolving credit facility but there were letters of credit outstanding amounting to $40.3 million.

Subject to certain conditions, the revolving credit facility may be increased by up to $100.0 million and the Term Loan B credit facility increased by, or new term loan facilities established up to, $400.0 million (less any increase in the revolving credit facility).

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or, at our option, a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable

Table of Contents

margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan B credit facility is 4.5% per annum for LIBOR and 3.5% per annum for base rate. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility is between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum for LIBOR and 2.75% and 3.25% per annum for base rate depending on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio. LIBOR is subject to a 1.75% floor and base rate is subject to a 2.75% floor. As at December 31, 2010, borrowings under the Term Loan A credit facility attracted an interest rate of 6.0% per annum and those under the Term Loan B credit facility attracted an interest rate of 6.25% per annum (in both cases, to be next re-set on March 31, 2011). Each letter of credit issued under the revolving credit facility attracts a participation fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin under the revolving credit facility to the maximum amount available to be drawn and a fronting fee of the greater of 0.25% of the maximum amount available to be drawn and $1,500 per annum. An unused line fee of 0.75% per annum is based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility (which may decrease to 0.5% per annum based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio).

The Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility mature on September 29, 2015 and the Term Loan B credit facility matures on September 29, 2016. The Term Loan A credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 2.5% and the Term Loan B credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25%, in each case based on the original principal amount less certain prepayments and commencing on March 31, 2011 with the balance payable on maturity.

We may voluntarily prepay loans or reduce commitments under the senior secured credit facilities, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts without premium or penalty, other than in the case of certain re-pricing transactions with respect to the Term Loan B credit facility prior to September 29, 2011, which shall be subject to a 1% premium. If we prepay LIBOR rate loans other than at the end of an applicable interest period, it is required to reimburse the lenders for any consequential losses or expenses. We must prepay the Term Loan A credit facility and Term Loan B credit facility with net cash proceeds of asset sales, casualty and condemnation events, incurrence of indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred) and a percentage of excess cash flow based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio, in each case subject to certain exceptions such as reinvestment rights.

On February 11, 2011, we agreed with the providers of the senior secured credit facilities a re-pricing of Term Loan A and Term Loan B and amendments to certain of the covenants attaching to the facilities. It was agreed that for both Term Loan A and Term Loan B the applicable margin for LIBOR will be reduced to 3.0% per annum, with LIBOR being subject to a 1.25% floor, and the applicable margin for base rate will be reduced to 2.0% per annum, with base rate being subject to a 2.25% floor. The re-pricing became effective on February 17, 2011 and attracted a one-off premium payment by us of $16.8 million.

Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility

As at January 2, 2010, Tomkins had in place a £400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and had in place a $450 million forward-start facility that commenced on the expiry of the existing facility in August 2010 and was itself due to expire in May 2012. Borrowings under the facility attracted interest at floating rates determined by reference to LIBOR. As at January 2, 2010 and during 9M 2010, there were no drawings against the facility, which was replaced by the senior secured credit facilities on the Acquisition.

Other borrowings

Second Lien Notes

On September 29, 2010, we issued the $1,150.0 million notes.

At any time prior to October 1, 2014, we may redeem the notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount and (ii) the excess of the present value at the redemption date of the redemption price as at October 1, 2014 and the required interest payments due from the redemption date to October 1, 2014 (discounted using an appropriate U.S. Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points) over the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

At any time, or from time to time, prior to October 1, 2013, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, we may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to October 1, 2013, we may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) with the net cash proceeds of equity offerings by Top Co-op, Holdings’ immediate and ultimate parent entity, or certain of its subsidiaries at a redemption price of 109% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes remain outstanding after each such redemption (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) and we satisfy certain other conditions.

In the event of a change of control over Holdings, each holder will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, except to the extent that we have previously elected to redeem the notes.

2011 Notes and 2015 Notes

When it was acquired by the Group, Tomkins had outstanding the £150 million 2011 Notes and the £250 million 2015 Notes.

Each of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes contain a put option giving the holders the option to put their notes to the relevant issuer at par plus accrued interest in the event of a change of control or certain acquisitions and disposals and, in either case, a ratings downgrade occurring as a result of such transaction.

On September 13, 2010, we offered to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.787% (plus accrued and unpaid interest) and the outstanding 2015 Notes at a price of 100.50% (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £40.9 million of the 2011 Notes and £109.3 million of the 2015 Notes. On October 6, 2010, the purchase was completed for total consideration of £153.1 million (plus accrued interest of £3.0 million).

On November 19, 2010, we notified holders of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes that the credit rating of the notes had been withdrawn by Moody’s and downgraded by Standard & Poor’s as a consequence of the Acquisition and that this constituted a put event entitling the holders to redeem the notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Put notices were received in respect of £2.1 million of the 2011 Notes and £123.5 million of the 2015 Notes. Settlement took place on December 17, 2010 for total consideration of £125.6 million (plus accrued interest of £2.0 million).

As at December 31, 2010, the principal amount of the outstanding 2011 Notes was £107.0 million and that of the 2015 Notes was £17.2 million.

On December 30, 2010, we made a further offer to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.00% (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £4.9 million of the 2011 Notes. Settlement took place on January 19, 2011 and the principal amount of the outstanding 2011 Notes was thereby reduced to £102.1 million.

Loan Note Alternative

Under the terms of the Acquisition, certain shareholders in Tomkins Limited elected to receive loan notes rather than cash in respect of all or part of the consideration payable on the purchase of their shares in Tomkins Limited, subject to a maximum aggregate amount of £50 million (the “Loan Note Alternative”). As at December 31, 2010, loan notes with a principal amount of £29.0 million were outstanding under the Loan Note Alternative. The loan notes accrue interest at the higher of 0.8% below LIBOR and 0% (to be next re-set on July 1, 2011).

The loan notes fall due for repayment, at par, on December 31, 2015. From June 30, 2011 until December 31, 2015, each holder has the right to require full or part repayment, at par, half-yearly on June 30 and December 31 and for this reason these loan notes are classified as current liabilities. At any time on or after six months after the date of issue of the loan notes, we may purchase any of the loan notes at any price by tender, private treaty or otherwise.

Although the loan notes are unsecured, we are required to retain in an escrow account cash equivalent to the nominal amount of the outstanding loan notes.

Seasonality of Borrowings

We operate in a wide range of markets and geographic locations and, as a result, there is little seasonality in our borrowing requirements. Fluctuations in our borrowings are caused principally by the timing of capital expenditure and interest payments.

Subsequent to the Acquisition, when our borrowings increased substantially, the principal amount of our borrowings decreased from $3,842.8 million to stand at $3,367.5 million as at December 31, 2010.

Borrowing Headroom

As at December 31, 2010, our committed revolving credit facility of $300.0 million was undrawn for cash but there were letters of credit outstanding against the facility amounting to $40.3 million. Also, we have drawn $7.2 million against uncommitted borrowing facilities and had outstanding performance bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees amounting to $66.0 million (in addition to those outstanding under the revolving credit facility).

Overall, therefore, our committed borrowing headroom was $186.5 million, in addition to cash balances of $506.3 million (including collateralized cash of $47.0 million).

Borrowing Covenants

We are subject to covenants, representations and warranties in respect of the senior secured credit facilities including two financial covenants as defined in the credit agreement that were tested for the first time for the covenant test period ended December 31, 2010. Firstly, the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “total leverage ratio”) must not exceed 6.1 times (for the covenant test period ended December 31, 2010, the ratio was 4.23 times). Secondly, the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest (the “interest coverage ratio”) must not be less than 1.8 times (for the covenant test period ended December 31, 2010, the ratio was 5.48 times).

Going forward, the compliance with these financial covenants will be tested for a period to the end of each calendar quarter. The limits against which the financial covenants are tested become progressively stricter for each test period until December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the total leverage ratio must not exceed 5.25 times and the interest coverage ratio must not be less than 2.1 times.

The limits for the forthcoming year are set out below:

Any future non-compliance with the borrowing covenants could, if not waived, constitute an event of default and may, in certain circumstances, lead to an acceleration of the maturity of borrowings drawn down and the inability to access committed facilities.

Cash Balances

We manage our cash balances such that there is no significant concentration of credit risk in any one bank or other financial institution. We monitor closely the quality of the institutions that hold our deposits. Similar considerations are given to our portfolio of derivative financial instruments. As at December 31, 2010 95% of our cash balances were held with institutions rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s and P-1 by Moody’s.

Our central treasury function is responsible for maximizing the return on surplus cash balances within the constraints of our liquidity and credit policy. We achieve this, where possible, by controlling directly all surplus cash balances and pooling arrangements on an ongoing basis and by reviewing the efficiency of all other cash balances across our businesses on a weekly basis.

Our policy is to apply funds from one part of our business to meet the obligations of another, wherever possible, in order to ensure maximum efficiency in the use of our funds. No material restrictions apply that limit the application of this policy.

As at December 31, 2010, cash balances amounted to $459.3 million, of which $348.8 million was interest-bearing. All interest bearing deposits attract interest at floating rates. As at December 31, 2010, the weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing cash balances was 1.0%.

Goodwill recognized on the Acquisition is provisional because management has been unable to finalize its assessment of the fair values at the acquisition date of certain identifiable intangible assets and items of property, plant and equipment, but expects to complete the assessment during the first half of 2011.

Goodwill is principally attributable to expected future opportunities to increase sales and further enhance margins by further developing Tomkins’ product range and service capabilities (with an emphasis on the growing markets for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly products), extending Tomkins’ global presence by further penetrating markets in the emerging economies, and by pursuing performance improvement initiatives. Of the goodwill recognized as at December 31, 2010, $1,540.0 million is allocated to I&A (of which $1,109.6 million is allocated to the Power Transmission operating segment) and $205.4 million is allocated to Building Products.

Further details on the accounting for Acquisition are provided in note 41 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Other intangible assets

As at January 2, 2010, the carrying amount of other intangible assets was $78.0 million. During 9M 2010, we recognized additions of $12.6 million and incurred amortization of $17.0 million. As a result of the accounting for the Acquisition, we recognized a fair value uplift of $2,227.8 million to the carrying amount of the identifiable intangible assets held by Tomkins (which principally comprised brands and trade names, customer relationships and technology and know-how). During Q4 2010, the amortization expense recognized in respect of other intangible assets was $44.2 million. As at December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of other intangible assets was $2,268.5 million, that were initially recognized at their fair values on the Acquisition.

Applied research and development is important to our manufacturing businesses and there are centers in the U.S., Europe and Japan that focus on the introduction of new and improved products, the application of technology to reduce unit and operating costs and to improve services to customers. During Fiscal 2010, pro forma research and development expenditure was $85.9 million (Fiscal 2009: $78.6 million), of which $2.8 million (Fiscal 2009: $0.6 million) was capitalized.

Property, plant and equipment

As at January 2, 2010, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was $1,122.8 million. During 9M 2010, we recognized additions of $99.8 million and incurred a depreciation expense of $120.1 million. As a

result of the accounting for the Acquisition, we recognized a fair value uplift of $260.2 million to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment held by Tomkins. Additions during Q4 2010 were $60.4 million and the depreciation expense for the period was $54.0 million. As at December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment was $1,359.1 million, including $4.2 million held under finance leases.

Our manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and offices are located in a number of countries, with a large proportion in North America. We own the majority of these facilities and continues to improve and replace them to meet the needs of its individual operations. As at December 31, 2010, I&A operated from 145 facilities in 25 countries, and Building Products operated from 62 facilities, predominantly in North America. As at December 31, 2010, the geographic analysis of our property, plant and equipment was as follows:

Due to the diverse nature of our business, there was no individual facility, the loss of which would have a material adverse impact on our operations. Equally, there are no plans to construct, expand or improve facilities that would, on completion or cancellation, significantly affect our operations.

Post-employment benefits

Pensions

We operate a number of defined benefit pension plans, principally in the U.K. and the U.S., of which most are funded. All of the plans are closed to new entrants. During Fiscal 2009, management closed the principal pension plans in North America to future service accrual and the deferred pension benefits accrued under them were frozen. As a result, most of our pension plans are now closed to future service accrual by current employees. Funded plans receive contributions from us and, where they remain eligible, current employees, at rates that are determined by independent actuaries taking into account any funding objectives prescribed by local legislation.

As at December 31, 2010, the present value of the benefit obligation was $1,128.5 million (January 2, 2010: $1,116.0 million). Excluding the effects of currency exchange rate changes, the obligation increased by $20.6 million during Fiscal 2010.

As at December 31, 2010, the fair value of the plan assets was $1,011.1 million (January 2, 2010: $924.5 million). Excluding the effect of currency exchange rate changes, the plan assets increased by $95.4 million during Fiscal 2010.

On an actuarial basis, the net deficit in the plan was $117.4 million (January 2, 2009: $191.5 million) but, for accounting purposes, we were unable to recognize surpluses on certain of the plans amounting to $28.2 million (January 2, 2010: $8.6 million). Accordingly, the net pension liability recognized in the consolidated financial statements was $145.6 million (January 2, 2010: $200.1 million).

During Fiscal 2010, we contributed $44.0 million (Fiscal 2009: $52.7 million) to the defined benefit plans and expect to contribute approximately $46.9 million to them during 2011. Additionally, following negotiations with the trustees and regulatory authorities in connection with the Acquisition, we agreed to make one-off contributions amounting to $23.0 million to certain defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. and the U.K., of which $5.0 million was paid to the U.S. plans during Q4 2010 and $18.0 million was paid to the U.K. plans in January 2011, and agreed to forego optional short-term pension funding relief in the U.S. amounting to approximately $35.0 million.

Management of the risks associated with our defined benefit pension plans is the responsibility of our treasury function. Our primary objective is to identify and manage the risks associated with both the assets and liabilities of the defined benefit pension plans and we continue to work with the trustees of our pension plans to improve the management of our defined benefit pension risks.

The principal risks affecting the present value of the benefit obligation are: interest rate risk, inflation risk and mortality risk.

Management of the plan assets is the responsibility of trustee boards, over which we have varying degrees of influence depending on local regulations. We have made the trustee boards aware of its preference that, where plan assets are invested so as to match the cash flow and risk profiles of the benefit obligations, these arrangements are effective, and that other plan assets not so invested are held in investment grade bonds or broad-based local equity indices.

For some years, our U.S. plans have hedged the interest rate risk implicit in their benefit obligations. As at December 31, 2010, the benefit obligation of the funded U.S. plans amounted to $572.9 million, of which 96.7% was hedged using a combination of bonds and interest rate swaps with an average duration of 10.2 years.

For our business as a whole, we estimate that a 0.5% decrease in market interest rates would increase the benefit obligation by 3.6%, or $40.2 million. Only 9.2% of the benefit obligation of $1,128.5 million as at December 31, 2010 is exposed to future salary increases. We estimate that a 0.5% increase in the salary scale would increase the benefit obligation by $0.3 million.

Unless the benefit obligation is subject to a buy-out or buy-in, it is not practical to mitigate the effects of mortality risk. We estimate that if the average life expectancy of plan members increased by one year at age 65, the benefit obligation would increase by 2.6%, or $29.2 million.

During Fiscal 2010, the expense recognized in relation to defined contribution pension plans was $31.2 million (Fiscal 2009: $33.4 million).

Other benefits

We provide other post-employment benefits, principally health and life insurance cover, to certain of its employees in North America through a number of unfunded plans. During Fiscal 2009, management closed the Gates plan in the U.S. to new retirees and reduced the benefits payable to existing beneficiaries.

As at December 31, 2010, the liability recognized in respect of these plans was $130.0 million (January 2, 2010: $142.1 million). Excluding the effect of currency exchange rate changes, the liability increased by $9.3 million during Fiscal 2010.

Table of Contents

Benefits paid during Fiscal 2010 were $14.8 million (Fiscal 2009: $14.9 million).

Taxation

As at December 31, 2010, we recognized income tax liabilities amounting to $106.8 million (January 2, 2010: $94.7 million). Income tax recoverable was $11.0 million (January 2, 2010: $49.0 million).

As at December 31, 2010, we recognized a net deferred tax liability of $783.7 million (January 2, 2010: net deferred tax asset of $57.6 million), the change being principally due to the recognition of deferred tax on the fair value uplifts to the carrying amounts of long-lived assets on the Acquisition. Deferred tax assets of $825.1 million (January 2, 2010: $783.7 million) were not recognized in respect of tax losses and credits carried forward because it is not considered probable that taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized.

As at December 31, 2010, deferred tax liabilities were not recognized on temporary differences amounting to $1,375.0 million associated with investments in subsidiaries. Deferred tax liabilities were not recognized on these temporary differences because we are able to control the timing of their reversal and it is probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future. Income tax may be payable on these temporary differences if circumstances change, for example on the repatriation of assets from the subsidiaries concerned or on the sale or liquidation of one or more of them.

Receipts and payments on foreign currency derivatives are estimated based on market exchange rates prevailing as at December 31, 2010.

(4) 

Post-employment benefit obligations represent our expected cash contributions to its defined benefit plans in 2011. It is not practicable to present expected cash contributions for subsequent years because they are determined annually on an actuarial basis to provide for current and future benefits.

(5) 

A “purchase obligation” is an agreement to purchase goods or services that is enforceable and legally-binding on us and that specifies all significant terms, including: the fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction.

(6) 

We have not included in the table our income tax liabilities because it is not practicable to reliably estimate the timing of the related cash outflows in future years as these cash flows will only be determined after final audit by the tax authorities of previously-filed tax returns.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We have not entered into any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement that is considered to be an off balance sheet arrangement that is required to be disclosed other than operating lease commitments that are analyzed in note 44 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various types of market risks including the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, adverse movements in commodity prices for products we use in our manufacturing and adverse changes in interest rates. To reduce our exposure to these risks, we maintain risk management controls and policies to monitor these risks and take appropriate actions to attempt to mitigate such forms of market risks.

The disclosure below is our general quantitative and qualitative risk after conclusion of the Transactions. Further information and quantitative analysis is included in footnote 34 of the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Foreign currency exchange rate risks. We have global operations and thus make investments and enter into transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. Our operating results are impacted by buying, selling and financing in currencies other than the functional currency of our operating companies. From time to time, we may enter into currency derivative contracts to manage currency transaction exposures.

Interest rate risk. We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our long-term debt. Our principal interest rate exposure after the consummation of the Transactions relates to outstanding amounts under our senior secured credit facilities. Our senior secured credit facilities provide for variable rate borrowings of up to $2,300.0 million including availability of $300.0 million under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility.

Commodity price risk. We purchase certain raw materials that are subject to price volatility caused by fluctuations in supply and demand as well as other factors. To help mitigate the impact of higher commodity prices we have multiple-source and geographically diverse procurement policies and have negotiated fixed price supply contracts with many of our commodity suppliers. In addition, we continue to negotiate with our customers to provide for the sharing of increased raw material costs. From time to time, we may enter into commodity contracts to manage our exposure to changes in commodity prices.

Seasonality

Industrial & Automotive

Sales to automotive OEMs do not tend to exhibit seasonal patterns while sales into the aftermarket are generally stronger during the winter months reflecting higher levels of demand for replacement parts for vehicles during those months. Sales to Industrial OEMs are strongest from October to April for outdoor power equipment and from February to June for agricultural equipment.

For the Fluid Power segment, moderate seasonality is primarily driven by consumer demand and crop-related seasonal activities. Production of construction equipment declines in the summer months followed by a resurgence of activity in the late fall, early winter and spring. The remaining markets served by the Fluid Power segment do not exhibit significant seasonal patterns.

Building Products

Sales to the construction industry generally slow down in November and December before the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year holiday season and are generally stronger in the spring and summer months. Sales can also be affected regionally by severe weather. Heating product sales are more concentrated in the fall and cooling product sales in the spring.

Inflation

Inflation affects the cost of raw materials, goods and services we use. High energy costs and fluctuations in commodity prices can affect the cost of all raw materials and components. We seek to mitigate the adverse effects of inflation primarily through arrangements with our customers, improved productivity and strategic buying initiatives and have historically been able to pass on cost increases to our customers as a result of rising prices for our material inputs.

Sales

Sales in Q1 2011 were $1,342.9 million compared with $1,165.9 million on both an actual and pro forma basis in Q1 2010, an increase of 15.2%. I&A’s sales were 18.4% higher compared with Q1 2010, due mainly to improvements in the industrial OE and replacement markets and the automotive OE markets. Sales to the industrial markets grew by 28.1%, with sales to the Automotive OE markets growing by 15.2%. Sales to the automotive aftermarket increased by 10.0% during Q1 2011 compared with Q1 2010. Building Products’ sales for Q1 2011 were up by 2.1% compared with Q1 2010, as sales growth to the non-residential construction markets combined with the impact of the acquisition of Koch Filter (which was completed on February 26, 2010) offset the continued weakness in the construction markets, particularly the residential construction markets.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales was $923.8 million compared with $801.9 million in Q1 2010. Pro forma cost of sales in Q1 2010 was $812.6 million. The increase of 13.7% in Q1 2011 compared with pro forma Q1 2010 was driven principally by higher production volumes.

Table of Contents

Gross Profit

Gross profit was $419.1 million compared with $364.0 million in Q1 2010. Pro forma gross profit in Q1 2010 was $353.3 million. Our gross profit margin was 31.2% in Q1 2011, broadly unchanged compared with pro forma Q1 2010.

Distribution Costs

Distribution costs increased largely in line with the increase in sales volumes to $140.6 million from $125.7 million on both an actual and pro forma basis in Q1 2010. Efficiency gains in I&A drove the slight improvement in distribution costs as a percentage of sales from 10.8% in Q1 2010 to 10.5% in Q1 2011.

Administrative Expenses

Administrative expenses were $184.3 million compared with $112.9 million in Q1 2010. Pro forma administrative expenses in Q1 2010 were $150.5 million. Administrative expenses in Q1 2011 were higher than on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010 principally because the compensation expense that was recognized in Q1 2011 in relation to the new share schemes that were put in place after the Acquisition was $22.8 million higher than that recognized in Q1 2010 on the Predecessor schemes that were operated by Tomkins. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 12.9% on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010 to 13.7% in Q1 2011.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs were $5.4 million compared with $1.9 million on both an actual and pro forma basis in Q1 2010. Restructuring costs amounting to $15.7 million were recognized during Q1 2011, principally in relation to a Group-wide initiative that focuses on identifying and implementing cost reduction opportunities and efficiency improvements. Also during Q1 2011, a provision for restructuring costs of $10.3 million was released due to the reversal of the decision to close a division of Stackpole, a business included within the Power Transmission operating segment, following the recovery in the demand for its products.

Operating Profit

Operating profit was $88.9 million compared with $125.0 million in Q1 2010. Pro forma operating profit in Q1 2010 was $76.7 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA was $213.2 million compared with $174.0 million in Q1 2010. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA in Q1 2010 was $173.6 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin improved to 15.9% compared with 14.9% on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010, reflecting increased cost absorption due to higher production levels driven by improved end markets, the benefit of restructuring initiatives and continuing efforts to control costs.

A reconciliation of operating profit or loss to adjusted EBITDA for each of the periods under review is presented under the heading “—Non-GAAP Measures.”

On a pro forma basis, we recognized an income tax benefit of $10.5 million on a profit before tax of $0.1 million in Q1 2010.

Our effective tax rate in Q1 2011 was significantly higher than the statutory tax rates that are applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate, principally due to the non-deductibility for tax purposes of the compensation

Analysis by Ongoing Business Segment

Industrial & Automotive

Market Background

During Q1 2011, the industrial markets accounted for 42.0% of I&A sales, with 21.1% to the industrial OE market and 20.9% to the industrial replacement market.

US industrial production, as measured by the US Federal Reserve Industrial Production index, grew throughout the first three months of 2011 and stood 5.9% higher in March 2011 compared with the three months to March 2010. The European industrial production index followed a similar trend. Industrial markets in Asia continued to perform strongly, with industrial production in China growing by 14% in the two months to the end of February 2011 (as measured by the National Bureau of Statistics of China). Sales to the industrial markets in North America, Europe and Asia accounted for 25.4%, 7.0% and 5.7% respectively of I&A’s sales during Q1 2011.

The automotive aftermarket, which comprised 25.1% of I&A’s sales in the first three months of 2011, grew strongly in the period driven by improved consumer confidence and underlying trends. In the US, miles driven, a key driver of vehicle repair, was up by 0.6% in the two months to February 2011 compared with the corresponding period in 2010 and the average vehicle age, which also drives replacement spending, increased during 2010.

In the automotive OE market, which accounted for 30.5% of I&A’s Q1 2011 sales, production volumes were up by 8% globally compared with Q1 2010, with March year-to-date volumes in North America up by 14%, Europe up by 6% and Asia up by 7%, compared with the corresponding period in 2010.

Sales in Q1 2011 were $592.7 million (Q1 2010: $519.2 million), an increase of 14.2%. Sales were higher principally due to the strengthening of sales to the industrial OE and replacement markets (27.5% of Power Transmission’s sales) particularly in North America, Europe and Asia driven by a continuation of the global economic recovery. Overall, sales to the industrial markets were 27.5% higher compared with Q1 2010. Sales to the higher margin automotive aftermarket (32.3% of Power Transmission’s sales) grew by 7.2% compared with Q1 2010, principally due to positive trends in miles driven, the ageing of the car population, and consumer confidence in the US. Sales to the automotive OE market (40.2% of Power Transmission’s sales) grew by 12.0% in Q1 2011 compared with Q1 2010, driven by the continued recovery in automotive production, principally in North America.

Operating profit in our Power Transmission segment was $74.4 million for Q1 2011 (Q1 2010: $90.6 million). Pro forma operating profit in Q1 2010 was $57.7 million. Depreciation and amortization amounted to $55.2 million in Q1 2011 compared with $52.7 million in pro forma Q1 2010. In Q1 2011, the compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives was $2.6 million compared with $0.4 million on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA was $130.1 million for Q1 2011 compared with $110.6 million on both an actual and a pro forma basis in Q1 2010. The adjusted EBITDA margin increased slightly to 22.0% compared with 21.3% in Q1 2010, principally as a result of higher cost absorption on the increased sales across all end markets and the benefits of the remaining restructuring initiatives completed in 2010.

Building Products

Market Background

Non-residential construction in North America accounts for 61.7% of Building Products’ Q1 2011 sales. In the US, non-residential construction declined on a square foot basis by 10% for the three months to the end of March 2011 compared with the three months to the end of March 2010, and by 14% on a dollar value basis (as measured by Dodge). The US Architectural Billings Index, which is regarded as a leading indicator of future commercial construction activity, remained around 50, indicating neither growth nor contraction in future construction activity. Office vacancy rates continued to decline, reaching 16.5% in the first quarter of 2011, down from 16.7% at the end of 2010.

Residential construction in North America accounts for 30.9% of Building Products’ Q1 2011 sales. The US residential construction market continues to be weak, with seasonally adjusted annualized housing starts standing at 549,000 at the end of March, down from 587,000 at the end of December 2010. Overall, housing starts have declined by 9% in the first three months of 2011 compared with the prior year (according to the National Association of Homebuilders). Housing inventories, at 7.3 months for new homes and 8.4 months for existing homes still remain above the level at which new construction is initiated.

Table of Contents

Sales were $207.3 million (Q1 2010: $197.4 million), an increase of 5.0%. Sales to the non-residential construction markets, which accounted for 77.8% of Air Distribution’s Q1 2011 sales, improved year-on-year as a result of higher volumes in the non-residential construction market, combined with the impact of the acquisition of Koch Filter during Q1 2010.

Sales to the residential construction market, which accounted for 22.2% of Air Distribution’s Q1 2011 sales, declined by 2.4% in the first three months of 2011 due to the continued weakness of the residential construction market. Residential construction activity declined year-on-year and continues to be adversely affected by high levels of housing inventory, declining house prices and low demand.

Operating profit in our Air Distribution segment was $8.0 million for Q1 2011 (Q1 2010: $15.6 million). Pro forma operating profit for Q1 2010 was $11.6 million. Depreciation and amortization amounted to $11.2 million in both Q1 2011 and on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010. Air Distribution’s operating result included a compensation expense in respect of share-based incentives of $2.6 million for Q1 2011 compared with $0.5 million in Q1 2010. No restructuring costs were recognized in Q1 2011, but costs of $0.6 million were recognized in Q1 2010.

Adjusted EBITDA was $21.8 million (Q1 2010: $23.9 million). Pro forma adjusted EBITDA for Q1 2010 was $24.0 million. The adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 10.5% compared with 12.2% on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010, primarily as a result of higher raw material costs.

We incurred an operating loss in our Bathware segment of $3.6 million for Q1 2011 (Q1 2010: operating loss of $1.9 million). The pro forma operating loss for Q1 2010 was $2.9 million. Depreciation and amortization amounted to $2.3 million in Q1 2011 compared with $2.8 million on a pro forma basis in Q1 2010. Bathware’s operating result for Q1 2011 included restructuring costs of $0.6 million, while no restructuring costs were incurred in Q1 2010.

Bathware incurred an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.6 million for Q1 2011 compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $0.1 million on both an actual and a pro forma basis in Q1 2010, the increased loss being largely as a result of the decline in sales volumes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

Cash generated from operations was $62.5 million in Q1 2011 compared with cash absorbed by operations of $22.9 million in Q1 2010. Operating cash flow before movements in working capital was $173.5 million compared with $135.2 million in Q1 2010, an increase of $38.3 million that was due largely to the improvement in the Group’s profitability as measured by adjusted EBITDA. Movements in working capital during Q1 2011 gave rise to a further improvement in cash generated from operations of $47.1 million compared with Q1 2010.

Cash outflow on restructurings was $7.3 million (Q1 2010: $13.9 million), net of proceeds on related asset sales of $4.3 million (Q1 2010: $6.1 million).

Gross capital expenditure was $32.2 million (Q1 2010: $25.6 million). Excluding the proceeds on asset sales arising from restructurings, net capital expenditure was $31.6 million (Q1 2010: $23.8 million).

Trading cash flow was $35.2 million (Q1 2010: outflow of $40.6 million).

A reconciliation of the carrying amount to the principal amount of our borrowings is presented in note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Re-pricing of Senior Secured Facilities

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or, at our option, a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin. LIBOR and the base rate are both subject to floors. On inception of the facilities, the applicable margin for the Term Loan B credit facility was 4.5% per annum for LIBOR and 3.5% per annum for base rate. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility was between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum for LIBOR and 2.75% and 3.25% per annum for base rate depending on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio. LIBOR was subject to a 1.75% floor and base rate was subject to a 2.75% floor. Effective February 17, 2011, we agreed with the providers of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities a re-pricing of Term Loan A and Term Loan B and amendments to certain of the covenants attaching to the facilities. For both Term Loan A and Term Loan B the applicable margin for LIBOR was reduced to 3.0% per annum, with LIBOR being subject to a 1.25% floor, and the applicable margin for base rate was reduced to 2.0% per annum, with base rate being subject to a 2.25% floor. Management considered that the re-pricing did not cause a substantial change in the net present value of the expected future cash flows in relation to the facilities. Accordingly, we recognized neither a gain nor a loss on the re-pricing and recognized the associated costs of $23.4 million and the decrease of $18.1 million in the interest rate floor liability as adjustments to the carrying amounts of the borrowings outstanding under the facilities.

Borrowing headroom

As at April 2, 2011, we committed revolving credit facility of $300.0 million was undrawn for cash but there were letters of credit outstanding against the facility amounting to $39.7 million. Also, we had drawn $4.9 million against uncommitted borrowing facilities and had outstanding performance bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees amounting to $67.9 million (in addition to those outstanding under the revolving credit facility).

Overall, therefore, our committed borrowing headroom was $187.5 million, in addition to cash balances of $376.4 million (including collateralized cash of $49.0 million).

Borrowing covenants

We are subject to covenants, representations and warranties in respect of the senior secured credit facilities including two financial covenants as defined in the credit agreement. Firstly, the ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated EBITDA (the “total leverage ratio”) must not exceed 6.1 times (for the covenant test period ended April 2, 2011, the ratio was 3.99 times). Secondly, the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest (the “interest coverage ratio”) must not be less than 1.8 times (for the covenant test period ended April 2, 2011, the ratio was 3.82 times).

Going forward, the compliance with these financial covenants will be tested for a period to the end of each calendar quarter. The limits against which the financial covenants are tested become progressively stricter for each test period until December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the total leverage ratio must not exceed 5.25 times and the interest coverage ratio must not be less than 2.1 times.

The limits for the forthcoming year are set out below:

Any future non-compliance with the borrowing covenants could, if not waived, constitute an event of default and may, in certain circumstances, lead to an acceleration of the maturity of borrowings drawn down and the inability to access committed facilities.

OUTLOOK

Our sales and earnings base is highly diversified by product, geography, end market and customer. We derive sales from nearly every developed country across the globe and are well-positioned in markets for our industrial and automotive components in most emerging markets.

Industrial & Automotive Markets

Industrial and automotive markets, which accounted for approximately 80% of pro forma sales in Fiscal 2010, are forecast to continue to grow in 2011. However, growth rates are expected to be lower in 2011 due to the strong performance of our end markets in 2010 and the absence in 2011 of the exceptional inventory restocking demand that we saw particularly in the first half of 2010. The following is a summary of our global outlook for I&A end markets in 2011:

 

   

Industrial OE markets are forecast to grow between 10 to 15%.

 

   

Industrial replacement markets are forecast to grow at the same pace as global industrial OE markets.

 

   

Global automotive OE markets are measured by vehicle production and are forecast by IHS/CSM to grow by 4.2% in 2011 to 74.8 million units.

Automotive aftermarkets, are forecast to grow between 3 to 4%, roughly at the same rate of growth as GDP in each of the respective markets.

Construction Markets

Construction markets in the U.S., which accounted for approximately 20% of our pro forma sales in Fiscal 2010, are expected to remain weak in the first half of the year while strengthening moderately in the second half. The following is a summary of our outlook for U.S. construction markets in 2011:

 

   

Non-residential construction markets are forecast by Dodge, to increase by 1% in 2011. However, as our products are installed later in the building process, we expect to lag the market in 2011 and forecast our non-residential sales to decline by approximately 8%.

 

   

Residential construction markets are measured by U.S. housing starts and are forecast to be flat in 2011, at around 600,000 housing starts. We expect that the market will improve in the second half of 2011 compared with the first half.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. As with any set of assumptions and estimates, there is a range of reasonably likely amounts that may be reported.

The following critical accounting policies have been identified as those that affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might be impaired. Additionally, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are subject to an annual impairment test. Due to the nature of our operations, it is generally not possible to estimate the recoverable amount for individual long-lived assets and impairment tests are usually based on the value in use of the CGU or group of CGUs to which the asset belongs.

Value in use represents the net present value of the cash flows expected to arise from the relevant CGU or group of CGUs and its calculation requires management to estimate those cash flows and to apply a suitable discount rate to them.

Management bases the estimated cash flows of the CGU or group of CGUs on assumptions such as the future changes in sales volumes, future changes in selling prices, and future changes in material prices, salaries and other costs. Management determines a discount rate for each CGU or group of CGUs using a capital asset pricing model, which is based on variables including the applicable risk-free interest rates and, for determining the cost of equity, the long-term equity risk premium and the assumed share price volatility relative to the market and, for determining the cost of debt, the assumed credit risk spreads.

As at December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of long-lived assets was $5,373.0 million. Impairment losses may be recognized on these assets within the next financial year if there are adverse changes in the variables and assumptions underlying the estimated future cash flows of the CGUs or the discount rates that are applied to those cash flows. The sensitivity of the carrying amount of goodwill to the key assumptions underlying the value in use calculations is discussed in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this prospectus.

Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with due allowance for excess, obsolete or slow-moving items. Net realizable value is based on current assessments of future demand, market conditions and new product development initiatives. As at December 31, 2010, the carrying value of inventories was $693.5 million, net of allowances of $7.9 million. Should demand for our products decline during the next financial year, additional allowances may be necessary in respect of excess or slow-moving items.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date. The fair value of derivatives continually changes in response to changes in prevailing market conditions and applicable credit risk spreads.

Where permissible under IAS 39, we use hedge accounting to mitigate the impact of changes in the fair value of derivatives on profit or loss but our results may be affected by changes in the fair values of derivatives where hedge accounting cannot be applied or due to hedge ineffectiveness.

Post-Employment Benefits

We operate pension plans throughout the world, covering the majority of its employees. Pension benefits are provided by way of both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. Our defined benefit pension plans are closed to new entrants. We also provide other post-employment benefits, principally health and life insurance cover, to certain of our employees in North America by way of unfunded defined benefit plans.

We account for post-employment benefits in accordance with IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’, whereby the cost of defined benefit plans is determined based on actuarial valuations of the plans that are carried out annually at the balance sheet date. The actuarial valuations are dependent on assumptions about the future that are made by management on the advice of independent qualified actuaries.

Table of Contents

If actual experience differs from these assumptions, there could be a material change in the amounts recognized by us in respect of defined benefit plans in the next financial year.

As at December 31, 2010, the present value of the benefit obligation was $1,258.5 million. The benefit obligation is calculated using a number of assumptions including future salary increases, increases to pension benefits, mortality rates and, in the case of post-employment medical benefits, the expected rate of increase in medical costs. The present value of the benefit obligation is calculated by discounting the benefit obligation using market yields on high-quality corporate bonds at the balance sheet date. As at December 31, 2010, the fair value of the plan assets was $1,011.1 million.

The plan assets consist largely of listed securities and their fair values are subject to fluctuation in response to changes in market conditions.

Effects of changes in the actuarial assumptions underlying the benefit obligation, effects of changes in the discount rate applicable to the benefit obligation and effects of differences between the expected and actual return on the plan assets are classified as actuarial gains and losses and are recognized in other comprehensive income. During 2010, we recognized a net actuarial gain of $70.1 million. Further actuarial gains and losses will be recognized during the next financial year.

An analysis of the assumptions that will be used by management to determine the cost of defined benefit plans that will be recognized in profit or loss in the next financial year is presented in note 35 to the consolidated financial statements presented elsewhere in this prospectus.

Taxation

We are subject to income tax in most of the jurisdictions in which we operate. Management is required to exercise significant judgment in determining our provision for income taxes.

Estimation is required of taxable profit in order to determine our current tax liability. Management’s judgment is required in relation to uncertain tax positions whereby additional current tax may become payable in the future following the audit by the tax authorities of previously-filed tax returns. It is possible that the final outcome of these uncertain tax positions may differ from management’s estimates.

Estimation is also required of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences but, where there exist deductible temporary differences, management’s judgment is required as to whether a deferred tax asset should be recognized based on the availability of future taxable profits. As at December 31, 2010, we recognized net deferred tax liabilities amounting to $779.9 million. Deferred tax assets of $825.1 million were not recognized in respect of tax losses and tax credits carried forward. It is possible that the deferred tax assets actually recoverable may differ from the amounts recognized if actual taxable profits differ from management’s estimates.

As at December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized was $1,375.0 million. Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized on these temporary differences because we are able to control the timing of their reversal and it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future. Income tax may become payable on these temporary differences if circumstances change, for example upon the repatriation of assets from the subsidiaries concerned or on the sale or liquidation of one or more of them.

Workers’ Compensation

Provision is made for claims for compensation for injuries sustained by our employees while at work. Our liability for claims made but not fully settled is calculated on an actuarial basis. Historical data trends are used to estimate the liability for unreported incidents. As at December 31, 2010, the workers’ compensation provision amounted to $21.6 million. Further provision may be necessary within the next financial year if the actual cost of settling claims exceeds management’s estimates.

Table of Contents

Environmental Liabilities

Provision is made for the estimated cost of known environmental remediation obligations in relation to our current and former manufacturing facilities. Cost estimates include the expenditure expected to be incurred in the initial remediation effort and, where appropriate, in the long-term monitoring of the relevant sites. Management monitors for each remediation project the costs incurred to date against expected total costs to complete and operates procedures to identify possible remediation obligations that are presently unknown.

As at December 31, 2010, the provision for environmental remediation costs amounted to $12.0 million. Further provision may be necessary within the next financial year if actual remediation costs exceed expected costs, new remediation obligations are identified or there are changes in the circumstances affecting our legal or constructive remediation obligations.

Product Warranties

Provision is made for the estimated cost of future warranty claims on our products. Management bases the provision on historical experience of the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and takes into account recent trends that might suggest that the historical claims experience may differ from future claims. As at December 31, 2010, our provision for warranty claims amounted to $12.1 million. Further provision may be necessary within the next financial year if actual claims experience differs from management’s estimates.

ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS YET TO BE ADOPTED

Recently-issued accounting pronouncements that may be relevant to our operations but have not yet been adopted are outlined below. Management does not expect that the adoption of the first phase of IFRS 9 and the Improvements to IFRS 2010 will have a material impact on our results or financial position. Management has not yet been able to assess the potential impact on our results or financial position of the other pronouncements.

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”

In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 which represents the first phase of its replacement of IAS 39 and introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and removes the need to separately account for certain embedded derivatives. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after 1 January 2013.

“Improvements to IFRS 2010”

In May 2010, the IASB published amendments to seven IFRS that address a number of issues, including the measurement in a business combination of non-controlling interests and the un-replaced or voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards of an acquired entity, the presentation of the analysis of other comprehensive income by item and clarification of certain disclosures about financial instruments. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after either July 1, 2010 or January 1, 2011.

IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” and IFRS 12 “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”

In May 2011, the IASB published a package of new and revised standards addressing the accounting for consolidation, involvements on joint arrangements and disclosure of involvements with other entities. Each of the standards is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier adoption permitted provided each of the other standards in the package is adopted on a concurrent basis.

IFRS 10 replaces the consolidation guidance in IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements” and SIC-12 “Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities” by introducing a single consolidation model for all entities based on control, irrespective of the nature of the investee, i.e. whether an entity is controlled through voting rights of investors or through other contractual arrangements.

 

102


Table of Contents

IFRS 11 introduces new accounting requirements for joint arrangements, replacing IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”. IFRS 11 classifies a joint arrangement as either a joint operation (combining the existing concepts of jointly controlled assets and jointly controlled operations) or a joint venture (equivalent to the existing concept of a jointly controlled entity). IFRS 11 requires that a joint operator recognizes its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint operation while a joint venturer would account for its interest in the joint venture using the equity method of accounting. Proportional consolidation of an interest in a joint venture will no longer be permitted.

IFRS 12 requires enhanced disclosures about both consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities in which an entity has an involvement so that users of financial statements may evaluate the basis of control, any restrictions on consolidated assets and liabilities, and the nature of and risks associated with its interests in other entities.

IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement”

In May 2011, the IASB issued IFRS 13 which replaces the guidance on fair value measurement that is contained in existing IFRS with a single standard. IFRS 13 does not change the requirements regarding which items should be measured or disclosed at fair value but defines fair value, provides guidance on how to determine fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. IFRS 13 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 with earlier adoption permitted.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

Background

We assess the financial performance of our businesses using a variety of measures. Certain of these measures are termed “non-GAAP measures” because they exclude amounts that are included in, or include amounts that are excluded from, the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or are calculated using financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. We present below a reconciliation of each of the non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and discuss its limitations. We do not regard these non-GAAP measures as a substitute for, or superior to, the equivalent measures calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS or those calculated using financial measures that are calculated in accordance with IFRS. The non-GAAP measures described below may not be directly comparable with similarly-titled measures used by other companies.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that represents profit or loss for the period before net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because it is widely used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the profitability of companies. EBITDA eliminates potential differences in performance caused by variations in capital structures (affecting net finance costs), tax positions (such as the availability of net operating losses against which to relieve taxable profits), the cost and age of tangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense) and the extent to which intangible assets are identifiable (affecting relative amortization expense).

Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before additional specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the trading performance of our businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is the measure used by the Board to assess the trading performance of our businesses and is therefore the measure of segment profit that we present under IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA is also presented on a consolidated basis because management believes it is important to consider our profitability on a basis consistent with that of its operating segments. When presented on a consolidated basis, adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Management believes that adjusted EBITDA should, therefore, be made available to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to assist in their assessment of the trading performance of our businesses.

 

103


Table of Contents

During the periods under review, the items excluded from EBITDA in arriving at adjusted EBITDA were:

 

   

the effect on cost of sales of the uplift to the carrying amount of inventory held by Tomkins on its acquisition by the Group;

 

   

the compensation expense in relation to share-based incentives;

 

   

transaction costs incurred in relation to business combinations;

 

   

impairments, comprising impairments of goodwill and intangible assets recognized in accounting for business combinations and material impairments of other assets;

 

   

restructuring costs;

 

   

the net gain or loss on disposals and on the exit of businesses; and

 

   

the gain recognized on amendments to certain post-employment benefit plans in North America.

When Tomkins was acquired by the Group, the carrying amount of its inventory was measured at fair value which included an uplift to its previous carrying amount to reflect the profit attributable to the production effort embodied in the inventory held at the acquisition date. When the inventory was sold during Q4 2010, the uplift to its carrying amount at the acquisition date was reflected as an addition to cost of sales. Had the Acquisition not occurred, the profit attributable to the production effort would have been recognized in profit or loss during Q4 2010. We have excluded from adjusted EBITDA the effect of the uplift on cost of sales in Q4 2010 in order that adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2010 is comparable with adjusted EBITDA in the preceding and future periods. However, to facilitate a discussion certain results of operations across periods, we have presented our results for Fiscal 2010 on a pro forma basis. For the reasons explained in “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” included elsewhere in this prospectus pro forma EBITDA for Fiscal 2010 excludes the effect of the uplift to inventory and it therefore does not appear in the reconciliation of pro forma EBITDA to pro forma adjusted EBITDA for Fiscal 2010.

Differences exist among our businesses in the extent to which their employees receive share-based incentives. We therefore exclude from adjusted EBITDA the compensation expense in relation to share-based incentives in order to assess the relative trading performance of our businesses.

We exclude from adjusted EBITDA those acquisition-related costs that are required to be expensed in accordance with IFRS 3 (Revised 2008) “Business Combinations” because we do not believe that they relate to our trading performance. Similarly, we have excluded from adjusted EBITDA the advisory fees incurred by Tomkins in relation to the Acquisition.

Other items are excluded from adjusted EBITDA because they are individually or collectively material items that are not considered to be representative of the trading performance of our businesses during the periods under review. Restructuring costs and the net gain or loss on disposals and on the exit of businesses reflect specific actions taken by management to improve our future profitability; impairments of long-lived assets represent the excess of their carrying amount over the amount that is expected to be recovered from them in the future; and the gain recognized on the amendments to certain post-employment benefit plans in North America represents reductions in the benefit obligations recognized in respect of the past service of participating employees.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA exclude items that can have a significant effect on our profit or loss and should, therefore, be used in conjunction with, not as substitutes for, profit or loss for the period. Management compensates for these limitations by separately monitoring profit or loss for the period.

For the avoidance of any confusion, the non-GAAP measures “EBITDA” and “adjusted EBITDA” differ in certain respects to “consolidated EBITDA” as defined in the financial covenants attaching to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

Trading cash flow

Trading cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that we use as a measure of the cash generated by our businesses from their trading activities.

Trading cash flow represents cash generated from operations less net capital expenditure (cash outflows on the purchase of property, plant and equipment and non-integral computer software, less proceeds on the disposal of property, plant and equipment).

A reconciliation of cash generated from operations to trading cash flow is presented in the analysis of the movement in net debt presented under “Net debt” below.

Trading cash flow reflects net capital expenditure which may fluctuate considerably from one year to another in an individual business, depending on the timing of capital projects and asset disposals. Management, therefore, uses trading cash flow in conjunction with, not as a substitute for, cash generated from operations in assessing the cash generation of our businesses.

Net debt

Management uses net debt, rather than the narrower measure of net cash and cash equivalents which forms the basis for the consolidated cash flow statement, as a measure of our liquidity and in assessing the strength of our balance sheet.

Net debt represents the net total of:

 

   

the principal amount of our borrowings (bank overdrafts and bank and other loans);

 

   

the carrying amount of finance lease obligations;

 

   

the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and collateralized cash (included in trade and other receivables); and

 

   

the fair value of the foreign currency derivatives that are held to hedge foreign currency translation exposures.

Net debt may be analyzed as follows:

BUSINESS

Company Overview

We are a diversified global engineering and manufacturing company with a portfolio of market-leading businesses. Our products are highly engineered and used in the industrial, automotive and construction end markets. We have a broad collection of premier brands that are among the most globally recognized in their respective end markets, and we estimate that approximately 80% of our sales for Fiscal 2010 were derived from businesses that hold the number one position in the markets in which they operate. Approximately 38% of our Fiscal 2010 sales were generated from the global industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket, where we achieve higher margins. Our industrial replacement business provides us with exposure to a broad range of industrial end market segments that have an ongoing need for replacement parts, while the automotive aftermarket provides us with a stable source of revenue. The significant majority of our products, including those useful for the reduction of energy consumption and for safety improvement, are positioned in the premium end of their respective end markets, and as a result, allow for associated premium pricing. The prices of our products are low relative to the potential cost of their failure within the critical systems in which they are used, such as industrial machinery, automotive engines and HVAC systems. We attribute our end market leadership positions to a combination of our brand strength, product quality and breadth and customer service and support. We are led by an experienced, proven management team that has successfully streamlined our portfolio to focus on our core businesses, and implemented wide-ranging, significant cost-saving restructuring initiatives.

Our revenue and earnings base is highly diversified by product, geography, end market and customer. We derive revenues from nearly every developed country across the globe and are well-positioned in most emerging markets with our industrial and automotive component products. In addition, our top ten customers represented only 23% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. We maintain long-standing customer relationships and have served our top 20 customers for an average of over 35 years, while some of our largest customer relationships span over 50 years. We also have developed strong relationships with industry-leading customers in emerging markets including Chery, Tata and Mahindra & Mahindra.

Our product portfolio consists of tens of thousands of SKUs, and we believe it comprises the broadest range of power transmission belts, fluid power hoses and air distribution products in the end markets in which we operate. This breadth, combined with our brand reputation, product quality, superior field sales and service support, long-standing customer relationships and ability to deliver on short lead times, has allowed us to establish and maintain our leading market positions.

Our History

We were founded in 1925 as F.H. Tomkins Buckle Company, a small British manufacturer of buckles and fasteners. In the 1980’s and 1990’s we embarked on a succession of acquisitions, which rapidly grew our sales, product range and global reach. Major acquisitions included the U.S.-based Gates Corporation in 1996, which signaled a move into the industrial and automotive markets and the Stant and Schrader businesses that further bolstered this division. We also expanded our businesses into the North American residential and non-residential construction markets and several other end markets through additional acquisitions. Recognizing the need to strengthen and build upon our market leadership positions in core engineering markets, we began a process of streamlining our activities by disposing of a number of businesses during the period from 1998 to 2001.

Jim Nicol joined us as CEO in 2002 and implemented a strategy of divesting under-performing and lower margin businesses, while also acquiring businesses with higher growth and margin potential such as A.E. Hydraulic and Fleximak, in order to create a globally diversified portfolio of market-leading industrial businesses. In our Air Distribution group there have been a number of strategic acquisitions that have provided strong product, manufacturing and customer synergies, and, in the case of Trion, have allowed for an important manufacturing capability in Asia. Today, our businesses are focused on lean manufacturing, sharing best practices, product innovation and geographic expansion.

Our Competitive Strengths

Industry Leading Businesses with Premier Brands. We believe that we hold the number one market position in businesses that comprise approximately 80% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. We have achieved this leadership position by offering high quality products, industry-leading product portfolios that typically consist of tens of thousands of SKUs and superior customer service and field sales support, all of which drive brand loyalty and secure our long-standing brand reputations and customer relationships. The strength of our brands has been highlighted by our demonstrated ability to pass through or adjust prices for changes in input costs, and in certain markets to charge a premium price relative to our competitors. Our principal brands include the following:

 

   

Gates is the world’s largest manufacturer of power transmission belts and a leader in hydraulic and industrial hoses and couplings. The Gates brand has existed since 1917 and is globally synonymous with premium quality, reliability and customer service. Gates has approximately a 30% share of the overall automotive aftermarket for power transmission and fluid power products in North America. In its target market, which is the “do-it-for-me” traditional and retail, light vehicle automotive aftermarket in North America, Gates has a 40% share. In Europe, we estimate that Gates has approximately a 65% share of the synchronous belt market and approximately a 35% share of the accessory drive belt market.

 

   

ASC, Ruskin and Hart & Cooley are three of the leading manufacturers of air distribution products in North America. Each of our primary Air Distribution brands maintains a share in excess of 30% of their respective product categories, and ASC, through several brands, has a share in excess of 50% of the market for commercial GRDs in the United States.

 

   

Schrader is the world leader in TPMS for passenger vehicles with a global market share of approximately 50%.

 

   

Dexter is North America’s leading manufacturer of axles used in specialty utility, industrial and recreational trailers, which are typically made-to-order, with a U.S. market share in excess of 50% for those products.

 

   

Ideal is the leading gear clamp manufacturer with a market share in the United States of approximately 60%.

 

   

Aquatic is the leading producer of value-oriented fiberglass bathtubs, accounting for approximately 30% of all fiberglass bathtubs sold in 2009 in the United States.

Diversified Revenue and Earnings Base. We benefit from serving a diverse group of end markets and customers across the globe. This diversity helps mitigate the impact of any individual decline in any one end market during a given year. Approximately 38% of our Fiscal 2010 sales were generated from the global industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket, where we achieve higher margins. Our industrial replacement business provides us with exposure to a broad range of industrial end market segments that have an ongoing need for replacement parts. Our customer base consists of many of the world’s leading companies in their respective end markets, and it is broad and distinct across our segments, with no single customer representing more than 7% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. We generate revenue in most developed countries across the globe, and our emerging market presence has grown rapidly to now represent approximately 22% of our Fiscal 2010 I&A sales.

Broad Product Offering of Highly Engineered and Critical Components. Our broad product portfolio consists of tens of thousands of SKUs, which allows us to provide our customers with a comprehensive range of products. Most of our products are highly engineered components that perform critical functions within larger and more expensive systems, including industrial machinery, automotive engines and commercial HVAC applications. The prices of our products are low relative to the potential cost of their failure within the critical systems in which they are used. Our engineering and new product development capabilities have contributed to our reputation as an innovator, solidifying our leadership position across our product categories. Additionally, our extensive product portfolio, strong brand reputation, intellectual property, knowledge and expertise applied across our broad range of SKUs, make us a valued partner to our customers and increases their reluctance to switch suppliers. Working with our customers to design and develop solutions tailored to their individual specifications is a valuable service that we provide, which further decreases their propensity to switch suppliers.

Long-Standing Customer and Distributor Relationships. We have cultivated long-standing customer relationships due to our strong brand reputation, consistent ability to meet product availability requirements, superior customer service and best-in-class quality. Some of our relationships with our largest customers span over 50 years. Our relationships with our top 20 customers have existed for more than 35 years on average. We believe we have cultivated relationships with an estimated 75% of the U.S. and European wholesale distributors to the automotive aftermarket, and are a key supplier to three of the largest North American distributors and retailers, NAPA, O’Reilly Auto Parts (both more than 50 years) and CARQUEST (approximately 45 years). In Europe, we have long-standing customer relationships with the leading automotive aftermarket distributors in each of Germany, France and the U.K. We maintain relationships with the largest global industrial replacement distributors, including Motion Industries (approximately 45 years) and Kaman (approximately 40 years). We have also cultivated exclusive relationships with over 100 leading distributors in the North American non-residential and residential construction end markets and maintain thousands of relationships for broad market coverage. Our extensive distribution network, comprehensive product portfolio and made-to-order components make it difficult for smaller domestic and emerging market competitors to penetrate our end markets.

Low-Cost Manufacturing and Global Engineering Footprint. Many of our manufacturing facilities are located in low-cost, emerging markets, including China, Mexico, Brazil, India, Eastern Europe and Turkey. We have substantially rebased our manufacturing footprint towards lower cost, higher growth regions, as we have opened, among other things, three new facilities in China, India and Turkey, while closing approximately 30% of our North American and European facilities in 2008 and 2009. As a result, we are positioned to realize continued margin growth as our end markets recover. We have already realized some of this margin expansion with the ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin increasing 570 basis points (“bps”) between the first half of 2009 and Fiscal 2010. Continued international expansion allows us to conduct our engineering and manufacturing activities close to our customers across the globe, as well as to develop new relationships and to benefit from the higher growth rates in emerging markets.

Strong Margins and Free Cash Flow Generation. Our operating model generates strong profit margins and stable cash flows. In Fiscal 2010 we achieved an ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin of 15.1% compared with 11.1% in Fiscal 2009 and 12.0% in Fiscal 2008. We achieved this improvement in part through our two broad plant rationalization programs that were largely completed in 2008 and 2009, which we refer to as projects Eagle and Cheetah. Under these initiatives we closed more than 30 loss-making, redundant and underperforming facilities in North America and Western Europe and exited low-margin and unprofitable automotive OEM businesses, which were capital intensive, as well as unprofitable Building Products businesses. After significant investments in lower cost regions, we currently have relatively lower capital expenditure requirements than we did in the past, which we expect to continue even if the end market recovery accelerates.

Experienced and Proven Management Team. We are led by an experienced management team that implemented a successful and significant restructuring program and reshaped our business portfolio through an extensive divestiture and rationalization program. Our management team is led by Jim Nicol who joined Tomkins in 2002 as CEO. Under his leadership, we have:

 

   

Executed projects Eagle and Cheetah, which we estimate will generate approximately $150 million in annual savings from 2011 onwards.

 

   

Divested or closed 26 non-core lower margin and commodity businesses to focus on higher margin, less capital intensive businesses.

 

   

Established a portfolio of industry-leading industrial, automotive and building product businesses.

 

   

Improved the ongoing Adjusted EBITDA margin by 310 bps in Fiscal 2010 compared with Fiscal 2008, despite sales being approximately 18% below the pre-restructuring levels of Fiscal 2007.

Business Strategies

Leverage the Gates Brand. We will continue to leverage our Gates brand and footprint, which is globally recognized by our customers as the highest quality power transmission belt brand and a leader in the fluid power market. We aim to enhance Gates’ strong reputation for superior quality, reliability and customer service by growing our service and distribution capabilities in the global industrial OEM and replacement end market and automotive aftermarket. We will also continue to invest in: (i) product development, such as our polyaramid-reinforced belts for motorcycles, carbon cord polychain belts, molded fabric belts used in high torque engines, belt boxes within wind turbines, ocean wave power generation systems and oil and gas applications and (ii) service capabilities, such as installing, monitoring, refurbishing and advising on system design for hydraulic applications in the oil and gas, marine and mining end market segments.

Utilize Global Presence and Brand Strength to Further Penetrate Emerging Markets. We continue to expand our market share in emerging markets such as China, Brazil, India and Eastern Europe, and our sales to emerging markets have grown from approximately 10% of I&A sales in 2004 to approximately 22% in Fiscal 2010. Gates has established and maintained a sales and manufacturing presence in both China and India since 1995. We have authorized distributors in almost all of China’s provinces, that have a total of over 130 retail stores across the country. We have recently completed new facilities to serve these markets, including our Fluid Power plant in Changzhou, China, which became operational in early 2010 and is the largest fluid power facility in our portfolio. We have also expanded our operations in India, Eastern Europe and Turkey, where we believe the recent high growth of light vehicle sales and industrial activity are expected to continue in the future. The automotive aftermarket opportunity in many of these emerging markets remains in its early stages as the average age of vehicles in these markets is currently lower than the age range that generates the most aftermarket activity, which is approximately five to ten years. Additionally, industrial activity is expected to increase with economic growth, which drives the industrial OEM and replacement end markets. We believe that exposure to these geographies will continue to drive our growth as automotive production increases, the aftermarket develops and general infrastructure and economic growth continues to expand at attractive rates.

Capitalize on Demand for Energy Efficient Products. We believe that we were among the first manufacturers to identify the growing environmentally-focused product trends in our industries and end markets. We continue to engineer products to enhance their energy and fuel efficiency. Such products include synchronous timing belts for micro-hybrid systems, TPMS and variable vane oil pumps in our I&A businesses and energy recovery ventilators in our Building Products business. Demand for the advanced technology content integrated into these products continues to grow. In addition, a number of new regulatory guidelines in North America have emerged to promote energy efficient products in new non-residential and residential construction.

Further Enhance Margins and Free Cash Flow Generation. We will continue to develop product offerings across our businesses that contain proprietary technology and leverage our strong brands resulting in an ability to offer premium products and generate attractive margins. In response to a difficult economic climate, we have also reduced our fixed cost base. In 2008 and 2009, we substantially completed all of our comprehensive restructuring initiatives (projects Eagle and Cheetah), closing over 30 facilities and reducing headcount under these initiatives by 7,800. We anticipate reaching the full run-rate savings of $150 million during 2011. Our continual performance improvement initiatives within our plants is expected to enhance our margins further. We also believe our available manufacturing capacity and existing geographical plant footprint is sufficient to support significant increases in volume, which will result in positive operating leverage as the economy recovers. Additionally, many of our more capital-intensive operations, including several of our low-margin, more commodity-oriented automotive OEM businesses, have been divested over the past few years as part of a full-scale management initiative to focus on higher margin, lower capital intensity businesses.

Target Opportunities for Which There is a Significant Replacement Market. We will continue to develop our technology to manufacture market-leading products and then follow with aftermarket sales and support using such technology. This strategy has been successful across the Gates brand where products were customized for use in systems designed by OEMs then sold directly to the aftermarket to satisfy replacement needs. We have taken a similar approach in other areas such as Schrader with TPMS. We believe the aftermarket will continue to develop

following the regulation-induced OEM adoption of the technology in the United States and Europe. R&R activities, which are becoming a growing revenue driver in our Building Products business group, accounted for 25% of Air Distribution’s Fiscal 2010 sales.

Capitalize on Eventual Cyclical End Market Recovery. Although all of our end markets were impacted by the recent global economic recession to varying degrees, we believe many of our end markets have troughed and are experiencing varying degrees of recovery, with ongoing sales up 17% in Fiscal 2010 over Fiscal 2009, driven by increased demand throughout our global industrial and automotive end markets, as well as some amount of inventory re-stocking at our customers.

Continue to Evaluate Strategic Opportunities. We will continue to evaluate our portfolio on a strategic basis and seek to expand our presence in emerging markets. We may also consider divesting non-core businesses that may be less strategic in order to accelerate the deleveraging of our balance sheet.

Our Segments

Our business is divided into two business groups: I&A, which accounted for 80% of our Fiscal 2010 sales, and Building Products, which comprised the remaining 20% of our Fiscal 2010 sales. Our I&A businesses include: (i) Gates—the leading global manufacturer of power transmission belts and related products, as well as hydraulic and industrial hose and couplings; (ii) Schrader—the global leader in automotive TPMS; (iii) Dexter—the leading North American manufacturer of axles used in utility, industrial and recreational trailers; and (iv) several other businesses. Our Building Products businesses collectively are the leading North American manufacturer of products used in the HVAC systems of commercial and residential buildings, including GRDs, terminal units, dampers, louvers and smoke vents, among other products. We also manufacture bathtubs and shower enclosures primarily used in residential applications.

and include highly-engineered rubber and polyurethane accessory drives and synchronous belts, idler pulleys and tensioners. We are globally integrated with operations in 21 countries and maintain research, development and engineering capabilities worldwide. The largest component of our Power Transmission sales is to leading distributors for use in the industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket, which are higher margin businesses. The industrial replacement end market covers a broad range of industries, which have an ongoing need for replacement parts. The automotive aftermarket provides us with a stable source of revenue. We supply aftermarket belts and related components for substantially all light vehicles in North America and Europe. We also sell Power Transmission products directly to industrial and automotive OEMs. For Fiscal 2010, 63% of Power Transmission’s automotive OEM sales were to customers located outside of North America, primarily in continental Europe and Asia, including Renault, PSA/Peugeot, Mercedes, Hyundai and Chery. The end market segments for our industrial products are broad and primarily cover applications such as general industrial, agricultural equipment and motorcycles. We also have a nascent presence in elevators, white goods and wind turbines. The industrial replacement end market and automotive aftermarket collectively represented 49% of Power Transmission’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while 41% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the automotive OEM end market. The remaining 10% of Fiscal 2010 sales were generated from the industrial OEM end market.

Fluid Power

LOGO

Fluid Power. We are a leading manufacturer of hydraulic hoses, couplings and transfer hoses used in industrial applications and in the automotive aftermarket. Our hydraulic hoses and couplings are used in technically demanding operations and must be able to withstand extreme operating conditions. Our Fluid Power products are sold under the Gates brand and are used in a variety of end market segments, such as general industrial, construction, agriculture, oil and gas, mining and energy. We have continued to broaden our Fluid Power platform by providing hydraulic service offerings (e.g., tracking, monitoring and replacement, as well as hydraulic flushing services) to the oil and gas, marine and mining end market segments. Fluid Power has a global footprint across 13 countries and serves customers worldwide such as Motion Industries, John Deere, JCB, Bobcat and Caterpillar. The industrial replacement end market accounted for 49% of Fluid Power’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while 31% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the industrial OEM end market and 20% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the automotive aftermarket.

Table of Contents

Sensors & Valves. Through our Schrader Electronics and Schrader International businesses we are the global leader in TPMS and maintain a share of approximately 50% of the global market for TPMS products. This technology allows drivers to remotely monitor their vehicle’s tire pressure using electronic sensors attached to tire valves. Currently, our TPMS products are sold primarily to automotive OEMs that produce passenger vehicles for the U.S. market, where TPMS has been a mandatory safety system on all light vehicles since 2007. Recent legislation was passed in Europe that will mandate the use of TPMS on all new models introduced into the European passenger vehicle market starting in 2012, and all newly manufactured passenger vehicles starting in November 2014. This new legislation is expected to double the TPMS market size by the end of 2014. In addition, we believe there will be a significant aftermarket opportunity in both the United States and Europe for our Sensors & Valves products as the installed base of vehicles with TPMS continues to grow.

Other I&A

LOGO

Other I&A. Other I&A is comprised of three businesses, Dexter and Ideal. Dexter accounts for more than half of Other I&A’s sales. Dexter is the leading manufacturer of axle components for the utility, industrial trailer and recreational vehicle end market segments in the United States. Dexter sells products directly to OEMs and through national distributors. Ideal is the leading manufacturer of gear clamps primarily for the automotive aftermarket and sells principally in the United States, Mexico and China under a variety of brands. Plews, a wholly-owned manufacturer of automotive lubrication products and repair tools, was sold on April 20, 2011 to a consortium of investors in the US led by the private equity firm, Eigen Capital LLC. In Fiscal 2010, Plews’ sales were approximately $70 million. The cash consideration of $25 million received on the disposal approximated to the carrying amount of the net assets sold.

Industrial & Automotive End Markets

We operate a portfolio of global, market-leading businesses that manufacture and sell branded products for the industrial OEM and replacement, automotive OEM, automotive aftermarket, non-residential construction and residential construction end markets. Each end market has unique characteristics and drivers that contribute to our overall revenue diversification, stability and provide broad exposure to general economic growth. We expect that the cyclical nature of the industrial and automotive OEM end markets and the industrial aftermarket will benefit us to the extent there continues to be a recovery from recessionary lows. Additional end market demand characteristics that we believe we will continue to benefit from are:

 

   

the resilience, stability and higher-margin nature of the automotive aftermarket principally in North America and Europe; and

 

117


Table of Contents
   

the continued secular growth in industrial and automotive OEM and replacement end markets in emerging markets globally.

Industrial OEM & Replacement. We generated 32% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the global industrial OEM and replacement end markets. Our Power Transmission and Fluid Power segments operating under the Gates brand accounted for 76% of our Fiscal 2010 sales to the industrial OEM and replacement end markets. Our industrial belts are used in manufacturing equipment, commercial vehicles, agricultural and construction equipment as well as a broad range of consumer and industrial products and applications. Our industrial fluid power products are used within hydraulic systems, for example, on construction equipment and to transfer and convey fluids, as well as food, water, steam, oil, chemicals, gas and air and serve the general industrial, construction, agriculture, oil and gas, marine and mining industries.

We believe the demand for our products in the industrial OEM and replacement end markets will continue to be driven by:

 

   

the level of industrial production and capacity utilization, both of which still remain below long-term averages in North America and Europe;

 

   

the level of durable goods orders and operating expenditures related to consumable items used in industrial production;

 

   

the level of construction activity which drives demand for construction equipment that utilize our products;

 

   

the level of global commodity prices that impact demand and utilization of equipment in a number of our end market segments including agriculture and oil and gas; and

 

   

continued emerging market growth and infrastructure build.

Automotive OEM. We generated 25% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from supplying the global automotive OEM end market. Our Power Transmission segment operating under the Gates brand accounted for 73% of our Fiscal 2010 sales for this end market. The demand in this end market is directly related to global vehicle production. According to IHS/CSM, from 2000 through 2010, annual light vehicle production averaged 14.6 million units in North America and 19.5 million units in Europe. Current automotive industry conditions in North America and Europe have demonstrated early signs of recovery, though are still significantly below long-run averages. In 2010, North American production recovered to 11.9 million units from 8.6 million units the year before. In Europe, production increased by 13%, rising from 16.3 million units in 2009 to 18.5 million units in 2010. Approximately 11% of our automotive OEM sales are derived from the Chinese market where production grew at an annualized growth rate of 24% between 2004 and 2010. IHS/CSM forecasts 2011 to 2015 annualized light vehicle production growth of 6% globally, with 5% in North America, 5% in Europe and 7% in China. Evolving consumer preferences and recent regulations have made fuel economy and safety systems a growth area for automotive OEM suppliers, which we believe will benefit our business. Many of the products that we sell to the automotive OEM end market have been shown to improve safety and fuel economy, which positions us well to benefit from the trend toward safer, more fuel-efficient vehicles.

We believe the demand for our products in the automotive OEM end market will continue to be driven by:

 

   

the level of global vehicle production;

 

   

our ability to secure positions on new vehicle platforms relative to our competitors; and

 

   

evolving regulatory requirements related to fuel economy and safety.

Automotive Aftermarket. We generated 21% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the automotive aftermarket primarily through our Gates products. Though the automotive aftermarket is influenced by fuel prices and consumer

confidence, it is typically resilient during economic downturns. This resilience is a result of the stable underlying demand for replacement products, which is more influenced by non-discretionary maintenance and repair needs than it is by economic factors. For example, according to IHS/CSM, U.S. light vehicle production fell 34% in 2009 compared with the prior year, whereas, according to AAIA, aggregate U.S. automotive aftermarket sales declined only 2% during 2009 compared with the prior year. The U.S. light vehicle aftermarket represented $207 billion in aggregate sales in 2009 and is expected to reach over $230 billion by 2012, a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 4%, according to AAIA estimates. Global vehicle production is also an aftermarket revenue growth driver as it adds to the aggregate global vehicle population. JD Power estimates that the world’s total vehicle population in 2009 was 1.0 billion and expects it to grow at a CAGR of 3% from 2009 through 2015. In particular, JD Power expects that total vehicle population in emerging markets will continue to grow significantly during that period, with CAGRs of 14% in China and 10% in India, which should aid the development of the still nascent automotive aftermarket in those countries.

We believe that the demand for our products in the automotive aftermarket will continue to be driven by:

 

   

the size of the global vehicle population, which increases by the level of annual new vehicle production less the annual scrap rate;

 

   

the average age of the global vehicle population as older vehicles typically require greater maintenance and repair; and

 

   

annual miles driven, which correlates to the rate of vehicle wear and consequently demand for aftermarket products.

Building Products

The Building Products business group manufactures a wide range of air distribution products and systems, and bathware products (bathtubs, shower cubicles and luxury whirlpools) for the residential construction and non-residential construction end markets. Building Products sells its products through a range of distribution channels, principally to suppliers to the construction industry, building contractors, OEM and retailers for both the new build and refurbishment sectors. Over 90% of Fiscal 2010 sales are to the North American markets, but there is an increasing customer base in India, Thailand, China, Europe and the Middle East. The primary raw materials used by the business group are steel, aluminum, resin and fiberglass.

believe that we are the only nationwide U.S. provider of air distribution products across many of the primary categories in which we compete and we have an extensive multi-channel distribution network across the country. The majority of our products are sold through manufacturers’ representatives and building products wholesalers. The balance of our products are sold directly to HVAC OEMs, such as Carrier Group, York International and Lennox, as well as to home centers, specialty retailers and national accounts. We maintain a competitive advantage in this business by offering the broadest range of products, providing industry-leading customer service and delivering customized products on short lead times. Our portfolio of brands is recognized as representing the highest quality products, and building architects and engineers often specify them by name in building designs. The non-residential construction end market represented 74% of Air Distribution’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while 26% of Fiscal 2010 sales were to the residential construction end market. Within Air Distribution, 75% of Fiscal 2010 sales were into the new construction end market segment, while 25% of Fiscal 2010 sales were into the R&R end market segment, which includes all sales to home centers such as Home Depot and Lowes.

Bathware

LOGO

Bathware. We are a leading manufacturer of bathtubs and shower enclosures in the United States, accounting for approximately 30% of all fiberglass bathtubs sold in 2009. Our products are sold under the Aquatic brand name primarily through building products wholesalers, home center retailers and specialty distributors. Aquatic operates manufacturing plants and distribution warehouses across the United States, providing national distribution capabilities. The residential end market accounted for 96% of Bathware’s Fiscal 2010 sales, while the remaining 4% comprised sales to the manufactured housing industry.

Building Products End Markets

The majority of our Building Products business group serves the non-residential construction markets (65% of Fiscal 2010 Building Products sales), while the remainder (35%) sells primarily to the residential construction end market. Nearly all of our Building Products sales are to the North American construction markets.

Non-Residential Construction End Market

We generated 13% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the non-residential construction end market, primarily from our Air Distribution segment. U.S. non-residential construction activity has been in decline since 2008, and, according to Dodge, in 2010, U.S. non-residential construction starts totaled 635 million square feet as compared with an average of 1.2 billion square feet over the 2006 to 2010 time period. McGraw-Hill is forecasting that the market will continue to stabilize in 2011 followed by more rapid growth in 2012 and 2013. Within our Air Distribution business group, approximately 25% of our Fiscal 2010 sales were derived from R&R activities. We believe this will be a growth area given the increasing global drive to reduce energy consumption in buildings, which many of our products achieve. Globally, buildings use approximately one-third of the world’s energy, 25% of which is attributable to buildings’ air distribution systems. Our energy efficient air distribution products can help reduce energy consumption in this area.

Table of Contents

We believe that demand in the non-residential construction end market, which is inherently local in nature, will be driven by underlying dynamics including:

 

   

local office vacancy rates, which are tied to employment levels;

 

   

the availability of financing for new construction projects;

 

   

public and private spending on healthcare, education and other social services; and

 

   

trends in the development of new urban areas and the re-development of existing urban areas.

Residential Construction End Market

We generated 7% of our Fiscal 2010 sales from the residential construction end market, including the R&R end market segment. The U.S. residential construction end market has been weak throughout 2010 and early 2011, with seasonally adjusted annualized housing starts standing at 549,000 at the end of March 2011, compared with the total housing starts in 2010 of 587,000 units and the historical average housing start rate between 1980 and 2010 of 1.4 million units (as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau Housing Starts). According to the NAHB, housing starts are expected to recover to approximately 900,000 units by 2012 as long-term demographic factors and an expected economic recovery lead to absorption of the current excess housing supply. However, despite signs of recent stabilization and the long-term positive outlook for new residential construction, recent housing starts data suggests that near-term demand will continue to be restrained. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, R&R spending has declined 23% since 2006, and we expect it to resume growth as consumer confidence and unemployment improve.

We believe that demand in the new residential construction end market segment will continue to be driven by:

 

   

consumer confidence and employment levels;

 

   

availability of financing along with interest rate stability;

 

   

on-going population growth and relocation trends; and

 

   

the level of existing home sales which impacts housing inventory levels as well as the level of R&R activity.

Customers

We have cultivated deep-seated customer relationships due to our strong brand reputation, consistent ability to meet product availability requirements, superior customer service and best-in-class quality. Some of our relationships with our largest customers span over 50 years. Our relationships with our top 20 customers have existed for more than 35 years on average. We believe we have cultivated relationships with an estimated 75% of the U.S. and European wholesale distributors to the automotive aftermarket, and are a key supplier to three of the largest North American distributors and retailers, NAPA, O’Reilly Auto Parts (both more than 50 years) and CARQUEST (approximately 45 years). In Europe, we have long-standing customer relationships with the leading automotive aftermarket distributors in each of Germany, France and the U.K. We maintain relationships with the largest global industrial replacement distributors, including Motion Industries (approximately 45 years) and Kaman (approximately 40 years). We have also cultivated exclusive relationships with over 100 leading distributors in the North American non-residential and residential construction end markets and maintain thousands of relationships for broad market coverage. Our extensive distribution network, comprehensive product portfolio and made-to-order components make it difficult for smaller domestic and emerging market competitors to penetrate our markets. For example, our Air Distribution products are often specified into building designs by engineers and architects. Our top five customers by business segment and their contribution to group sales are listed below.

We have thousands of customers around the world and have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. We have a significant concentration of customers in the United States, however we sell to nearly every developed country globally. We serve a diverse range of end markets, and serve customers across a broad range of end market segment. No single customer accounts for more than 7% of our sales and there are typically no significant amounts due from any one customer.

Products

The following are some of our key products in each of our segments.

Competition

Although our end markets are competitive, we believe that most of our products are technologically superior or of better quality than those of our competitors. Additionally, in certain cases we choose to match the prices of lower cost suppliers. We focus on differentiating our products through high quality, efficiency and performance as well as providing superior customer service and field sales support. We also maintain a broad collection of premier global brands which are among the most globally recognized in their respective industries, and we estimate that approximately 80% of our sales are derived from businesses that hold the number one position in their respective markets.

Industrial & Automotive: Gates is the world’s largest manufacturer of power transmission belts and hydraulic and industrial hoses. Gates’ key Power Transmission competitors include Goodyear Engineered Products, Dayco, Continental, Carlisle and Optibelt. The economic downturn caused significant financial distress for certain competitors, including Dayco (a division of Mark IV Industries), which filed for bankruptcy in April of 2009. These events strengthened Gates’ competitive position during the downturn. Gates’ key Fluid Power competitors include Parker Hannifin and Eaton Hydraulics. The TPMS market is largely dominated by three key players, Schrader, Continental and Pacific. Schrader is the market leader in TPMS with approximately 50% market share. Furthermore, Dexter and Ideal are leaders in their markets. Dexter’s key competitors are Axis and Alko, while Ideal does not face substantial competition from one specific player.

Building Products: We are the leading North American manufacturer of products that are used to distribute, recycle and vent air, and which are critical components of HVAC systems within non-residential and residential buildings. Hart & Cooley is the market leader in Residential GRDs and competes with U.S. Aire and Tru Aire. This market is relatively fragmented as our competitors are regionally based. The key brands in our Air Distribution group are the market leaders in several non-residential HVAC applications where the key competitors include Greenheck, Price Industries, Metal Aire and Schebler. Additionally, we are a leading manufacturer of bathtubs and shower enclosures in the United States, accounting for approximately 30% of all fiberglass bathtubs sold in 2009. We face competition from Kohler, Jacuzzi Brands, American Standard and MAAX.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Our broad sales and distribution operations allow us to be strategically positioned to serve our customers efficiently across the globe and to provide local knowledge of product and application requirements. This network allows us to meet our customers’ product availability requirements with short lead times. Our global sales and service support presence helps reinforce customer and distributor relationships. These sales and distribution capabilities are not easy to replicate and provide us with an enduring competitive advantage and barrier to entry. Our global presence makes it difficult for smaller regional and low-cost country manufacturers to penetrate our markets.

Manufacturing and Properties

Our manufacturing facilities, distribution centers and offices are located in a number of countries, with a large proportion in North America. We own the majority of these facilities and continue to improve and replace them to meet the needs of our individual operations. As at December 31, 2010, I&A operated from 145 facilities in 25 countries, and Building Products operated from 62 facilities, predominantly in North America.

Employees

As of December 31, 2010, we had 27,672 employees excluding non-executive directors in our operating segments. Our I&A business employed 20,388, our Building Products business employed 7,157 and 127 were employed in our corporate functions. Approximately 12,000 of our employees are located in the United States and the rest are located in 30 other countries worldwide. A more detailed breakdown of non-executive director employees by business unit is as follows:

Certain of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements. In the United States and Canada, 20 of our facilities are subject to collective bargaining agreements, the majority of which are with the Sheet Metal Workers Union. Historically, the cost associated with the use of union labor versus non-union labor has not been

materially different. To date, employee relations have been flexible and constructive as we have pursued lean manufacturing in our plants. In the United States, there have not been any strikes or material work stoppages or business interruptions in over 15 years, the most recent being in 1993 at one of Ruskin’s plants in Lexington, KY. There have been several minor work stoppages with respect to our European employees, but short work stoppages are common in many European jurisdictions and the longest recent stoppage lasted for four days in Nevers, France in 2006.

Raw Materials

We maintain a diversified supply base for the raw material inputs that we use in our manufacturing operations. In Fiscal 2010, we spent $1.9 billion or approximately 54% of our cost of goods sold on raw materials, with the top 10 representing an approximate $1.3 billion or 69% of total input purchases. The primary raw materials used by our I&A business group are rubber, steel, fibers and fabrics. In our Building Products business group, we primarily employ steel and aluminum in our products. Our top five raw materials represented 58% of total raw material purchases in Fiscal 2010, and are steel (20%), rubber (14%), fibers and fabric (11%), aluminum (8%) and iron (5%). We have historically been able to pass on cost increases to our customers when we have experienced rising prices for our material inputs. We maintain contracts with key component suppliers and often in these agreements we are able to include raw material clauses, which allow us to minimize the lag between an increase in costs and a raise in the prices for our products. These materials are generally sourced locally and are typically available from multiple qualified sources in quantities sufficient for our needs.

Patents and Trademarks

We market and sell our products and services under numerous trademarks, which we believe carry strong identities in the markets we serve. We also hold various patent and licenses with respect to our products. However, as we have many product lines, the loss or expiration of any particular patent or license would not materially affect our sales and profits.

Research and Development

Applied research development is important to our businesses and integral to our leading market positions. We have three groups in the United States, Europe and Japan that focus on the introduction of new and improved products with a particular emphasis on energy efficiency and safety, the application of technology to reduce unit and operating costs and improving services to our customers. Our research and development expenditures were $85.9 million (of which $2.8 million was capitalized) for Fiscal 2010, $78.6 million (of which $0.6 million was capitalized) for Fiscal 2009 and $92.7 million (of which $0.6 million was capitalized) for Fiscal 2008.

Regulations

We are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including but not limited to those of the United States, that impose requirements that govern many aspects of our operations. These requirements include but are not limited to environmental, health and safety laws and legal requirements that are intended to curtail bribery and corruption.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, local, foreign and provincial environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air or water, the management, storage and disposal of, or exposure to, hazardous substances and wastes, the responsibility to investigate and clean up contamination, and occupational health and safety. Fines and penalties may be imposed for non-compliance with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements and the failure to have or to comply with the terms and conditions of required permits. Historically, the costs to comply with environmental, health and safety requirements have not been material. However, the failure by us to comply with applicable environmental, health and safety requirements could result in fines, penalties, enforcement actions, third-party claims for property damage and personal injury, requirements to clean up property or to pay for the costs of cleanup, or regulatory or judicial orders requiring corrective measures, including the installation of pollution control equipment or remedial actions.

Table of Contents

Under certain laws and regulations, such as the federal U.S. Superfund law, the obligation to investigate and remediate contamination at a facility may be imposed on current and former owners or operators or on persons who may have sent waste to that facility for disposal. Liability under these laws and regulations may be without regard to fault or to the legality of the activities giving rise to the contamination. We are currently performing environmental investigations and remediation at a number of former and current facilities in the United States and Canada, as well as another facility in Belgium. We have incurred and will continue to incur costs to investigate and remediate conditions at those sites. We are also incurring costs associated with contamination at approximately twenty offsite waste disposal sites. We have established reserves of $12.0 million with respect to such remediation and other environmental matters. In the future, we may incur similar liabilities in connection with environmental conditions currently unknown to us relating to our existing, prior, or future sites or operations or those of predecessor companies whose liabilities we may have assumed or acquired. As discussed in “Risk Factors—Environmental compliance costs and liabilities and responses to concerns regarding climate change could affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows adversely,” we are and may from time to time be subject to personal injury and/or property damage lawsuits in which private parties allege damages arising from exposure to hazardous materials used, or alleged to be used, by us in the past.

In addition, environmental, health and safety laws and regulations applicable to our business and the business of our customers, and the interpretation or enforcement of these laws and regulations, are constantly evolving and it is impossible to predict accurately the effect that changes in these laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, may have upon our business, financial condition or results of operations. For example, legislation and regulations limiting emissions of greenhouse gases are at various stages of consideration and implementation, and if fully implemented, could negatively impact the market for the products we distribute and, consequently, our business. Should environmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation or enforcement, become more stringent, our costs could increase, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The FCPA, makes it a criminal offense for a U.S. corporation or other U.S. domestic concern corruptly to make or authorize payments or gifts of anything of value directly or indirectly to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or to obtain any other unfair or improper advantage. We are also subject to laws and regulations covering subject matter similar to that of the FCPA that have been enacted by countries outside of the United States. Failure to comply with these laws could subject us to, among other things, penalties and legal expenses, which could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time party to legal proceedings which arise in the normal course of business. We are not currently involved in any material litigation, the outcome of which would, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Exchange Controls

There are no limits under the laws of The Netherlands or in our articles of association on non-residents of The Netherlands holding or voting our ordinary shares. Currently, there are no exchange controls under the laws of The Netherlands on the conduct of our operations or affecting the remittance of dividends, except that (i) the transfer of funds to jurisdictions subject to general economic sanctions adopted in connection with policies of the United Nations, European Commission or similar measures imposed directly by the Government of the Netherlands may be restricted.

Retirement Plans and Incentive Plans and Awards

Retirement Plans. Except for Mr. O’Halloran and Mr. Pappayliou, none of the members of our senior management who are employees participate or participated in any plan or program that provides pension or other retirement benefits (other than defined contribution plans such as the 401(k) plan in which members of our senior management in the U.S. participate). Instead, each of the members of our senior management who are employees receives a monthly supplemental payment in addition to regular base salary that is intended to allow the executive to make contributions to a personal retirement program of his choice. Mr. O’Halloran and Mr. Pappayliou participate or participated in one of our defined benefit pension plans and are also entitled to supplemental pension benefits in accordance with the terms of their employment agreement.

Annual Bonus Incentive Plan. In addition to annual base salary, members of senior management who are employees participate in the Tomkins Annual Bonus Incentive Plan, pursuant to which participants may earn annual bonuses. Bonus payments are determined based upon the amount of bonusable profit for the calendar year. Bonuses are payable quarterly and each member of senior management is entitled to a specified percentage of the applicable bonusable profit.

Pre-Acquisition Equity Incentive Programs. Prior to the Acquisition, we maintained several equity incentive award programs consisting of certain share option schemes and a Performance Share Plan. In connection with the Acquisition all outstanding options under the share option schemes were converted (directly or indirectly) into the right to receive, upon cancellation or exercise of the options, an amount equal to the difference between the aggregate amount of cash consideration payable in respect of the underlying shares subject to the options and the aggregate exercise price of such options.

In addition, all outstanding awards in connection with our Performance Share Plan fully vested as a result of the Acquisition and were paid in cash at that time, except that as an alternative to this accelerated vesting and payment under the Performance Share Plan, certain members of our senior management who are employees and certain other employees who were not resident in the U.S. elected to cancel their Performance Share Plan awards (the ‘PSP awards’) in exchange for awards of options to purchase equity interests in Holdings (the ‘Replacement Options’). The shares covered by each Replacement Option had a market value at the time of the award equal to the market value of the shares subject to the cancelled PSP awards. An aggregate of 16,020 ‘B’ ordinary shares are subject to Replacement Options granted to certain of our directors and executive officers during Fiscal 2010. Each Replacement Option has a nominal exercise price and was fully vested at grant. The Replacement Options will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

Current Equity Incentive Plan. Holdings has established an equity incentive plan under which each of the members of our senior management who is an employee, and certain other employees, received awards of options to purchase “B” ordinary shares in Holdings (the “Variable Options”). The percentage of Holdings shares available for such options is up to 15% of the ordinary share capital of Holdings on a fully diluted basis. The Variable Options are divided into three tiers with distinct escalating exercise prices for each tier, allowing the option holders to participate in the aggregate in 9%, 12% and 15%, respectively, of the gains of Holdings’ equity investors above certain minimum return thresholds.

The first tier of Variable Options has an exercise price equal to $1,966.00 (the “Initial Exercise Price”) compounded at 8% per annum. The second tier of Variable Options has an exercise price equal to the Initial Exercise Price compounded at 25% per annum (but subject, in certain circumstances, to a cap of 2.25 times the Initial Exercise Price). The third tier of Variable Options has an exercise price equal to the Initial Exercise Price compounded at 27.5% per annum (but subject, in certain circumstances, to a cap of 2.5 times the Initial Exercise Price).

Table of Contents

The equity incentive plan is designed to provide management with an initial 9% of the equity (after coverage of the initial investment made by Holdings’ equity investors plus 8% compounded), subject to certain step-ups at higher levels of returns. Under this plan, an aggregate of 139,448 “B” ordinary shares are subject to Variable Options granted to certain of our directors and executive officers during Fiscal 2010. The Variable Options were vested as to 25% on grant, with a further 25% vesting on the first three anniversaries of the Acquisition becoming effective, subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date. The vesting of the Variable Options will be accelerated in whole or in part in the event of a change of control or certain liquidity events while the holder is still employed, or, in part, if the holder is a good leaver. The Variable Options will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

Retention Awards. In addition to the Variable Options, the equity incentive plan provides for the grant of retention awards to certain of our employees, and such awards were awarded in December 2010 to certain members of senior management. The retention awards consist of the right to receive “B” ordinary shares in Holdings, which shares would be issued on the first to occur of December 10, 2015 or the holder’s termination of employment in certain circumstances. The retention awards will become vested as to one-third of the award on the first three anniversaries following the date of the awards, subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting date. The vesting of the retention awards will be accelerated in the event of a change of control or liquidity event while the holder is still employed, or if the holder dies, has his employment terminated due to disability or without cause or resigns for good reason.

Options Over Our Shares

The Replacement Options and the Variable Options are over our unissued “B” ordinary shares. The Replacement Options vested on the grant date. As at April 8, 2011, 25% of each tier of the Variable Options had vested. Details of the options granted over our shares are presented in note 36 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Options Over Shares in Tomkins Limited

Options remain outstanding over unissued ordinary shares in Tomkins Limited under employee share option schemes that were in operation prior to the acquisition of Tomkins. All of these options have vested. If the options are exercised, the requisite number of ordinary shares will be issued by Tomkins Limited and immediately acquired by us for consideration of 325p per share in cash.

Employment Agreements

In connection with the Acquisition, the members of senior management, other than Mr. Pappayliou, entered into new employment agreements with either Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, which we believe contain customary and market terms regarding employment and compensation matters. These agreements also provide for compensation upon termination of employment by us (without cause) or termination of employment by the executive for good reason.

Board Practices

Board of Directors

The constitution of Holdings requires that a majority of the directors present at any meeting must vote in favor to approve a resolution, such approval generally to include the affirmative vote of at least one Director A and one Director B. The directors may also adopt resolutions without convening a general meeting, provided that such resolutions are adopted unanimously and in writing. The Board requires the approval at the general meeting of shareholders with respect to such resolutions as shall have been specified in a resolution at the general meeting of shareholders of which the Board shall have been notified. The Board is authorized to represent Holdings and may also be represented by one Director A, one Director B and one Director C acting jointly. Pursuant to the terms of the Investment Agreement, Onex has appointed Mr. Gilis and Mr. West each as a Managing Director A and CPPIB has appointed Mr. Selwood and Mr. Morgan each as Managing Director B. The other Managing Directors are each Managing Director C. See “Certain Relationships And Related-Party Transactions—Investment Agreement.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management Services Agreements

We have entered into certain agreements with the Sponsors, or their affiliates, pursuant to which we pay the Sponsors fees for advisory consulting, financial oversight and other services provided and to be provided to us and our subsidiaries. Pursuant to such agreements, subject to certain conditions, we expect to pay an annual management fee to the Sponsors of approximately $3.0 million, will reimburse their out-of-pocket expenses and we may pay the Sponsors additional fees associated with financial advisory and other future transactions.

In addition, the Sponsors each received a one-time transaction fee of $25.0 million for the provision of certain services in connection with the Acquisition, including arranging and negotiating the transaction and arranging and negotiating the funding for the transaction.

Investment Agreement

The Sponsors and any members of management that hold capital stock or options to purchase capital stock of Holdings are or will become parties to an investment agreement with Top Co-op and Holdings, which provides for, among other things, the right of the Sponsors to designate directors of Top Co-op and Holdings, restrictions on transfer of the equity of Top Co-op and Holdings held by such parties, tag-along-rights, drag-along rights, registration rights and certain voting rights.

Arrangements with Executive Officers

See “Management” for a description of arrangements with our directors and executive officers. We may enter into or modify employment agreements with certain of these individuals.

Other Related Party Transactions

Dexon Investments Limited (“Dexon”) is the minority shareholder in our 60% owned subsidiary, Winhere LLC. During Fiscal 2008, Gates Winhere Automotive Pump Products (Yantai) Co Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winhere LLC, purchased land and buildings for $1.8 million from Yantai Winhere Auto Part Manufacturing Co Ltd, a fellow subsidiary of Dexon. As of January 3, 2009, there was a zero balance outstanding in respect of this transaction.

Schrader Duncan Limited is an associate in which we hold a 50% interest. During Fiscal 2009, we and Cosmopolitan Investments (a fellow shareholder) each issued a guarantee in favor of the State Bank of India (“State Bank”) in relation to any principal sum up to a maximum of 480 million Indian rupees ($10.2 million), together with interest and any other costs and charges due to State Bank in respect of credit facilities provided to Schrader Duncan. We and Cosmopolitan Investments are jointly and severally liable for the guaranteed amounts.

From time to time we sell to and purchase from associates and entities controlled by minority shareholders in our subsidiaries (see note 46 to the consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this prospectus). We may from time-to-time enter into contracts with portfolio companies owned by the Sponsors, which may be material in amount. Any such transactions will be on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by us with an unrelated party.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

Description of Senior Secured Credit Facilities

We have entered into our senior secured credit facilities with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and affiliates of the initial purchasers as agents and/or lenders consisting of a senior secured revolving credit facility, a Term Loan A credit facility and a Term Loan B credit facility. Our revolving credit facility provides for multi-currency revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100.0 million. We initially borrowed $300.0 million under the Term Loan A credit facility and $1,700.0 million under the Term Loan B credit facility. On December 29, 2010, we prepaid $4.0 million against the Term Loan A credit facility and $22.7 million against the Term Loan B credit facility. As at December 31, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A credit facility was $296.0 million and that under the Term Loan B credit facility was $1,677.3 million.

The revolving credit facility provides for multi-currency revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100.0 million. As at December 31, 2010, there were no drawings for cash under the revolving credit facility but there were letters of credit outstanding amounting to $40.3 million. We intend to fund working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and investments with borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to availability. Our ability to draw under our senior secured revolving credit facility or issue letters of credit thereunder after the closing date is conditioned upon, among other things, our delivery of prior written notice of borrowing or issuance, as applicable, our ability to reaffirm the representations and warranties contained in our credit agreement and the absence of any default or event of default under our senior secured credit facilities.

Subject to certain conditions, the senior secured revolving credit facility may be increased by up to $100.0 million in additional commitments and the Term Loan B credit facility may be increased by, or new term loan facilities established up to, $400.0 million in additional commitments (less any increase in the revolving credit facility).

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or, at our option, a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan B credit facility is 4.5% per annum for LIBOR and 3.5% per annum for base rate. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility is between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum for LIBOR and 2.75% and 3.25% per annum for base rate depending on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio. LIBOR is subject to a 1.75% floor and base rate is subject to a 2.75% floor. As at December 31, 2010, borrowings under the Term Loan A credit facility attracted an interest rate of 6.0% per annum and those under the Term Loan B credit facility attracted an interest rate of 6.25% per annum (in both cases, to be next re-set on March 31, 2011). Each letter of credit issued under the revolving credit facility attracts a participation fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin under the revolving credit facility to the maximum amount available to be drawn and a fronting fee of the greater of 0.25% of the maximum amount available to be drawn and $1,500 per annum. An unused line fee of 0.75% per annum is based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility (which may decrease to 0.5% per annum based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio).

The following fees are applicable under the senior secured revolving credit facility: (i) an unused line fee of 0.75% per annum, based on the unused portion of the senior secured revolving credit facility, subject to decrease to 0.50% based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio; (ii) a letter of credit participation fee on the aggregate stated amount of each letter of credit available to be drawn equal to the applicable margin for LIBOR loans; (iii) a letter of credit fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the face amount of each letter of credit available to be drawn; and (iv) certain other customary fees and expenses of the lenders and agents.

The Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility mature on September 29, 2015 and the Term Loan B credit facility matures on September 29, 2016. The Term Loan A credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 2.5% and the Term Loan B credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25%, in each case based on the original principal amount less certain prepayments and commencing on March 31, 2011 with the balance payable on maturity.

Table of Contents

We may voluntarily prepay loans or reduce commitments under the senior secured credit facilities, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts without premium or penalty, other than in the case of certain re-pricing transactions with respect to the Term Loan B credit facility prior to September 29, 2011, which shall be subject to a 1% premium. If we prepay LIBOR rate loans other than at the end of an applicable interest period, it is required to reimburse the lenders for any consequential losses or expenses. We must prepay the Term Loan A credit facility and Term Loan B credit facility with net cash proceeds of asset sales, casualty and condemnation events, incurrence of indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred) and a percentage of excess cash flow based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio, in each case subject to certain exceptions such as reinvestment rights.

We are required to make prepayments under our revolving credit facility at any time when, and to the extent that, the aggregate amount of the outstanding loans and letters of credit under the revolving credit facility exceeds the aggregate amount of commitments in respect of the revolving credit facility.

Our obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are guaranteed by Holdings and Pinafore Acquisitions and, subject to customary grace periods following the Acquisition, will be guaranteed by all of our direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions to be agreed, including exclusion of any non-U.S. subsidiaries of a U.S. entity) and secured by a first lien on substantially all of their assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions). The relative rights governing the liens on the senior secured credit facilities and those securing the Notes will be governed by an intercreditor agreement. See “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes—Security for the Notes—Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.”

Our senior secured credit facilities contain customary negative covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Holdings and its subsidiaries’ ability to merge and consolidate with other companies, incur indebtedness, grant liens or security interests on assets, make acquisitions, loans, advances or investments, pay dividends, sell or otherwise transfer assets, optionally prepay or modify the terms of any junior indebtedness, enter into transactions with affiliates or change our line of business. Our senior secured credit facilities require the maintenance of a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum total leverage ratio on a quarterly basis, and impose an annual cap on capital expenditures (subject to certain exceptions and ability to rollover unused amounts).

Our senior secured credit facilities contain customary affirmative covenants, including, but not limited to, delivery of financial and other information to the administrative agent, notice to the administrative agent upon the occurrence of certain material events, maintenance of existence, payment of material taxes and other claims, maintenance of properties and insurance, access to books and records by and meetings with the lenders, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including environmental laws, and further assurances and provision of additional collateral and guarantees.

Our senior secured credit facilities provide that, upon the occurrence of certain events of default, our obligations thereunder may be accelerated and the lending commitments terminated. Such events of default include payment defaults to the lenders, material inaccuracies of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, including the Notes being offered hereby, voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, material money judgments, material pension-plan events, certain change of control events and other customary events of default.

On February 11, 2011, we agreed with the providers of the senior secured credit facilities a re-pricing of Term Loan A and Term Loan B and amendments to certain of the covenants attaching to the facilities. It was agreed that for both Term Loan A and Term Loan B the applicable margin for LIBOR will be reduced to 3.0% per annum, with LIBOR being subject to a 1.25% floor, and the applicable margin for base rate will be reduced to 2.0% per annum, with base rate being subject to a 2.25% floor. The re-pricing became effective on February 17, 2011 and attracted a one-off premium payment by us of $16.8 million.

Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility

As at January 2, 2010, Tomkins had in place a £400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and had in place a $450 million forward-start facility that commenced on the expiry of the existing facility in August 2010 and was itself due to expire in May 2012. Borrowings under the facility attracted interest at floating rates determined by reference to LIBOR. As at January 2, 2010 and during 9M 2010, there were no drawings against the facility, which was replaced by the senior secured credit facilities on the Acquisition.

Description of Medium Term Notes

On December 20, 2001, Tomkins issued the 2011 Notes, which were subsequently guaranteed by Tomkins Finance plc on August 19, 2003. Interest is payable on the 2011 Notes annually in arrears on December 20 of each year up to and including the maturity date of December 20, 2011. On September 16, 2003, Tomkins Finance plc issued the 2015 Notes, which are guaranteed by Tomkins. Interest is payable on the 2015 Notes annually in arrears on September 16 of each year up to and including the maturity date of September 16, 2015. Both the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes were issued under a £750,000,000 medium term note programme (the “Programme”) originally entered into on October 26, 2001. Subsequently, on August 28, 2003, Tomkins Finance plc replaced Tomkins as the issuer under the Programme for notes issued after that date under the Programme, with Tomkins agreeing to act as guarantor of such notes.

At the time of the Acquisition, Tomkins had outstanding the £150 million 2011 Notes and the £250 million 2015 Notes. Each of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes contain a put option giving the holders the option to put their notes to the relevant issuer at par plus accrued interest in the event of a change of control or certain acquisitions and disposals and, in either case, a ratings downgrade occurring as a result of such transaction. On September 13, 2010, we offered to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.787% (plus accrued and unpaid interest) and the outstanding 2015 Notes at a price of 100.50% (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £40.9 million of the 2011 Notes and £109.3 million of the 2015 Notes. On October 6, 2010, the purchase was completed for total consideration of £153.1 million (plus accrued interest of £3.0 million).

On November 19, 2010, we notified holders of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes that the credit rating of the notes had been withdrawn by Moody’s and downgraded by Standard & Poor’s as a consequence of the Acquisition and that this constituted a put event entitling the holders to redeem the notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Put notices were received in respect of £2.1 million of the 2011 Notes and £123.5 million of the 2015 Notes. Settlement took place on December 17, 2010 for total consideration of £125.6 million (plus accrued interest of £2.0 million).

As at December 31, 2010, the principal amount of the outstanding 2011 Notes was £107.0 million and that of the 2015 Notes was £17.2 million.

On December 30, 2010, we made a further offer to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.00% (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £4.9 million of the 2011 Notes. Settlement took place on January 19, 2011 and the principal amount of the outstanding 2011 Notes was thereby reduced to £102.1 million.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc., the co-issuers of the initial notes, hereby offer to exchange a like principal amount of exchange notes representing the same underlying indebtedness as the initial notes for any or all initial notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and accompanying letter of transmittal. We refer to the offer as the “exchange offer.” You may tender some or all of your initial notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

As of the date of this prospectus, $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the initial notes is outstanding (CUSIP Nos. 693492 AC4 and 072209 AB2).

This prospectus, together with the letter of transmittal, is first being sent to all holders of initial notes known to us on or about             , 2011. Our obligation to accept initial notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions set forth under “Conditions to the Exchange Offer” below. We currently expect that each of the conditions will be satisfied and that no waivers will be necessary.

Except as described below, upon the completion of this exchange offer, our obligations with respect to the registration of the initial notes and the exchange notes will terminate. A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement and this summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the registration rights agreement. Assuming the timely filing and effectiveness of the registration statement and consummation of this exchange offer, we will not have to pay additional interest on the initial notes. Following the completion of this exchange offer, holders of initial notes not tendered will not have any further registration rights other than as set forth in the paragraphs below, and the initial notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Additionally, the liquidity of the market for the initial notes could be adversely affected upon consummation of this exchange offer. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Exchange Offer—If you choose not to exchange your initial notes in the exchange offer, the transfer restrictions currently applicable to your initial notes will remain in force and the market price of your initial notes may decline.”

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

In connection with the private placement of the initial notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (as successor-in-interest to Banc of America Securities LLC), Citigroup Global Market Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., RBC Capital Market Corporation and UBS Securities LLC, as representatives of the other initial purchasers of the initial notes, in which we and the guarantors agreed, among other things, to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file a registration statement within 270 days of the issuance of the initial notes and to consummate the exchange offer within 360 days of the issuance of the initial notes. The exchange notes will have terms substantially identical to the terms of the initial notes and represent the same underlying indebtedness as the initial notes, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreements.

Under certain circumstances specified in the registration rights agreement, we may be required to use our commercially reasonable efforts to file and cause the SEC to declare effective a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the initial notes within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreements and to keep the shelf registration statement effective for one year or such shorter period ending when all initial notes or exchange notes covered by the registration statement have been sold in the manner set forth and as contemplated in the registration statement.

If we fail to comply with certain obligations under the registration rights agreements, we will be required to pay additional interest to holders of the initial notes and the exchange notes required to be registered on a shelf registration statement.

Each holder of initial notes that wishes to exchange their initial notes for exchange notes representing the same underlying indebtedness in the exchange offer will be required to make the following written representations:

 

   

any exchange notes to be received by such holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business;

 

138


Table of Contents
   

such holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes in violation of the provisions of the Securities Act;

 

   

such holder is not an affiliate of the issuers or any of the guarantors, as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable;

 

   

it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of exchange notes; and

 

   

such holder has the full power and authority to transfer the initial notes in exchange for the exchange notes and that the issuers will acquire good and unencumbered title thereto free and clear of any liens, restrictions, charges or encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes, where the broker-dealer acquired the initial notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. Please see “Plan of Distribution.”

Resale of Exchange Notes

Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC as set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties referred to below, we believe that you may resell or otherwise transfer exchange notes issued in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:

 

   

you are acquiring the exchange notes in your ordinary course of business;

 

   

you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes;

 

   

you are not an affiliate of the issuers or any of the guarantors, as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act; and

 

   

you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes.

If you are an affiliate of the issuers or any of the guarantors, or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or are not acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business, then:

 

   

you cannot rely on the position of the staff of the SEC enunciated in Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991), Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, or similar no-action letters; and

 

   

in the absence of an exception from the position stated immediately above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.

This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, for the resale or for other retransfer of exchange notes only as specifically set forth in this prospectus. With regard to broker-dealers, only broker-dealers that acquired the initial notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for initial notes where such initial notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. Please read “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of exchange notes.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange in the exchange offer initial notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date. We will issue exchange notes in exchange for a corresponding principal amount of initial notes surrendered in the exchange offer. Initial notes tendered in the exchange offer must be in denominations of the principal amount of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The form and terms of the exchange notes will be substantially identical to the form and terms of the initial notes, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreements. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the initial notes. The exchange notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture under which the initial notes were issued, and the exchange notes and the initial notes will constitute a single class and series of notes for all purposes under the indenture. For a description of the indenture, please see “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes.”

The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of initial notes being tendered for exchange.

There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of initial notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer.

We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Initial notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits that such holders have under the indenture relating to such holders’ initial notes, except for any rights under the registration rights agreement that by their terms terminate upon the consummation of the exchange offer.

We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered initial notes when we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from us and delivering exchange notes to holders. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, we expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept the occurrence of any of the conditions specified below under “Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

Holders who tender initial notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of initial notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read “— Fees and Expenses” below for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.

Expiration Date; Extensions, Amendments

As used in this prospectus, the term “expiration date” means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2011. However, if we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term “expiration date” will mean the latest time and date to which we shall have extended the expiration of the exchange offer.

To extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice, followed by notification to the registered holders of the initial notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

 

140


Table of Contents

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

 

   

to delay accepting for exchange any initial notes (only if we amend or extend the applicable exchange offer);

 

   

to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept initial notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions set forth below under “Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; and

 

   

subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed promptly by oral or written notice to the registered holders of the initial notes, and, to the extent the exchange offer is terminated, any initial notes accepted will be promptly returned after the termination of the exchange offer. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, including the waiver of a material condition or if we terminate the offer, we will notify the exchange agent by oral or written notice, followed by notification to the registered holders of the initial notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the amendment or termination has been determined and will extend the offer period if necessary so that at least five business days remain in the offer following notice of the material change.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue exchange notes in exchange for, any initial notes, and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before accepting any initial notes for exchange, if:

 

   

the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of initial notes, violates any applicable law or interpretation of the staff of the SEC;

 

   

any action or proceeding shall have been instituted or threatened in any court or by any governmental agency that might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer, and any material adverse development shall have occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to us; or

 

   

all governmental approvals shall not have been obtained, which approvals we deem necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer.

 

   

If the exchange offer is terminated, initial notes will be returned to their registered holders.

 

   

In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the initial notes of any holder that has not made to us:

 

   

the representations described under “— Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer” and “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes”; and

 

   

any other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations, or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the exchange notes under the Securities Act.

All conditions to the exchange offer must be satisfied or waived prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

We expressly reserve the right at any time or at various times to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any initial notes due to our extension of the

 

141


Table of Contents

exchange offer by notice by press release or other public announcement as required by Rule 14e-1(d) of the Securities Act of such extension to their holders. During any such extensions, all initial notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange. We will return any initial notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer. We will issue exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any initial notes not previously accepted for exchange upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. We will give notice by press release or other public announcement of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the initial notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them so long as such circumstances do not arise due to our action or inaction or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of such right. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.

Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes

Only a holder of initial notes may tender their initial notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must comply with either of the following:

 

   

complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, have the signature on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal and mail or deliver such letter of transmittal or facsimile to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date; or

 

   

comply with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures described below.

In addition, on or prior to the expiration date, either:

 

   

the exchange agent must receive initial notes along with the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of initial notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below or a properly transmitted agent’s message; or

 

   

the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described

To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive any physical delivery of the letter of transmittal and other required documents at the address set forth below under “— Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration date.

A tender to us that is not withdrawn prior to the expiration date constitutes an agreement between us and the tendering holder upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

The method of delivery of initial notes, letter of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the holder’s election and risk. Rather than mail these items, we recommend that holders use an overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, holders should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. Holders should not send letters of transmittal or certificates representing initial notes to us. Holders may request that their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or other nominees effect the above transactions for them. Do not send letters of transmittal or initial notes to the issuers or any guarantor.

 

142


Table of Contents

If you are a beneficial owner whose initial notes are held in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee who wishes to participate in the exchange offer, you should promptly contact such party and instruct such person to tender initial notes on your behalf.

You must make these arrangements or follow these procedures before completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering the initial notes.

Signatures on the letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the U.S. or another “Eligible Guarantor Institution” within the meaning of Rule 17A(d) -15 under the Exchange Act unless the initial notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

 

   

by a registered holder of the initial notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

for the account of an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any initial notes listed on the initial notes, such initial notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the initial notes and an Eligible Guarantor Institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.

If the letter of transmittal or any certificates representing initial notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should also indicate when signing and, unless waived by us, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act.

The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program to tender. Participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange, electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange by causing DTC to transfer the initial notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, that states that:

 

   

DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its Automated Tender Offer Program that is tendering initial notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation;

 

   

the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal or, in the case of an agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the applicable notice of guaranteed delivery; and

 

   

we may enforce that agreement against such participant.

Book-Entry Delivery Procedures

Promptly after the date of this prospectus, the exchange agent will establish an account with respect to the initial notes at DTC as the book-entry transfer facility, for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the initial notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer those initial notes into the exchange agent’s account at the facility in accordance with the facility’s procedures for such transfer. To be timely, book-entry delivery of initial notes requires receipt of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, a “book-entry confirmation,” prior to the expiration date. In addition, although delivery of initial notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the applicable book-entry transfer facility, the applicable letter of transmittal or a manually signed

 

143


Table of Contents

facsimile thereof, together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an “agent’s message,” as defined above, in connection with a book-entry transfer, must, in any case, be delivered or transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at its address set forth on the cover page of the applicable letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date to receive exchange notes for tendered initial notes, or the guaranteed delivery procedure described below must be complied with. Tender will not be deemed made until such documents are received by the exchange agent. Delivery of documents to the applicable book-entry transfer facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your initial notes but your initial notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your initial notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent or comply with the applicable procedures under DTC’s Automatic Tender Offer Program prior to the expiration date, you may still tender if:

 

   

the tender is made through an Eligible Guarantor Institution;

 

   

prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such Eligible Guarantor Institution either: (i) a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission, mail, or hand delivery or (ii) a properly transmitted agent’s message and notice of guaranteed delivery, that (a) sets forth your name and address, the certificate number(s) of such initial notes and the principal amount of initial notes tendered; (b) states that the tender is being made by that notice of guaranteed delivery; and (c) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, or facsimile thereof, together with the initial notes or a book-entry confirmation, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the Eligible Guarantor Institution with the exchange agent; and

 

   

the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as certificate(s) representing all tendered initial notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation of transfer of the initial notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your initial notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Determination of Validity

The issuer and the guarantors, in their sole discretion, will resolve all questions regarding the form of documents, validity, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance for exchange of any tendered old notes. The determination of these questions by the issuer and the guarantors, as well as their interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. A tender of old notes is invalid until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived. Holders must cure any defects and irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes for exchange within such reasonable period of time as the issuer and the guarantors will determine, unless they waive the defects or irregularities. None of the issuer and the guarantors, any of their respective affiliates or assigns, the exchange agent or any other person is under any obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor will any of them be liable for failing to give any such notice.

The issuer and the guarantors reserve the absolute right, in their sole and absolute discretion:

 

   

to reject any tenders determined to be in improper form or unlawful;

 

   

to waive any of the conditions of the exchange offer; and

 

144


Table of Contents
   

to waive any condition or irregularity in the tender of old notes by any holder, whether or not we waive similar conditions or irregularities in the case of other holders.

If any letter of transmittal, certificate, endorsement, bond power, power of attorney, or any other document required by the letter of transmittal is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, that person must indicate such capacity when signing. In addition, unless waived by the issuer, the person must submit proper evidence satisfactory to the issuer, in its sole discretion, of the person’s authority to so act.

Withdrawal Rights

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of initial notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

For a withdrawal to be effective:

 

   

the exchange agent must receive a written notice, which may be by telegram, telex, facsimile or letter, of withdrawal at its address set forth below under “— Exchange Agent”; or

 

   

you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program system.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

 

   

specify the name of the person who tendered the initial notes to be withdrawn;

 

   

identify the initial notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate numbers and principal amount of the initial notes; and

 

   

where certificates for initial notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such initial notes were registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder.

If certificates for initial notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, you must also submit:

 

   

the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and

 

   

a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless your are an Eligible Guarantor Institution.

If initial notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn initial notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, and eligibility, including time of receipt of notices of withdrawal and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any initial notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any initial notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder, without cost to the holder, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, the initial notes will be credited to an account at the book-entry transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the applicable exchange offer. Properly withdrawn initial notes may be retendered by following the procedures described under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” above at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

Wilmington Trust FSB

c/o Wilmington Trust Company

Attn: Sam Hamed

Corporate Capital Markets

Rodney Square North

1100 North Market Street

Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1626

Fax: +1.302.636.4139

If you deliver the letter of transmittal to an address other than the one set forth above or transmit instructions via facsimile other than the one set forth above, that delivery or those instructions will not be effective.

Fees and Expenses

The registration rights agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the exchange notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of initial notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of initial notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the exchange notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the initial notes, which is the aggregate principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchanges. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the consummation of the exchange offer. We will record the expenses of the exchange offer as incurred.

Transfer Taxes

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchanges of initial notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:

 

   

certificates representing initial notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of initial notes tendered;

 

   

tendered initial notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of initial notes under the exchange offer.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed to that tendering holder.

 

146


Table of Contents

Holders who tender their initial notes for exchange will not be required to pay any transfer taxes. However, holders who instruct us to register exchange notes in the name of, or request that initial notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be required to pay any applicable transfer tax.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange your initial notes for exchange notes under the exchange offer, your initial notes will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer of such initial notes as set forth in the legend printed on the initial notes as a consequence of the issuance of the initial notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

In general, you may not offer or sell your initial notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreements, we do not intend to register resales of the initial notes under the Securities Act.

Other

Participating in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

We may in the future seek to acquire untendered initial notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any initial notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered initial notes.

DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR SECURED SECOND LIEN NOTES

General

In this description, (i) the term “Holdings” refers to Pinafore Holdings B.V. and not its Subsidiaries, (ii) the term “Finance LLC” refers only to Tomkins, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and not to any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) the term “Finance Co” refers only to Tomkins, Inc., a Delaware corporation, a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Finance LLC, and not to any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) the term “Issuers” refers to Finance LLC and Finance Co., and (v) the terms “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to Holdings and its consolidated Subsidiaries. The initial notes were issued and the exchange notes (collectively, the notes) will be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture” or the “Second Lien Notes Indenture”), dated as of September 29, 2010, among the Issuers, the Note Guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as Trustee (the “Trustee” or the “Second Lien Notes Trustee”). The notes are not intended to be and will not be quoted, listed or dealt in or on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market (including The PORTAL Market).

The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture, the notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Indenture, the notes, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, including the definitions of certain terms therein and those terms made a part thereof by the TIA. Capitalized terms used in this “Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes” section and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.

We issued notes with an initial aggregate principal amount of $1.15 billion. We may issue additional notes from time to time after this offering without notice or the consent of holders of notes. Any offering of additional notes is subject to the covenants described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that if any additional notes are not fungible with the notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number. Except as otherwise specified herein, all references to the “notes” include additional notes.

If a holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Issuers or paying agent, the paying agent will deliver payment of all principal, interest and premium, if any, on that holder’s notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the notes will be payable, and the notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of paying agent as specified in the Indenture (which initially shall be a corporate trust office of the Trustee) unless the paying agent elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the holders at their addresses set forth in the register of holders.

The notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Terms of the Notes

The notes will be senior obligations of the Issuers and will have the benefit of the security interest in the Collateral set forth in the Indenture and will mature on October 1, 2018. Each note will bear interest at a rate per annum shown on the cover of this prospectus from September 29, 2010 or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for payable semi-annually to holders of record at the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the interest payment date on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2011.

Additional interest will be payable with respect to the notes in certain circumstances if the Issuers do not consummate the exchange offer (or shelf registration, if applicable).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time on or prior to October 1, 2013, the Issuers may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings (1) by Holdings or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of the Issuers, to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common or preferred equity capital (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings or the Issuers or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of par plus 9% plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional notes) remain outstanding after each such redemption; and provided, further, that such redemption shall occur within 90 days after the date on which any such Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed to each holder of notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.

In connection with any redemption of notes (including with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering), any such redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including any related Equity Offering. In addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed.

Subject to applicable federal and state securities laws, the Issuers or their affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase notes or our other indebtedness. Any such purchases may be made through open market or privately negotiated transactions with third parties or pursuant to one or more tender or exchange offers or otherwise, upon such terms and at such prices as well as with such consideration as the Issuers or any such affiliates may determine.

Selection

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such notes are listed, or if such notes are not so listed, pro rata or by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided, that the Trustee shall not select notes for redemption which would result in a holder of notes with a principal amount of notes less than the minimum denomination. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. On and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption so long as the Issuers have deposited with the paying agent funds sufficient to pay the principal of, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest (if any) on, the notes to be redeemed.

Ranking

The indebtedness evidenced by the notes will be senior Indebtedness of the Issuers, will be equal in right of payment to all existing and future Second Lien Obligations, will be effectively senior in right of payment to all senior unsecured Indebtedness of the Issuers to the extent of the Collateral, will have the benefit of the security interest in the Collateral described below under “—Security for the Notes” and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuers.

Table of Contents

The indebtedness evidenced by the Note Guarantees will be senior Indebtedness of the applicable Note Guarantor, will be equal in right of payment to all existing and future Second Lien Obligations of such Note Guarantor, will have the benefit of the security interest in the Collateral described below under “—Security for the Notes”, will be effectively senior in right of payment to all senior unsecured Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor to the extent of the Collateral and will be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor.

At April 2, 2011, Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries had $3,359.0 million of indebtedness outstanding (excluding $107.6 million of letters of credit).

Although the Indenture will limit the Incurrence of Indebtedness by Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock by the Restricted Subsidiaries, such limitation is subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions. Under certain circumstances, Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial amounts of Indebtedness. Such Indebtedness may be secured Indebtedness constituting Second Lien Obligations. See “—Certain Covenants—Liens” and “Certain Covenants—Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.”

Security for the Notes

The notes and the Note Guarantees will be secured by security interests in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens. The Collateral consists of substantially all of the property and assets, in each case, that are held by the Issuers or any of the U.S. Note Guarantors, subject to the exceptions described below. In addition, the collateral in non-U.S. jurisdictions will consist of those types of assets customarily provided as security for bank loans with certain agreed exceptions.

The Collateral does not include (i) any rights of a grantor with respect to any contract, lease, license or other agreement if (but only to the extent that) the grant of a security interest therein would (x) constitute a violation (including a breach or default) of, a restriction in respect of, or result in the abandonment, invalidation or unenforceability of, such rights in favor of a third party or in conflict with any law, regulation, permit, order or decree of any governmental authority, unless and until all required consents shall have been obtained or (y) expressly give any other party (other than another grantor or its affiliates) in respect of any such contract, lease, license or other agreement, the right to terminate its obligations thereunder; subject to certain qualifications; (ii) any assets to the extent and for so long as the pledge of or security interest in such assets is prohibited by law and such prohibition is not overridden by the UCC or other applicable law; (iii) Equity Interest in excess of 65% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interest entitled to vote of any Foreign Subsidiary of an Issuer or any domestic Note-Guarantor (or any domestic Subsidiary that is treated as a disregarded entity under the Code if substantially all of its assets consist of the Equity Interests of one or more Subsidiaries that are controlled foreign corporations within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code); (iv) any “intent-to use” trademark applications filed, unless and until acceptable evidence of use of such trademark has been filed with and accepted by the US Patent and Trademark Office, to the extent that granting a lien in such trademark application prior to such filing would adversely affect the enforceability, validity, or other rights in such trademark application; (v) assets owned by any grantor on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired that are subject to certain Permitted Liens, if and to the extent that the contract or other agreement pursuant to which such Lien is granted or to which such assets are subject (or the documentation relating thereto) prohibits the creation of any other Lien on such asset; (vi) any particular assets if, in the reasonable judgment of the Issuers evidenced in writing, creating a pledge thereof or security interest therein to the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders would result in any material adverse tax consequences to Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries; (vii) certain immaterial real property and (viii) any particular assets if the burden, cost or consequences (including any adverse tax consequences) to Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiaries of creating or perfecting such pledges or security interests in such assets in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders is excessive in relation to the benefits to be obtained therefrom by the holders.

In addition, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or any successor regulation) is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to require (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of Holdings due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s securities secure the notes, then the securities of such Subsidiary will not be subject to the Liens securing the notes and will automatically be deemed not to be part of the Collateral but only to the extent necessary not to be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to the requirement. In the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (or any successor regulation) is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would require) such Subsidiary’s securities to secure the notes in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Subsidiary, then the securities of such Subsidiary will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Collateral but only to the extent permitted to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement. Except for equity interests and certain other assets of certain of our Subsidiaries, to the extent any Senior Obligations (other than the notes) are secured by any assets of any Note Guarantor or any Issuer, the Second Lien Note Obligations shall be secured by such assets.

Table of Contents

Security interests securing the notes and the proceeds and distributions in respect thereof will be subject to intercreditor arrangements described under “Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement.” The Persons holding other Second Lien Obligations may have rights and remedies with respect to the property subject to such Liens that, if exercised, could adversely affect the value of the Collateral or the ability of the Second Lien Collateral Agent to realize or foreclose on the Collateral on behalf of holders of the notes.

The Issuers and the Note Guarantors are and will be able to incur additional indebtedness in the future that could share in the Collateral, including additional Senior Obligations and Second Lien Obligations. The amount of such Obligations and additional Indebtedness is and will be limited by the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants—Liens” and “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” Under certain circumstances, the amount of such Obligations could be significant.

Post-Closing Matters

Other than the pledge of the capital stock of Tomkins plc, the Issuers may not have any of the security interests on the Collateral in place on the Issue Date. The Issuers will be required to have (i) all security interests in any Collateral constituting personal property located in the United States and Canada in place and perfected no later than 60 days following the Issue Date and (ii) all security interests in any Collateral constituting personal property located outside the United States and Canada or any real property to be in place and perfected no later than 90 days following the Issue Date, or in each case such longer period to the extent such longer period has been agreed to by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent with respect to the Credit Agreement Indebtedness.

After-Acquired Collateral

From and after the Issue Date and subject to certain limitations and exceptions, if the Issuers or any Note Guarantor creates any additional security interest upon any property or asset that would constitute Collateral to secure any Senior Obligations, it must concurrently grant a second-priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such property as security for the notes and the Note Guarantees and if the Issuers or any Note Guarantor creates any additional security interest upon any property or asset that would constitute Collateral to secure any Second Lien Obligations, it must concurrently grant a pari passu-priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) upon such property as security for the notes and the Note Guarantees.

Security Documents

The Issuers, the Note Guarantors and the Second Lien Collateral Agent will enter into one or more Security Documents defining the terms of the security interests that secure the notes and the Note Guarantees. These security interests will secure the payment and performance when due of all of the Obligations of the Issuers and the Note Guarantors under the notes, the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents, as provided in the Security Documents. The Second Lien Collateral Agent will act as a collateral agent on behalf of the Trustee and the noteholders.

Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement

The Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, the Second Lien Collateral Agent, Holdings and the Subsidiaries of Holdings party thereto will enter into the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, which may be amended from time to time without the consent of the holders of the notes to add other parties holding including the Second Lien Note Obligations and Senior Obligations permitted to be incurred under the relevant agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Senior Representative, acting on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, will determine the time and method by which the security interests in the Collateral will be enforced and will have the sole and exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the Security Documents relating to the Collateral and to exercise and enforce all privileges, rights and remedies thereunder according to its direction, including to take or retake control or possession of such Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, marshall, process, sell, lease, dispose of or liquidate such Collateral, including, without limitation, following the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture. The Second Lien Collateral Agent will not be permitted to enforce the security interests even if any event of default under the Second Lien Note Documents has occurred and the Second Lien Note Obligations thereunder have been accelerated except (a) in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding, solely as necessary to file a proof of claim or statement of interest with respect to the Second Lien Note Obligations or (b) as necessary to take any action in order to prove, preserve, perfect or protect (but not enforce) its security interest and rights in, and the perfection and priority of its Lien on, the Collateral.

The Second Lien Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Note Secured Party, has agreed pursuant to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement that (a) it will not (and thereby waives any right to) take any action to challenge, contest or support any other Person in contesting or challenging, directly or indirectly, in any proceeding (including any insolvency or liquidation proceeding), the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of a Lien securing any Senior Obligations held (or purported to be held) by or on behalf of the Senior Representative or any of the Senior Secured Parties or any agent or trustee therefor in any

Collateral or other collateral securing both the Senior Obligations and any Second Lien Note Obligations and (b) it will not oppose or otherwise contest (or support any other Person contesting) any request for judicial relief made in any court by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Parties relating to the lawful enforcement of any first lien on Collateral or other collateral securing both the Senior Obligations and any Second Lien Note Obligations.

Table of Contents

In addition, the Security Documents provide that prior to the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Senior Representative may take actions with respect to the Collateral (including the release of Collateral and the manner of realization (subject to the provisions described under “—Release of Collateral”)) without the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or other Second Lien Note Secured Parties.

The Collateral or proceeds thereof received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, such Collateral upon the exercise of remedies will be applied to the Senior Obligations to be distributed prior to application to any Second Lien Note Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Senior Documents until the Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

In addition, so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, the Second Lien Collateral Agent shall not acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of Holdings or any Subsidiary (and neither Holdings nor any Subsidiary shall grant such Lien) securing any Second Lien Note Obligations that are not also subject to the first lien in respect of the Senior Obligations under the Senior Documents (other than funds deposited for the discharge or defeasance of the Second Lien Notes to the extent permitted by the relevant documents).

The Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Note Secured Party will agree that any Lien purported to be granted on any collateral as security for Senior Obligations shall be deemed to be and shall be deemed to remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on such collateral securing any Second Lien Note Obligations for all purposes regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted, improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in any manner.

If any Senior Secured Party is required in any insolvency or liquidation proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of an Issuer or any Note Guarantor (or any trustee, receiver or similar person therefor), because the payment of such amount was declared to be fraudulent or preferential in any respect or for any other reason, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of setoff or otherwise, then as among the parties thereto, the Senior Obligations shall be deemed to be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and such Senior Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts and shall have all rights thereunder. If the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties thereto.

The Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement will provide that so long as the Discharge of Senior Obligations has not occurred, whether or not any insolvency or liquidation proceeding has been commenced by or against an Issuer or any Note Guarantor, (i) neither the Second Lien Collateral Agent nor any Second Lien Note Secured Party will (x) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff or the right to credit bid debt (except under limited circumstances)) with respect to any collateral securing both the Senior Obligations and any Second Lien Note Obligations in respect of any applicable Second Lien Note Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (y) contest, protest or otherwise object to any foreclosure or enforcement proceeding or action brought with respect to the Collateral or any other collateral by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party in respect of the Senior Obligations, the exercise of any right by the Senior Representative or any Senior Secured Party (or any agent or sub-agent on their behalf) in respect of the Senior Obligations under any control agreement, lockbox agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement to which the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Note Secured Party either is a party or may have rights as a third-party beneficiary, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies as a secured party relating to such collateral or any other collateral under the Senior Documents or otherwise in respect of Senior Obligations, or (z) object to any waiver or forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from or in respect of bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to such collateral or any other collateral in respect of Senior Obligations and (ii) except as otherwise provided in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Senior Representative and the Senior Secured Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including setoff and the right to credit bid their debt), marshal, process and make determinations regarding the release, disposition or restrictions, or waiver or forbearance of rights or remedies with respect to such collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Collateral Agent or any Second Lien Note Secured Party.

In addition, the Second Lien Collateral Agent and each other Second Lien Note Secured Party will agree, among other things, that if an Issuer or any Note Guarantor is subject to any insolvency or liquidation proceeding and the Senior Representative desires to permit the use of cash collateral or to permit an Issuer or any Note Guarantor to obtain DIP Financing, including if such DIP Financing is secured by Liens senior in priority to the Liens securing the Second Lien Note Obligations, then the Second Lien Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and each applicable Second Lien Note Secured Party, will not object to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except to the extent permitted by the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement) and, to the extent the Liens securing the Senior Obligations are subordinated or pari passu with such DIP Financing, will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral and any other collateral to such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as they are subordinated to the Senior Obligations.

Table of Contents

Subject to the terms of the Security Documents, the Issuers and the Note Guarantors have the right to remain in possession and retain exclusive control of the Collateral securing the notes and the Notes Obligations (other than securities, instruments and chattel paper constituting part of the Collateral and deposited with the Senior Representative in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Security Documents), to freely operate the Collateral and to collect, invest and dispose of any income therefrom.

Release of Collateral

The Issuers and the Note Guarantors are entitled to the releases of property and other assets included in the Collateral from the Liens securing the notes under any one or more of the following circumstances:

(1) to enable us to consummate the disposition of such property or assets to the extent not prohibited under the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Asset Sales”;

(2) in the case of a Note Guarantor that is released from its Note Guarantee with respect to the notes, the release of the property and assets of such Note Guarantor;

(3) as described under “—Amendment, Supplement and Waiver” below; or

(4) to the extent required by the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreements.

The security interests in all Collateral securing the notes also will be released upon (i) payment in full of the principal of, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any) on, the notes and all other Obligations under the Indenture, the Note Guarantees and the Security Documents that are due and payable at or prior to the time such principal, together with accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), are paid (including pursuant to a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture as described below under “—Satisfaction and Discharge”) or (ii) a legal defeasance or covenant defeasance under the Indenture as described below under “—Defeasance.”

Note Guarantees

As promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days of the Issue Date (the “60 Day Post-Closing Period”) Holdings and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers), that are borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Agreement, excluding certain entities that would trigger a Rule 3-10 release as reasonably determined by Holdings, will jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a second lien basis the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture and the notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or additional interest on the notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Note Guarantors being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

Each Note Guarantee of a Note Guarantor will rank:

 

   

equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor but, to the extent of the value of the Collateral, will be effectively senior to such Indebtedness;

 

   

senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor, if any;

 

   

effectively subordinated to any obligations of such Note Guarantor secured by Permitted Liens to the extent of the value of the assets of such Note Guarantor to these Permitted Liens; and

 

   

structurally subordinated to any Indebtedness or Obligations of any of such Note Guarantor’s non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Each Note Guarantee will be limited in amount to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Note Guarantor without rendering the Note Guarantee, as it relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. See “Risk Factors—Risk Related to the Notes.” Thereafter, Holdings will cause each Restricted Subsidiary (unless such Subsidiary is already a Note Guarantor) that guarantees the Credit Agreement or any other capital markets debt securities of the Issuers or any Note Guarantor to execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the notes on the same senior basis. See “—Certain Covenants—Future Guarantors.”

Each Note Guarantee will be a continuing guarantee and, subject to the next succeeding paragraph, shall:

(1) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations;

(2) be binding upon each such Note Guarantor and its successors; and

 

154


Table of Contents

(3) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the holders and their successors, transferees and assigns.

A Note Guarantee of a Note Guarantor will be automatically released and discharged upon:

(a) the sale, disposition or other transfer (including through merger or consolidation) of the Capital Stock (including any sale, disposition or other transfer following which the applicable Note Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary), or all or substantially all the assets, of the applicable Note Guarantor if such sale, disposition or other transfer is made in compliance with the Indenture,

(b) Holdings designating such Note Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions set forth under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments” and the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary,”

(c) the case of any Restricted Subsidiary that after the Issue Date is required to guarantee the notes pursuant to the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Future Guarantors,” the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of Holdings or any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary or the repayment of the Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock, in each case, which resulted in the obligation to guarantee the notes, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment under such other guarantee,

(d) the Issuers’ exercise of their legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under “—Defeasance,” or if the Issuers’ obligations under the Indenture are discharged in accordance with the terms of the Indenture,

(e) upon the release or discharge of all other Guarantees by such Guarantor of Indebtedness of the Issuers or any other Guarantor, except if a release or discharge is by or as a result of payment under such other guarantees, or

(f) the event that Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Rule 3-10”) would require separate financial statements of any Subsidiary of Holdings that is a Note Guarantor to be filed with the SEC solely because such Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee is not a Full and Unconditional guarantee under the notes and the Indenture as reasonably determined by Holdings (the “Rule 3-10 Limitation”); provided, however, that such Subsidiary’s Note Guarantee will automatically be reinstated or provided on such date that it is reasonably determined by Holdings that the Rule 3-10 Limitation no longer exist.

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, Holdings will be a guarantor to the notes for so long as the notes are outstanding.

Full and Unconditional” has the meaning set forth in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act.

Holdings’ Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that are not expected to be Note Guarantors accounted for: (i) 40% of our sales; (ii) 46% of our Adjusted EBITDA; (iii) 40% of our total assets; and (iv) 24% of our total liabilities. All of the above percentages are calculated from ongoing operations only, and are as of and for the twelve months ended July 3, 2010. Both (i) and (ii) are calculated excluding corporate center entities.

Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Change of Control”), each holder will have the right to require the Issuers to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), except to the extent the Issuers have previously elected to redeem notes as described under “—Optional Redemption”:

(1) the sale, lease or transfer, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all the assets of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to a Person other than any of the Permitted Holders; or

(2) Holdings becomes aware (by way of a report or any other filing pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, proxy, vote, written notice or otherwise) of the acquisition by any Person or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act, or any successor provision), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than any of the Permitted Holders, in a single transaction or in a related series of transactions, by way of merger, consolidation or other business combination or purchase of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, or any successor provision), of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of Holdings, or any direct or indirect parent of Holdings.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Specified Merger/Transfer Transaction, as described under “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets” shall constitute a Change of Control.

 

155


Table of Contents

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuers have exercised their right to redeem the notes as described under “—Optional Redemption,” the Issuers shall mail a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder with a copy to the Trustee describing:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such holder has the right to require the Issuers to purchase such holder’s notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date);

(2) the transaction or transactions constitute a Change of Control;

(3) the repurchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent); and

(4) the instructions determined by the Issuers that a holder must follow in order to have its notes purchased.

The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuers and purchases all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, and conditioned upon such Change of Control.

The Issuers will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14(e)-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of such covenant, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this paragraph by virtue of such compliance.

The provisions under the Indenture relating to the Issuers’ obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes.

Certain Covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants contained in the Indenture. If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following covenants or provisions (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”):

(1) “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”;

(2) “—Limitation on Restricted Payments”;

(3) “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries”;

(4) “—Asset Sales”;

(5) “—Transactions with Affiliates”;

(6) clause (4) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets”; and

(7) “—Future Guarantors.”

In the event that Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture with respect to future events.

The period of time between the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Cash Proceeds shall be reset at zero. In the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to notes; provided that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after any such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though the covenant described under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period, provided that no Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during the Suspension Period, and (2) all Indebtedness Incurred, or Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred or issued pursuant to clause (c) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock.” In addition, for purposes of the covenant described under “—Transactions with Affiliates,” all agreements and arrangements entered into by Holdings and any Restricted Subsidiary with an Affiliate of Holdings during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date will be deemed to have been entered into on or prior to the Issue Date and for purposes of the covenant described under “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries,” all contracts entered into during the Suspension Period prior to such Reversion Date that contain any of the restriction contemplated by such covenant will be deemed to have been existing on the Issue Date.

Holdings shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on Holdings’ and its Subsidiaries future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

provided, however, that Holdings and any Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings may Incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock and the Issuers and any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Note Guarantor may issue shares of Preferred Stock, in each case if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is Incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 2.00 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been Incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period; provided, further, that the amount of Indebtedness (excluding Acquired Indebtedness not incurred in connection with or in contemplation of the applicable merger, acquisition or other similar transaction) that may be Incurred and Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock that may be issued pursuant to the foregoing by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Note Guarantors of the notes shall not exceed $100.0 million at any one time outstanding pursuant to this paragraph and clause (u) below at such time.

Table of Contents

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuers shall, in their sole discretion, at the time of Incurrence, divide, classify or reclassify, or at any later time divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) in any manner that complies with this covenant, provided that all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (a) and the Issuers shall not be permitted to reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness. Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in the form of additional shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the same class, the accretion of liquidation preference and increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies will not be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant. Note Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness, provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

Limitation on Restricted Payments. The Indenture will provide that Holdings will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(1) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on account of Holdings’ or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests, including any payment made in connection with any merger or consolidation involving Holdings (other than dividends, payments or distributions (A) payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of Holdings or to Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (B) by a Restricted Subsidiary or Holdings so long as, in the case of any dividend or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary, Holdings or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities);

(2) purchase or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent of Holdings;

(3) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (A) Subordinated Indebtedness in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (B) Indebtedness permitted under clause (i) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”); or

(4) make any Restricted Investment;

(all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, Holdings could Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness under the provisions of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”; and

(14) existing under, by reason of or with respect to Refinancing Indebtedness; provided that the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the agreements governing that Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

shall each be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for the purposes of this provision.

Within 365 days after Holdings’ or any Restricted Subsidiary’s receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale, Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale, at its option:

(1) to repay Indebtedness constituting Senior Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto),

(2) to repay Indebtedness constituting Second Lien Obligations (and, if the Indebtedness repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) (provided that (x) to the extent that the terms of Second Lien Obligations other than the Second Lien Note Obligations and other than any capital markets debt securities require that such Second Lien Obligations are repaid with the Net Cash Proceeds of Asset Sales prior to repayment of other Indebtedness, the Issuers shall be entitled to repay such other Second Lien Obligations prior to repaying the Obligations under the notes and (y) subject to the foregoing clause (x), if the Issuers or any Note Guarantor shall so reduce Second Lien Obligations, the Issuers will equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the notes through

open-market purchases (provided that such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all holders to purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any, the pro rata principal amount of notes),

(3) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings), assets, or property or capital expenditures, in each case used or useful in a Similar Business,

(4) to make an investment in any one or more businesses (provided that if such investment is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock of a Person, such acquisition results in such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings), properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale, or

(5) any combination of the foregoing.

provided that Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clauses (3) and (4) of this paragraph if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuers have entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire the assets or Capital Stock of a Similar Business, make an Investment in Replacement Assets or make a capital expenditure in compliance with the provision described in clauses (3) and (4) of this paragraph, and that acquisition, purchase or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.

Pending the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, Holdings or such Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuers may temporarily reduce Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in Cash Equivalents or Investment Grade Securities. Any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale that are not applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the two preceding paragraphs (it being understood that any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds used to make an offer to purchase notes, as described in clause (1) above, shall be deemed to have been invested whether or not such offer is accepted) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuers shall make an offer to all holders of notes (and, at the option of the Issuers, to holders of any Second Lien Obligations) (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to purchase the maximum principal amount of notes (and such Second Lien Obligations), that is at least $2,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000 that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or, in the event such Second Lien Obligations were issued with significant original issue discount, 100% of the accreted value thereof), plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any (or, in respect of such Second Lien Obligations, such lesser price, if any, as may be provided for by the terms of such Second Lien Obligations), to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten (10) Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceeds $50.0 million by mailing the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. To the extent that the aggregate amount of notes (and such Second Lien Obligations) tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of notes (and such Second Lien Obligations) surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the notes to be purchased in the manner described below. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

If more notes (and such Second Lien Obligations) are tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer than the Issuers are required to purchase, selection of such notes for purchase will be made by the Trustee in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which such notes are listed, or if such notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis or by lot or such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal requirements); provided that no notes of $2,000 or less shall be purchased in part. Selection of such Second Lien Obligations will be made pursuant to the terms of such Second Lien Obligations.

Notices of an Asset Sale Offer shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, or sent electronically, at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the purchase date to each holder of notes at such holder’s registered address. If any note is to be purchased in part only, any notice of purchase that relates to such note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be purchased.

(8)(a) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture, which are fair to Holdings and the Restricted Subsidiaries of Holdings in the reasonable determination of Holdings, and are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party or (b) transactions with joint ventures or Unrestricted Subsidiaries entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(2) the Successor Company (if other than such Issuer) expressly assumes all the obligations of such Issuer under the Indenture, the notes and the Security Documents pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments;

(3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(4) immediately after giving pro forma effect to such transaction, as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either

(b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Successor Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be greater than such ratio for Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction;

(5) if the Successor Company is other than such Issuer, each Note Guarantor, unless it is the other party to the transactions described above, shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Note Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations under the Indenture and the notes; and

The Successor Company (if other than such Issuer) will succeed to, and be substituted for, the Issuer under the Indenture, the notes and the Security Documents, and in such event the Issuer will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under the Indenture, the notes and the Security Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing clauses (3) and (4), (a) an Issuer may consolidate with, merge into or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or part of its properties and assets to Holdings, the other Issuer or to any Restricted Subsidiary and (b) an Issuer may merge or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Issuer in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States and (c) the Transactions may occur so long as the amount of Indebtedness of such Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby (any transaction described in this sentence, a “Specified Merger/Transfer Transaction”).

The Indenture will further provide that subject to certain limitations in the Indenture governing release of a Note Guarantee upon the sale or disposition of Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiary (other than to an Issuer) that is a Note Guarantor, each Note Guarantor will not, and Holdings will not permit any Note Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Note Guarantor is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, any Person (herein called the “Successor Guarantor”) (other than the Transactions) unless:

(1) such sale or disposition or consolidation or merger is not in violation of the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Asset Sales”;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Guarantor or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(3) the Successor Guarantor (if other than such Note Guarantor) shall have delivered or caused to be delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture (if any) comply with the Indenture.

Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture, the Successor Guarantor will succeed to, and be substituted for, such Note Guarantor under the Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, and such Note Guarantor will automatically be released and discharged from its obligations under the Indenture and such Note Guarantor’s Note Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Note Guarantor may merge or consolidate with an Affiliate incorporated or organized solely for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing such Note Guarantor in another state of the United States, the District of Columbia or any territory of the United States, so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Note Guarantor is not increased thereby, (2) a Note Guarantor may merge or consolidate with another Note Guarantor or the Issuers and (3) a Note Guarantor may convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Note Guarantor.

Defaults

An Event of Default will be defined in the Indenture with respect to a series of notes as:

(1) a default in any payment of interest on any note of such series when the same becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,

(2) a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any, of any note when due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required repurchase, upon declaration or otherwise,

(3) failure by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under the captions “—Change of Control,” or “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets” or the provisions described in the third paragraph under the caption “—Note Guarantees” for 30 days after written notice by the trustee or holders representing 25% or more of the aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding,

(4) the failure by Holdings or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply for 60 days after written notice with its other agreements contained in the notes or the Indenture,

(5) the failure by Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings to pay any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness owing to Holdings or its Restricted Subsidiary) within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default, each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (the “cross acceleration provision”),

 

172


Table of Contents

(6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of Holdings or a Significant Subsidiary of Holdings (the “bankruptcy provisions”),

(7) failure by Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days and, in the event, such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed (the “judgment default provision”),

(8) the Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of Holdings ceases to be in full force and effect in any material respect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any such Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under such Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 21 days after notice of such Default shall have been given to the Trustee,

(9) unless all of the Collateral has been released in accordance with the provisions of the Security Documents from the Liens granted thereunder, an Issuer shall assert or any Note Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of Holdings, Holdings fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after Holdings has actual knowledge of such assertions, or

(10) the failure by an Issuer or any Note Guarantor to comply for 60 days after written notice with its other agreements contained in the Security Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the holders of the notes and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole (together with the defaults described in clauses (9) and (10), the “security default provisions”).

The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

However, a default under clause (3), (4) or (10) will not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes notify the Issuers of the default and the Issuers do not cure such default within the time specified in clause (3), (4) or (10) hereof after receipt of such notice.

If an Event of Default (other than a Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers) and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes by notice to the Issuers may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the notes to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers occur, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the notes will become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders. Under certain circumstances, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding notes may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the notes and its consequences.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (5) of the first paragraph above, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) will be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the holders of the notes, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the notes as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders unless such holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the notes unless:

(1) such holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing,

(2) holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy,

 

173


Table of Contents

(3) such holders have offered the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense,

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and

(5) the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of outstanding notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes) and any existing or past default or compliance with any provisions of such documents may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, notes). However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding note affected, no amendment may (with respect to any notes held by a non-consenting holder):

(1) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment,

(2) reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any note,

(3) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity of any note,

(4) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any note or change the time at which any note may be redeemed as described under “—Optional Redemption,”

(5) make any note payable in money other than that stated in such note,

(6) impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such holder’s notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such holder’s notes,

(7) make any change in the amendment provisions that require each holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions,

(8) expressly subordinate the notes or any Note Guarantee or otherwise modify the ranking thereof to any other Indebtedness of the Issuers or any Note Guarantor, or

(9) modify the Note Guarantees in any manner adverse to the holders.

Without the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding, no amendment or waiver (i) may release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Lien of the Indenture and the Security Documents with respect to the notes or (ii) make any change in the provisions in the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement or the Indenture dealing with the application of proceeds of Collateral that would adversely affect the holders of the notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of any holder, the Issuers and Trustee may amend the Indenture, the note, the Note Guarantees, any Security Document or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the notes, to provide for the assumption by a Successor Note Guarantor of the obligations of a Note Guarantor under the Indenture and its Note Guarantee, to provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code), to add or release a Note Guarantee with respect to the notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and to comply with the provisions described under “—Guarantees,” to add additional assets as Collateral, to release Collateral from the Lien pursuant to the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement when permitted or required by the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Second Lien Intercreditor

Agreement, to modify the Security Documents and/or the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement to secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors holding other Second Lien Obligations or junior lien Obligations of the Issuers or any Note Guarantor so long as such other Second Lien Obligations or junior lien Obligations are not prohibited by the provisions of the Credit Agreement, Indenture and any other relevant agreement to add to the covenants of Holdings for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon Holdings, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder or that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the holders to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA to effect any provision of the Indenture, to make certain changes to the Indenture to provide for the issuance of additional notes (and the grant of security for the benefit of the additional notes); conform the text of the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees or any security document to any provision of this Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes to the extent that such provision in this Description of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes was intended to be a verbatim recitation of the Indenture, the notes, the Note Guarantees or any security document; evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee, provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of the Indenture, or evidence and provide for a successor or replacement Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Indenture and Security Documents; make, complete or confirm any grant of Collateral permitted or required by the Indenture or any of the Security Documents or any release, termination or discharge of Collateral that becomes effective as set forth in the Indenture or any of the Security Documents; mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or grant a security interest in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the notes as additional security for the payment and performance of the Issuer’s and any Note Guarantor’s obligations under the Indenture, in any property, or assets, including any of which are required to be mortgaged, pledged or hypothecated, or in which a security interest is required to be granted to the Trustee or the Second Lien Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture or otherwise; provide for the succession of any parties to the Indenture and Security Documents (and other amendments that are administrative or ministerial in nature), including, the replacement of the Second Lien Collateral Agent under the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, in connection with any incurrence of additional secured obligations or an amendment, renewal, extension, substitution, refinancing, restructuring, replacement, supplementing or other modification from time to time of any agreement in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and the relevant security document; provide for a reduction in the minimum denominations of the notes; make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of the notes, provided that compliance with the Indenture as so amended may not result in notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities laws; provide for the assumption by one or more successors of the obligations of any of the Note Guarantors under the Indenture and the Note Guarantees; or comply with the rules of any applicable securities depositary.

The consent of the holders of the notes is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Issuers or Holdings or any other direct or indirect parent or any Note Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Note Guarantors under the notes, the Note Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Transfer and Exchange

A noteholder may transfer or exchange notes in accordance with the Indenture. Upon any transfer or exchange, the registrar and the Trustee may require a noteholder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Issuers may require a noteholder to pay any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Issuers are not required to transfer or exchange any note selected for redemption or to transfer or exchange any note for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of notes to be redeemed or tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer. The notes will be issued in registered form and the registered holder of a note will be treated as the owner of such note for all purposes.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all outstanding notes when:

(1) either (a) all the notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (except lost stolen or destroyed notes which have been replaced or paid and notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by an Issuer and thereafter repaid to an Issuer or discharged from such trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (b) all of the notes (i) have become due and payable, (ii) will become due and payable at their stated maturity within one year or (iii) if redeemable at the option of the Issuers, are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and an Issuer or any Note Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee funds in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the notes not theretofore delivered to

 

175


Table of Contents

the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes to the date of deposit together with irrevocable instructions from the Issuers directing the Trustee to apply such funds to the payment thereof at maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(2) the Issuers and/or the Note Guarantors have paid all other sums payable under the Indenture; and

(3) the Issuers have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an opinion of counsel stating that all conditions precedent under the Indenture relating to the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture have been complied with.

The Collateral will be released from the lien securing the notes, as provided in the Indenture and Security Documents upon a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with the provisions described above.

Defeasance

The Issuers at any time may terminate all their obligations and all obligations of the Note Guarantors under the notes and the Indenture (“legal defeasance”) and cure all then existing Events of Default, except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the notes. The Issuers at any time may terminate their obligations under certain covenants that are described in the Indenture, including the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants,” the operation of the cross acceleration provision, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and the judgment default provision and the security default provisions described under “—Defaults” and the undertakings and covenants contained under “—Change of Control” and “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets” (“covenant defeasance”). If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option or their covenant defeasance option, each Note Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations with respect to its Note Guarantee and the Security Documents.

The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding their prior exercise of their covenant defeasance option. If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (3), (4), (5) (with respect to any Default by the Issuers or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries with any of its obligations under the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants”), (6), (7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries), (8), (9) or (10) under “—Defaults”.

In order to exercise either defeasance option, the Issuers must irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal, premium (if any) and interest on the applicable issue of notes to redemption or maturity, as the case may be, and must comply with certain other conditions, including delivery to the Trustee of an opinion of counsel to the effect that holders of the notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred (and, in the case of legal defeasance only, such opinion of counsel must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or change in applicable Federal income tax law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the opinion of counsel required by the immediately preceding sentence with respect to a legal defeasance need not be delivered if all notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have become due and payable or (y) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers.

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in excess of 12 months). Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuers to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with IFRS-EU.

BOOK-ENTRY, DELIVERY AND FORM OF SECURITIES

The Global Notes

The exchange notes will be issued in the form of one or more registered notes in global form, without interest coupons (the “global notes”).

Upon issuance, each of the global notes will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for DTC and registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC.

Ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC (“DTC participants”) or persons who hold interests through DTC participants. We expect that under procedures established by DTC:

 

   

upon deposit of each global note with DTC’s custodian, DTC will credit portions of the principal amount of the global note to the accounts of the DTC participants designated by the initial purchasers; and

 

   

ownership of beneficial interests in each global note will be shown on, and transfer of ownership of those interests will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to interests of DTC participants) and the records of DTC participants (with respect to other owners of beneficial interests in the global note).

Beneficial interests in the global notes may not be exchanged for notes in physical, certificated form except in the limited circumstances described below.

Book-Entry Procedures for the Global Notes

All interests in the global notes will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking, Société Anonyme (“Clearstream”). We provide the following summaries of those operations and procedures solely for the convenience of investors. The operations and procedures of each settlement system are controlled by that settlement system and may be changed at any time. We are not responsible for those operations or procedures.

DTC has advised us that it is:

 

   

a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;

 

   

a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law;

 

   

a member of the Federal Reserve System;

 

   

a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code; and

 

   

a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers; banks and trust companies; clearing corporations and other organizations. Indirect access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies; these indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not DTC participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC participants or indirect participants in DTC.

 

198


Table of Contents

So long as DTC’s nominee is the registered owner of a global note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by that global note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a global note:

 

   

will not be entitled to have notes represented by the global note registered in their names;

 

   

will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated notes; and

 

   

will not be considered the owners or holders of the notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee under the indenture.

As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a global note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a noteholder under the indenture (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).

Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the notes represented by a global note will be made by the trustee to DTC’s nominee as the registered holder of the global note. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for the payment of amounts to owners of beneficial interests in a global note, for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of those interests by DTC, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of DTC relating to those interests.

Payments by participants and indirect participants in DTC to the owners of beneficial interests in a global note will be governed by standing instructions and customary industry practice and will be the responsibility of those participants or indirect participants and DTC.

Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC’s procedures and will be settled in same-day funds. Transfers between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream will be effected in the ordinary way under the rules and operating procedures of those systems.

Cross-market transfers between DTC participants, on the one hand, and Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other hand, will be effected within DTC through the DTC participants that are acting as depositaries for Euroclear and Clearstream. To deliver or receive an interest in a global note held in a Euroclear or Clearstream account, an investor must send transfer instructions to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, under the rules and procedures of that system and within the established deadlines of that system. If the transaction meets its settlement requirements, Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, will send instructions to its DTC depositary to take action to effect final settlement by delivering or receiving interests in the relevant global notes in DTC, and making or receiving payment under normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Euroclear and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to the DTC depositaries that are acting for Euroclear or Clearstream.

Because of time zone differences, the securities account of a Euroclear or Clearstream participant that purchases an interest in a global note from a DTC participant will be credited on the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream immediately following the DTC settlement date. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream from the sale of an interest in a global note to a DTC participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account as of the business day for Euroclear or Clearstream following the DTC settlement date.

DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the above procedures to facilitate transfers of interests in the global notes among participants in those settlement systems. However, the settlement systems are not obligated to perform these procedures and may discontinue or change these procedures at any time. Neither we nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their participants or indirect participants of their obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Notes

Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related notes only if:

 

   

DTC notifies us at any time that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary for the global notes or ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days of the date we are so informed in writing or become aware of same;

 

   

we, at our option and subject to DTC’s procedures, notify the trustee that we elect to cause the issuance of certificated notes; or

 

   

certain other events provided in the indenture should occur.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to the exchange of initial notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, U.S. Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. This discussion does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as banks, financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, foreign persons or entities, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such entities, holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations and persons holding the notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated transaction. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed. The discussion applies only to holders that exchange initial notes for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

No rulings from the IRS have or will be sought with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the exchange of initial notes for exchange notes or that any such position would not be sustained. Holders of notes should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the application of the tax consequences discussed below to their particular situations as well as the application of any state, local, foreign or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws, and any tax treaties.

Characterization of the Notes

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, while not free from doubt, we intend to treat the notes as debt of Tomkins, LLC. The determination of whether an instrument is debt or equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes is an inherently factual question, and no one factor is determinative. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not contend, and that a court will not ultimately hold, that the notes are equity. In such event, holders of the notes could be subject to different tax consequences than what is described below. The following discussion assumes that the notes are property treated as debt of Tomkins, LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Exchange Pursuant to the Exchange Offer

The exchange of the initial notes for the exchange notes in the exchange offer will not be treated as an “exchange” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, because the exchange notes will not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the initial notes. Accordingly, the exchange of initial notes for exchange notes will not be a taxable event to holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Moreover, the exchange notes will have the same tax attributes as the initial notes exchanged therefor and the same tax consequences to holders as the initial notes have to holders, including without limitation, the same issue price, adjusted issue price, adjusted tax basis and holding period.

  VII. to the extent the acquisition by or on behalf of such Plan would not otherwise constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

If you are a broker-dealer who holds unregistered notes for your own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and who receives exchange notes in exchange for your unregistered notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you must acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of your exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by you in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for your unregistered notes where your unregistered notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period beginning on the date the exchange offer is consummated and ending on the earlier of 180 days after the date of this prospectus and the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making activities or other trading activities, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers or any other persons. If you are a broker-dealer, exchange notes you receive for your own account pursuant to this exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. You may make resales directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. If you are a broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by you for your own account pursuant to this exchange offer and you participate in a distribution of the exchange notes, you may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by you may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that you will be delivering a prospectus, you will not be deemed to admit that you are an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incidental to this exchange offer other than commissions or concessions of any broker-dealers and will indemnify the holders of the exchange notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Pinafore Holdings B.V.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pinafore Holdings B.V. and subsidiaries (the ‘Company’) as at December 31, 2010 (Successor Company balance sheet) and as at January 2, 2010 (Predecessor Company balance sheet), and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (Successor Company operations) and for the period from January 3, 2010 through September 24, 2010, for the 52-week period from January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 and for the 53-week period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (Predecessor Company operations). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the Successor Company consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pinafore Holdings B.V. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2010 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from September 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Further, in our opinion, the Predecessor Company consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Predecessor Company as at January 2, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from January 3, 2010 through September 24, 2010, the 52-week period from January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 and the 53-week period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Incorporation of the Company and acquisition of Tomkins

Pinafore Holdings B.V. (‘the Company’ or ‘the Successor’) was incorporated on September 1, 2010 in and under the laws of The Netherlands.

The Company’s immediate and ultimate parent entity is Pinafore Coöperatief U.A. (‘the Co-operative’), which also operates in and under the laws of The Netherlands. The Co-operative is owned by a consortium representing the interests of Onex Corporation (‘Onex’), a Canadian private equity investor, Onex Partners III and various syndication participants, and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (‘CPPIB’).

On September 24, 2010, Tomkins Acquisitions Limited (formerly Pinafore Acquisitions Limited), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company that is incorporated in and under the laws of the United Kingdom, acquired the entire issued ordinary share capital of Tomkins plc (‘the Predecessor’).

Tomkins plc is incorporated in and under the laws of the United Kingdom. On the acquisition date, Tomkins plc was re-registered as a private company and its name was changed to Tomkins Limited.

Further information on the acquisition of the group headed by Tomkins Limited (‘Tomkins’) is presented in note 41.

References in these consolidated financial statements to ‘the Group’ refer, in the periods prior to the acquisition of Tomkins, to Tomkins Limited and its subsidiaries and, in the period subsequent to the acquisition of Tomkins, to the Company and its subsidiaries.

 

2. Nature of operations

As a consequence of the acquisition of Tomkins, the Group comprises a global engineering and manufacturing business.

The Group is organized for management reporting purposes into two business groups: Industrial & Automotive and Building Products. Within these two business groups, management distinguishes between those of the Group’s operating segments that are ongoing and those that have been exited but do not meet the conditions to be classified as discontinued operations.

Industrial & Automotive manufactures a wide range of systems and components for the industrial equipment, car and truck manufacturing markets, and industrial and automotive aftermarkets throughout the world. Industrial & Automotive is comprised of four ongoing operating segments: Power Transmission, Fluid Power, Sensors & Valves and Other Industrial & Automotive.

Building Products is comprised of two ongoing operating segments: Air Distribution and Bathware. Air Distribution

supplies the industrial and residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning market, mainly in North America. Bathware manufactures baths and whirlpools for the residential, and hotel and resort development markets, mainly in North America.

 

3. Principal accounting policies

A. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRSs’) adopted for use in the European Union and, except as described under the heading ‘Financial instruments’, under the historical cost convention.

From the Group’s perspective, there are no applicable differences between IFRS adopted for use in the European Union and IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and, therefore, the financial statements also comply with IFRSs as issued by the IASB.

During the period, the Group adopted early the Amendments to IAS 24 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ and the Amendments to IFRIC 14 ‘IAS19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction’ that were issued by the IASB in November 2009. Adoption of these pronouncements had no impact on the Group’s results or financial position.

B. Accounting periods

Financial statements are presented for the periods preceding and succeeding the acquisition of Tomkins.

The financial statements for the periods preceding the acquisition of Tomkins, the Predecessor financial statements, comprise the consolidated financial statements of Tomkins Limited. Prior to the acquisition, Tomkins drew up its annual financial statements to the Saturday nearest December 31. Accordingly, Predecessor financial statements are presented for the 53-week period from December 30, 2007 to January 3, 2009 (‘Fiscal 2008’), the 52-week period from January 4, 2009 to January 2, 2010 (‘Fiscal 2009’) and the 38-week period from January 3, 2010 to September 24, 2010 (‘9M 2010’). The Predecessor financial statements do not reflect the effects of the accounting for the acquisition of Tomkins.

The financial statements for the period succeeding the acquisition, the Successor financial statements, comprise the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company draws up its annual financial statements to December 31. Although the Company was incorporated on September 1, 2010, it had no assets or liabilities

(other than the proceeds of the ordinary shares issued on incorporation) and no operations prior to the acquisition of Tomkins. Accordingly, the Successor financial statements

B. Accounting periods (continued)

 

present the results of the Successor’s operations for the 14-week period from September 25, 2010 to December 31, 2010 (‘Q4 2010’).

C. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the results, cash flows and assets and liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Group’s share of the results and net assets of its associates.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled, either directly or indirectly, by the Company, where control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefit from its activities. The results of a subsidiary acquired during the period are included in the Group’s results from the effective date of acquisition. The results of a subsidiary sold during the period are included in the Group’s results up to the effective date of disposal.

Intra-Group transactions and balances, and any unrealized profits or losses arising from intra-Group transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.

D. Associates

An associate is an entity over which the Company, either directly or indirectly, is in a position to exercise significant influence by participating in, but not controlling or jointly controlling, the financial and operating policies of the entity.

Associates are accounted for using the equity method whereby the investments in associates are carried in the balance sheet at cost as adjusted for changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of the associate, less any recognized impairment. Profits or losses recognized by the Company or its subsidiaries on transactions with an associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associate concerned.

Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in the entity are not recognized, except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations on behalf of the entity.

E. Foreign currency translation

At entity level, transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the entity’s functional currency at the exchange rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences arising at entity level are recognized in profit or loss.

On consolidation, the results of foreign operations are translated into the Group’s presentation currency at the average exchange rate for the period and their assets and liabilities are translated into the Group’s presentation

currency at the exchange rate ruling on the balance sheet date. Currency translation differences arising on consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income and taken to the currency translation reserve.

In the event that a foreign operation is sold, the gain or loss on disposal recognized in profit or loss is determined after taking into account the cumulative currency translation differences arising on consolidation of the operation.

In the cash flow statement, the cash flows of foreign operations are translated into the Group’s presentation currency at the average exchange rate for the period.

F. Revenue

Revenue from the sale of goods is measured at the invoiced amount net of returns, early settlement discounts, rebates and sales taxes and is recognized only where there is persuasive evidence of a sales agreement, the delivery of goods has occurred and, where there are contractual acceptance provisions, the customer has accepted the goods (or the right to reject them has lapsed), the sale price is fixed or determinable and the collectability of revenue is reasonably assured.

Where a customer has the right to return unwanted goods, future returns are estimated based on historical returns profiles. Settlement discounts that may apply to unpaid invoices are estimated based on the settlement histories of the relevant customers. Rebates that may apply to issued invoices are estimated based on expected total qualifying sales to the relevant customers.

Interest income is accrued on a time basis using the effective interest method.

Dividend income is recognized when payment is received.

G. Restructuring initiatives

Restructuring initiatives comprise expenses incurred in major projects undertaken to rationalize and improve the cost competitiveness of the Group and consequential gains and losses arising on the disposal or exit of businesses or on the disposal of assets.

H. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the construction of a production, distribution or administration facility are capitalized as part of the cost of the facility if, at the outset of construction, the facility was expected to take more than 12 months to get ready for its intended use.

All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

I. Business combinations

 

(i) Background

Effective January 3, 2010, the Group adopted IFRS 3 (Revised 2008) ‘Business Combinations’, IAS 27 (Revised

Pinafore Holdings B.V.

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

3. Principal accounting policies continued

 

I. Business combinations (continued)

 

2008) ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’, which contained a number of changes that affected the accounting for business combinations and subsequent changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary. The revised standards were applied prospectively to business combinations with an effective date of acquisition on or after January 3, 2010.

 

(ii) Businesses acquired before January 3, 2010

Business combinations were accounted for using the purchase method.

Goodwill arising in a business combination was measured as the excess of the cost of acquisition over the interest acquired by the Group in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business that were recognized at the acquisition date. Where the interest acquired by the Group in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that were recognized exceeded the cost of acquisition, the excess was recognized as a gain in profit or loss.

The cost of acquisition comprised the aggregate of the fair values of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control over the acquired business and any costs directly attributable to the business combination.

The identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business that were recognized were measured at their fair value at the acquisition date, except for assets that were classified as held for sale, which were measured at fair value less costs to sell.

Any non-controlling interests were initially measured at their share of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired business that were recognized at the acquisition date.

If the initial accounting for a business combination was incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurred, the Group reported provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting was incomplete. If, within a maximum of one year after the acquisition date, new information was obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date, adjustments were made to the amounts recognized, or new assets and liabilities recognized, as at the acquisition date. Otherwise, with the exception of adjustments to contingent consideration and the recognition of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets of the acquired business, adjustments to the provisional amounts were recognized in profit or loss.

 

Subsequent adjustments to the estimated amount of contingent consideration were recognized as adjustments to the cost of acquisition.

Where deferred tax assets of the acquired business at the acquisition date were not initially recognized but were subsequently recognized, the income tax benefit was recognized as income but, in addition, the Group reduced the carrying amount of goodwill recognized on the acquisition and recognized the reduction in the carrying amount of goodwill as an expense in profit or loss.

Where a business combination was achieved in stages, the Group treated each exchange transaction separately and applied the purchase method at the date of each exchange transaction.

Where the Group sold an interest in a subsidiary, the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the interest in the subsidiary that was sold was recognized in profit or loss.

 

(iii) Businesses acquired on or after January 3, 2010

A business combination is a transaction or other event in which the Group obtains control of one or more businesses.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method.

Goodwill arising in a business combination is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired business and, in a business combination achieved in stages, the fair value at the acquisition date of the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquired business, over the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business at the acquisition date. If the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business exceed the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired business and the fair value at the acquisition date of any previously held equity interest, that excess is recognized as a gain in profit or loss.

Consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at the aggregate of the fair values of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control over the acquired business. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Any non-controlling interests in the acquired business are measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business.

Identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired business are measured at their fair value at the acquisition date,

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

I. Business combinations (continued)

 

except for the following that are measured in accordance with the relevant Group accounting policy:

 

- pensions and other post-employment benefit arrangements;

 

- equity instruments related to the replacement of share-based incentives awarded to employees of the acquired business;

 

- deferred tax assets and liabilities of the acquired business; and

 

- assets classified as held for sale.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. If, within a maximum of one year after the acquisition date, new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date, adjustments are made to the amounts recognized, or new assets and liabilities recognized, as at the acquisition date. Otherwise, any adjustments to the provisional amounts are recognized in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held interests in the acquired business are remeasured to their fair value when the Group obtains control of the acquired business and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss.

Changes in the Group’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for within equity. In such circumstances, the carrying amounts of equity attributable to the shareholders of the Company and to non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the shareholders of the Company.

If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets and liabilities and related equity components of the former subsidiary and measures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. Any gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

J. Goodwill

Goodwill arising in a business combination is recognized as an intangible asset and is allocated to the CGU or group of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisition.

Where a number of CGUs or groups of CGUs are acquired in a business combination, the goodwill attributable to each of them is determined by allocating the purchase consideration in proportion to their respective business enterprise values and comparing the allocated purchase consideration with the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the CGU or group of CGUs.

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested at least annually for impairment and carried at cost less any recognized impairment.

K. Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and any recognized impairment losses.

 

(i) Assets acquired in business combinations

An intangible resource acquired in a business combination is recognized as an intangible asset if it is separable from the acquired business or arises from contractual or legal rights. An acquired intangible asset with a definite useful life is amortized on a straight-line basis so as to charge its cost, which represents its fair value at the date of acquisition, to profit or loss over its expected useful life, as follows:

 

Customer relationships

   16 to 19 years

Technology and know how

   7 to 9 years

Acquired brands and trade names are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are not amortized but are tested at least annually for impairment and carried at cost less any recognized impairment.

 

(ii) Product development costs

All research expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Development expenditure is charged to profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred unless it relates to the development of a new or significantly improved product, it is incurred after the technical feasibility of the product has been proven, and customer orders have been received that are expected to provide income sufficient to cover the further development expenditure that will be incurred prior to the product going into full production. Capitalized development expenditure is amortized on a straight-line basis such that it is charged to profit or loss over the expected life of the resulting product.

 

(iii) Computer software

Computer software that is not integral to an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized separately as an intangible asset. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis so as to charge the cost of the software to profit or loss over its expected useful life, which is in the range 3 to 5 years.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

3. Principal accounting policies continued

 

L. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any recognized impairment losses.

Freehold land and assets under construction are not depreciated. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land and assets under construction, is generally provided on a straight-line basis so as to charge the depreciable amount to profit or loss over the useful life of the asset as follows:

 

Freehold buildings and long-leasehold property

   50 years

Short-leasehold property

   Length of lease

Plant, equipment and vehicles

   2 to 40 years

Property, plant and equipment acquired in a business combination is depreciated so as to charge the depreciable amount, which represents its fair value at the date of acquisition less expected residual value, to profit or loss over the remaining useful life of the asset.

M. Leases

Leases that confer rights and obligations similar to those that attach to owned assets are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are included within property, plant and equipment, initially measured at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments, and a corresponding liability is recognized within obligations under finance leases. Subsequently, the assets are depreciated on a basis consistent with similar owned assets or over the term of the lease, if shorter. At inception of the lease, the lease rentals are apportioned between an interest element and a capital element so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the outstanding liability. Thereafter, the interest element is recognized as an expense in profit or loss while the capital element is applied to reduce the outstanding liability.

Operating lease payments, and any incentives receivable, are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

N. Impairment of long-lived assets

Goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might be impaired. Additionally, goodwill, other intangible assets considered to have an indefinite useful life and any capitalized development expenditure relating to a product that is not yet in full production are subject to an annual impairment test.

An asset is impaired to the extent that its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which represents the higher of the asset’s value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. An asset’s value in use represents the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the continued use of the asset. Fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less the costs of disposal.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the recoverable amount is determined for the CGU to which the asset belongs. An asset’s CGU is the smallest group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill does not generate cash flows independently of other assets and is, therefore, tested for impairment at the level of the CGU or group of CGUs to which it is allocated.

Where appropriate, impairment of long-lived assets other than goodwill is recognized before goodwill is tested for impairment. When goodwill is tested for impairment and the carrying amount of the CGU or group of CGUs to which the goodwill has been allocated exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the goodwill and then to the other long-lived assets belonging to the CGU or group of CGUs pro-rata on the basis of their carrying amounts.

Impairments are recognized in profit or loss. Impairments recognized in previous periods for long-lived assets other than goodwill are reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its carrying amount had no impairment been recognized in previous periods. Impairments recognized in respect of goodwill are not reversed.

O. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with due allowance for any excess, obsolete or slow-moving items. Cost represents the expenditure incurred in bringing inventories to their existing location and condition, which may include the cost of raw materials, direct labor costs, other direct costs and related production overheads. Cost is generally determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.

P. Grants

Grants received relating to property, plant and equipment are treated as deferred income and recognized in profit or loss in equal installments over the expected useful life of

the asset concerned. Other grants received are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis so as to match them with the costs they are intended to compensate or, if those costs have already been recognized, the grants are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are received.

Q. Financial instruments

 

(i) Investments

Listed investments are classified as available-for-sale and are measured at fair value. Changes in their fair values are recognized in other comprehensive income and taken to the available-for-sale reserve, except to the extent that they represent an other than temporary impairment in which case the impairment is recognized in profit or loss. In the event that such an investment is sold, the realized gain or loss is transferred from other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

 

(ii) Trade receivables

Trade receivables represent the amount of sales of goods to customers for which payment has not been received, less an allowance for doubtful accounts that is estimated based on factors such as the credit rating of the customer, historical trends, the current economic environment and other information.

 

(iii) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand, deposits available on demand and other short-term, highly-liquid investments with a maturity on acquisition of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are presented as current liabilities to the extent that there is no right of offset with cash balances.

 

(iv) Trade payables

Trade payables represent the amount of invoices received from suppliers for purchases of goods and services for which payment has not been made.

 

(v) Bank and other loans

Bank and other loans are initially measured at fair value, net of directly attributable transaction costs, if any, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

 

(vi) Derivative financial instruments

From time to time, the Group uses derivative financial instruments, principally foreign currency swaps, forward foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps, to reduce its exposure to exchange rate and interest rate movements. The Group does not hold or issue derivatives for speculative purposes.

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets and liabilities measured at their fair values at the balance

sheet date. Changes in their fair values are recognized in profit or loss and this is likely to cause volatility in situations where the carrying value of the hedged item is not normally adjusted to reflect fair value changes arising from the hedged risk or is so adjusted but that adjustment is not recognized in profit or loss. Provided the conditions specified by IAS 39 ‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’ are met, hedge accounting may be used to mitigate this volatility.

The Group does not generally apply hedge accounting to transactional foreign currency hedging relationships, such as hedges of forecast or committed transactions. It does, however, apply hedge accounting to translational foreign currency hedging relationships and to hedges of its interest rate exposures where it is permissible to do so under IAS 39. When hedge accounting is used, the relevant hedging relationships are classified as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or, in the case of a hedge of the Group’s net investment in a foreign operation, a net investment hedge.

Where the hedging relationship is classified as a fair value hedge, the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability is adjusted by the change in its fair value attributable to the hedged risk and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss where, to the extent that the hedge is effective, it offsets the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument.

Where the hedging relationship is classified as a cash flow hedge or as a net investment hedge, to the extent the hedge is effective, the change in the fair value of the hedging instrument attributable to the hedged risk is recognized in other comprehensive income rather than in profit or loss. When the hedged item in a cash flow hedge is recognized in the financial statements, the accumulated gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income is either transferred to profit or loss or, if the hedged item results in a non-financial asset, is recognized as an adjustment to the asset’s initial carrying amount. In the event that a foreign operation that is designated as a hedged item in a net investment hedge is sold, the accumulated currency translation gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred to profit or loss and included in the gain or loss on disposal of the foreign operation.

Derivative financial instruments are classed as current assets or liabilities unless they are in a designated hedging relationship and the hedged item is classified as a non-current asset or liability.

Derivative financial instruments that are not in a designated hedging relationship are classified as held for trading.

Q. Financial instruments (continued)

 

(vii) Contracts to buy or sell non-financial items

From time to time, the Group enters into forward contracts to fix the price of energy and raw materials purchased for use in its manufacturing operations. Such contracts fall outside the scope of IAS 39, provided that they were entered into and continue to be held for the purpose of receipt or delivery in accordance with the Group’s expected purchase, sale or usage requirements. Where these conditions are not met, the contracts are classified and accounted for in the same way as derivative financial instruments.

 

(viii) Embedded derivatives

A derivative embedded in a non-derivative hybrid contract is separated from the host contract when its risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contract and the hybrid contract is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. An embedded derivative that is separated from its host contract is presented as a separate asset or liability measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss and is classed as a current or non-current asset or liability based on the cash flows of the hybrid contract.

R. Post-employment benefits

Post-employment benefits comprise pension benefits provided to employees throughout the world and other benefits, mainly healthcare, provided to certain employees in North America.

For defined contribution plans, the cost of providing the benefits represents the Group’s contributions to the plans and is recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the contributions fall due.

For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing the benefits is determined based on actuarial valuations of each of the plans that are carried out annually at the Group’s balance sheet date by independent, qualified actuaries. Plan assets are measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date. Benefit obligations are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method.

The cost of defined benefit plans recognized in profit or loss comprises the net total of the current service cost, the past service cost, the expected return on plan assets, the interest cost and the effect of any curtailments or settlements. The current service cost represents the increase in the present value of the plan liabilities expected to arise from employee service in the current period. The past service cost is the change in the benefit obligation that results from changes in the benefits payable in respect of employee service in prior periods.

The past service cost may be either positive or negative and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, or immediately if the benefits have vested.

The expected return on plan assets is based on market expectations at the beginning of the period of future returns over the life of the benefit obligation. The interest cost represents the increase in the benefit obligation due to the passage of time. The discount rate used is determined at the balance sheet date by reference to market yields on high-quality corporate bonds, where available, or on government bonds. Gains or losses on curtailments or settlements are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the curtailment or settlement occurs.

Actuarial gains and losses, which represent differences between the expected and actual returns on the plan assets and the effect of changes in the actuarial assumptions, are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.

The defined benefit liability or asset recognized in the balance sheet comprises the net total for each plan of the present value of the benefit obligation, minus any past service costs not yet recognized, minus the fair value of the plan assets at the balance sheet date. Where a plan is in surplus, the asset recognized is limited to the amount of any unrecognized past service costs and the present value of any amounts that the Group expects to recover by way of refunds or a reduction in future contributions. The net total for all plans in surplus is classified as a non-current asset. The net total for all plans in deficit is classified as a non-current liability.

S. Share-based incentives

Share-based incentives are provided to employees under the Group’s share option, bonus and other share award schemes. All ongoing schemes are classified as equity-settled. The Group recognizes a compensation expense in respect of these schemes that is based on the market-based value of the awards, which, where appropriate, is measured using either the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula or a Monte Carlo valuation model. Expected volatility of the price of the shares that are subject to an award is measured using the Merton model based on the volatility of the price of equivalent listed securities. Market-based value is determined at the grant date and reflects market performance conditions and all non-vesting conditions. Market-based value is not subsequently remeasured unless the conditions on which the award was granted are modified. If an award is modified, an additional compensation expense is recognized if and to the extent that the market-based value of the modified award is higher than the fair value of the existing award both measured at the modification date.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

3. Principal accounting policies continued

 

S. Share-based incentives (continued)

 

Generally, the compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Adjustments are made to reduce the compensation expense to reflect expected and actual forfeitures during the vesting period due to failure to satisfy a service condition or a non-market performance condition.

In the event of a cancellation, whether by the Group or by a participating employee, or settlement of an award by the Group, the compensation expense that would have been recognized over the remainder of the vesting period is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Any payment made to the employee on cancellation or settlement is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity interest, except if the payment exceeds the market-based value of the award measured on the settlement date when the excess is recognized as an additional compensation expense. Where new equity-settled awards are granted that are identified by the Group as replacements for the cancelled awards, the replacement awards are accounted for as a modification of the cancelled awards.

T. Provisions

A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount and is generally recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that payment will be made to settle the obligation and the payment can be estimated reliably. Additionally, in a business combination, a provision is required in respect of a present obligation of the acquired business at the acquisition date even where it is not probable that payments will be made to settle the obligation but the payment can be estimated reliably.

Provision is made for warranty claims when the relevant products are sold, based on historical experience of the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims.

Provision is made for the cost of product recalls if management considers it probable that it will be necessary to recall a specific product and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

Provision is made for restructuring costs when a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been determined and the plan has been communicated to the parties that may be affected by it. Gains from the expected disposal of assets are not taken into account in measuring restructuring provisions and provision is not made for future operating losses.

Provision is made for claims for compensation for injuries sustained by the Group’s employees while at work. The provision represents management’s best estimate of the liability for claims made but not yet fully settled and for

incidents which have occurred but have not yet been reported to the Group. The Group’s liability for claims made but not yet fully settled is calculated on an actuarial basis by a third party administrator. Historical data trends are used to estimate the liability for unreported incidents.

U. Taxation

Current tax is the amount of tax payable or recoverable in respect of the taxable profit or loss for the period. Taxable profit differs from accounting profit because it excludes items of income or expense that are recognized in the period for accounting purposes but are either not taxable or deductible for tax purposes or are taxable or deductible in other periods. Current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

The Group recognizes provisions in respect of uncertain tax positions whereby additional current tax may become payable in future periods following the audit by the tax authorities of previously-filed tax returns. Provisions for uncertain tax positions are based upon management’s assessment of the likely outcome of issues associated with assumed permanent differences, interest that may be applied to temporary differences, and the possible disallowance of tax credits and penalties. Provisions for uncertain tax positions are reviewed regularly and are adjusted to reflect events such as the expiry of limitation periods for assessing tax, administrative guidance given by the tax authorities and court decisions.

Deferred tax is tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of an asset or a liability and its tax base used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is accounted for using the liability method, whereby deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the foreseeable future against which the deductible temporary differences may be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction other than a business combination that affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in foreign subsidiaries and associates, except to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is not probable that the temporary difference will reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax is calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized.

3. Principal accounting policies continued

 

U. Taxation (continued)

 

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and management intends to settle on a net basis. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity.

Current and deferred tax is recognized in profit or loss unless it relates to an item that is recognized in the same or a different period outside profit or loss, in which case it too is recognized outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

V. Assets held for sale and discontinued operations

An asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered by sale rather than by continuing use in the business, the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition, management is committed to, and has initiated, a plan to sell the asset which, when initiated, was expected to result in a completed sale within 12 months. An extension of the period required to complete the sale does not preclude the asset from being classified as held for sale, provided the delay was for reasons beyond the Group’s control and management remains committed to its plan to sell the asset. Assets that are classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

A discontinued operation is a component of an entity that has either been disposed of, or satisfies the criteria to be classified as held for sale, and represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to disposal.

W. Accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

Recently-issued accounting pronouncements that may be relevant to the Group’s operations but have not yet been adopted are outlined below. Management does not expect that the adoption of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Group’s results or financial position.

IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’

In November 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9 which represents the first phase of its replacement of IAS 39 and introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and removes the need to separately account for certain embedded derivatives.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods commencing on or after January 1, 2013. Early adoption is permitted, but the standard has not yet been endorsed for use in the European Union.

‘Improvements to IFRSs 2010’

In May 2010, the IASB published amendments to seven IFRSs that address a number of issues, including the measurement in a business combination of non-controlling interests and the un-replaced or voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards of an acquired entity, the presentation of the analysis of other comprehensive income by item and clarification of certain disclosures about financial instruments.

While the amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after either July 1, 2010 or January 1, 2011, they have not yet been endorsed for use in the European Union.

 

4. Critical accounting estimates

A. Background

When applying the Group’s accounting policies, management must make assumptions and estimates concerning the future that affect the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, the disclosure of contingencies that existed at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenue and expenses recognized during the accounting period. Such assumptions and estimates are based on factors such as historical experience, the observance of trends in the industries in which the Group operates and information available from the Group’s customers and other outside sources.

Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making assumptions and estimates, actual outcomes could differ from those assumptions and estimates. An analysis of the key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the Group’s assets and liabilities within the next financial year is presented below.

B. Post-employment benefits

The Group operates pension plans throughout the world, covering the majority of its employees. Pension benefits are provided by way of both defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. The Group’s defined benefit pension plans are closed to new entrants. The Group also provides other post-employment benefits, principally health and life insurance cover, to certain of its employees in North America by way of unfunded defined benefit plans.

The Group accounts for post-employment benefits in accordance with IAS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’, whereby the cost of defined benefit plans is determined based on

 

F-18


Table of Contents

Pinafore Holdings B.V.

 

 

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

4. Critical accounting estimates continued

 

B. Post-employment benefits (continued)

 

actuarial valuations of the plans that are carried out annually at the Group’s balance sheet date. The actuarial valuations are dependent on assumptions about the future that are made by management on the advice of independent qualified actuaries.

If actual experience differs from these assumptions, there could be a material change in the amounts recognized by the Group in respect of defined benefit plans in the next financial year.

As at December 31, 2010, the present value of the benefit obligation was $1,258.5 million. The benefit obligation is calculated using a number of assumptions including future salary increases, increases to pension benefits, mortality rates and, in the case of post-employment medical benefits, the expected rate of increase in medical costs. The present value of the benefit obligation is calculated by discounting the benefit obligation using market yields on high-quality corporate bonds at the balance sheet date. As at December 31, 2010, the fair value of the plan assets was $1,011.1 million.

The plan assets consist largely of listed securities and their fair values are subject to fluctuation in response to changes in market conditions.

Effects of changes in the actuarial assumptions underlying the benefit obligation, effects of changes in the discount rate applicable to the benefit obligation and effects of differences between the expected and actual return on the plan assets are classified as actuarial gains and losses and are recognized in other comprehensive income. During 2010, the Group recognized a net actuarial gain of $70.1 million. Further actuarial gains and losses will be recognized during the next financial year.

An analysis of the assumptions that will be used by management to determine the cost of defined benefit plans that will be recognized in profit or loss in the next financial year is presented in note 35.

C. Impairment of long-lived assets

Goodwill, other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts might be impaired. Additionally, goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives are subject to an annual impairment test. Due to the nature of the Group’s operations, it is generally not possible to estimate the recoverable amount for individual long-lived assets and impairment tests are usually based on the value in use of the CGU or group of CGUs to which the asset belongs.

Value in use represents the net present value of the cash flows expected to arise from the relevant CGU or group of

CGUs and its calculation requires management to estimate those cash flows and to apply a suitable discount rate to them.

Management bases the estimated cash flows of the CGU or group of CGUs on assumptions such as the future changes in sales volumes, future changes in selling prices, and future changes in material prices, salaries and other costs. Management determines a discount rate for each CGU or group of CGUs using a capital asset pricing model, which is based on variables including the applicable risk-free interest rates and, for determining the cost of equity, the long-term equity risk premium and the assumed share price volatility relative to the market and, for determining the cost of debt, the assumed credit risk spreads.

As at December 31, 2010, the carrying amount of long-lived assets was $5,373.0 million. Impairment losses may be recognized on these assets within the next financial year if there are adverse changes in the variables and assumptions underlying the estimated future cash flows of the CGUs or the discount rates that are applied to those cash flows. The sensitivity of the carrying amount of goodwill to the key assumptions underlying the value in use calculations is discussed in note 20.

D. Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, with due allowance for excess, obsolete or slow-moving items. Net realizable value is based on current assessments of future demand, market conditions and new product development initiatives. As at December 31, 2010, the carrying value of inventories was $693.5 million, net of allowances of $7.9 million. Should demand for the Group’s products decline during the next financial year, additional allowances may be necessary in respect of excess or slow-moving items.

E. Financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognized as an asset or a liability measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date. The fair value of derivatives continually changes in response to changes in prevailing market conditions and applicable credit risk spreads.

Where permissible under IAS 39, the Group uses hedge accounting to mitigate the impact of changes in the fair value of derivatives on profit or loss but the Group’s results may be affected by changes in the fair values of derivatives where hedge accounting cannot be applied or due to hedge ineffectiveness.

F. Workers’ compensation

Provision is made for claims for compensation for injuries sustained by the Group’s employees while at work. The Group’s liability for claims made but not fully settled is calculated on an actuarial basis. Historical data trends are

F. Workers’ compensation (continued)

 

used to estimate the liability for unreported incidents. As at December 31, 2010, the workers’ compensation provision amounted to $21.6 million.

Further provision may be necessary within the next financial year if the actual cost of settling claims exceeds management’s estimates.

G. Environmental liabilities

Provision is made for the estimated cost of known environmental remediation obligations in relation to the Group’s current and former manufacturing facilities. Cost estimates include the expenditure expected to be incurred in the initial remediation effort and, where appropriate, in the long-term monitoring of the relevant sites. Management monitors for each remediation project the costs incurred to date against expected total costs to complete and operates procedures to identify possible remediation obligations that are presently unknown.

As at December 31, 2010, the provision for environmental remediation costs amounted to $12.0 million. Further provision may be necessary within the next financial year if actual remediation costs exceed expected costs, new remediation obligations are identified or there are changes in the circumstances affecting the Group’s legal or constructive remediation obligations.

H. Product warranties

Provision is made for the estimated cost of future warranty claims on the Group’s products. Management bases the provision on historical experience of the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims and takes into account recent trends that might suggest that the historical claims experience may differ from future claims. As at December 31, 2010, the Group’s provision for warranty claims amounted to $12.1 million. Further provision may be necessary within the next financial year if actual claims experience differs from management’s estimates.

I. Taxation

The Group is subject to income tax in most of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Management is required to exercise significant judgment in determining the Group’s provision for income taxes.

Estimation is required of taxable profit in order to determine the Group’s current tax liability. Management’s judgment is required in relation to uncertain tax positions whereby additional current tax may become payable in the future following the audit by the tax authorities of previously-filed tax returns. It is possible that the final outcome of these uncertain tax positions may differ from management’s estimates.

Estimation is also required of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences but, where there exist deductible temporary differences, management’s judgment is required as to whether a deferred tax asset should be recognized based on the availability of future taxable profits. As at December 31, 2010, the Group recognized net deferred tax liabilities amounting to $779.9 million. Deferred tax assets of $825.1 million were not recognized in respect of tax losses and tax credits carried forward. It is possible that the deferred tax assets actually recoverable may differ from the amounts recognized if actual taxable profits differ from management’s estimates.

As at December 31, 2010, the aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized was $1,375.0 million. Deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized on these temporary differences because the Group is able to control the timing of their reversal and it is not probable that they will reverse in the foreseeable future. Income tax may become payable on these temporary differences if circumstances change, for example upon the repatriation of assets from the subsidiaries concerned or on the sale or liquidation of one or more of them.

 

5. Segment information

A. Background

The Group’s operating segments are identified by grouping together businesses that manufacture similar products, as this is the basis on which information is provided to the Board for the purposes of allocating resources within the Group and assessing the performance of the Group’s businesses.

The Group’s internal management reports distinguish between those of the Group’s continuing operations that are ongoing and those that have been exited but do not meet the conditions to be classified as discontinued operations.

The Group’s ongoing operating segments are described in note 2.

The Group’s exited operating segments comprise: the Stant and Standard-Thomson businesses that were sold in Fiscal 2008 (‘Caps & Thermostats’) and the Philips Doors & Windows business that was closed during Fiscal 2009 (‘Doors & Windows’).

B. Measure of segment profit or loss

The Board uses adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (‘adjusted EBITDA’) to measure the profitability of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is, therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented in the Group’s segment disclosures.

B. Measure of segment profit or loss (continued)

 

EBITDA represents profit or loss for the period before net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the trading performance of the Group’s businesses either year on year or with other businesses.

During the periods under review, the specific items excluded from EBITDA in arriving at adjusted EBITDA were as follows:

 

 

the effect on cost of sales of the uplift to the carrying amount of inventory held by Tomkins on its acquisition by the Group;

 

 

the compensation expense in relation to share-based incentives;

 

 

transaction costs incurred in business combinations;

 

 

impairments, comprising impairments of goodwill and intangible assets recognized in business combinations and material impairments of other assets;

 

 

restructuring costs;

 

 

the net gain or loss on disposals and on the exit of businesses; and

 

 

the gain recognized on amendments to certain post-employment benefit plans in North America.

7. Impairments

In Fiscal 2009, the Group recognized impairments amounting to $73.0 million, comprising $18.9 million on goodwill and intangible assets arising on acquisitions, $38.6 million on assets that became impaired as a consequence of the Group’s restructuring initiatives and $15.5 million on receivables held in relation to the disposal of businesses in previous years.

In Fiscal 2008, impairments amounted to $342.4 million, of which $228.6 million related to goodwill and $113.8 million to property, plant and equipment, which largely resulted from the significant deterioration during 2008 of the North American automotive original equipment and US residential construction markets.

8. Restructuring initiatives

A. Restructuring costs

Restructuring costs recognized during both Q4 2010 and 9M 2010 principally related to the cessation of certain of Power Transmission’s manufacturing facilities in North America and were partially offset by gains on various asset disposals.

Restructuring costs recognized during Fiscal 2009 principally arose in relation to the restructuring of the Group’s manufacturing operations under projects Eagle and Cheetah. In particular:

 

 

in Industrial & Automotive, the cessation of Power Transmission’s manufacturing operations in Aachen, Germany, the rationalization of its powder metal facility at Mississauga, Ontario, and the closures of its pulley and tensioner facility at London, Ontario, and FormFlo in the UK; the cessation of Fluid Power’s hose manufacturing activities in Erembodegem, Belgium and the substantial closure of its assembly facility at St. Neots, UK; and, in Other Industrial & Automotive, the closure of Ideal’s manufacturing facility at St. Augustine, Florida and the rationalization of Dexter’s manufacturing facilities; and

 

 

in Building Products, the closure of the Philips Doors and Windows business.

In Fiscal 2008, restructuring costs principally related to the closure of Power Transmission’s facility at Moncks Corner, South Carolina, further rationalization of the Lasco Bathware business in the US and the closure of Hart & Cooley’s production facility at Tucson, Arizona, and further costs associated with outsourcing of information technology services that began in 2007.

In Fiscal 2009, the Group recognized a net gain of $0.2 million in relation to the disposal of businesses in prior years.

In Fiscal 2008, the Group recognized a gain of $43.2 million on the disposal of Stant and Standard-Thomson.

9. Gain on amendment of post-employment benefits

With effect from September 30, 2009, the Group closed its principal defined benefit pension plans in the US and Canada to future service accrual and the deferred pension benefits accrued under those plans were frozen, based on the pensionable salaries of participating employees at that date. In addition, the Group closed the Gates post-retirement healthcare plan in the US to employees who had not retired by December 31, 2009 and reduced the benefits payable to existing beneficiaries.

As a result of these amendments, the Group recognized a gain of $63.0 million in Fiscal 2009, of which $35.3 million related to pensions and $27.7 million to healthcare benefits.

Interest expense includes the amortization of issue costs incurred in relation to the borrowings.

From time to time, interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate profile of the Group’s borrowings. Net interest payable or receivable on such interest rate swaps is therefore included in interest expense.

Other finance expense includes fair value gains and losses arising on financial instruments held by the Group to hedge its translational exposures where either the economic hedging relationship does not qualify for hedge accounting or to the extent that there is deemed to be ineffectiveness in a designated hedging relationship.

Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments are analyzed in note 33.

Additionally, during Q4 2010, the Group incurred a currency translation loss on the acquisition of Tomkins due to the change in the rate of exchange between the pound sterling (in which the purchase consideration was denominated) and the US dollar (the functional currency of the acquiring entity), in the period between the effective date of the acquisition and the payment of the consideration to the former shareholders in Tomkins.

As explained in note 30, during Q4 2010, the Group made repayments against the principal amounts outstanding on the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes. In total, £275.8 million of the principal amount of these notes was repaid at a cost of £278.7 million. The carrying amount of these notes that were repaid was £278.1 million. Accordingly, the Group recognized a loss of £0.6 million on the repayments.

Deferred tax assets amounting to $198.8 million were not recognized on tax losses arising during the period because it was not considered probable that the taxable entities concerned would generate sufficient taxable profits in the foreseeable future against which the losses may be utilized. However, as a consequence of the acquisition of Tomkins, it was possible to utilize in other taxable entities previously unrecognized tax losses amounting to $117.2 million.

During 9M 2010, deferred tax assets amounting to $21.3 million (Fiscal 2009: $49.6 million; Fiscal 2008: $111.4 million) were not recognized on tax losses arising during the period because it was not considered probable that the taxable entities concerned would generate sufficient taxable profits in the foreseeable future against which the losses may be utilized.

Permanent differences arising in Fiscal 2008 principally comprised a tax benefit of $115.8 million on currency translation losses that were not recognized in the accounts but were deductible for tax purposes, less the tax effect of $69.4 million on expenses that were recognized in the accounts but were not deductible for tax purposes (in particular, the tax effect of $45.4 million attributable to the impairment of goodwill).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

20. Goodwill continued

 

C. Impairment tests

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and whenever there are indications that it may have suffered an impairment. Goodwill is considered impaired to the extent that its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of the value in use and the fair value less costs to sell of the CGU or group of CGUs to which it is allocated. Impairment tests were carried out during Fiscal 2009 and, following the acquisition of Tomkins, in Q4 2010. In each case, the recoverable amount of all items of goodwill was determined based on value in use calculations.

Management based the value in use calculations on cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent three-year financial plans approved by the Board, in which the principal assumptions were those regarding sales growth rates, selling prices and changes in direct costs.

Cash flows for the years beyond the three-year financial plans for the CGUs to which individually significant amounts of goodwill were allocated were calculated as follows: cash flows in the fourth and fifth years were estimated by management based on relevant industry and economic forecasts; thereafter, the cash flows were projected to grow at either 2% or 2.5% per annum, which rates do not exceed expected long-term growth rates in their respective principal end markets in North America, Europe, India and the Middle East.

Management applied discount rates to the resulting cash flow projections that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU or group of CGUs. In each case, the discount rate was determined using a capital asset pricing model. Pre-tax discount rates used in the impairment tests of goodwill during Q4 2010 were in the following ranges: Industrial & Automotive businesses 15.0% to 17.5% (Fiscal 2009: 8.1% to 12.2%); and Building Products businesses 16.1% to 17.0% (Fiscal 2009: 10.4% to 17.2%).

D. Impairments recognized

As there had been no significant change in management’s expectations in relation to the Group’s businesses subsequent to the acquisition of Tomkins, no impairments of goodwill were recognized in Q4 2010.

During Fiscal 2009, the Group recognized an impairment of $8.7 million in relation to Rolastar due to the significant deterioration that had occurred in Rolastar’s end markets since negotiations for its acquisition were concluded in early 2008.

During Fiscal 2008, impairments totaling $228.6 million were recognized in relation to the goodwill allocated to Stackpole, Gates Mectrol and Selkirk.

Stackpole manufactures power transmission components, systems and assemblies, principally for automotive original equipment manufacturers, at its facilities in Canada, Germany and South Korea. Stackpole’s end markets deteriorated significantly during 2008 and this caused the impairment of the entire goodwill allocated to the business, which amounted to $157.2 million. Management used a pre-tax discount rate of 11.7%.

Gates Mectrol manufactures power transmission and motion control belts, principally for industrial and automotive original equipment manufacturers, at its facilities in the US and Germany. Gates Mectrol’s end markets deteriorated during the second half of 2008 and this caused the impairment of the entire goodwill allocated to the business, which amounted to $37.4 million. Management used a pre-tax discount rate of 11.7%.

Selkirk manufactures chimney, venting and air distribution products, principally for the residential construction market in North America. Selkirk’s end markets deteriorated during 2008 and an impairment of $34.0 million was recognized in relation to the goodwill allocated to the business. Management used a pre-tax discount rate of 12.5%.

Management does not consider that the recoverable amounts of the CGUs or groups of CGUs to which significant amounts of goodwill are allocated may fall below their carrying amounts not that the aggregate recoverable amount of other CGUs may fall below their aggregate carrying amount due to reasonably possible changes during the next year in one or more of the key assumptions.

Management has assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of the brands and trade names using the ‘relief from royalty’ method whereby the value in use of those assets represents the present value of the cost savings to the Group from not having to license them from a third party. The key assumptions used in the relief from royalty method are the hypothetical royalty rate and forecast annual sales.

21. Other intangible assets continued

 

Management has used a hypothetical royalty rate of 1% per annum. Forecast annual sales were based on the most recent three-year financial plans approved by the Board. Forecast annual sales for the years beyond the three-year financial plans for the CGUs to which the brands and trade names were allocated were calculated as follows: sales in the fourth and fifth years were estimated by management based on relevant industry and economic forecasts; thereafter, sales were generally projected to grow at either 2% or 2.5% per annum, which rates do not exceed expected long-term growth rates in their respective principal end markets in North America, Europe, India and the Middle East.

Management applied discount rates to the resulting royalty savings that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the CGU or group of CGUs. In each case, the discount rate was determined using a capital asset pricing model. Pre-tax discount rates used in the annual impairment tests of brands and trade names during 2010 were in the following ranges: Industrial & Automotive businesses 15.0% to 17.5%; and Building Products businesses 16.1% to 17.0%.

Intangible assets arising on acquisitions principally represented acquired customer relationships.

All intangible assets included above had finite useful lives.

In Fiscal 2009, the Group recognized an impairment of $10.2 million in relation to acquired customer relationships, of which the majority related to Rolastar and arose due to the deterioration in its end markets in the period since its acquisition was negotiated in early 2008. Also in Fiscal 2009, an impairment of $11.8 million was recognized in relation to software licences that had become surplus to requirements as a consequence of the Group’s restructuring initiatives.

Impairments are analyzed by operating segment in note 7.

During Fiscal 2009, impairments totaling $26.8 million were recognized in relation to property, plant and equipment that has become impaired as a consequence of the Group’s restructuring initiatives (none of these impairments was individually significant).

During Fiscal 2008, against the background of the weakness of the Group’s end markets, particularly the automotive original equipment markets in North America and Europe and the residential construction market in North America, management reviewed the recoverability of the assets of the Group’s businesses that were exposed to those markets. As a result of that review, impairments totaling $113.8 million were recognized in relation to property, plant and equipment.

Impairments are analyzed by operating segment in note 7.

(January 2, 2010: $577.6 million) and the amount outstanding on the related loans was $642.3 million (January 2, 2010: $575.2 million). For accounting purposes, these amounts are offset and the net receivable of $2.0 million (January 2, 2010: $2.4 million) is included in other receivables.

As at December 31, 2010, trade and other receivables amounting to $4.3 million (January 2, 2010: $1.6 million) were secured on the assets of the debtors.

 

26. Trade receivables

Trade receivables amounted to $761.1 million (January 2, 2010: $662.3 million), net of an allowance of $0.3 million (January 2, 2010: $13.7 million) for doubtful debts.

The Group has a significant concentration of customers in the US, who accounted for 51.8% (9M 2010: 54.7%; Fiscal 2009: 56.4%; Fiscal 2008: 57.6%) of the Group’s sales during Q4 2010, and in the automotive industry, which accounted for 47.1% (9M 2010: 45.9%; Fiscal 2009: 45.1%; Fiscal 2008: 41.9%) of the Group’s sales during Q4 2010. However, no single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Group’s sales and there were no significant amounts due from any one customer.

Before accepting a new customer, the Group assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and establishes a credit limit. Credit quality is assessed by using data maintained by reputable credit rating agencies, by checking of references included in credit applications and, where they are available, by reviewing the customer’s recent financial statements. Credit limits are subject to multiple levels of authorization and are reviewed on a regular basis.

Trade receivables are regularly reviewed for bad and doubtful debts. Bad debts are written off and an allowance is established for specific doubtful debts.

Trade receivables may be analyzed as follows:

Trade receivables arise wholly in the businesses of Tomkins and were initially recognized by the successor at their fair value at the date of acquisition of Tomkins. Accordingly, receivables that were considered impaired by Tomkins are included in the successor financial statements within amounts past due but not impaired and the allowance for doubtful debts relates wholly to receivables that have become impaired since the acquisition of Tomkins.

- costs incurred on the issue of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Second Lien Notes;

 

- the fair value on inception of the interest rate floor (an embedded derivative) that applies to amounts drawn down under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities;

The maturity analysis of the principal amount outstanding is presented in note 34.

Bank loans

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Group has Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisting of a Term Loan A credit facility, a Term Loan B credit facility and a senior secured revolving credit facility.

The Group initially borrowed $300.0 million under the Term Loan A credit facility and $1,700.0 million under the Term Loan B credit facility. On December 29, 2010, the Group prepaid $4.0 million against the Term Loan A credit facility and $22.7 million against the Term Loan B credit facility. As at December 31, 2010, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A credit facility was $296.0 million and that under the Term Loan B credit facility was $1,677.3 million.

The revolving credit facility provides for multi-currency revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100.0 million. As at December 31, 2010, there were no drawings for cash under the revolving credit facility but there were letters of credit outstanding amounting to $40.3 million.

Subject to certain conditions, the revolving credit facility may be increased by up to $100.0 million and the Term Loan B credit facility increased by, or new term loan facilities established up to, $400.0 million (less any increase in the revolving credit facility).

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or, at the Group’s option, a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for the Term Loan B credit facility is 4.5% per annum for LIBOR and 3.5% per annum for base rate. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility is between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum for LIBOR and 2.75% and 3.25% per annum for base rate depending on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio. LIBOR is subject to a 1.75% floor and base rate is subject to a 2.75% floor. As at December 31, 2010, borrowings under the Term Loan A credit facility attracted an interest rate of 6.0% per annum and those under the Term Loan B credit facility attracted an interest rate of 6.25% per annum (in both cases, to be next re-set on March 31, 2011). Each letter of credit issued under the revolving credit facility attracts a participation fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin under the revolving credit facility to the maximum amount available to be drawn and a fronting fee of the greater of 0.25% of the maximum amount available to be drawn and $1,500 per annum. An unused line fee of 0.75% per annum is based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility (which may decrease to 0.5% per annum based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio).

The Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility mature on September 29, 2015 and the Term Loan B credit facility matures on September 29, 2016. The Term Loan A credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 2.5% and the Term Loan B credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25%, in each case based on the original principal amount less certain prepayments and commencing on March 31, 2011 with the balance payable on maturity.

The Group may voluntarily prepay loans or reduce commitments under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, in whole or in part, subject to minimum amounts without premium or penalty, other than in the case of certain re-pricing transactions with respect to the Term Loan B credit facility prior to September 29, 2011, which shall be subject to a 1% premium. If the Group prepays LIBOR rate loans other than at the end of an applicable interest period, it is required to reimburse the lenders for any consequential losses or expenses. The Group must prepay the Term Loan A credit facility and Term Loan B credit facility with net cash proceeds of asset sales, casualty and condemnation events, incurrence of indebtedness (other than indebtedness permitted to be incurred) and a percentage of excess cash flow based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio, in each case subject to certain exceptions such as reinvestment rights.

On February 11, 2011, the Group agreed with the providers of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities a re-pricing of Term Loan A and Term Loan B and amendments to certain of the covenants attaching to the facilities. It was agreed that for both Term Loan A and Term Loan B the applicable margin for LIBOR will be reduced to 3.0% per annum, with LIBOR being subject to a 1.25% floor, and the applicable margin for base rate will be reduced to 2.0% per annum, with base rate being subject to a 2.25% floor. The re-pricing becomes effective on February 17, 2011 and attracts a one-off premium payment by the Group of $16.8 million.

Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility

As at January 2, 2010, Tomkins had in place a £400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and had in place a $450 million forward-start facility that commenced on the expiry of the existing facility in August 2010 and was itself due to expire in May 2012. Borrowings under the facility attracted interest at floating rates determined by reference to LIBOR. As at January 2, 2010 and during 9M 2010, there were no drawings against the facility, which was replaced by the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the acquisition of Tomkins.

Other borrowings

Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

On September 29, 2010, the Group issued $1,150.0 million 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (‘the Second Lien Notes’).

The Second Lien Notes mature on October 1, 2018.

On and after October 1, 2014, the Group may redeem the Second Lien Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date:

 

      Redemption price  

During the year commencing:

  

– October 1, 2014

     104.50%   

– October 1, 2015

     102.25%   

– October 1, 2016 and thereafter

     100.00%   

At any time prior to October 1, 2014, the Group may redeem the Second Lien Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount and (ii) the excess of the present value at the redemption date of the redemption price as at October 1, 2014 and the required interest payments due from the redemption date to October 1, 2014 (discounted using an appropriate US Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points) over the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

At any time, or from time to time, prior to October 1, 2013, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the Group may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes at a redemption price of 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the redemption date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to October 1, 2013, the Group may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Second Lien Notes) with the net cash proceeds of equity offerings by the Co-operative or certain of its subsidiaries at a redemption price of 109% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes remain outstanding after each such redemption (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Second Lien Notes) and the Group satisfies certain other conditions.

In the event of a change of control over the Company, each holder will have the right to require the Group to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Second Lien Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, except to the extent that the Group has previously elected to redeem the Second Lien Notes.

The issuers of the Second Lien Notes, Tomkins, LLC and Tomkins, Inc., which are both subsidiaries of the Company, have entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which they will file a registration statement with the Securities & Exchange Commission in the US and offer to exchange the Second Lien Notes for substantially similar registered notes. Management expects that the registration will become effective during 2011.

2011 Notes and 2015 Notes

When it was acquired by the Group, Tomkins had the following notes outstanding under a Euro Medium Term Note Programme: £150 million 8% notes repayable at par on December 20, 2011 (the ‘2011 Notes’); and £250 million 6.125% notes repayable at par on September 16, 2015 (the ‘2015 Notes’).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Each of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes contain a put option giving the holders the option to put their notes to the relevant issuer at par plus accrued interest in the event of a change of control or certain acquisitions and disposals and, in either case, a ratings downgrade occurring as a result of such transaction.

On September 13, 2010, the Group offered to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.787 per cent (plus accrued and unpaid interest) and the outstanding 2015 Notes at a price of 100.50 per cent (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £40.9 million of the 2011 Notes and £109.3 million of the 2015 Notes. On October 6, 2010, the purchase was completed for total consideration of £153.1 million (plus accrued interest of £3.0 million).

On November 19, 2010, the Group notified holders of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes that the credit rating of the notes had been withdrawn by Moody’s and downgraded by Standard & Poor’s as a consequence of the acquisition of Tomkins and that this constituted a put event entitling the holders to redeem the notes at par (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Put notices were received in respect of £2.1 million of the 2011 Notes and £123.5 million of the 2015 Notes. Settlement took place on December 17, 2010 for total consideration of £125.6 million (plus accrued interest of £2.0 million).

As at December 31, 2010, the principal amount of the outstanding 2011 Notes was £107.0 million and that of the 2015 Notes was £17.2 million.

On December 30, 2010, the Group made a further offer to purchase the outstanding 2011 Notes at a price of 105.00 per cent (plus accrued and unpaid interest). Acceptances were received in respect of £4.9 million of the 2011 Notes. Settlement took place on January 19, 2011 and the principal amount of the outstanding 2011 Notes was thereby reduced to £102.1 million.

Loan Note Alternative

Under the terms of the acquisition of Tomkins, certain shareholders in Tomkins Limited elected to receive loan notes rather than cash in respect of all or part of the consideration payable on the purchase of their shares in Tomkins Limited, subject to a maximum aggregate amount of £50 million (the ‘Loan Note Alternative’). As at December 31, 2010, loan notes with a principal amount of £29.0 million were outstanding under the Loan Note Alternative. The loan notes accrue interest at the higher of 0.8% below LIBOR and 0% (to be next re-set on July 1, 2011).

The loan notes fall due for repayment, at par, on December 31, 2015. From June 30, 2011 until December 31, 2015, each holder has the right to require full or part repayment, at par, half-yearly on June 30 and December 31 and for this reason these loan notes are classified as current liabilities. At any time on or after six months after the date of issue of the loan notes, the Group may purchase any of the loan notes at any price by tender, private treaty or otherwise.

Although the loan notes are unsecured, the Group is required to retain in an escrow account cash equivalent to the nominal amount of the outstanding loan notes.

Guest & Chrimes Notes

When it was acquired by the Group, Tomkins had in issue loan notes by way of consideration for the acquisition of a former subsidiary, Guest & Chrimes Limited. As at December 31, 2010, the remaining principal amount outstanding was £0.1 million that falls due for repayment, at par, on June 30, 2012. Until that time, in certain circumstances, each holder has the right to require full or part repayment, at par, half-yearly on June 30 and December 31 and for this reason these loan notes are classified as current liabilities.

33. Derivative financial instruments continued

 

A. Currency derivatives

As at December 31, 2010, the notional principal amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts that are used to manage the currency profile of the Group’s net assets was $438.0 million (January 2, 2010: $796.6 million). Where necessary, the Group has designated these contracts as net investment hedges. During Q4 2010, a net fair value loss of $2.5 million (9M 2010: gain of $0.5 million; Fiscal 2009: net loss of $3.1 million; Fiscal 2008: net gain of $57.2 million) in relation to designated net investment hedges was recognized in other comprehensive income.

The currency profile of the Group’s net assets after taking into account translation hedges is presented in note 34.

Also during Q4 2010, a net fair value loss of $0.6 million (9M 2010: loss of $0.1 million; Fiscal 2009: gain of $12.2 million; Fiscal 2008: loss of $9.4 million) was recognized within operating profit in respect of currency derivatives that were held to provide an economic hedge of transactional currency exposures but were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

B. Interest rate swaps

Until September 2010, the Group held interest rate swaps to swap the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes from fixed interest rates to floating interest rates. The Group had designated these contracts as fair value hedges in relation to the notes.

During 9M 2010, the Group recognized a net fair value gain of $17.3 million (Fiscal 2009: net loss of $13.3 million; Fiscal 2008: net gain of $75.7 million) in relation to these contracts and the carrying amount of the notes was increased by $19.0 million (Fiscal 2009: decreased by $12.3 million; Fiscal 2008: increased by $75.6 million) to reflect the change in the fair value of the notes attributable to the hedged risk and the amortization of the transitional adjustment that was recognized on adoption of IAS 39. During 9M 2010, a net loss of $1.7 million (Fiscal 2009: net loss of $1.0 million; Fiscal 2008: net gain of $0.1 million) was, therefore, recognized within other finance expense in relation to these hedges.

The profile of interest rate swaps held by the Group as at January 2, 2010 was as follows:

– September 2015

     £ 250.0           1.7                                     6.1      3 month LIBOR   

On September 16, 2010, the Group sold the interest rate swaps for $64.7 million (plus accrued interest of $10.1 million).

Until December 2009, when the remaining contracts matured, the Group held interest rate swaps to swap to fixed interest rates a portion of the synthetic floating rate debt created by the fixed to floating interest swaps. During Fiscal 2009, a net fair value gain of $2.3 million (Fiscal 2008: net loss of $2.1 million) was recognized within other finance expense in relation to these contracts that did not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39.

C. Other items

Borrowings against the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates, subject to a floor (an embedded interest rate derivative). On inception of the facilities, the applicable market interest rate was lower than the floor. Consequently, the floor was required to be separated from each of the host loan contracts. As at December 31, 2010, the fair value of the embedded derivatives was $46.9 million and during Q4 2010 a gain of $22.9 million due to the change in their fair value was recognized as a credit to other finance expense.

During Fiscal 2008, the Group recognized a loss of $5.1 million in other finance expense to reduce to nil the carrying amount of an interest rate derivative embedded in a loan note that comprised part of the proceeds received on the disposal of one of the Group’s non-core businesses.

34. Financial risk management

A. Risk management policies

The Group’s central treasury function is responsible for procuring the Group’s financial resources and maintaining an efficient capital structure, together with managing the Group’s liquidity, foreign exchange and interest rate exposures.

All treasury operations are conducted within strict policies and guidelines that are approved by the Board. Compliance with those policies and guidelines is monitored by the regular reporting of treasury activities to the Board.

A key element of the Group’s treasury philosophy is that funding, interest rate and currency decisions and the location of cash and debt balances are determined independently from each other. The Group’s borrowing requirements are met by raising funds in the most favorable markets. Management aims to retain a portion of net debt in the foreign currencies in which the net assets of the Group’s operations are denominated. The desired currency profile of net debt is achieved by entering into currency derivative contracts.

Management does not hedge the proportion of foreign operations effectively funded by shareholders’ equity. While the net income of foreign operations is not hedged, the effect of currency fluctuations on the Group’s reported net income is partly offset by interest payable on net debt denominated in foreign currencies.

From time to time, the Group also enters into currency derivative contracts to manage currency transaction exposures.

Where necessary, the desired interest rate profile of net debt in each currency is achieved by entering into interest rate derivative contracts.

The Group’s portfolio of cash and cash equivalents is managed such that there is no significant concentration of credit risk in any one bank or other financial institution. Management monitors closely the credit quality of the institutions with which it holds deposits. Similar considerations are given to the Group’s portfolio of derivative financial instruments.

The Group’s borrowing facilities are monitored against forecast requirements and timely action is taken to put in place, renew or replace credit lines. Management’s policy is to reduce liquidity risk by diversifying the Group’s funding sources and by staggering the maturity of its borrowings.

The Group has established long-term credit ratings of Ba3 Stable with Moody’s and BB- Negative with Standard & Poor’s. Credit ratings are subject to regular review by the credit rating agencies and may change in response to economic and commercial developments.

Management considers that the Group’s capital equates to shareholders’ equity.

Management manages the Group’s capital structure to maximize shareholder value whilst retaining flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that arise to grow the Group’s business.

B. Financial assets and liabilities

The following table analyses financial assets and liabilities by the categories defined in IAS 39. Financial instruments held at fair value, have been categorized into one of three levels to reflect the degree to which observable inputs are used in determining the fair values:

 

 

‘Level 1’ fair value measurements are those derived without adjustment from quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

‘Level 2’ fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

 

 

‘Level 3’ fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Available-for-sale investments are listed and are valued by reference to quoted market prices.

Cash and cash equivalents largely attract floating interest rates. Accordingly, their carrying amounts are considered to be approximately fair value.

Bank and other loans principally comprise borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes, the Second Lien Notes and other loan notes. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities attract interest at floating rates and their principal amounts are considered to approximate to fair value. The 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes are traded on the Professional Securities Market in London and their fair value is based on their quoted market prices. The Second Lien Notes and the other loan notes attract interest at fixed interest rates and their fair value has been assessed by reference to prevailing market interest rates.

Finance lease obligations attract fixed interest rates that are implicit in the lease rentals and their fair value has been assessed by reference to prevailing market interest rates.

Derivative assets and liabilities represent the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivatives held by the Group at the balance sheet date together with embedded interest rate derivatives that were required to be separated from their

host loan contracts. Foreign currency derivatives are valued by reference to prevailing forward exchange rates. Interest rate derivatives are valued by discounting the related cash flows using prevailing market interest rates. Embedded interest rate derivatives are valued using a valuation model by reference to prevailing market interest rates.

C. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group.

Management considers the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk to be as follows:

As at December 31, 2010, 95% (January 2, 2010: 94%) of the Group’s cash and cash equivalents were held with institutions rated at least A-1 by Standard & Poor’s or P-1 by Moody’s. Credit risk disclosures with respect to trade receivables are set out in note 26.

D. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

As at December 31, 2010, the Group had a committed revolving credit facility of $300.0 million that expires on September 29, 2015, which was undrawn for cash but against which there were outstanding letters of credit amounting to $40.3 million. Also, the Group had drawn $7.2 million (January 2, 2010: $6.0 million) against uncommitted borrowing facilities and had outstanding performance bonds, letters of credit and bank guarantees amounting to $66.0 million (January 2, 2010: $80.3 million), in addition to those outstanding under the revolving credit facility. Overall, therefore, the Group’s committed borrowing headroom was $186.5 million (January 2, 2010: $558.7 million), in addition to cash balances of $506.3 million (January 2, 2010: $447.1 million), including collateralized cash of $47.0 million (January 2, 2010: $2.1 million).

The Group is subject to covenants, representations and warranties in respect of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities including two financial covenants as defined in the credit agreement that were tested for the first time for the period ended December 31, 2010. Firstly, the ratio of ‘consolidated total debt’ to ‘consolidated EBITDA’ (the ‘total leverage ratio’) must not exceed 6.1 times (for the covenant test period ended December 31, 2010, the ratio was 4.23 times). Secondly, the ratio of ‘consolidated EBITDA’ to ‘consolidated net interest’ (the ‘interest coverage ratio’) must not be less than 1.8 times (for the covenant test period ended December 31, 2010, the ratio was 5.48 times).

Going forward, the compliance with these financial covenants will be tested for a period to the end of each calendar quarter. The limits against which the financial covenants are tested become progressively stricter for each test period until December 31, 2012. Thereafter, the total leverage ratio must not exceed 5.25 times and the interest coverage ratio must not be less than 2.10 times.

The limits for the forthcoming year are set out below:

Maturities of the financial liabilities in all of the liquidity tables above are based on the earliest date on which the counterparty has a contractual right to require payment. It should be noted that borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities would be required to be prepaid to the extent that the Group generates ‘excess cash’ as defined in the credit agreement and that, in the event of a change of control, the bank and other loans may have to be repaid and the undrawn committed borrowing facilities may be withdrawn.

Floating interest payments and payments and receipts on interest rate derivatives are estimated based on market interest rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.

E. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of, or future cash flows associated with, a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates.

The interest rate profile of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, after taking into account the effect of the Group’s interest rate hedging activities, was as follows:

On the assumption that the change in interest rates is applied to the Group’s financial assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, an increase of 50 basis points in prevailing interest rates would decrease the Group’s loss before tax by $1.9 million and a decrease of 50 basis points would increase the Group’s loss before tax by $2.0 million. Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at floating rates, but are subject to a floor, which, as at December 31, 2010, was a LIBOR floor of 1.75%. If the LIBOR floor was not effective, an increase of 50 basis points in the prevailing interest rates applied to the Group’s financial assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date would increase the Group’s loss before tax by $8.0 million and a decrease of 50 basis points would decrease the Group’s loss before tax by $7.9 million.

F. Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. Currency risk arises on financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the entity by which they are held.

On the assumption that the change in exchange rates is applied to the risk exposures in existence at the balance sheet date and that designated net investment hedges are 100% effective, an increase or decrease of 10% in the value of the functional currencies of the entities concerned against the currencies in which the financial assets and liabilities are denominated would increase or decrease the Group’s loss before tax by $4.2 million (January 2, 2010: $1.8 million).

35. Post-employment benefit obligations

A. Background

The Group operates pension plans throughout the world, covering the majority of its employees. The plans are structured to accord with local conditions and practices in each country and include defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.

The Group provides defined contribution pension benefits in most of the countries in which it operates; in particular, the majority of the Group’s employees in the US are entitled to such benefits. Contributions payable by the Group to these plans during Q4 2010 amounted to $9.2 million (9M 2010: $22.0 million; Fiscal 2009: $33.4 million; Fiscal 2008: $37.9 million). At the balance sheet date, the Group had not paid over to the plans contributions due amounting to $16.1 million (January 2, 2010: $14.8 million). All amounts due for the period were paid over subsequent to the balance sheet date.

35. Post-employment benefit obligations continued

 

A. Background (continued)

 

The Group operates defined benefit pension plans in several countries; in particular, in the US and the UK. Generally, the pension benefits provided under these plans are based upon pensionable salary and the period of service of the individual employees. The assets of the plans are held separately from those of the Group in funds that are under the control of trustees. All of the defined benefit pension plans operated by the Group are closed to new entrants. In addition to the funded defined benefit pension plans, the Group has unfunded defined benefit obligations to certain current and former employees.

The Group also provides other post-employment benefits, principally health and life insurance cover, to certain of its employees in North America. These plans, which are unfunded, are defined benefit plans.

B. Summary of financial effect

An analysis of the effect of providing post-employment benefits on the Group’s results is set out below.

Plan assets do not include any of the Group’s own financial instruments, nor any property occupied by, or other assets used by, the Group.

The return and risk expectations for each asset class incorporate assumptions about historical return relationships, current financial market conditions and the degree of global capital market integration. The assumptions used have been derived from rigorous historical performance analysis combined with forward-looking views of the financial markets as revealed through the yield on long-term bonds and the price earnings ratios of the major stock market indices. The actuaries review analyses of historical risk and the correlation of the return on asset classes and apply subjective judgment based on their knowledge of the Group’s plans. The result of this analysis is incorporated into a risk matrix from which expected long-term risk premiums for each asset class are developed.

The nominal return expectations are determined by combining the asset class risk premiums with expected inflation and real risk-free rate assumptions. As a final consideration, the nominal return assumptions are blended with current market conditions to develop long-term equilibrium expectations.

The Group’s investment strategy for pension plan assets includes diversification to minimize interest and market risks. Accordingly, the interest rate risk inherent in the benefit obligation of the Group’s US funded pension plans is hedged using a combination of bonds and interest rate swaps with a combined average duration of 10.2 years. In general, the investment strategy for the Group’s pension plans outside the US does not involve the use of derivative financial instruments.

Plan assets are rebalanced periodically to maintain target asset allocations. Maturities of investments are not necessarily related to the timing of expected future benefit payments, but adequate liquidity to make immediate and medium-term benefit payments is ensured.

The weighted averages of the expected returns on plan assets were as follows:

36. Share-based incentives

SUCCESSOR

A. Ongoing schemes

The Group operates a number of employee share schemes to provide incentives to the Group’s senior executives and other eligible employees.

Share options

Replacement Options

On the acquisition of Tomkins, certain executives who are not resident in the US were given the opportunity to cancel their vested awards under the Performance Share Plan (‘PSP’) that was operated by Tomkins Limited in exchange for awards of options, named the Replacement Options, to purchase equity interests in the Company. In the event, Replacement Options over 17,786 ‘B’ shares in the Company were granted to participating executives. Each Replacement Option has a nominal exercise price and vested immediately on grant. As such, the Replacement Options had a fair value at their grant date that was equal to the fair value of the vested awards under the PSP that they replaced, which was the equivalent of the offer price of 325 pence per ordinary share in Tomkins Limited. Accordingly, the fair value of the Replacement Options granted, which amounted to $34.9 million, was recognized by the Group as part of the consideration paid to acquire Tomkins.

Since the grant date, there has been no change in the number of Replacement Options that are outstanding. If the Replacement Options remain outstanding but unexercised, they will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As at December 31, 2010, the Replacement Options had a remaining contractual life of 9.75 years.

Variable Options

The Company has established an equity incentive plan under which the Group’s senior executives were granted options to purchase ‘B’ shares in the Company, named the Variable Options. The Variable Options are divided into three tiers with escalating exercise prices which allow the participants to share in the gains of the equity investors in the Company above certain minimum return thresholds.

The first tier options have an exercise price equal to the price at which the Consortium subscribed for shares in the Company at the time of the acquisition of Tomkins (the ‘Initial Exercise Price’) increasing at a compound rate of 8% per annum until the exercise date, subject to the additional condition that 3.184% of the options may not be exercised unless the fair market value of the underlying shares exceeds the exercise price of the second tier options and 3.409% of the options may not be exercised unless the fair market value of the underlying shares exceeds the exercise price of the

third tier options. The second tier options have an exercise price equal to Initial Exercise Price increasing at a compound rate of 25% per annum until the exercise date (subject, in certain circumstances, to a cap of 2.25 times the Initial Exercise Price), subject to the additional condition that 3.409% of the options may not be exercised unless the fair market value of the underlying shares exceeds the exercise price of the third tier options. The third tier options have an exercise price equal to Initial Exercise Price increasing at a compound rate of 27.5% per annum until the exercise date (subject, in certain circumstances, to a cap of 2.5 times the Initial Exercise Price).

The Variable Options vested as to 25% immediately on grant, with a further 25% vesting on the first three anniversaries of the effective date of the acquisition of Tomkins, subject to the participant’s continuing employment by the Group on the vesting date. Vesting will be accelerated in the event of a change of control or a liquidity event while the participant is still employed by the Group and on a graduated basis for good leavers.

The fair value of the Variable Options at their grant date was measured using a Monte Carlo valuation model as follows:

 

        Q4 2010  

Fair value:

    

– First tier

       $1,164   

– Second tier

       $994   

– Third tier

       $933   

Inputs to the model:

    

– Share price at the grant date

       $1,966   

– Exercise price at the grant date

       $1,966   

– Expected volatility

       83.5%   

– Expected life

       5 years   

– Risk-free interest rate

       1.37%   

– Expected dividends

       nil   

The Monte Carlo valuation model simulates the share price on the exercise date assuming the share price follows geometric Brownian motion. Based on the simulated share price, the model calculates the exercise price in accordance with the rules of the scheme and applies the discount factor to the resulting simulated payoff on exercise of the option. The model is run for a large number of simulations and the fair value of the option is determined as the average payoff on exercise of the option over those simulations.

The Company is an unlisted entity but it was considered that Tomkins plc was a similar listed entity. Expected volatility of the price of the ‘B’ shares in the Company was therefore determined using the Merton model based on the historical volatility of the market price of Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares over the expected life of the options having made adjustments to reflect the higher leverage ratio of the Company compared with that of Tomkins plc.

The expected life of the options reflects the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

Since the grant date, there has been no change in the number of Variable Options that remain outstanding. Details of the Variable Options outstanding as at December 31, 2010 were as follows:

If the Variable Options remain outstanding but unexercised, they will expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As at December 31, 2010, the Variable Options had a remaining contractual life of 9.75 years.

During Q4 2010, the compensation expense recognized in relation to the Variable Options was $72.2 million.

Other share awards

Retention Awards

Following the acquisition of Tomkins, awards over 3,645 ‘B’ shares in the Company, named the Retention Awards, were granted to certain executives. Retention Awards are deferred shares that normally become vested as to one-third of the award on the first three anniversaries of the effective date of the acquisition of Tomkins subject to the participant’s continuing employment by the Group at the vesting date. Vesting will be accelerated in the event of a change of control or a liquidity event while the participant is still employed by the Group, if the holder dies, has his or her employment terminated due to disability or without cause or resigns for good reason.

On the principal assumption that there will be no dividend payments during the vesting period, the fair value on the grant date of the Retention Awards was $1,966. During Q4 2010, the compensation expense recognized in relation to the Retention Awards was $0.2 million.

Annual Bonus Incentive Plan

Bonuses payable and accrued under the Annual Bonus Incentive Plan (‘ABIP’) during the transitional period between the acquisition of Tomkins and December 31, 2010 have been and are to be settled wholly in cash. While ABIP will continue in 2011, the nature of the share-based element of the plan has not yet been finalized.

B. Legacy schemes

While most of the awards and options that were outstanding under the employee share schemes that were operated by Tomkins Limited were exercised, settled or replaced at the time of the acquisition of Tomkins, there remained outstanding a number of options over ordinary shares in Tomkins Limited that had vested but had not been exercised by the optionholders. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, these options remain exercisable in accordance with the rules of the relevant schemes. Accordingly, they are recognized by the Group as non-controlling interests in Tomkins Limited measured at their fair value at the acquisition date.

B. Legacy schemes (continued)

 

In view of the fact that certain participants would lose preferential tax treatment as a consequence of the acquisition of Tomkins and/or would not be able to exercise their options in full at the time of the acquisition, the Group agreed to make an ex gratia payment to those participants who chose to exercise their options conditionally on the acquisition becoming effective of an amount equal to the aggregate of (i) an amount which, after deduction of income tax and national insurance contributions, equaled the income tax, if any, payable on the exercise of such options and (ii) an amount which, after deduction of income tax and national insurance contributions, equaled the additional profit which the participant would have received if the participant had been able to exercise his or her options in full at the date of acquisition. In the event, the ex gratia payment amounted to $11.3 million, of which $2.4 million was recognized by the Group as part of the consideration paid to acquire Tomkins and $8.9 million was recognized as an expense within acquisition costs.

Subsequent to the acquisition, there remained 64,909 options outstanding under the Tomkins Sharesave Scheme, which either had been exercised or had expired as at December 31, 2010.

PREDECESSOR

Prior to its acquisition by the Group, Tomkins plc operated a number of employee share schemes to provide incentives to the Group’s senior executives and other eligible employees. Options and awards made under these schemes were in respect of Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares. Although Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares were denominated in US dollars, they were quoted in sterling on the London Stock Exchange.

A. Share options

Options were granted from time to time under the Tomkins Sharesave Scheme, which was restricted to employees who are resident for tax purposes in the UK. It offered eligible employees the option to buy ordinary shares in Tomkins plc after a period of three, five or seven years, funded from the proceeds of a savings contract to which employees contributed up to £250 per month.

Vested options remained outstanding under Tomkins plc’s executive share option schemes which lapsed for the purpose of new awards in 2005. The final unvested options under these schemes vested during 2007.

In 9M 2010, the compensation expense in respect of share options was $0.7 million, of which $0.5 million was accelerated due to the early vesting of options on the acquisition of Tomkins. In Fiscal 2009, the compensation expense in respect of share options was $1.0 million (Fiscal 2008: $0.8 million).

The fair value of options granted under the Sharesave Scheme was measured at their respective grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula based on the following assumptions:

Expected volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of the market price of Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares over the expected life of the options. Adjustments have been made to the expected life used in the model to reflect the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioral considerations.

B. Other share awards

The Group’s principal share-based compensation arrangements were the Annual Bonus Incentive Plan (‘ABIP’) and the Performance Share Plan (‘PSP’). Both were restricted to the Group’s senior executives.

Certain executives of Tomkins participated in the ABIP under which each participant received a bonus which represents a percentage of the ‘bonusable profit’ of the business for which he or she had responsibility. Bonuses were determined based on bonusable profit for the calendar year. Interim payments were made quarterly in June, September and December based on 75% of bonusable profit for the year to date and the balance of the bonus for the year was paid in March of the following year. Senior participants normally received their bonus as to four-sevenths in cash, one seventh in Restricted Award Shares and two-sevenths in Deferred Award Shares. Other participants normally received their bonus as to three-quarters in cash, one twelfth in Restricted Award Shares and one sixth in Deferred Award Shares. Restricted awards vested immediately on grant. Dividends were paid on the Restricted Shares. Deferred awards did not vest until three years after the end of the quarter to which the bonus related, subject to the participant’s continuing employment by the Group at the vesting date. If the participant ceased to be employed by the Group, the deferred awards vested on a pro-rata basis. Dividends were not paid on the Deferred Award Shares until they had vested. During Fiscal 2009, awards were granted over 999,108 ordinary shares (Fiscal 2008: 1,789,628 ordinary shares) under the ABIP.

In Fiscal 2009, the Interim Bonus Plan (‘IBP’) was introduced as a temporary, one-year substitute for the ABIP. The IBP differed from the ABIP only in that bonuses accruing under the plan were based on the trading cash flow of the business for which the participants had responsibility and on the attainment of strategic achievement milestones that were set for each of the participants and the quarterly phasing of awards was suspended. In March 2010, awards were granted over 1,748,274 ordinary shares, which represented the share element of bonuses earned under the IBP during Fiscal 2009.

36. Share-based incentives continued

 

B. Other share awards (continued)

 

The ABIP was reinstated for 2010. In June 2010, awards were granted over 482,749 ordinary shares, which represented the share element of bonuses earned under the ABIP in the first quarter of 2010. As a consequence of the acquisition of Tomkins, the share-based element of the ABIP was suspended and bonuses earned in the second and third quarters of 2010 were settled entirely in cash.

The PSP provided awards of shares which vested after a period of three years, conditional on the Group’s total shareholder return relative to its cost of equity over the vesting period and the participant’s continued employment with the Group. During 9M 2010, awards were granted over 5,558,211 ordinary shares under the PSP (Fiscal 2009: 6,894,193 ordinary shares; Fiscal 2008: 7,115,194 ordinary shares).

The fair value of awards made under the ABIP and the IBP was measured based on the market price of the Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares on the date of the award. Where the awards did not attract dividends during the vesting period, the market price was reduced by the present value of the dividends that were expected to be paid during the expected life of the awards. The weighted average fair value of awards made under these schemes during 9M 2010 was 219.8p (Fiscal 2009: 130.46p; Fiscal 2008: 125.66p).

The fair value of awards made under the PSP was measured at their respective grant dates using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the following assumptions:

 

      9M 2010      Fiscal 2009      Fiscal 2008  

Weighted average fair value

     63.70p         41.92p         43.92p   

Weighted average assumptions:

        

– Expected volatility

     48.00%         45.36%         36.41%   

– Expected life

     3.00 years         3.00 years         3.00 years   

– Risk-free interest rate

     1.90%         2.00%         4.71%   

– Dividend yield

     3.23%         4.87%         8.84%   

Expected volatility was determined based on the historical volatility of the market price of Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares over the expected life of the awards.

In 9M 2010, the compensation expense in respect of other share awards was $20.5 million, of which $13.0 million was accelerated due to the early vesting or lapsing of awards on the acquisition of Tomkins. In Fiscal 2009, the compensation expense in respect of other share awards was $10.3 million (Fiscal 2008: $11.2 million).

B. Share capital (continued)

 

On September 1, 2010, the date on which the Company was incorporated, two ‘A’ shares and 1,080,000 ‘B’ shares were issued for cash at their nominal value. On September 27, 2010, the holder of the ‘B’ shares subscribed an additional amount of 1,578.3 million by way of a contribution to share premium. The Company used the amount of the contribution to subscribe for additional shares in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Tomkins Acquisitions Limited, which, in turn, used the contribution to partially fund the acquisition of Tomkins.

Shareholders have no entitlement to share in the profits of the Company, except for dividends that have been declared and in the event of its liquidation. Dividends may be paid out of profits allocated to the Shareholders and from their respective share premium accounts. Any profit earned in a financial year is allocated to the Shareholders after the adoption of the annual accounts for the financial year at a General Meeting of the Shareholders. Each of the ‘A’ shares is entitled to a cumulative profit allocation of 1,000 in respect of the financial year. Any profit for the financial year remaining after the allocation of profit to the ‘A’ shares is allocated to the ‘B’ shares on a pro rata basis. Dividends may be declared only on a resolution of the Shareholders in General Meeting and may not exceed the amount of the Company’s distributable reserves as determined in accordance with Dutch law (which currently comprises the excess of the Company’s net assets over its issued share capital).

Shareholders have the right to attend, and vote at, general meetings of the Company or to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at such meetings on their behalf. A General Meeting of the Shareholders shall take place at least once each year and no later than six months after the end of the previous financial year. Each ‘A’ share has the right to cast 360,000 votes and each ‘B’ share has the right to cast one vote. Resolutions of a General Meeting may generally only be adopted with a majority of the votes cast. In the event of a tie of votes, the resolution shall be rejected. Resolutions of a General Meeting may also be adopted in writing without recourse to a meeting, provided they are adopted by a unanimous vote of all Shareholders.

C. Shares to be issued

Following the acquisition of Tomkins, certain members of the Tomkins management team invested in the Group by way of subscribing for ‘B’ shares in the Company. In total, the participating members of the Tomkins management team subscribed for 8,838 ‘B’ shares for the Euro equivalent of $17.4 million in cash. As at December 31, 2010, the shares had not yet been registered in the names of the participants.

D. Share premium account

The share premium accounts record the difference between the nominal value of shares issued and the fair value of the consideration received. The Company maintains two share premium accounts so as to record the premium on the issue of the ‘A’ shares separately from the premium on the issue of the ‘B’ shares. Provided the Company has sufficient distributable profits as determined in accordance with Dutch law, the holders of the ‘A’ shares and the ‘B’ shares may resolve in a General Meeting of their respective classes of shares to pay dividends from their respective share premium accounts.

B. Ordinary shares

On 22 May 2008, the Tomkins plc’s ordinary shares were redenominated from sterling to US dollars. The redenomination did not affect the rights of the holders of ordinary shares.

Ordinary shareholders have no entitlement to share in the profits of Tomkins plc, except for dividends that have been declared and in the event of its liquidation.

Ordinary shareholders have the right to attend, and vote at, general meetings of Tomkins plc or to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at such meetings on their behalf. Ordinary shareholders have one vote for every share held.

Ordinary share capital represents the nominal value of ordinary shares issued.

C. Deferred shares

When Tomkins plc redenominated its ordinary shares from sterling to US dollars, it was required by law to have a minimum share capital of £50,000 denominated in sterling. The deferred shares were issued to meet this requirement, which was removed on the implementation of section 542 of the Companies Act 2006 on October 1, 2009. Accordingly, Tomkins plc bought back and cancelled the deferred shares on December 16, 2009 and transferred the nominal amount of the shares to the capital redemption reserve in accordance with the applicable capital maintenance rules.

The deferred shares were not listed on any investment exchange and had extremely limited rights such that they effectively had no value.

41. Acquisition of businesses

SUCCESSOR

A. Acquisition of Tomkins

On September 24, 2010, Tomkins Acquisitions Limited (formerly Pinafore Acquisitions Limited), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the entire issued ordinary share capital of Tomkins plc, the parent company of a global engineering and manufacturing group, for consideration of £3.25 per share.

Consideration payable on the acquisition of Tomkins amounted to $4,615.4 million, which was settled as to $4,535.0 million in cash, $45.5 million in loan notes and $34.9 million in options granted over ordinary ‘B’ shares in the Company. Based on the initial estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, the Group has recognized provisional goodwill of $1,742.1 million on the acquisition of Tomkins. Management has been unable to finalize its assessment of the fair values at the acquisition date of certain identifiable intangible assets and items of property, plant and equipment, but expects to complete the assessment during the first half of 2011.

Goodwill recognized on the acquisition of Tomkins is principally attributable to expected future opportunities to increase sales and further enhance margins by further developing Tomkins’ product range and service capabilities (with an emphasis on the growing markets for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly products), extending Tomkins’ global presence by further penetrating markets in the emerging economies, and by pursuing performance improvement initiatives. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Tomkins accounted for the Group’s entire sales and $270.2 million of its loss for the period ended December 31, 2010. If Tomkins had been acquired on September 1, 2010, when the Company was incorporated, the Group’s sales for the successor period would have been $386.6 million higher, at $1,675.8 million and the Group’s loss for the period would have been $10.0 million lower at $260.2 million.

Acquisition-related costs of $78.2 million were recognized and expensed during Q4 2010.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION

Pinafore Holdings B.V. (‘the Company’ or ‘the Successor’) was incorporated on September 1, 2010 in and under the laws of The Netherlands.

On September 24, 2010, Tomkins Acquisitions Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the entire issued ordinary share capital of Tomkins plc (‘Tomkins’ or ‘the Predecessor’). On the acquisition date, Tomkins plc was re-registered as a private company and its name was changed to Tomkins Limited.

Condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for periods preceding and succeeding the acquisition of Tomkins. Prior to the acquisition, Tomkins drew up its financial statements to the Saturday nearest the end of the relevant calendar year or calendar quarter. Accordingly, Predecessor financial statements are presented for the 13-week period from January 3, 2010 to April 3, 2010 (‘Q1 2010’). The Predecessor financial statements do not reflect the effects of the accounting for the acquisition of Tomkins. The Company draws up its annual financial statements to December 31 and its quarterly financial statements to the Saturday nearest the end of the relevant calendar quarter. Accordingly, Successor financial statements are presented for the 13-week period from January 1, 2011 to April 2, 2011 (‘Q1 2011’).

References herein to ‘the Group’ refer, in the period prior to the acquisition of Tomkins, to Tomkins and its subsidiaries and, in the period subsequent to the acquisition of Tomkins, to the Company and its subsidiaries.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ and were approved by the Board of Directors on May 16, 2011.

Except for the adoption at the beginning of 2011 of ‘Improvements to IFRSs 2010’, which did not have any significant impact on the Group’s results or financial position, the Group’s accounting policies are unchanged compared with the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

2 SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

A) BACKGROUND

The Group’s operating segments are identified by grouping together businesses that manufacture similar products, as this is the basis on which information is provided to the Board for the purposes of allocating resources within the Group and assessing the performance of the Group’s businesses.

The Group is organized for management reporting purposes into two business groups: Industrial & Automotive and Building Products. Within these two business groups, management distinguishes between those of the Group’s operating segments that are ongoing and those that have been exited but do not meet the conditions to be classified as discontinued operations.

Industrial & Automotive manufactures a wide range of systems and components for the industrial equipment, car and truck manufacturing markets, and industrial and automotive aftermarkets throughout the world. Industrial & Automotive is comprised of four ongoing operating segments: Power Transmission, Fluid Power, Sensors & Valves and Other Industrial & Automotive.

Building Products is comprised of two ongoing operating segments: Air Distribution and Bathware. Air Distribution supplies the industrial and residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning market, mainly in North America. Bathware manufactures baths and whirlpools for the residential, and hotel and resort development markets, mainly in North America.

The Board uses adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (‘adjusted EBITDA’) to measure the profitability of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is, therefore, the measure of segment profit or loss presented in the Group’s segment disclosures.

EBITDA represents profit or loss for the period before net finance costs, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the trading performance of the Group’s businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses.

During the periods under review, the specific items excluded from EBITDA in arriving at adjusted EBITDA were as follows:

 

   

the compensation expense in relation to share-based incentives;

 

   

transaction costs incurred in business combinations;

 

   

restructuring costs; and

 

   

the net gain or loss on disposals and on the exit of businesses.

3 RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES

Restructuring costs amounting to $15.7 million were recognized during Q1 2011, principally in relation to Project Sierra, a Group-wide initiative that focuses on identifying and implementing cost reduction opportunities and efficiency improvements. Also during Q1 2011, a provision for restructuring costs of $10.3 million was released due to the reversal of the decision to close a division of Stackpole, a business included within the Power Transmission operating segment, following the recovery in the demand for its products.

The Group’s secured borrowings are jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and secured by liens on substantially all of their assets. An analysis of the security given is presented in note 21.

The carrying amount of borrowings includes the following items, each of which are being amortized to profit or loss over the term of the related borrowings using the effective interest method:

 

   

costs incurred on the arrangement and subsequent re-pricing of the Term Loan A and Term Loan B credit facilities and on the issuance of the Second Lien Notes;

 

   

the fair value on inception of the interest rate floor (an embedded derivative) that applies to amounts drawn down under the Term Loan A and Term Loan B credit facilities and the change in the fair value of the interest rate floor that resulted from the subsequent re-pricing of the facilities; and

 

   

a purchase accounting adjustment to reflect the excess of the fair value of the 2011 Notes and the 2015 Notes over their principal amount on the effective date of the acquisition of Tomkins.

The carrying amount of borrowings may be reconciled to the principal amount outstanding as follows:

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The Group has Senior Secured Credit Facilities consisting of a Term Loan A credit facility, a Term Loan B credit facility and a senior secured revolving credit facility. The Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility mature on September 29, 2015 and the Term Loan B credit facility matures on September 29, 2016.

The Term Loan A credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 2.5% and the Term Loan B credit facility is subject to quarterly amortization payments of 0.25%, in each case based on the original principal amount less certain prepayments with the balance payable on maturity. During Q1 2011, the Group made quarterly amortization payments of $7.4 million against the Term Loan A facility and $4.2 million against the Term Loan B facility. As at April 2, 2011, the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan A credit facility was $288.6 million and that under the Term Loan B credit facility was $1,673.1 million.

The revolving credit facility provides for multi-currency revolving loans and letters of credit up to an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, with a letter of credit sub-facility of $100.0 million. As at April 2, 2011, there were no drawings for cash under the revolving credit facility but there were letters of credit outstanding amounting to $39.7 million.

Borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a floating rate, which can be either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or, at the Group’s option, a base rate as defined in the credit agreement plus an applicable margin. LIBOR and the base rate are both subject to floors. On inception of the facilities, the applicable margin for the Term Loan B credit facility was 4.5% per annum for LIBOR and 3.5% per annum for base rate. The applicable margin for the Term Loan A credit facility and the revolving credit facility was between 3.75% and 4.25% per annum for LIBOR and 2.75% and 3.25% per annum for base rate depending on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio. LIBOR was subject to a 1.75% floor and base rate was subject to a 2.75% floor. Effective February 17, 2011, the Group agreed with the providers of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities a re-pricing of Term Loan A and Term Loan B and amendments to certain of the covenants attaching to the facilities. For both Term Loan A and Term Loan B the applicable margin for LIBOR was reduced to 3.0% per annum, with LIBOR being subject to a 1.25% floor, and the applicable margin for base rate was reduced to 2.0% per annum, with base rate being subject to a 2.25% floor. Management considered that the re-pricing did not cause a substantial change in the net present value of the expected future cash flows in relation to the facilities. Accordingly, the Group recognized neither a gain nor a loss on the re-pricing and recognized the associated costs of $23.4 million and the decrease of $18.1 million in the interest rate floor liability as adjustments to the carrying amounts of the borrowings outstanding under the facilities.

As at April 2, 2011, borrowings under both Term Loan A and Term Loan B attracted an interest rate of 4.25% per annum (in both cases, to be next re-set on June 30, 2011). Each letter of credit issued under the revolving credit facility attracts a participation fee equal to the applicable LIBOR margin under the revolving credit facility to the maximum amount available to be drawn and a fronting fee of the greater of 0.25% of the maximum amount available to be drawn and $1,500 per annum. An unused line fee of 0.75% per annum is based on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility (which may decrease to 0.5% per annum based on a total leverage to EBITDA ratio).

Second Lien Notes

As at April 2, 2011, the Group had outstanding $1,150.0 million 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (‘the Second Lien Notes’).

The Second Lien Notes mature on October 1, 2018.

On and after October 1, 2014, the Group may redeem the Second Lien Notes, at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentage of the principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date:

 

      Redemption price  

During the year commencing:

  

– October 1, 2014

     104.50%   

– October 1, 2015

     102.25%   

– October 1, 2016 and thereafter

     100.00%   

At any time prior to October 1, 2014, the Group may redeem the Second Lien Notes at its option, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the greater of (i) 1% of the principal amount and (ii) the excess of the present value at the redemption date of the redemption price as at October 1, 2014 and the required interest payments due from the redemption date to October 1, 2014 (discounted using an appropriate US Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points) over the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

At any time, or from time to time, prior to October 1, 2013, but not more than once in any twelve-month period, the Group may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes at a redemption price of 103% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the redemption date.

14 BORROWINGS (CONTINUED)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time and from time to time prior to October 1, 2013, the Group may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Second Lien Notes) with the net cash proceeds of equity offerings by Pinafore Coöperatief U.A., the Company’s parent undertaking, or certain of its subsidiaries at a redemption price of 109% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to but not including the redemption date, provided that at least 65% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Second Lien Notes remain outstanding after each such redemption (calculated after giving effect to any issuance of additional Second Lien Notes) and the Group satisfies certain other conditions.

In the event of a change of control over the Company, each holder will have the right to require the Group to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Second Lien Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, except to the extent that the Group has previously elected to redeem the Second Lien Notes.

2011 Notes and 2015 Notes

When it was acquired by the Group, Tomkins had in issue 8% notes repayable at par on December 20, 2011 (the ‘2011 Notes’) and 6.125% notes repayable at par on September 16, 2015 (the ‘2015 Notes’).

During Q1 2011, the Group settled £4.9 million of the 2011 Notes for which acceptances were received in response to its offer to purchase that was made on December 30, 2010. As at April 2, 2011, the principal amount outstanding of the 2011 Notes was £102.1 million and that of the 2015 Notes was £17.2 million.

Other loan notes

Other loan notes principally comprise the loan notes that certain shareholders in Tomkins Limited elected to receive as an alternative to cash in respect of all or part of the consideration payable to them by the Group on the acquisition of Tomkins (the ‘Loan Note Alternative’). As at April 2, 2011, loan notes with a principal amount of £29.0 million were outstanding under the Loan Note Alternative. The loan notes accrue interest at the higher of 0.8% below LIBOR and 0% (to be next re-set on July 1, 2011).

The loan notes fall due for repayment, at par, on December 31, 2015. From June 30, 2011 until December 31, 2015, each holder has the right to require full or part repayment, at par, half-yearly on June 30 and December 31 and for this reason these loan notes are classified as current liabilities. The Group may purchase some or all of the loan notes at any time and at any price by tender, private treaty or otherwise.

Although the loan notes are unsecured, the Group is required to retain in an escrow account cash equivalent to the nominal amount of the outstanding loan notes.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

21 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities and the Second Lien Notes were issued by Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC (‘the Issuers’), which are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, and are jointly and severally, irrevocably and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain other of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (‘the Guarantors’).

Supplemental condensed consolidating financial information is presented below comprising the Group’s income statements and cash flow statements for Q1 2011 and Q1 2010 and its balance sheets as at April 2, 2011 and December 31, 2010, showing the amounts attributable to the Company, the Issuers and those of its other subsidiaries that were Guarantors as at April 2, 2011 separately from the amounts attributable to those of its subsidiaries that were not Guarantors. The condensed consolidating financial information is prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies, except that investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by their parent company under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the parent company’s income statement includes on one line its share of the profit or loss of its subsidiary undertakings and the parent company’s balance sheet includes on one line its share of the net assets of its subsidiary undertakings.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

We carry directors’ and officers’ insurance, which covers our directors and officers against certain liabilities they may incur when acting in their capacity as directors or officers. Certain of these individuals serve at our request as directors or officers of the additional registrants. In addition to potential indemnification and advancement that may be available from us, the directors and officers of the additional registrants may also be entitled to indemnification and advancement to the extent provided in the applicable additional registrant’s organizational documents or under the laws under which the additional registrants are organized, as described below.

Colorado Corporate Guarantor

Gates Development Corporation

Colorado Business Corporation Act

The Colorado Corporate Guarantor is organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Colorado pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes, §§ 7-101-101 et. seq., which is also known as the Colorado Business Corporation Act (the “CBCA”).

Pursuant to the CBCA, in the case of both third-party or derivative actions, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer, or a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity of another entity (whom, we refer to in this document as a “person”) against all cost, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the person in any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) in which the person is involved because of that association, if:

 

  (a) The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and

 

  (b) The person reasonably believed:

(I) In the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; and

(II) In all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and

(c) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Further, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation is required to indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director.

Except as ordered by a court, however, no indemnification is to be made (i) in connection with any Proceeding brought by or in the right of the corporation where the person involved is adjudged to be liable to the corporation, or (ii) in connection with any other Proceeding charging that the person derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which Proceeding the person is adjudged liable on the basis that the person derived an improper personal benefit.

The CBCA provides that a corporation may provide (in its bylaws or by action of its directors or shareholders) for indemnification of its officers, who are not also directors of the corporation, to a greater extent than the indemnification provided to its directors.

The CBCA provides that a corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a person who is a party to a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding if:

(a) The person furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of the person’s good-faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described above;

 

II-1


Table of Contents

(b) The person furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the person’s behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and

(c) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this article.

Pursuant to the CBCA, a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from the person’s status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent. The corporation may purchase such insurance whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against the same liability pursuant to the CBCA.

The CBCA provides that, if so provided in a corporation’s articles of incorporation, the corporation shall limit or eliminate the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director; except that any such provision shall not limit or eliminate the liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, unlawful distributions to shareholders, or any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any such provision in a corporation’s articles of incorporation may not have retroactive effect.

The CBCA provides that no person shall be personally liable for any injury to person or property arising out of a tort committed by an employee unless such person was personally involved in the situation giving rise to the litigation or unless such person committed a criminal offense in connection with such situation.

Articles of Incorporation

The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Colorado Corporate Guarantor provides that the Colorado Corporate Guarantor shall indemnify, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any person who is or was a director, officer, agent, fiduciary or employee of the corporation against any claim, liability or expense arising against or incurred by such person made party to a proceeding because he is or was a director, officer, agent, fiduciary or employee of the Colorado Corporate Guarantor or because he is or was serving another entity or an employee benefit plan as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent at the Colorado Corporate Guarantor’s request. The Colorado Corporate Guarantor shall further have the authority to the maximum extent permitted by law to purchase and maintain insurance providing such indemnification. The right to indemnification shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Colorado Corporate Guarantor reasonable expenses of the type entitled to be indemnified hereunder incurred by a person indemnified hereunder who is, or is threatened to be made, a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding. Such payment or reimbursement may be made in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding and without any determination as to the person’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification, provided that such person delivers to the Colorado Corporate Guarantor a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified. The Colorado Corporate Guarantor may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself, its sole shareholder and any person entitled to indemnification against any expense, liability, or loss, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability, or loss.

Additionally, no director of the Colorado Corporate Guarantor shall have any personal liability for monetary damages to the corporation or its sole shareholder for breach of his fiduciary duty as a director, except it shall not eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the Colorado Corporate Guarantor or its sole shareholder for monetary damages for: (i) any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Colorado Corporate Guarantor or its sole shareholder; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) voting for or assenting to a distribution in violation of § 7-106-401 of the CBCA or

the articles of incorporation if it is established that the director did not perform his duties in compliance with § 7-108-401 of the CBCA, provided that the personal liability of a director in this circumstance shall be limited to the amount of the distribution which exceeds what could have been distributed without violation of § 7-106-401 of the CBCA or the articles of incorporation; or (iv) any transaction from which the director directly or indirectly derives an improper personal benefit. Nothing contained herein will be construed to deprive any director of his right to all defenses ordinarily available to a director nor will anything herein be construed to deprive any director of any right he may have for contribution from any other director or other person.

BMD’s Operating Agreement further provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from BMD for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of BMD and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by the Operating Agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity by BMD shall be provided out of and to the extent of BMD’s assets only, and the Colorado Corporate Guarantor shall not have personal liability on account thereof.

BMD’s Operating Agreement also provides that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by BMD prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by BMD of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of BMD and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to BMD by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of BMD, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Colorado Corporate Guarantor might properly be paid.

General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware

Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) grants corporations the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful.

Table of Contents

In the case of an action by or in the right of the corporation, Section 145 of the DGCL grants corporations the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 145 of the DGCL also empowers a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145 of the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors to a corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached his duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock purchase or redemption in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

Pursuant to the agreement of limited partnership of Selkirk Americas, L.P. the general partner shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to a limited partner for any action or omission on behalf of the partnership taken in good faith within the scope of authority conferred to such person or for any act or omission that was consented to or approved by the limited partner, unless such action or failure to act was performed or omitted fraudulently or constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct. Further, pursuant to such agreement of limited partnership, the partnership shall indemnify each general partner and any of its members, managers, officers, employees or agents who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, by reason of any acts, omissions, or alleged acts or omissions not taken in bad faith and arising out of such person’s activities as a general partner, or as a member manager, officer, employee or agent of the general partner, on behalf of the partnership or in furtherance of the interest of the partnership, against losses, damages or expenses for which such person has not otherwise been reimbursed actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person did not act, in connection with the acts or omissions for which indemnification is sought, fraudulently or in a manner constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Pursuant to the agreement of limited partnership of Selkirk Canada Holdings, L.P., none of its partners, or any officers, directors, members, managers, stockholders, partners, employees, representatives, consultants or agents of any of the partners, nor any officer, employee, representative, consultant or agent of the partnership or any of its affiliates shall have any liability to the partnership or any other person for any act or omission relating to the partnership and the conduct of its business, the partnership agreement, any related document or any transaction contemplated thereby taken or omitted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that such act or omission was in or was not contrary to the best interests of the partnership, provided that such act or omission does not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence. Further, pursuant to such agreement of limited partnership, each general partner and each limited partner and each officer, director, member or manager of either the general partner or the limited partner shall be indemnified by the partnership to the fullest extent permitted by law against any losses, claims, demands, judgments, fines, settlements, liabilities, expenses and other amounts arising from any and all actions, suits or proceedings, in which such person may be involved, or threatened to be involved, by reason of its management of the affairs of the partnership or which relates to or arises out of the partnership or its property, business or affairs, provided that such person did not engage in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence with respect to such claim. The partnership may advance to such person any amounts required to defend any claim for which they may be entitled to indemnification if such person promises to repay any amounts advanced by the partnership if it is determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification. The partnership may, at the discretion of its general partner, provide indemnification to any employees, representatives, agents or consultants of the partnership or any of its subsidiaries to the same extent outlined above.

Pursuant to the agreement of limited partnership of Tomkins U.S., L.P., none of the general partner, any affiliate of the general partner, any officer, director or employee of the general partner or such affiliate, nor any member of the partnership management committee shall have any liability to the partnership for any loss, damage, liability or expenses suffered by the partnership or the limited partners by reason of any act, alleged act or omission of such person that was performed in good faith on behalf of the partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be within the scope of authority granted to such person and in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the partnership, provided that such person is not guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Further, pursuant to such agreement of limited partnership, the partnership shall indemnify each such person listed above, for any claim, demand, loss, damage, liability or expense by reason of any act, alleged act or omission taken in good faith on behalf of the partnership and in a manner reasonably believed by such person to be within the scope of authority granted to such person and in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the partnership, provided that such person is not guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct. No indemnification shall be provided in connection with any claim or settlement unless such person is successful in defending such action and such indemnification (and the settlement, in the case of a settlement) is approved by a court of law.

Indiana Guarantor

Hytec, Inc.

Indiana Business Corporation Law

The Indiana Business Corporation Law (“IBCL”), the provisions of which govern e Industries, Inc., empowers an Indiana corporation to indemnify present and former directors, officers, employees or agents or any person who may have served at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation (“Eligible Persons”) against liability incurred in any proceeding, civil or criminal, in which the Eligible Person is made a party by reason of being or having been in any such capacity or arising out of his status as such, if the individual acted in good faith and reasonably believed that (a) the individual was acting in the best interests of the corporation, (b) if the challenged action was taken other than in the individual’s official capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent, the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, or (c) if a criminal proceeding, either the individual had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The IBCL further empowers a corporation to pay or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by an Eligible Person in connection with the defense of any such claim including counsel fees, and, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, the corporation is required to indemnify an Eligible Person against reasonable expenses if he or she is wholly successful in any such proceeding, on the merits or otherwise. Under certain circumstances, a corporation may pay or reimburse an Eligible Person for reasonable expenses prior to final disposition of the matter. Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation otherwise provide, an Eligible Person may apply for indemnification to a court which may order indemnification upon a determination that the Eligible Person is entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances without regard to whether his or her actions satisfied the appropriate standard of conduct.

Before a corporation may indemnify any Eligible Person against liability or reasonable expenses under the IBCL, a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the proceeding must (1) determine that indemnification is permissible in the specific circumstances because an Eligible Person met the requisite standard of conduct, (2) authorize the corporation to indemnify the Eligible Person and (3) if appropriate, evaluate the reasonableness of expenses for which indemnification is sought. If it is not possible to obtain a quorum of uninvolved directors, the foregoing action may be taken by a committee of two or more directors who are not parties to the proceeding, special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or such a committee, or by the shareholders of the corporation.

In addition to the foregoing, the IBCL states that the indemnification it provides shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any provision of the articles of incorporation, bylaws, resolution or other authorization adopted, after notice by a majority vote of all the voting shares then issued and outstanding. The IBCL also empowers an Indiana corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Eligible Person against any liability asserted against or incurred by him or her in any capacity as such, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation would have had the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

By-Laws

The By-Laws of the Indiana Guarantor contain provisions under which the officers and directors of the Indiana Guarantor are entitled to indemnification as a matter of right against expenses reasonably incurred by any such person in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, civil or criminal, in which such person is made or threatened to be made, a party, by reason of being or having been in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, except in relation to matters as to which he is adjudged in such action to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of duty to the Indiana Guarantor.

Kentucky Revised Statutes

Section 271B.8-510 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes (“KRS”) provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (a) he conducted himself in good faith; and (b) he reasonably believed (1) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests and (2) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. A corporation may not indemnify a director under KRS 271B.8-510: (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (b) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. Indemnification permitted under KRS 271B.8-510 in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

A corporation may not indemnify a director under KRS 271B.8-510 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in KRS 271B.8-510. The determination is made by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; or if a quorum cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; or by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or its committee in the manner prescribed above, or if a quorum or committee is not obtainable or cannot be designated, by majority vote of the full board of directors; or by the shareholders, but shares owned or controlled by directors who at the time were parties to the proceeding cannot be voted.

Under KRS 271B.8-530 a corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if (i) the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct required for indemnification, (ii) the director furnishes the corporation a written personal undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the standard of conduct, and (iii) the corporation determines that the facts then known to those making the determination will not preclude indemnification.

Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, a director who has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the corporation is entitled to indemnification against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding. Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee or agent of the corporation to the same extent as it may to a director. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to KRS 271B.8-500 to 271B.8-580 is not exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may otherwise be entitled.

By-Laws

Article X of the Restated and Amended Bylaws of the Kentucky Guarantor provides that the corporation shall indemnify each of its directors and officers who is made a party to a proceeding in accordance with KRS 271B.8-500 to 271B.8-580, and that all reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer who is made a party to a proceeding may be reimbursed by the corporation or paid in advance in accordance with KRS 271B.8-500 to 271B.8-580.

Michigan Business Corporation Act

The Michigan Guarantor is organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the “MBCA”) which, in general, empowers Michigan corporations to indemnify a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

The MBCA also empowers Michigan corporations to provide similar indemnity to such a person for expenses, including attorney’s fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with actions or suits by or in the right of the corporation if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the interests of the corporation or its shareholders, except in respect of any claim, issue or matter in which the person has been found liable to the corporation, unless the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all relevant circumstances, in which case indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred. If a person is successful in defending against a derivative action or third-party action, the MBCA requires that a Michigan corporation indemnify the person against expenses incurred in the action.

Bylaws

The Michigan Guarantor’s bylaws generally require the Michigan Guarantor to indemnify officers, directors and employees to the fullest extent legally possible under the MBCA and provide that similar indemnification may be afforded employees and agents. In addition, the bylaws require the Michigan Guarantor to indemnify any person who is or was serving at the request of the Michigan Guarantor as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another entity to the same degree as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. The Michigan Guarantor’s bylaws further provide for the advancement of litigation expenses under certain circumstances.

Ohio Revised Code

Section 1701.13(E)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code (“O.R.C.”) provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party, or threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer employee, agent or other capacity of another entity, against expenses, including attorney’s fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if (i) he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 1701.13(E)(2) of the O.R.C. provides that if the action or suit is by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such suit or

action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any of the following: (i) any matter as to which such person is adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless a court determines that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses or (ii) any action or suit in which the only liability asserted against a director is an unlawful loan, dividend or distribution of assets or purchase or redemption of shares pursuant to O.R.C. §1701.95.

Any indemnification under O.R.C. §1701.13(E), unless ordered by a court, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because he met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination is made by a majority vote of a quorum of directors not parties to or threatened with the action; or if such a quorum is not obtainable, or if a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, in a written opinion by independent legal counsel; or by the shareholders; or by the court in which such action was brought.

Expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred by a director, officer, employee or agent in defending any action may be paid by the corporation as they are incurred, in advance of final disposition of the action, as authorized by the directors in the specific case, upon receipt of an undertaking by such person to repay such amount if it ultimately is determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Unless the articles or regulations specifically state that the provisions of Section 1701.13(E)(5) of the O.R.C. do not apply and unless the only liability asserted is pursuant to O.R.C. §1701.95, a corporation is required to advance payment of a director’s expenses in defending the action upon receipt of an undertaking by the director to (i) repay such amount if it is proved by clear and convincing evidence in court that his action or failure to act was undertaken with deliberate intent to cause injury to the corporation or with reckless disregard for its best interests and (ii) reasonably cooperate with the corporation concerning the action.

To the extent a director, officer, employee or agent has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, he is entitled to be indemnified against expenses, including attorney’s fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such proceeding. The indemnification authorized by O.R.C. §1701.13(E) is not exclusive of, and is in addition to, any other rights granted to those seeking indemnification under the articles, the regulations, any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

By-Laws and Regulations

Article VIII of the By-Laws of Eastern Sheet Metal, Inc. and FBN Transportation, Inc. provides that each person who was or is made or threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the corporation or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another entity shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent not prohibited by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio against all expenses, liability, loss (including attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement. Expenses incurred by any such person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the director, officer or employee to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. The rights to indemnification and payment of expenses in advance of final disposition in Article VIII are deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and such director, officer or employee who serves in any such capacity while Article VIII and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio are in effect.

Article Five of the Regulations of Tomkins Industries, Inc. provides that the corporation shall indemnify, to the full extent then permitted by law, any person who was or is or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity. The board of directors, whether a disinterested quorum exists or not, may advance to any individual who may be entitled to indemnification under Article Five an amount sufficient to pay expenses incurred by the individual with respect to any such claim, action, suit or proceeding. Before the corporation may make such advance, the individual must agree in writing to repay the amount advanced less the amount of indemnification, if any, which the board of directors ultimately authorizes to be paid to the individual.

Tennessee Code Annotated

The Tennessee Guarantor is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee. Sections 48-18-501 through 48-18-509 of the Tennessee Code Annotated (“T.C.A.”) authorize a corporation to provide for the indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act. The Tennessee Guarantor is subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in those statutes.

T.C.A. Sections 48-18-503 and 48-18-507 require a corporation to indemnify a director or officer, who is successful in defending any proceeding brought against him as a result of his role as director or officer of the corporation, whichever is applicable. The corporation must reimburse the director or officer for reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

Amended and Restated Charter

T.C.A. Section 48-12-102, permits the inclusion in the charter of a Tennessee corporation of a provision, with certain exceptions, eliminating the personal monetary liability of directors to the corporation or its shareholders for breach of the duty of care. The Tennessee Guarantor has adopted the provisions of the statute as Article VIII of its amended and restated charter effective September 8, 1997.

Washington Guarantor

Hytec, Inc.

Revised Code of Washington

Title 23B of the Revised Code of Washington (the “Washington Business Corporation Act”), provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because the individual is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in the proceeding, if (a) the individual acted in good faith, and (b) the individual reasonably believed that (i) in a case involving conduct in the individual’s official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, and (ii) in all other cases, that the individual’s conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests, and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe that the individual’s conduct was unlawful. A proceeding that is terminated by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, without more, determinative that the director or officer did not meet the standard of conduct required for indemnification. A corporation may not indemnify a director or officer (a) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director or officer was adjudged liable to the corporation, or (b) in connection with any other proceeding which charges improper personal benefit to the director or officer in which the director or officer was adjudged liable on the basis that such director or officer improperly received personal benefit.

 

II-13


Table of Contents

Unless limited by its articles of incorporation, the Washington Business Corporation Act requires a corporation to indemnify a director or officer against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with a proceeding to which the director or officer was made a party because of such person’s status as a director or officer and in which the director or officer was wholly successful on the merits. If authorized by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, resolution adopted by the board of directors or shareholders, or by contract, a corporation may pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred by a director or officer in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding if the director or officer provides a written affirmation of the director’s or officer’s good faith belief that the director or officer has met the applicable standards of conduct described above, and provides the corporation with a written, unlimited personal guaranty to repay the advance if it is determined that the director or officer did not meet such standards of conduct.

Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, a director or officer may also apply to the court conducting the proceeding or any other court of competent jurisdiction for court-ordered indemnification or advancement of expenses. The court may order such indemnification or advancement of expenses if it determines the director or officer (a) is entitled to mandatory indemnification, (b) is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of the relevant circumstances, regardless of whether the director or officer met the applicable standards of conduct described above or was adjudged liable to the corporation, provided that if the director or officer was adjudged liable, indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred unless otherwise provided by the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, contract or a resolution approved or ratified by the shareholders, or (c) the corporation’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, or any applicable resolution or contract entitle the director or officer to payment or reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in advance of final disposition of the proceeding. Furthermore, if authorized by the corporation’s articles of incorporation, a bylaw adopted or ratified by the shareholders, or a resolution adopted or ratified by the shareholders, a corporation may indemnify a director or officer or obligate itself to reimburse expenses incurred by a director or officer without regard to the limitations set forth in the Washington Business Corporation Act, provided that a director or officer shall not be indemnified from or on account of (a) acts or omissions finally adjudged to be intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (b) conduct of a director finally adjudged to have constituted an unlawful distribution, or (c) any transaction with respect to which it was finally adjudged that the director or officer received a benefit in money, property or services to which the director or officer was not legally entitled.

Decisions to indemnify must be made for each specific case after a determination has been made that the applicable standard of conduct has been met, and the Washington Business Corporation Act sets forth certain requirements for making such determination. A corporation must provide shareholders with notice of any indemnification or advance of expenses in the form of a notice delivered with or prior to the notice of the next shareholders’ meeting. Additionally, under the Washington Business Corporation Act, a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer or who, while a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another foreign or domestic entity, against liability asserted against or incurred by the individual in that capacity or arising from the status as a director, officer, employee or agent.

Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth)

Section 199A

Section 199A(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth) (the “Corporations Act”) provides that a company or a related body corporate must not exempt a person (whether directly or through an interposed entity) from a liability to the company incurred as an officer of the company.

Section 199A(2) of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person (whether by agreement or by making a payment and whether directly or through an interposed entity) against any of the following liabilities incurred as an officer of the company:

 

   

a liability owed to the company or a related body corporate;

 

   

a liability for a pecuniary penalty order under section 1317G or a compensation order under sections 1317H, 1317HA or 1317HB of the Corporations Act; or

 

   

a liability that is owed to someone other than the company or a related body corporate and did not arise out of conduct in good faith.

Section 199A(2) of the Corporations Act does not apply to a liability for legal costs. By implication, indemnification (as opposed to exemption) which falls outside this provision could be permissible. Therefore, the company may not be prevented from indemnifying an officer against liability to outsiders of the company provided that the officer’s conduct does not involve a lack of good faith.

Section 199A(3) of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not indemnify a person (whether by agreement or by making a payment and whether directly or through an interposed entity) against legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability incurred as an officer of the company if the costs are incurred:

 

   

in defending or resisting proceedings in which the person is found to have a liability for which they could not be indemnified under section 199A(2) of the Corporations Act;

 

   

in defending or resisting criminal proceedings in which the person is found guilty;

 

   

in defending or resisting proceedings brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) (this includes proceedings under section 206C, 206D, 206E or 206EAA, section 232 (oppression), section 1317E, 1317G, 1317H, 1317HA or 1317HB or section 1324) or a liquidator for a court order if the grounds for making the order are found by the court to have been established (but this does not apply to costs incurred in responding to actions taken by ASIC or a liquidator as part of an investigation before commencing proceedings for the court order); or

 

   

in connection with proceedings for relief to the person under the Corporations Act in which the court denies the relief.

Section 199B

Section 199B of the Corporations Act provides that a company or a related body corporate must not pay, or agree to pay, whether directly or through any interposed entity a premium for a contract insuring a person who is or has been an officer of the company against a liability (other than one for legal costs) arising out of:

 

   

conduct involving a wilful breach of any duty in relation to the company; or

a contravention of section 182 or 183 of the Corporations Act, which deals with the officer’s duties under the Corporations Act not to improperly use their position or make improper use of information obtained as an officer.

Consequences For Contravention of Section 199A or 199B

Section 199C of the Corporations Act provides that sections 199A and 199B do not authorise anything that would otherwise be unlawful. Furthermore, anything that purports to indemnify or insure a person against a liability or exempt them from a liability will be void to the extent that it contravenes section 199A or 199B of the Corporations Act.

For the purpose of sections 199A and 199B of the Corporations Act, an “officer” of a company as defined in section 9 of the Corporations Act includes, but is not limited to:

 

   

a director or secretary;

 

   

a person who makes, or participates in making, decisions that affect the whole, or a substantial part, of the business of the company;

 

   

a person who has the capacity to affect significantly the company’s financial standing; or

 

   

a person in accordance with whose instructions or wishes the directors of the company are accustomed to act (excluding advice given by the person in the proper performance of functions attaching to the person‘s professional capacity or their business relationship with the directors or the corporation).

Constitution

Clause 94.1 of the constitution of the Australian Guarantor requires the Australian Guarantor to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the restrictions in section 199A of the Corporations Act, every person who is or has been an officer of the Australian Guarantor against:

 

   

any liability (other than a liability for legal costs); or

 

   

reasonable legal costs incurred in defending an action for a liability,

incurred by that person as an officer of the Australian Guarantor or subsidiary.

Pursuant to clause 94.2 of the constitution, the amount of any indemnity payable under clause 94.1 will include an additional amount (“GST Amount”) equal to any Australian Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) payable by the officer being indemnified (“Indemnified Officer”) in connection with the indemnity (less the amount of any input tax credit claimable by the Indemnified Officer in connection with the indemnity). Payment of any indemnity which includes a GST Amount is conditional upon the Indemnified Officer providing the Australian Guarantor with a GST tax invoice for the GST Amount.

For the purposes of clause 94 of the constitution, “officer” means a director of the Australian Guarantor or a secretary of the Australian Guarantor.

Brazilian Guarantor

Schrader International Brasil Ltda.

The Brazilian Guarantor is organized as a sociedade limitada, and is governed by articles 1052 through 1087 of Law 10406/02, as amended (the “Brazilian Civil Code”). Its corporate capital is held by Tomkins Automotive Company S.À.R.L. and Tomkins Investments Company S.À.R.L. (collectively, the “Partners”). A partners’ liability is limited to the subscribed and unpaid capital of the sociedade limitada.

In general, the liability of each partner of a sociedade limitada is limited to the value of the quotas held by such partner and when the company’s corporate capital has not been fully paid up, the liability of each partner is limited to the amount required to fully pay up its corporate capital. It is important to stress that all partners will be held jointly and severally liable for payment of the company’s capital. However, the Civil Code expressly establishes three exceptions to the rule on limitation of liability, namely:

 

  (i) personal and unlimited liability of the partner who takes part in a resolution on a transaction in which he/she has a conflict of interest with the company that is passed on account of the partner’s vote (article 1,010, paragraph 3, of the Civil Code);

 

  (ii) unlimited liability of all partners that approve any resolution in violation of or contrary to the provisions of the law or of the company’s articles of association (article 1,080 of the Civil Code); and

 

  (iii) liability of the partner acting as a senior officer.

In addition to the three exceptions expressly established in the Civil Code in connection with limitation of liability, there are other exceptions established in specific laws and those arising from well-established case laws, especially regarding tax, labor and social security debts, when partners of sociedades limitadas could be held jointly and severally liable for their payments.

Neither the Brazilian Civil Code, nor the Articles of Association (Contrato Social) of the Brazilian Guarantor include specific indemnification provisions with respect to the officers or partners of the Brazilian Guarantor.

German Law

Under German law a managing director of a German Guarantor shall be entitled to claim indemnification from a shareholder of a German Guarantor in the event that the managing director will be liable for a business-destroying intervention (existenzvernichtender Eingriff) jointly with the shareholder provided that the shareholder has instructed the managing director to the action or omission resulting into the business-destroying intervention.

Following the German legal principles regarding the “mandate and contract for the management of the affairs of another” and in particular sec. 670 of the German Civil Code (“BGB”), a German Guarantor will be obliged to make reimbursement of all expenses (Aufwendungen) incurred by a managing director for the purpose of performing a mandate on behalf of the respective German Guarantor that the managing director lawfully considered to be necessary in the circumstances.

 

II-30


Table of Contents

The managing directors may also be entitled to ask for indemnification by a German Guarantor pursuant to sect. 426 (1) BGB in case of joint liability with the German Guarantor vis-à-vis third parties, provided that the managing director has not violated any of his/her obligations towards the German Guarantor. The same principles apply in case of a joint and several liability of two or more managing directors among themselves. In case of a joint liability of a managing director and the respective German Guarantor vis-à-vis the German tax authorities for any tax payments, the managing director is entitled to ask for indemnification by the German Guarantor in respect to the primary tax obligation but excluding any fine for late payment. The right to ask for such indemnification does not exist, however, if and to the extent the managing director and the German Guarantor would be liable based on tort (sect. 823 to 853, 31 BGB).

Articles of Incorporation

The articles of incorporation of each of the German Guarantors do not contain indemnification provisions.

Luxembourg Law

Each of the Luxembourg Guarantors is incorporated as a private limited company (société à responsabilité limitée or “S.à r.l”) under the laws of Luxembourg. Managers of a Luxembourg S.à r.l. may be held personally liable as managers for their acts in such capacity in the following circumstances: (i) they can be held individually liable toward the company, but not to third parties, for mismanagement; (ii) they can be held jointly and severally liable toward the company and third parties from a breach of the provisions of the law of 10 August 1915 on commercial companies, as amended, or of the articles of association of the company (unless they did not participate in the breach and brought the facts to the knowledge of the shareholders immediately upon becoming aware of such facts); and (iii) they can be held liable, to any other person, for tort as to damages only which are distinct from a damage that would be suffered by the company.

A Luxembourg company may be held liable for criminal offenses where a criminal action has been committed in the name and for the benefit of such company, by one of its legal or de facto representatives. As Luxembourg provisions do not exclude accumulation of liabilities, such representatives may also have their criminal liability withheld.

Luxembourg law does not contain provisions regarding the indemnification of managers and officers. However, according to Luxembourg employment law, an employer may, under certain circumstances, be required to indemnify an employee against losses and expenses incurred by him in the execution of his duties under an employment agreement, unless the losses and expenses arise from the employee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Companies Act 2001

The Companies Act 2001 (the “Mauritius Companies Act”) generally prohibits a company from indemnifying or directly or indirectly effecting insurance for its directors or employees in relation to:

 

   

liability for any act/omission of the director or employee in his capacity as director or employee; or

 

   

costs incurred by that director or employee in defending or settling any claim or proceedings relating to any such liability.

Any such indemnity given is deemed void. However, directors or employees may, in the circumstances outlined in paragraphs below, be indemnified for breach of duty.

A company may indemnify a director or employee for any costs he may have incurred in proceedings that relate to liability for any act or omission in his capacity as director or employee. Provided that the indemnity is expressly authorised by the constitution of the company, the director or employee must have either obtained judgment in his favour, been acquitted, had proceedings which were initiated against him discontinued, been granted relief by the Court or, had, where proceedings were threatened, the threatened action abandoned or not pursued.

A company may indemnify a director or employee for any liability to a third party (i.e. a person other than the company itself or a related company) in the capacity of director or employee. Such indemnity must be expressly provided for in the constitution of the company. However, a director may not be indemnified against criminal liability or for any liability arising from breach of duty to act in good faith or in the best interests of the company.

The Act allows a company to effect insurance for its directors and employees, in respect of:

 

   

liability (other than criminal liability) for any act/omission in his capacity as a director or employee;

 

   

costs incurred by that director or employee in defending or settling any claim or proceeding relating to any such liability; or

 

   

costs incurred by that director or employee in defending any criminal proceedings, either that have been brought against the director or employee in relation to any act/omission of that director or employee in his capacity as director or employee, in which that person is either acquitted or a nolle prosequi is entered.

A company may provide insurance cover for a director or employee with prior approval of the Board and provided the constitution of the company contains such express authorisation for such grant of insurance cover.

The Board of the company is also under obligation to make all the necessary disclosures in respect of such indemnities or insurance in the directors’ interests register (if any), the minutes and the annual report. If a company covers a director or employee, and the provisions of the Act regarding insurance and the mandatory disclosures have not been complied with, the director or employee will be personally liable to the company for the cost of effecting the insurance, unless the director or employee proves that it was fair to the company at the time the insurance was effected.

Constitution

The provisions in constitution of the Mauritius Guarantor as regards the indemnification of directors / employees reflect the stipulations of the Mauritius Companies Act, outlined above.

Under Mexican law, when an officer or director of a Mexican corporation acts within the scope of his authority, the Mexican corporation shall be responsible for any resulting third party liabilities or expenses. However, please note that under certain specific circumstances pertaining to tax, and environmental irregularities of the Mexican corporation, its officers or directors may be personal and jointly liable with the Mexican corporation. This type of liability should be contractually covered by an indemnity given by the Mexican corporation in favor of the officers or directors.

Dutch BV Guarantor

Pinafore Holdings B.V.

Dutch Law

Under Dutch law the following applies with respect to the liability of members of the managing board and possible indemnification by a besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid (“BV”).

As a general rule, members of the managing board of a BV are not liable for obligations incurred by or on behalf of the company. Under certain circumstances, however, members of the managing board of a BV may be liable to the company for damages in the event of improper or negligent performance of their duties. They may be jointly and severally liable for damages to the company and to third parties for infringement of the articles of association or of certain provisions of the Dutch Civil Code. In certain circumstances, members of the managing board may also incur additional specific civil and criminal liabilities.

With respect to their liability with respect to a BV the following applies. As a general rule, each director of the managing board must properly perform the duties assigned to him or her. Failure of a director in his duties does not automatically lead to liability. Liability is only incurred in case of severe reproach. The liability of directors towards the company can be waived by a discharge (décharge). Discharge is generally granted by the general meeting of shareholders. Such discharge in principle only releases directors from liability for actions which have been disclosed at or to the general meeting of shareholders or which appear from the annual accounts. A discharge does not affect the liability of the directors towards third parties or their liability to any trustee in bankruptcy.

With respect to directors’ liability with respect to third parties, there are various statutory grounds pursuant to which a director of the managing board of a BV may be held liable, such as specific liability in bankruptcy, liability for tax debts, social security contributions and contributions to mandatory pension funds, liability based on tort, liability for misrepresentation in annual accounts and personal liability of directors under Dutch criminal law (including economic offenses).

Limited Partnership Agreement

The limited partnership agreement of the Dutch BV Guarantor does not include specific indemnification provisions with respect to its general partner.

Dutch CV Guarantor

Montisk Investments Netherlands C.V.

Under the laws of the Netherlands a commanditaire vennootschap (“CV”) is not a legal person (rechtspersoon), but a partnership established by an agreement between one or more general partners (beherend vennoten), whose liability is unlimited, and one or more limited partners (commanditaire vennoten), whose liability in principle is limited to the amount of their capital contributions. Please note, that the liability of a limited partner may become unlimited, if that limited partner becomes too involved in the management of the CV.

The capital and/or assets contributed by the partners to the CV belong, in principle, legally and/or economically, in joint ownership to the partners of the CV. A CV is however deemed to legally have a separate estate (afgescheiden vermogen). This means that in respect of the assets of the CV the creditors of the CV have priority over the other creditors of the general partners.

Limited Partnership Agreement

The limited partnership agreement of the Dutch CV Guarantor does not include specific indemnification provisions with respect to its general partner.

Northern Ireland Guarantor

Schrader Electronics Limited

Companies Act 2006

As a part of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland is subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, 2006 (the “CA 2006”). The relevant sections of the CA 2006 are sections 205 (defence costs loan), 232 and 234–235 (director indemnities), 236–238 (public disclosure) and 239 (ratification of conduct).

Restrictions in the CA 2006 apply to indemnities provided to directors of companies incorporated under the CA 2006 or any of its predecessors, namely companies incorporated in the UK. The CA 2006 does not restrict the scope of any indemnity that may be offered to:

 

  (i) employees and other individuals who are not directors of a UK company in a group of companies; or

 

  (ii) directors of non-UK companies.

All references to a company in this summary shall refer to a UK company.

Section 205 of the CA 2006 allows a company to lend money to a director to finance his legal and other costs involved in defending himself against any civil regulatory or criminal proceedings brought against him alleging breach of duty, breach of trust or negligence in relation to the company or any associated company.

The loan may also cover the cost of an application for relief from liability under s. 661(3) or (4) (Liability of others where nominee fails to make payment in respect of shares) or s. 1157 (Power to grant relief in certain circumstances) of the CA 2006. The funding must be by way of a loan because the CA 2006 requires that in some circumstances when the director is found to have acted in breach of duty, or where is convicted of a criminal offence, he must repay what the company has funded on his behalf.

The CA 2006 requires the funding arrangement to be such that, subject to two exceptions, the loan involved is repayable immediately in the event that the final outcome of the proceedings is that the director is not exonerated. There are two exceptions to the statutory requirement that the director must repay a company loan if he is not exonerated of wrongdoing, namely if the director is found guilty in a third party civil action (i.e. one not brought by or on behalf of the company or any of its UK-incorporated associated companies), and a regulatory proceeding against him. In these two instances, the company has discretion as to whether or not to indemnify a director for his defence costs and (if so) whether to do so via a loan or direct indemnity arrangement.

 

II-34


Table of Contents

In a case where the director is exonerated of wrongdoing, or is not otherwise required by the CA 2006 and the company to repay the loan, it may be written off by way of indemnity, unless the indemnity contract itself provides otherwise. The obligation to impose a contingent repayment obligation necessitates the loan arrangement being documented in a formal contract.

Qualifying third party indemnity provision (“QTPIP”)

Section 234 of the CA 2006 allows a company incorporated under the CA 2006, or any of its predecessors, to provide a director of the company or of any of its UK associated companies (i.e. other UK-incorporated companies in the same group) with an indemnity against certain liabilities via a QTPIP. Any broader indemnity to a director is rendered void by virtue of the CA 2006.

A QTPIP permits a company to indemnify a director against any liability that he may incur (in any capacity) in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he is a director or any associated company if, but only if, the liability arose out of third party civil proceedings. A QTPIP cannot provide the director with an indemnity in respect of a liability:

(i) owed to the company or any of its UK associated companies, as that would render the remedy obtained by the company in the breach of duty proceedings against the director valueless, and so would be contrary to public policy; or

(ii) imposed in criminal or regulatory proceedings by way of a fine or penalty for wrongdoing. In the case of FSA fines, this is supplemented by a specific regulatory prohibition under the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000.

Any indemnity provided in respect of liabilities mentioned in (i) or (ii) above is rendered void by s. 232(2) of the CA 2006.

Section 232(1) makes void any provision which purports to exempt a director from any liability that would otherwise attach to him in connection with his negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company.

Indemnification of directors of pension trustee companies

Section 235 of the CA 2006, a new provision, allows a company to provide a slightly wider form of indemnity (a so-called qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision) to directors of a UK-incorporated pension trustee company in the group than that described above. The additional protection that may be offered to a director of such a company is an indemnity that extends to the costs of an unsuccessful defence of civil and regulatory (but not criminal) proceedings against a pensions trustee company director.

Indemnification powers in articles of association of companies

As a decision to grant an indemnity contract to a director, and/or to lend him money to fund his defence, involves a fiduciary relationship between the company and the director(s) concerned, it is necessary for the board to be given the express power to do so within the company’s articles of association. The same applies to the purchase of D&O insurance for the company’s directors.

The powers given by this article shall not limit any general powers of the company to grant indemnities, purchase and maintain insurance or provide funds (whether by way of loan or otherwise) to any person in connection with any legal or regulatory proceedings or applications for relief.

The form of the indemnity contract

Any indemnity will need to be documented by contract, as will any defence costs loan arrangement. It has been held by the courts that directors cannot rely on an indemnification provision in the company’s articles of association, even where the article expresses the directors’ indemnity rights in mandatory form. That is because the articles constitute a contract between the company and its members, not between the company and its directors. A director’s right to be indemnified therefore derives from his contractual relationship with the company.

 

II-35


Table of Contents

Indemnity contracts can be effected by deed or by deed poll.

Disclosure requirements

Section 236 of the CA 2006 requires disclosure of the existence of QTPIPs and QPSIPs from which any director of a company benefits. That disclosure must be made in the directors’ report and must make reference to any qualifying indemnity which was in force at the date when the directors’ report was approved or during the financial year to which the directors’ report refers.

Where a company has given a qualifying indemnity for the benefit of a director of an associated company disclosure is required in the directors’ reports of both the company granting the indemnity and of the associated company involved.

In addition, under sections 237 and 238 of the CA 2006, the company is required to keep available for inspection a copy of every QTPIP and QPSIP in force whose existence it is required to disclose in its directors’ report (or a memorandum setting out its terms). The copy or memorandum must be made available at the company’s registered office or, if it is not kept at the registered office, at another location notified to the Registrar of Companies under s. 1136 of the CA 2006.

A failure to notify the Registrar of a different location at which the indemnity is available for inspection is an offence. Members of the company are entitled to inspect the qualifying indemnity or the memorandum setting out its terms without charge and (on payment of a prescribed fee) to be provided with a copy.

Ratification of director negligence

Section 239 of the CA 2006 allows a company to ratify a director’s or former director’s negligent conduct and his breach of duty. Ratification requires either a shareholder resolution or the unanimous consent of all the company’s members. The votes of the director and of persons connected with him are not to be counted in determining whether the requisite majority of votes has been obtained at a shareholder meeting.

AoA Provisions

Every director, auditor, secretary or other officer of the Northern Ireland Guarantor shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Northern Ireland Guarantor against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and/or discharge of his duties and/or the exercise of his powers and/or otherwise in relation to or in connection with his duties, powers or offices, including any liability incurred by him in defending any proceedings, civil or criminal, which relate to anything done or omitted or alleged to have been done or omitted by him as an officer or employee of the Northern Ireland Guarantor and which judgement is given in his favor (or the proceedings are otherwise disposed of without any finding or admission of any material breach of duty on his part) or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application under any statute for relief from liability in respect of any such act or omission in which relief is granted.

Russia Guarantor

Gates CIS LLC

Russian Law Provisions

Members of the board of directors of a Russian limited liability company may incur civil, administrative and/or criminal liabilities under Russian legislation for violations of legal norms or non-fulfilment of their duties. Such liabilities are personal in nature, i.e., liability is imposed on a person only if violations are committed due to his or her fault.

 

II-36


Table of Contents

The general provision concerning liability of directors is found in Article 53.3 of the Civil Code, which imposes on a director the requirement to act in good faith and reasonably in the interests of the company and, failing that, to compensate any damages inflicted upon the company. More specific guidance on this matter is given by Article 44 of the Federal Law dated February 8, 1998, as amended, No. 14-FZ “On the Limited Liability Companies” (the “Russian LLC Law”) whereby a director can be held liable for damages sustained by the company and caused by his/her culpable acts or failure to act.

When determining the existence or amount of a director’s liability for breaches of his duty, the Russian LLC Law requires that at least two factors be taken into account. First, a director is not liable for losses caused by actions (or inaction) causing damages to the company if he voted against the relevant decision or did not take part in the voting. Second, the Russian LLC Law provides that “customs of commercial activity and other circumstances relating to the specific case” must be taken into account in determining the liability of directors.

The scope of a director’s civil liability is not limited to direct damages but potentially also includes lost profits in accordance with Article 15 of the Civil Code.

A court action to compensate losses caused to the company by culpable actions or inaction by a manager or director of the company may be initiated by the company or its participant(s).

Turkish Guarantors

Gates Güç Aktarim Sistemleri Dağitim Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi

Gates Powertrain Plastik Metal ve Makina Sanayii ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi

Collectively, the above-noted entities are the “Turkish Guarantors.” The liabilities of, and indemnification to, the managers of the Turkish Guarantors, can be determined as per (i) the principles set forth under Turkish law with respect to liability of the managers in a limited liability partnership (a “Turkish LLP”); and (ii) the principles set forth under the articles of association (the “Turkish AoA”) of each Turkish Guarantor.

Turkish Law Provisions

The relevant provisions are set forth under the (i) Turkish Commercial Code (“TCC”), and (ii) certain other legislation.

 

  (i) Provisions under the TCC:

According to the TCC, a Turkish LLP does not have a board of directors. Under the TCC, a person who performs a general managerial role, carrying out the business and activities of and representing and binding a Turkish LLP is defined under the TCC as the “principal” (“müdür”) of the company.

Under the TCC, as a general principle, a Turkish LLP principal would not be held personally liable for the acts and the contracts he/she has performed on behalf of the Turkish LLP.

However, a principal, negligently or fraudulently, failing to perform his/her duties vested in him/her by the TCC or by other applicable pieces of legislation or the articles of association, will be held liable against the company, the partners and the creditors of the company. The partners and the creditors of the Turkish LLP may file a lawsuit against the principals for the compensation of either their (a) indirect damages (such as damages decreasing the value of the Turkish LLP’s assets) or (b) direct damages (damages incurred irrespective of any damages to the company itself).

The TCC further sets forth the following reasons for invoking the liability of a principal: (i) incorrect payments made by the partners in respect of their capital contributions, (ii) distribution and payment of dividends, irrespective of the actual situation-not reflected in the balance sheet, (iii) corporate books and records’, which are required to be maintained as per the applicable laws, not being present or not being properly kept; (iv) non-implementation of partners’ assembly meetings without any valid causes); (v) non-compliance with the applicable

 

II-37


Table of Contents

law in the increase of share capital; (vi) initiation of lawsuits against the decisions of the general assembly of partners in bad faith; and (vii) not investigating the corrupt acts in the formation phase of the Turkish LLP, (please note that criminal liability of a principal may also be invoked if this would be the case).

 

  (ii) Provisions under other legislation:

Tax Legislation: In the event that a Turkish LLP fails to pay its taxes, the principal of such Turkish LLP may be held personally liable and ordered to pay the taxes in addition to default payments and penalties.

Social Insurance Legislation: Pursuant to the Law on Social Insurance and General Health Insurance, the principal of a Turkish LLP may be held jointly and severally liable with the company for the overdue premium debts (together with the monetary penalties and accrued interest), deducted from the employees’ wages to the Social Security Institution.

Employment Legislation: Under Turkish Employment Law, a person, who acts on behalf of the employer and participates in the administration of a company, is deemed to be the “employer’s agent”, and may be subject to certain monetary penalties. The principal of a Turkish LLP may be considered as the employer’s agent and such monetary penalties may be imposed on the principal as well.

Environmental Legislation: Under the Environmental Law, a person who directly or indirectly pollutes the environment will be held responsible. However, if such act of pollution constitutes a crime under the Turkish Criminal Code, the relevant Public Prosecutor may at its sole discretion include the officers of a company (e.g. the principal of a Turkish LLP) within the scope of criminal prosecution process.

Criminal Law: As per the general principle under Turkish criminal law regarding the individuality of criminal liability (ceza sorumluluğunun şahsiliği kurali), the main principle is prosecution of and application of criminal sanctions and penalties to individuals, and concept of “enterprise liability” is rejected in principle. Accordingly, if the relevant public prosecutor determines that a criminal offense has been committed by an action of a legal entity, it may be possible that the officers of such entity (e.g. the principal of a Turkish LLP) may be included within the scope of the criminal prosecution process.

AoA Provisions

The AoAs of the Turkish Guarantors do not include specific indemnification provisions with respect to the managers of the Turkish Guarantors.

United Arab Emirates (“UAE”) Guarantors

Gates Engineering & Services FZCO

Gates Engineering & Services Hamriyah FZE

UAE Law Provisions

Federal Law No. 8 of 1984 Concerning Commercial Companies, as amended from time to time (“UAE Companies Law”) applies to all corporate entities incorporated in the UAE, except that the UAE Companies Law does not apply to companies incorporated in UAE free zones to the extent that the subject matter of the UAE Companies Law is addressed in the implementing regulations of the relevant free zone.

Gates Engineering & Services Hamriyah FZE is subject to the Hamriyah Free Zone Implementing Rules and Regulations Concerning the Establishment of Free Zone Establishments at HFZ issued pursuant to Sharjah Emiri Decree No. 6 of 1995 (“HFZ Implementing Regulations”). Gates Engineering & Services FZCO is subject to Implementing Regulations No. 1/99 issued by the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority pursuant to Law No. 2 of 1986 Concerning the Formation of Legal Establishments at JAFZ (“JAFZ Implementing Regulations”, and together with the HFZ Implementing Regulations, the “Implementing Regulations”).

As neither Gates Engineering & Services Hamriyah FZE nor Gates Engineering & Services FZCO have a memorandum or articles of association, the relevant Implementing Regulations set out the principal corporate governance requirements and the UAE Companies Law will apply in respect of any corporate matters not addressed in the relevant Implementing Regulations.

The Implementing Regulations do not address the liability or potential liability of directors and officers nor do they address the indemnification or possible indemnification of directors and officers of companies incorporated in the relevant free zone.

Article 115 of the UAE Companies Law provides that any resolution adopted by the general assembly of a Company approving the release of the board of directors from liability shall not be effective in respect of faults and mistakes made by the directors in the performance of their functions. Pursuant to Article 115, in the event that the general assembly ratifies a specific act carried out by the board on behalf of the Company, the shareholders will only have a period of one year from the date of the ratification to make a claim against the directors for any liability incurred in respect of the relevant act. However, the UAE Companies Law is silent with regard to a company’s ability to indemnify its directors and officers from liability arising from carrying out their duties.

Undertakings

Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1993;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4) to file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A.4 of Form 20–F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering;

(5) to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of a registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each of the registrants has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by a registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, each of the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Pagina 3


Article 10. Reduction of capital.

 

1. The General Meeting may, subject to the relevant provisions of the law, resolve to reduce the issued capital.

 

2. Reduction of capital may also be effected with respect to either the ordinary shares A or the ordinary shares B, provided that the class of shares with respect to which reduction of capital shall be effected, is identified by the General Meeting, by resolution adopted by unanimous vote in a meeting at which the entire issued capital is represented.

At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the adjournment is for more than thirty days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat.

Section 4. Voting. When a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the DGCL, or the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a different vote is required in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question. Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting entitled to vote on the election of directors

Section 5. Proxies. At each meeting of the stockholders, each stockholder having the right to vote may vote in person or may authorize another person or persons to act for him/her by proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such stockholder and

bearing a date not more than three years prior to said meeting, unless said instrument provides for a longer period. All proxies must be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation at the beginning of each meeting in order to be counted in any vote at the meeting.

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which notice shall state the date and hour, the place (if any) and the means of remote communications (if any) of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting, (i) at the Corporation’s discretion, on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the Corporation’s principal place of business. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present.

The directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election of directors and until their successors are duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner replaced by a vote of the stockholders.

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office.

If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. If only one director is authorized, such sole director shall constitute a quorum. At any meeting, a director shall have the right to be accompanied by counsel provided that such counsel shall agree to any confidentiality restrictions reasonably imposed by the Corporation.

Section 8. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are

The Board may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he/she or they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (x) approve, adopt or recommend to the stockholders of the Corporation any action or matter (other than the election or removal of

Each Member shall execute, deliver and file, or cause the execution, delivery and filing of, any certificates (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to qualify to do business in any other jurisdiction in which the Company may wish to conduct business.


2. Members. Each Member is hereby admitted as a member of the Company upon its execution and delivery of this Agreement. The percentage of Membership Interests held by each Member is set forth on Schedule A hereto.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company have, or take any actions to create, a board of managers or similar governing arrangement(s).

8. Designation of Officers.

(a) The Majority Member may, from time to time, designate officers of the Company and delegate to such officers such authority and duties as such Majority Member may deem advisable (the “Officers”) and may assign titles (including, without limitation, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, president, vice-president, secretary and/or treasurer) to any such Officer. Unless the Majority Member otherwise determines, if the title assigned to an Officer of the Company is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, then the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties that are customarily associated with such office. Any number of titles may be held by the same Officer. Any Officer to whom a delegation is made (including any delegation contained in an employment agreement, subject to the limitations contained therein) shall serve in the capacity and have such powers as delegated unless and until such delegation is revoked by the Majority Member in whole or in part for any reason or no reason whatsoever, with or without cause, or such Officer resigns. The current Officers of the Company are set forth on Schedule B hereto.


(b) In addition to such other duties as may be delegated to any Officer of the Company, the President of the Company shall be the most senior officer of the Company and shall, subject to the control of the Majority Member, have general supervision, direction and control of the business and officers of the Company.

9. Reimbursement; Compensation. Each Officer shall be reimbursed for any actual costs reasonably incurred in connection with such Officer’s service as an officer of the Company.

10. Limitation of Liability; Indemnification; Duties.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, none of (i) the Members (each in its capacity as a Member), (ii) the affiliates, agents, officers, partners, employees, representatives, directors, members or shareholders of any Member or the Company and (iii) each former officer, director, employee, or member (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) acting in accordance with this Agreement shall be liable, responsible, or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or the Members thereof for doing any act or failing to do any act, whether before, on or after the date hereof, the effect of which may cause or result in loss or damage to the Company or a Member if: (A) the act or failure to act of such Indemnitee was in good faith, in a manner it reasonably believed to be within the scope of such Indemnitee’s authority and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interest of the Company; and (B) the conduct of such Person did not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or a material breach of this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee to the greatest extent permitted by law against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, and all costs of investigation in connection therewith, as a result of any claim, threatened action or legal proceeding by any person (including, without limitation, by or through the Company, any subsidiary and/or a Member), or otherwise imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnitee, relating to the performance or nonperformance of any act concerning the activities of the Company or a subsidiary, whether before, on or after the date hereof, if: (i) the act or failure to act of such Indemnitee was in good faith, within the scope of such Indemnitee’s authority and in a manner it reasonably believed to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interest of the Company or such subsidiary; and (ii) the conduct of such Indemnitee did not constitute fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or a material breach of a material provision of this Agreement. The indemnification authorized by this subsection (b) shall include any judgment, award, settlement, the payment of reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expense (not limited to taxable costs) incurred in settling or defending any claims, threatened action or finally adjudicated legal proceeding.

(c) From time to time, as requested by an Indemnitee hereunder, such attorneys’ fees and other expenses shall, unless the Majority Member determines that the Indemnitee has failed to meet the standards set forth in subsection (b) (taking into account, among other things, the availability of security for any repayment obligation on the part of the Indemnitee), be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claims, actions or proceedings upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking, reasonably acceptable to the


Majority Member, by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it shall be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized hereunder.

(d) Any indemnification by the Company provided hereunder shall be satisfied solely out of assets of the Company as an expense of the Company (and the proceeds of any directors and officers insurance).

(e) The provisions of this Section 10 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their estate and heirs and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other person.

(f) The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Any termination or amendment of this Section 10 shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Indemnitee in respect of any act or omission prior to the time of such termination or amendment.

11. Capital Contributions. Each Member will make capital contributions to the Company, pro rata in accordance with the Members’ relative Percentage Interests, of certain property specified on Schedule C on or around September 29, 2010 and will make such other capital contributions in cash or other property at such times, in such amounts and for such purposes as the Members shall agree from time to time.

12. Distributions.

(a) Distributions will be made to the Members at the times and in the aggregate amounts, net of any reserves of the Company, determined in the Majority Member’s sole and absolute discretion. Any amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 12(a) will be made pro rata in accordance with the Member’s relative Percentage Interests as set forth on Schedule B hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contrary contained herein, the Company will not make a distribution to any Member on the account of the interest of such Member in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act, and any Member receiving a distribution in violation of such provision will promptly return such distribution.

13. Capital Accounts. A Capital Account (“Capital Account”) will be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Treasury Regulations” or the “Regulations”), including Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Majority Member may in its discretion increase or decrease the Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect a revaluation of property of the Company on the Company’s books and records, but only in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) and (f). Following any such revaluation pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Members’ Capital Accounts will be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss computed for book purposes with respect to such property.


14. Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses.

(a) Net Profits and Net Losses (each as hereinafter defined) will be determined and allocated with respect to each fiscal year of the Company as of the end of such fiscal year and at such times as the Company property is revaluated in accordance with Section 13. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 14, an allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profits or Net Losses will be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Profits and Net Losses, and to the extent necessary, individuals items of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company will be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the provisions of Sections 13 and 17 and the other relevant provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 13(a), the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:

 

  (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 14(b)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (ii) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain attributable to such Company Nonrecourse Debt, determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This Section 14(b)(ii) is intended to comply with the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (iii)

Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution of the type contemplated by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of income and gain shall be allocated to all such Members (in proportion to the amounts of their respective deficit Adjusted Capital Accounts) in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in the Adjusted Capital Account of such Member as quickly as possible. It is


 

intended that this Section 13(b)(iii) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

 

  (iv) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. If the allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) to a Member as provided in Section 13(a) hereof would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit. The Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 14(b)(iv).

 

  (v) Certain Additional Adjustments. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its Interest, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests in the Company in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

 

  (vi) Nonrecourse Deductions. The Nonrecourse Deductions for each taxable year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective capital contributions with respect to the Company investment giving rise to such Nonrecourse Deductions.

 

  (vii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. The Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-2) for the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable.

 

  (viii)

Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 14(b)(i) through (vii) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2(i). Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13(a), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent


 

possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

(c) Tax Allocations.

 

  (i) Except as provided in Section 14(c)(ii) hereof, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated between the Members as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is allocated pursuant to this Section 14.

 

  (ii) Tax items with respect to Company assets that are contributed to the Company with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated between the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Company shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Majority Member. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Gross Asset Value” herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Majority Member. Allocations pursuant to this Section 14(c)(ii) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses and any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(d) Other Tax Provisions.

 

  (i) For any fiscal year or other period during which any part of an Interest is transferred between the Members or to another person, the portion of the Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit that are allocable with respect to such part of such Interest shall be apportioned between the transferor and the transferee under any method allowed pursuant to Section 706 of the Code and the applicable Regulations as determined by the Majority Member.

 

  (ii)

In the event that the Code or any Regulations require allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit different from those set forth in


 

this Section 14, the Majority Member is hereby authorized to make new allocations in reliance on the Code and such Regulations, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Member.

 

  (iii) For purposes of determining a Member’s proportional share of the Company’s “excess nonrecourse liabilities” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Net Profits shall be equal to such Member’s share of Company distributions under Section 13 with respect to the investment for which the relevant excess nonrecourse liability is attributable.

(e) Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms are defined as follows:

Adjusted Capital Account” means, with respect to any Member, the balance in such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) Add to such Capital Account the following items:

(B) The amount that such Member is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) Subtract from such Capital Account such Member’s share of the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

Depreciation” means, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable for federal income tax purposes with respect to an asset for such fiscal year or other period, except that if the Gross Asset Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such fiscal year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Gross Asset Value using any reasonable method selected by the Majority Member.

(E) at such other times as the Majority Member shall reasonably determine necessary or advisable in order to comply with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.

 

  (iii) The Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to a Member shall be the gross fair market value of such asset on the date of distribution as determined by the Majority Member.

Member Minimum Gain” means an amount, with respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Company Minimum Gain that would result if such Member Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) with respect to “partner minimum gain.”

If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness if such Hedging Obligation has a remaining term in

The Issuers shall require each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that a Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money held by a Paying Agent for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Issuers in making any such payment. If Holdings or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of Holdings acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money held by it as Paying Agent and hold it in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto. The Issuers at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed by such Paying Agent.

Upon complying with this Section 2.05, a Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money delivered to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.06. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders.

The Securities shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Security for registration of transfer and in compliance with the Appendix. When a Security is presented to the Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if its requirements therefor are met. When Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Issuers shall execute and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar’s request. The Issuers may require payment of a sum sufficient to pay all taxes, assessments or other governmental charges in

 

-42-

The Issuers shall not be required to make, and the Registrar need not register, transfers or exchanges of Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of Securities to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed) or of any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed or tendered and not withdrawn in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer.

Prior to the due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security, the Issuers, the Note Guarantors, the Trustee, each Paying Agent and the Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the Issuers, any Note Guarantor, the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such beneficial interest, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by (a) the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent) or (b) any Holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, and that ownership of a beneficial interest in such Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.

SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. If a mutilated Security is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Issuers shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met, such that the Holder (a) satisfies the Issuers or the Trustee within a reasonable time after such Holder has notice of such loss, destruction or wrongful taking and the Registrar does not register a transfer prior to receiving such notification, (b) makes such request to the Issuers or the Trustee prior to the Security being acquired by a protected purchaser as defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code (a “protected purchaser”) and (c) satisfies any other reasonable requirements of the Trustee. If required by the Trustee or the Issuers, such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of (i) the Trustee to protect the Trustee or (ii) the Issuers, to protect the Issuers, the Trustee, a Paying Agent and the Registrar, from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Issuers and the Trustee may charge the Holder for their expenses in replacing a Security (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements in replacing such Security). In the event any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuers in their discretion may pay such Security instead of issuing a new Security in replacement thereof.

Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuers.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities.

SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.09 as not outstanding. Subject to Section 12.06, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuers or an Affiliate of the Issuers holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 (other than a mutilated Security surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee and the Issuers receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Security ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Security and replacement thereof pursuant to Section 2.08.

If a Paying Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, and no Paying Agent is prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, then on and after that date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. In the event that Definitive Securities are to be issued under the terms of this Indenture, until such Definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuers may prepare and the Trustee upon receipt of an Authentication Order shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuers consider appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuers shall prepare and upon receipt of an Authentication Order the Trustee shall authenticate Definitive Securities and make them available for delivery in exchange for temporary Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Issuers, without charge to the Holder. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as Definitive Securities.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Issuers at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and each Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its customary procedures or deliver copies of canceled Securities to the Issuers pursuant to written direction by an Officer of any one of the Issuers. The Issuers may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. The Trustee shall not authenticate Securities in place of canceled Securities other than pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Issuers default in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Issuers shall pay the defaulted interest then borne by the Securities (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful), in any lawful manner. The Issuers may pay the defaulted

 

-44-


interest to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. The Issuers shall fix or cause to be fixed any such special record date and payment date and shall promptly mail or cause to be mailed to each affected Holder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers, ISINs, etc. The Issuer in issuing the Securities may use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers, either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities and that any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers; provided, further, that if any Additional Securities or Exchange Securities are not fungible with the Original Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Securities or Exchange Securities will have a separate CUSIP number. The Issuer shall advise the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers, ISINs and “Common Code” numbers.

SECTION 2.14. Calculation of Specified Percentage of Securities. With respect to any matter requiring consent, waiver, approval or other action of the Holders of a specified percentage of the principal amount of all the Securities, such percentage shall be calculated, on the relevant date of determination, by dividing (a) the principal amount, as of such date of determination, of Securities, the Holders of which have so consented by (b) the aggregate principal amount, as of such date of determination, of the Securities then outstanding, in each case, as determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, Section 2.09 and Section 12.06 of this Indenture. Any such calculation made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be made by the Issuers and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate.

SECTION 2.15. No Listing of the Securities. The Securities shall not be quoted, listed or dealt in or on any exchange or over-the-counter market (including the PORTAL Market).

(v) any combination of the foregoing.

provided that Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be deemed to have complied with the provisions described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph if and to the extent that, within 365 days after the Asset Sale that generated the Net Cash Proceeds, the Issuers have entered into and not abandoned or rejected a binding agreement to acquire the assets or Capital Stock of a Similar Business, make an Investment in Replacement Assets or make a capital expenditure in compliance with the provision described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph, and that acquisition, purchase or capital expenditure is thereafter completed within 180 days after the end of such 365-day period.

Indebtedness by the Holders thereof because of a default, in each case, if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent,

(f) Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings 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 any substantial part of its property; or

(iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or takes any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency,

(g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(i) is for relief against Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings in an involuntary case;

(ii) appoints a Custodian of Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings or for any substantial part of its property; or

(iii) orders the winding up or liquidation of Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings;

or any similar relief is granted under any foreign laws and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days,

(h) Holdings or any Significant Subsidiary of Holdings fails to pay final and non-appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $50.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent (net of any amounts which are covered by enforceable insurance policies issued by solvent carriers), which judgments are not discharged, waived or stayed for a period of 60 days following the entry thereof and, in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed, or

(i) the Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary of Holdings ceases to be in full force and effect in any material respect (except as contemplated by the terms thereof) or any such Note Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or any Note Guarantee and such Default continues for 21 days after notice of such Default shall have been given to the Trustee,

 

-79-


(j) unless all of the Collateral has been released in accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Documents from the Liens granted thereunder, an Issuer shall assert or any Note Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that any such security interest is invalid or unenforceable and, in the case of any such Person that is a Subsidiary of Holdings, Holdings fails to cause such Subsidiary to rescind such assertions within 30 days after Holdings has actual knowledge of such assertions, or

(k) the failure by an Issuer or any Note Guarantor to comply for 60 days after written notice with its other agreements contained in the Collateral Documents except for a failure that would not be material to the Holders of the Securities and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

The foregoing shall constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A Default under clause (c), (d) or (k) above shall not constitute an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Issuers in writing or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities notify the Issuers and the Trustee in writing of the Default and the Issuers do not cure such Default within the time specified in clauses (c), (d) or (k) above, as applicable, after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” The Issuers shall deliver to the Trustee, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence thereof, written notice of any event which is, or with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or propose to take with respect thereto.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Issuers) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by written notice to the Issuers or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities by written notice to the Issuers and the Trustee, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of acceleration.

 

-80-


No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

In the event of any Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(e), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding, however, any resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that (x) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged or (y) the Holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default or (z) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured, it being understood that in no event shall an acceleration of the principal amount of the Securities as described above be annulled, waived or rescinded upon the happening of any such events.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities 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 to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Provided the Securities are not then due and payable by reason of a declaration of acceleration, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except (a) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security or (b) a Default or Event of Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. When a Default is waived, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

 

-81-


SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits.

(a) Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

(ii) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request during such 60-day period.

(b) A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of the Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuers or any other obligor on the Securities for the whole amount then due and owing (together with interest on overdue principal and (to the extent lawful) on any unpaid interest at the rate provided for in the Securities) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.

SECTION 6.09. 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 reasonable compensation, expenses disbursements and advances of the Trustee (including counsel, accountants, experts or such other professionals as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary, advisable or appropriate)) and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuers or any Note Guarantor, their creditors

 

-82-


or their property, shall be entitled to participate as a member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in such matters and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities 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 proceeding.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreements and Collateral Documents, if the Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07 and the Collateral Agent due under Section 10.02;

SECOND: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Issuers or, to the extent the Trustee collects any amount for any Note Guarantor, to such Note Guarantor.

The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Issuers and the Note Guarantors, may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall send to each Holder and the Issuers a notice that states the record date, the payment date and amount to be paid.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this 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 and expenses, 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. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.

SECTION 6.12. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. Neither the Issuers nor any Note Guarantor (to the extent it may lawfully do so) shall at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law

 

-83-


wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuers and each Note Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE AND COLLATERAL AGENT

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

However, in the case of certificates or opinions required by any provision hereof to be provided to it, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the form requirements of this Indenture.

Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

(c) The Trustee and Collateral Agent may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(e) The Trustee and Collateral Agent each may consult with counsel of its own selection and the advice or opinion of counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

(f) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, debenture, note or other paper or

document unless requested in writing to do so by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, but the Trustee and Collateral Agent, in its discretion, may each make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Issuers, personally or by agent or attorney, at the expense of the Issuers and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(g) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee and Collateral Agent, including its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Trustee and Collateral Agent in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(i) In the event the Issuers are required to pay Additional Interest, the Issuers will provide written notice to the Trustee of the Issuers’ obligation to pay Additional Interest no later than 15 days prior to the next interest payment date, which notice shall set forth the amount of the Additional Interest to be paid by the Issuers. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holders to determine whether the Additional Interest is payable and the amount thereof.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee and Collateral Agent. The Trustee and Collateral Agent each in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee or Collateral Agent. Any Paying Agent or Registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee and Collateral Agent must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s Disclaimer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, any Note Guarantee or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Issuers’ use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement of the Issuers or any Note Guarantor in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of

 

-86-


Default under Sections 6.01(c), (d), (e), (f), (i), (j) or (k) or of the identity of any Significant Subsidiary unless either (a) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge thereof or (b) the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall have received written notice thereof in accordance with Section 12.02 from the Issuers, any Note Guarantor or any Holder.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if a Trust Officer has actual knowledge thereof, the Trustee shall mail by first class mail to each Holder at the address set forth in the Notes Register notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it is actually known to a Trust Officer. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium (if any), interest or Additional Interest (if any) on any Note (including payments pursuant to the optional redemption or required repurchase provisions of such Note), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to the Holders. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, as promptly as practicable after each August 30 beginning with the August 30 following the date of this Indenture, and in any event within 12 months of the last such report, the Trustee shall send to each Holder a brief report dated as of such August 30 that complies with Section 313(a) of the TIA if and to the extent required thereby. From the date on which this Indenture is qualified under the TIA, the Trustee shall also comply with Section 313(b)(2) of the TIA.

A copy of each report at the time of its delivery to the Holders shall be filed with the SEC and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed. The Issuers agree to notify promptly the Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any delisting thereof.

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Issuers shall pay to the Trustee and Collateral Agent from time to time compensation for their services as agreed to in writing. The Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuers shall reimburse the Trustee and Collateral Agent upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s and Collateral Agent’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Issuers and each Note Guarantor, jointly and severally shall indemnify the Trustee and Collateral Agent against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture or Note Guarantee against the Issuers or a Note Guarantor (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Issuers, any Note Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person). The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall each notify the Issuers of any claim for which it may seek indemnity promptly upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof; provided, however, that any failure so to notify the Issuers shall not relieve the Issuers or any Note Guarantor of its indemnity obligations hereunder. The Issuers shall defend the claim

 

-87-


and the indemnified party shall provide reasonable cooperation at the Issuers’ expense in the defense. Such indemnified parties may have separate counsel and the Issuers and the Note Guarantors, as applicable shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided, however, that the Issuers shall not be required to pay such fees and expenses if it assumes such indemnified parties’ defense and, in such indemnified parties’ reasonable judgment, there is no conflict of interest between the Issuers and the Note Guarantors, as applicable, and such parties in connection with such defense. The Issuers need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by an indemnified party through such party’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Issuers’ and the Note Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee and Collateral Agent shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee and Collateral Agent other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Securities.

The Issuers’ and the Note Guarantors’ payment obligations pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction or discharge of this Indenture, any rejection or termination of this Indenture under any bankruptcy law or the resignation or removal of the Trustee or Collateral Agent. Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee or Collateral Agent under applicable law, when the Trustee or Collateral Agent incurs expenses after the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(g) or (h) with respect to the Issuers, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.

SECTION 7.08. Replacement of Trustee and Collateral Agent.

(a) The Trustee and Collateral Agent may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuers. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities may remove the Trustee or Collateral Agent by so notifying the Trustee or Collateral Agent and may appoint a successor Trustee or Collateral Agent. The Issuers may remove the Trustee or Collateral Agent if:

(i) the Trustee or Collateral Agent fails to comply with Section 7.10;

(ii) the Trustee or Collateral Agent is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

(iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or Collateral Agent or their respective property; or

(iv) the Trustee or Collateral Agent otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee or Collateral Agent has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the TIA, the Trustee or Collateral Agent shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and this Indenture.

(b) If the Trustee or Collateral Agent resigns, is removed by the Issuers or by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities and such Holders do not

 

-88-


reasonably promptly appoint a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee or Collateral Agent for any reason (the Trustee or Collateral Agent in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent), the Issuers shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent.

(c) A successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent and to the Issuers. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent shall become effective, and the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee or Collateral Agent under this Indenture. The successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent shall mail a notice of its succession to the Holders. The retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee or Collateral Agent to the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07.

(d) If a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent or the Holders of 10% in principal amount of the Securities may petition at the expense of the Issuers any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent.

(e) If the Trustee or Collateral Agent fails to comply with Section 7.10, unless the Trustee’s or Collateral Agent’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in Section 310(b) of the TIA, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee or Collateral Agent and the appointment of a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent.

(f) Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee or Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section, the Issuers’ obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee or retiring Collateral Agent.

SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee and Successor Collateral Agent by Merger. If the Trustee or Collateral Agent consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent.

In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have.

 

-89-


SECTION 7.10. Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of the TIA. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. The Trustee and Collateral Agent shall comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA, subject to its right to apply for a stay of its duty to resign under the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the TIA; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA any series of securities issued under this Indenture and any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Issuers are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in Section 310(b)(1) of the TIA are met.

SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuers. The Trustee or Collateral Agent shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA, excluding any creditor relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the TIA. A Trustee or Collateral Agent who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the TIA to the extent indicated.

ARTICLE 8

(vii) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred; and

Subject to any applicable abandoned property law, the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall pay to the Issuers upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest that remains unclaimed for two years, and, thereafter, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Issuers for payment as general creditors, and the Trustee and each Paying Agent shall have no further liability with respect to such monies.

Subject to Section 11.02(c), on or prior to the Post-Closing Collateral Date, each Restricted Subsidiary of Holdings existing as of the Issue Date that is or becomes a guarantor under the Credit Agreement other than any entity that would trigger a Rule 3-10 Limitation as reasonably determined by Holdings, shall become a Guarantor and signatory to the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the joinder agreement (attached as an exhibit thereto with appropriate changes to the extent contemplated by Section 11.02(c)) and a party to the Registration Rights Agreement, the applicable Collateral Documents and the Indenture, subject to exceptions and limitations otherwise set forth in the Indenture and the Collateral Documents (to the extent appropriate in the applicable jurisdiction) or satisfactory to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent and shall have taken all actions to perfect (or the equivalent in the applicable jurisdiction) the Liens in the Collateral created by the Collateral Documents to which it is a party, other than any actions that are not required by such Collateral Documents or by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent.

(ii) in the case of any such Mortgaged Property located in the United States or to the extent customary as determined by the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent, if any, or the Issuers in the jurisdiction of where such Mortgaged Property is located, fully paid policies of title insurance (or marked-up title insurance commitments having the effect of policies of title insurance) on the Mortgaged Property naming the Collateral Agent as the insured for its benefit and the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities (the “Mortgage Policies”) issued by a nationally recognized title insurance company in a customary amount (not to exceed 100% of the fair market value of the real properties covered thereby), insuring the Mortgages to be valid subsisting second-priority Liens on the property described therein, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens, each of which shall (A) to the extent reasonably necessary, include such reinsurance arrangements (with provisions for direct access, if reasonably necessary), (B) contain a “tie-in”

SECTION 10.09. Parallel Debt.

(a) Without prejudice to the provisions of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents and for the purpose of preserving the initial and continuing validity of the security rights granted and to be granted by each Issuer and each Note Guarantor to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), an amount equal to and in the same currency of the obligations under the Securities and the Note Guarantees from time to time due by the Issuers or such Note Guarantor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Securities and Note Guarantees, including for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set out under Section 10.04, shall be owing as separate and independent obligations of each Issuer and each Note Guarantor to each of (i) the Collateral Agent (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof, the “Collateral Agent Parallel Debt”) and (ii) any sub-agent of the Collateral Agent (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof, the “Sub-Agent Parallel Debt” and, together with the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt, the “Parallel Debt”). Solely for the purposes of the Collateral Documents governed by Russian law, the Collateral Agent acts as a joint and several creditor with each Secured Party.

(b) Each Issuer, each Note Guarantor and the Collateral Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) acknowledge that (i) for this purpose the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, obligations and liabilities of the Issuers and each Note Guarantor to the Collateral Agent under this Indenture and the Collateral Documents which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding obligations under the Securities and Note Guarantees which each Issuer or such Note Guarantor has to the Holders or any obligations with respect to the Sub-Agent Parallel Debt; (ii) for this purpose the Sub-Agent Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, obligations and liabilities of each Issuer and each Note Guarantor to each sub-agent, if any, of the Collateral Agent under the Securities and Note Guarantees which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding obligations under the Securities and Note Guarantees which each Issuer or such Note Guarantor has to the Holders or any obligations with respect to the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt; (iii) that the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Agent’s own claims to receive payment of the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt; and (iv) that the Sub-Agent Parallel Debt represents the applicable sub-agents’ own claims to receive payment of the Sub-Agent Parallel Debt; provided that the total amount which may become due under each of the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt or Sub-Agent Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under the Securities and Note Guarantees; provided, further, that the Collateral Agent or any sub-agent thereof shall exercise its rights with respect to the applicable Parallel Debt solely in accordance with this Indenture and the Collateral Documents (including the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement).

(c) Every payment of monies made by an Issuer or a Note Guarantor to the Collateral Agent or any sub-agent thereof shall (conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to

 

-105-


bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application) be in satisfaction pro tanto of the covenant by the Issuers or such Note Guarantor contained in Section 10.09(a); provided that if any such payment as is mentioned above is subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, liquidation or similar laws of general application the Collateral Agent and any sub-agent thereof shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Issuers or such Note Guarantor and the Issuers or such Note Guarantor shall remain liable to perform the relevant obligation and the relevant liability shall be deemed not to have been discharged.

(d) Subject to the provision in paragraph (c) of this Section 10.09, but notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this paragraph (d):

(i) the total amount due and payable as Collateral Agent Parallel Debt and Sub-Agent Parallel Debt under this Section 10.09 shall each be decreased to the extent that an Issuer or a Note Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or any of them to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Securities or the Collateral Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders otherwise receives any amount in payment of the Securities and the Note Guarantees; and

(ii) to the extent that (x) an Issuer or a Note Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Trustee or to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Agent Parallel Debt, to any sub-agent of the Collateral Agent under the Sub-Agent Parallel Debt or the Trustee or (y) the Collateral Agent or any sub-agent thereof shall have otherwise received monies in payment of the Parallel Debt owed to it, the total amount due and payable under the Securities and the Note Guarantees shall be decreased as if said amounts were received directly in payment of the Securities and Note Guarantees.

(e) In the event of a resignation of the Collateral Agent or any of its sub-agents or the appointment of a new Collateral Agent or sub-agent pursuant to Section 7.08 of this Indenture, the retiring Collateral Agent or sub-agent shall at the Grantors’ sole cost and expense (including legal fees) (i) assign the Parallel Debt owed to it (but not by way of novation) and (ii) transfer any Collateral granted to it securing such Parallel Debt, in each case to the successor Collateral Agent or sub-agent, as applicable.

NOTE GUARANTEES

SECTION 11.01. Note Guarantees.

(a) As promptly as practicable and in any event within 60 days of the Issue Date (the “60 Day Post-Closing Period”), Holdings and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than the Issuers) that are borrowers or guarantors under the Credit Agreement, excluding certain entities that would trigger a Rule 3-10 release as reasonably determined by Holdings, will jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee, as a guarantor and not as a surety, the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or

 

-106-


otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Securities, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest or additional interest on the Securities, expenses, indemnification or otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Note Guarantors being herein called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Note Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from each such Note Guarantor, and that each such Note Guarantor shall remain bound under this Article 11 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

(b) Each Note Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuers of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Note Guarantor waives notice of any default under the Securities or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuers or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement; (iv) the release of any security, if any, held by any Holder or the Trustee for the Guaranteed Obligations or any Note Guarantor; (v) the failure of any Holder or Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (vi) any change in the ownership of such Note Guarantor, except as provided in Section 11.02(b).

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have its obligations hereunder divided among the Note Guarantors, such that such Note Guarantor’s obligations would be less than the full amount claimed. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to have the assets of the Issuers first be used and depleted as payment of the Issuers’ or such Note Guarantor’s obligations hereunder prior to any amounts being claimed from or paid by such Note Guarantor hereunder. Each Note Guarantor hereby waives any right to which it may be entitled to require that the Issuers be sued prior to an action being initiated against such Note Guarantor.

(d) Each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(e) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.01 and 11.02, the obligations of each Note Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Note Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Securities or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any

 

-107-


thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Note Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Note Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(f) Except as set forth in Sections 8.01 and 11.02, each Note Guarantor agrees that its Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations. Except as set forth in Sections 8.01 and 11.02, each Note Guarantor further agrees that its Note Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuers or otherwise.

(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against any Note Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuers to pay the principal of or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, each Note Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law) and (iii) all other monetary obligations of the Issuers to the Holders and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(h) Each Note Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of any Note Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Note Guarantor for the purposes of this Section 11.01.

(i) Each Note Guarantor also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 11.01.

(j) Upon request of the Trustee, each Note Guarantor shall 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 this Indenture.

(k) Any Note Guarantee given by any direct or indirect parent of Holdings may be released and discharged from all obligations under this Article 11 at any time upon written notice to the Trustee from such direct or indirect parent of Holdings.

SECTION 11.02. Limitation on Note Guarantor Liability.

(a) Any term or provision of this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Note Guarantor shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering this Indenture or the Note Guarantee, as each relates to such Note Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(b) The Issuers, each Note Guarantor, each Holder, by its acceptance of Notes, and the Trustee hereby confirms that it is the intention of the parties to this Indenture that, except as set forth herein, the Note Guarantees under this Article 11 shall be Full and Unconditional as that term is defined in Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (“Rule 3-10”), enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. In furtherance of the foregoing and to the extent applicable, a Note Guarantor’s liability in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the extent set forth below:

(i) Limitations Applicable to U.S. Note Guarantors. Each Note Guarantor that as of the date of this Indenture or thereafter is incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, under the laws of the United States, any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia (a “U.S. Note Guarantor”), and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such U.S. Note Guarantor shall not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or otherwise be invalidated under, any Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, or under any other United States federal or state law or, to the extent applicable, any law of any other country or political subdivision thereof with respect to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, preference, moratorium or otherwise relating to or affecting the obligations of such U.S. Note Guarantor or the rights and remedies of creditors to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and each U.S. Note Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each U.S. Note Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, when taken together with and giving effect to (a) all contingent and fixed liabilities of such Note Guarantor, (b) any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under this Article 11, and (c) all other factors, in each case that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of such Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(ii) Limitations Applicable to Belgian Note Guarantors. Each Notes Guarantor that as of the date of this Indenture or thereafter is incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, in Belgium (a “Belgian Notes Guarantor”), and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirms that notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, or any related agreements or certificates, the maximum aggregate liability hereunder and under the Note Guarantee of any Belgian Notes Guarantor shall be limited to the extent required by applicable law including with respect to corporate benefit,

 

-109-


and thus without such liability exceeding the corporate interest of the Belgian Guarantor, in each case as set forth in any supplemental indenture entered into by such Belgian Guarantor.

(iii) Limitations Applicable to German Note Guarantors. Each Note Guarantor incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, in Germany as a limited liability company (GmbH) (a “German GmbH Note Guarantor”) or a limited partnership with a limited liability company as its general partner (GmbH & Co. KG) (a “GmbH & Co KG Note Guarantor,” together with any German GmbH Note Guarantor hereinafter referred to a “German Note Guarantor”), and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that the liability of such German Note Guarantor, or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner, shall be limited to the Adjusted Net Assets as will, after giving effect to all other relevant contingent and fixed liabilities of such German Note Guarantor, or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner, or and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Note Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such German Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. The obligation of any German Note Guarantor under this Article 11 will be binding only to the extent that it would not result in such German Note Guarantor’s, or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner’s, Adjusted Net Assets falling below the nominal registered share capital of such German Note Guarantor (Section 30 et seq. German GmbH Act (GmbH-Gesetz)), or, where such German Note Guarantor’s, or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner’s, Adjusted Net Assets are already below the amount of its registered share capital, would not cause such amount to be further reduced (Vertiefung einer Unterbilanz); provided that the limitations in this Section 11.02(iii) shall cease to apply:

(1) to the extent the German Note Guarantor secures any indebtedness under the Note Guarantee and this Indenture in respect of:

 

  (i) loans to the extent they are on-lent or otherwise passed on to the relevant German Note Guarantor, or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, to its general partner, or its subsidiaries and such amount on-lent or otherwise passed on is not returned; or

 

  (ii) bank guarantees or letters of credit that are issued and commercially related to the Notes for the benefit of any of the creditors of a German Note Guarantor or a German Note Guarantor’s subsidiaries (but excluding any Indebtedness resulting from a right to require cash collateralization); or

(2) if a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) or a profit absorption agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) (either directly or through a chain

 

-110-


of domination or profit absorption agreements) is or becomes effective between the relevant German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner) as dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and

 

  (i) if the German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner) is a Subsidiary of the relevant obligor whose obligations are guaranteed under the Note Guarantee, that obligor; or

 

  (ii) if the German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner) is a sister company of the relevant obligor whose obligations are guaranteed under the Note Guarantee, any joint (direct or indirect) parent company of the German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner) and that obligor

as dominating entity (beherrschendes Unternehmen) and if and to the extent the existence of such domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) or profit absorption agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) leads to the inapplicability of section 30 paragraph 1 sentence 1 German GmbH Act (GmbH-Gesetz) as amended, supplemented and replaced from time to time; or

(3) if and to the extent for any other reason (including as a result of a change in the relevant rules of law) the deficit (Unterbilanz) referred to above does not constitute a breach of the German Note Guarantor’s or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner’s obligations to maintain its registered share capital pursuant to sections 30 et seq. of the German GmbH Act (GmbH-Gesetz), each as amended, supplemented and replaced from time to time.

For the purposes of this subsection, “Adjusted Net Assets” shall only take into account the sum of the values of the assets of the relevant German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, of its general partner) less its liabilities, in each case determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals in Germany on the basis of the German Commercial Code (the “HGB”), but shall, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude the liabilities under or relating to the Note Guarantee. For the purposes of calculating the Adjusted Net Assets, the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows, (a) the amount of any increase in the registered share capital of the relevant German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, of its general partner) which was carried out after the relevant German Note Guarantor became a party to the Note Guarantee and/or this Indenture in violation of the Note Guarantee and/or this Indenture or which is not fully paid up (nicht voll eingezahlt) shall be deducted from the amount of the registered share capital of the relevant German Note Guarantor (or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, of its general partner), (b) loans or other contractual liabilities incurred by the relevant German Note Guarantor or as the case may be its general partner in breach of the Note Guarantee and/or this Indenture shall not be taken

 

-111-


into account as liabilities; and (c) assets of the relevant German Note Guarantor, or in case of a GmbH & Co. KG Note Guarantor, its general partner, shall be disregarded to the extent and as long as profits would be prohibited from distribution pursuant to section 268 paragraph 8 of the HGB.

(iv) Limitations Applicable to Luxembourg Note Guarantors. Each Note Guarantor incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, in Luxembourg (a “Luxembourg Note Guarantor”), and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that the liability of such Luxembourg Note Guarantor shall be limited to the extent required by applicable law to the amount any such Luxembourg Note Guarantor can pay without resulting in the cessation of payments (cessation des paiements) of such Luxembourg Note Guarantor. The obligations of any Luxembourg Note Guarantor under this Article 11 will be binding only to the extent that they would not result in a misuse of corporate assets as defined under Article 171-1 of the Luxembourg law on commercial companies of August 10, 1915, as amended from time to time.

(v) Limitations Applicable to Certain Other Note Guarantors. Each Note Guarantor that as of the date of this Indenture or thereafter is incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, under the laws of any jurisdiction other than Australia and the British Virgin Islands, and those jurisdictions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above (an “Other Note Guarantor”), and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder and the Trustee, hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of an Other Note Guarantor does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of, or otherwise violate, applicable law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Holder and each Other Note Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of an Other Note Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Other Note Guarantor result in the obligations of such Other Note Guarantor not constituting such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance or otherwise violating applicable law.

(vi) Mexican Note Guarantors. Each Note Guarantor organized under the laws of Mexico to the fullest extent permitted by law, until payment and discharge in full of each of the Issuer’s and each other Note Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to which it may be entitled, to the extent applicable, pursuant to Articles 2813, 2814,2815,2816, 2817, 2818, 2819, 2820, 2821, 2822, 2823, 2824, 2826, 2827, 2830, 2835, 2836, 2837, 2838, 2839, 2840, 2842, 2844, 2846, 2847, 2848 and 2849 of the Federal Civil Code (Código Civil Federal) and the corresponding provisions of the Civil Codes of the States of Mexico and the Federal District.

(vii) Brazilian Note Guarantors. Each Note Guarantor organized under the laws of Brazil (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable with the Issuers under this Indenture, (ii) expressly waives the benefit of order (benefício de ordem) and any and all rights and other entitlements pursuant to Articles 821, 827, 828, 829, 834, 835, 837, 838 and 839 of the Brazilian Civil Code and Articles 77 and 595 of the Brazilian Code of Civil

 

-112-


Procedure, as amended from time to time, and (iii) acknowledges that this Indenture shall not be considered a limited instrument of guarantee for the purposes of Article 822 of the Brazilian Civil Code, as amended from time to time.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11.02 to the contrary, if following the date of this Indenture:

(i) there shall be any change in the laws of any of the jurisdictions set forth in clauses (ii) through (iv) of clause (b) of this Section 11.02;

(iii) any Person shall be required to execute a Note Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.10 or Section 11.01 or otherwise hereunder and such Person is incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be, under the laws of any jurisdiction other than those in which entities are contemplated to become Note Guarantors as of the date hereof, including those jurisdictions addressed in clauses (i) through (iv) of clause (b) of this Section 11.02 and other than any jurisdiction in which a then existing Other Note Guarantor is incorporated, organized or formed, as the case may be (a “Future Note Guarantor”), and the Issuers shall reasonably determine that the provisions of Section 11.02(b)(v) hereof with respect to any Other Note Guarantor shall not adequately address the limitations on such Note Guarantee imposed by applicable law of the jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as the case may be, of such Future Note Guarantor;

(iv) then upon the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate, the Issuers shall be entitled to amend such clause or add such additional provisions to such clause, as the case may be, to the extent necessary so that the Note Guarantee of a Note Guarantor does not violate applicable law.

SECTION 12.09. Governing Law.

(a) Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Indenture, the Securities or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and, subject to the final sentence of this Section 12.09(a), each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding.

Each party not located in the United States irrevocably appoints

 

-117-


Pinafore, LLC as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding that may be instituted in any Specified Court. The Trustee reserves the right to bring an action in any court that has jurisdiction over the trust estate, which may be a court other than the Specified Courts, when seeking a direction from a court in the administration of the trust estate.

(b) Waiver of Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment, including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

(c) Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee, acting on behalf of and for the benefit of the Holders, could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Issuers and each Note Guarantor in respect of any sum due from them to the Trustee shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Trustee of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Trustee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Trustee and Holders hereunder, the Issuers and each Note Guarantor agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Trustee and the Holders against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder, the Trustee agrees to deliver to the Issuers and the Note Guarantors (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder.

Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

 

-118-


SECTION 12.11. Successors. All agreements of the Issuers and each Note Guarantor in this Indenture and the Securities shall bind its successors. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors.

SECTION 12.12. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

SECTION 12.13. Table of Contents; Headings. The table of contents, cross-reference sheet and headings of the Articles and Sections of this Indenture have been inserted for convenience of reference only, are not intended to be considered a part hereof and shall not modify or restrict any of the terms or provisions hereof.

SECTION 12.14. Indenture Controls. If and to the extent that any provision of the Securities or Second Lien Collateral Documents limit, qualify or conflict with a provision of this Indenture, such provision of this Indenture shall control.

SECTION 12.15. Severability. In case any provision in this Indenture 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 and such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability.

SECTION 12.16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ISSUERS, THE NOTE GUARANTORS, THE TRUSTEE, THE PAYING AGENT, THE REGISTRAR, THE TRANSFER AGENT AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(i) Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Security. Beneficial interests in any Transfer Restricted Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Transfer Restricted Global Security in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Restricted Securities Legend; provided, however, that prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period, transfers of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may not be made to a U.S. Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than an Initial Purchaser).

No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this Section 2.2(b)(i).

Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

B-8


or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, in each case, by written notice to the Issuers, may declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due and payable. If an Event of Default relating to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuers occurs, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities shall become immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. Under certain circumstances, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense and certain other conditions are complied with. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder has previously given the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have requested the Trustee in writing to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period. Subject to certain restrictions, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

15. Trustee Dealings with the Issuers

Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with and collect obligations owed to it by the Issuers or their Affiliates and may otherwise deal with the Issuers or their Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

16. No Recourse Against Others

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or holder of any equity interests in the Issuers or of any Note Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Issuers or the Note Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.

246 Goose Lane, Suite 105

Guilford, CT 06437

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This certificate is delivered to request a transfer of $[        ] principal amount of the 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Securities”) of PINAFORE, LLC and PINAFORE, INC. (the “Issuers”).

Upon transfer, the Securities would be registered in the name of the new beneficial owner as follows:

Name:                             

Address:                             

Taxpayer ID Number:                     

The undersigned represents and warrants to you that:

1. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), purchasing for our own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor” at least $250,000 principal amount of the Securities, and we are acquiring the Securities not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution in violation of the Securities Act. We have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Securities, and we invest in or purchase securities similar to the Securities in the normal course of our business. We, and any accounts for which we are acting, are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment.

2. We understand that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, unless so registered, may not be sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree on our own behalf and on behalf of any investor account for which we are purchasing Securities to offer, sell or otherwise transfer such Securities prior to the date that is one year after the later of the date of original issue and the last date on which the Issuers or any affiliate of the Issuers was the owner of such Securities (or any predecessor thereto) (the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”) only (a) to the Issuers, (b) pursuant to a registration statement that has been declared effective under the Securities Act, (c) in a transaction complying with the


requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”), to a person we reasonably believe is a qualified institutional buyer under Rule 144A (a “QIB”) that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of a QIB and to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, (d) pursuant to offers and sales that occur outside the United States within the meaning of Regulation S under the Securities Act, (e) to an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act that is purchasing for its own account or for the account of such an institutional “accredited investor,” in each case in a minimum principal amount of Securities of $250,000, or (f) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in each of the foregoing cases to any requirement of law that the disposition of our property or the property of such investor account or accounts be at all times within our or their control and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. The foregoing restrictions on resale will not apply subsequent to the Resale Restriction Termination Date. If any resale or other transfer of the Securities is proposed to be made pursuant to clause (e) above prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the transferor shall deliver a letter from the transferee substantially in the form of this letter to the Issuers and the Trustee, which shall provide, among other things, that the transferee is an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring such Securities for investment purposes and not for distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Each purchaser acknowledges that the Issuers and the Trustee reserve the right prior to the offer, sale or other transfer prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date of the Securities pursuant to clause (d), (e) or (f) above to require the delivery of an opinion of counsel, certifications or other information satisfactory to the Issuers and the Trustee.

4. Notices. All notices or other communications to the New Guarantor shall be given as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

5. Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (AND EXCLUDING ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE EXPRESSED TO BE SUBJECT TO ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

(a) Consent to Jurisdiction.

WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuers are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the New Guarantors, Holdings, the Issuers, and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities as follows:

 

  1. Defined Terms. As used in this Supplemental Indenture, terms defined in the Indenture or in the preamble or recital hereto are used herein as therein defined, except that the term “Holders” in this Note Guarantee shall refer to the term “Holders” as defined in the Indenture and the Trustee acting on behalf of and for the benefit of such Holders. The words “herein,” “hereof” and hereby and other words of similar import used in this Supplemental Indenture refer to this Supplemental Indenture as a whole and not to any particular section hereof.

 

  2. Agreement to Guarantee. The New Guarantors hereby agree, jointly and severally with all existing Note Guarantors (if any), to unconditionally guarantee the Issuers’ obligations under the Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Article 11 of the Indenture and to be bound by all other applicable provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and to perform all of the obligations and agreements of a Note Guarantor under the Indenture.

 

  3.

Ratification of Indenture; Supplemental Indentures Part of Indenture. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Indenture is in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms,


 

conditions and provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture shall form a part of the Indenture for all purposes, and every holder of Securities heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered shall be bound hereby.

 

  4. Notices. All notices or other communications to the New Guarantor shall be given as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

 

  5. Governing Law. THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE (AND EXCLUDING ANY COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS THAT ARE EXPRESSED TO BE SUBJECT TO ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

 

  a. Consent to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Supplemental Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and subject to the last sentence of this Section 5(a) each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party not located in the United States irrevocably appoints Pinafore, LLC (now known as Tomkins, LLC) as its agent to receive service of process or other legal summons for purposes of any Related Proceeding that may be instituted in any Specified Court. The Trustee reserves the right to bring an action in any court that has jurisdiction over the trust estate, which may be a court other than the Specified Courts, when seeking a direction from a court in the administration of the trust estate.

 

  b.

Waiver of Immunity. With respect to any Related Proceeding, each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all immunity (whether on the basis of sovereignty or otherwise) from jurisdiction, service of process, attachment (both before and after judgment) and execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in the Specified Courts, and with respect to any suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), each party waives any such immunity in the Specified Courts or any other court of competent jurisdiction, and will not raise or claim or cause to be pleaded any such immunity at or in respect of any such Related Proceeding or Related Judgment,


 

including, without limitation, any immunity pursuant to the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976, as amended.

 

  c. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than U.S. dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee, acting on behalf of and for the benefit of the Holders, could purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligations of the Issuers and each Note Guarantor in respect of any sum due from them to the Trustee shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any currency other than U.S. dollars, not be discharged until the first business day, following receipt by the Trustee of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, on which (and only to the extent that) the Trustee may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase U.S. dollars with such other currency; if the U.S. dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder, the Issuers and each Note Guarantor agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Trustee and the Holders against such loss. If the U.S. dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder, the Trustee agrees to deliver to the Issuers and the Note Guarantors (but without duplication) an amount equal to the excess of the U.S. dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Trustee and the Holders hereunder.

 

  6. Russian Guarantor. Solely with respect to the New Guarantor organized under the laws of Russia:

 

  a. Pursuant to Articles 847 and 854 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to withdraw moneys from the accounts of Gates CIS LLC (the “Russian Obligor”) opened with ZAO Citibank (Russia) (the “Russian Account Bank”) after an Event of Default has occurred and outstanding upon the presentation of payment demands (platezhnoe trebovanie oplachivaemoye bez aksepta) to the Russian Account Bank pursuant to a withdrawal agreement to be entered into between the Russian Obligor, the Russian Account Bank and the Collateral Agent (the “Withdrawal Agreement) for the purpose of satisfying of the obligations of each Issuer and each Note Guarantor under the Securities and the Note Guarantees.

 

  b. The Russian Obligor must give and maintain to the extent permitted by applicable law:

 

  (i) an irrevocable authority in favour of the Collateral Agent to withdraw moneys from the Russian Obligor’s accounts as provided for in the Withdrawal Agreement; and


  (ii) irrevocable instructions to the Russian Account Bank in form and substance satisfactory to the Russian Account Bank as may be required for:

 

  (A) transfers from one Russian Obligor’s account to another;

 

  (B) conversion from one currency to another currency of moneys standing to the credit of the Russian Obligor’s accounts; and

 

  (C) transfers of the funds from the Russian Obligor’s accounts to the Collateral Agent’s accounts,

provided, however, that non-delivery of such payment instructions shall not prejudice the authority of the Russian Account Bank to perform the relevant money transfer (if such transfer is permitted by applicable law) and shall not affect the validity of any such transfer.

 

  7. Trustee Makes No Representation. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

  8. Counterparts. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement.

 

  9. Effect of Headings. The Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction thereof.

WHEREAS the Issuers and the existing Note Guarantors have heretofore executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”) dated as of September 29, 2010, providing for the issuance of the Issuers’ 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Securities”), initially in the aggregate principal amount of $1,150,000,000;

WHEREAS pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture, the Trustee and the Issuers are authorized to execute and deliver this Supplemental Indenture;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, each New Guarantor, Holdings, the Issuers, and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities as follows:

SECTION 3. Registered Exchange Offer.

(a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause to be filed with the Commission no later than 270 days after the Closing Date (or if such 270th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), a Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the Exchange Securities and the Exchange Offer, (ii) cause such Registration Statement to become effective no later than 360 days after the Closing Date (or if such 360th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (iii) in connection with the foregoing, file (A) all pre-effective amendments to such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to cause such Registration Statement to become effective, (B) if applicable, a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430A under the Securities Act and (C) cause all necessary filings in connection with the registration and qualification of the Exchange Securities to be made under the state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as are necessary to permit Consummation of the Exchange Offer, and (iv) upon the effectiveness of such Registration Statement, commence the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting registration of the Exchange Securities to be offered in exchange for the Transfer Restricted Securities and to permit resales of Initial Securities held by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by Section 3(c) hereof.

(b) The Issuers and the Guarantors shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be effective continuously and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is sent to the Holders. The Issuers shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Securities shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Each of the Issuers shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer to be Consummated no later than 30 Business Days after the date notice of the Exchange Offer is required to be sent to the Holder.

(c) The Issuers shall indicate in a “Plan of Distribution” section contained in the Prospectus forming a part of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that any Broker-Dealer who holds Initial Securities that are Transfer Restricted Securities and that were acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Transfer Restricted Securities acquired directly from the Issuers), may exchange such Initial Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer; however, such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resales of the Exchange Securities received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, which prospectus delivery requirement may be satisfied by the delivery by such Broker-Dealer of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. Such “Plan of Distribution” section shall also contain all other information with respect to such resales by Broker-Dealers that the Commission may require in order to permit such resales pursuant thereto, but such “Plan of Distribution” shall not

 

-4-


name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of Initial Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer except to the extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy after the date of this Agreement.

Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities acquired by Broker-Dealers for their own accounts as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a Broker-Dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

The Issuers shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of such Prospectus to Broker-Dealers promptly upon request at any time during such 180-day (or shorter as provided in the foregoing sentence) period in order to facilitate such resales.

SECTION 4. Shelf Registration.

(a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Issuers are not required to file an Exchange Offer Registration Statement or to consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) hereof have been complied with), (ii) for any reason the Exchange Offer is not Consummated after the Effectiveness Target Date, or (iii) with respect to any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities such Holder notifies the Issuers prior to the 20th day following the Consummation of the Exchange Offer that (A) such Holder is prohibited by applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the Exchange Offer, or (B) such Holder may not resell the Exchange Securities acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such Holder, or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Securities acquired directly from the Issuers or one of their respective affiliates, then, upon such Holder’s request, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall

(x) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be filed a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act, which may be an amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (in either event, the “Shelf Registration Statement”) within 60 days after such filing obligations arises (or if such 60th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (such date being the “Shelf Filing Deadline”), which Shelf Registration Statement shall provide for resales of all Transfer Restricted Securities the Holders of which shall have provided the information required pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof; and

(y) use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or before the 150th day after

 

-5-


the obligation to file such Shelf Registration Statement arises (or if such 150th day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day).

Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof to the extent necessary to ensure that it is available for resales of Initial Securities by the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a), and to ensure that it conforms with the requirements of this Agreement, the Securities Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of at least one year (as extended by any Shelf Black-Out Period (as defined below) following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement (or shorter period that will terminate when all the Initial Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement), provided that the Issuers may, on a maximum of two occasions not to exceed 90 days in the aggregate (a “Shelf Black-Out Period”) in any twelve-month period determine that the Shelf Registration Statement is not usable under certain circumstances relating to corporate developments, public filings with the Commission and similar events, and suspend the use of the prospectus that is part of the Shelf Registration Statement if the Board Director determines in good faith that the disclosure of such development or event or other item could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of Holdings and its subsidiaries taken as a whole).

(b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder furnishes to the Issuers in writing, within 20 Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, such information as the Issuers may reasonably request for use in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus included therein. Each Holder as to which any Shelf Registration Statement is being effected agrees to furnish promptly to the Issuers all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuers by such Holder not materially misleading.

SECTION 5. Additional Interest. If (i) unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permissible under applicable law or Commission policy, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission (or become automatically effective) on or prior to 360 days after the Closing Date (the “Exchange Offer Effectiveness Target Date”), (ii) in the event the Issuers and the Guarantors are required to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the Commission (or become automatically effective) on or prior to 150 days after the obligation to file a Shelf Registration Statement arises (the “Shelf Registration Effectiveness Target Date” and, together with the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Date, the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (iii) the Exchange Offer has not been Consummated within 30 Business Days after the Exchange Offer Effectiveness Target Date with respect to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or fails to be usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded immediately by a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared or

 

-6-


automatically effective (except in the case of a Registration Statement that ceases to be effective or usable as specifically permitted by the last paragraph of Section 6 hereof) (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Registration Default”), the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agree that the interest rate borne by the affected series of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be increased by 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such increase exceed 1.00% per annum. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults relating to any particular Transfer Restricted Securities, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities will be reduced to the original interest rate borne by such Transfer Restricted Securities; provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different Registration Default occurs, the interest rate borne by the relevant Transfer Restricted Securities shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, no Additional Interest shall accrue for a Registration Default that occurs solely by reason of a Shelf Black-Out Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the amount of Additional Interest payable shall not increase because more than one Registration Default has occurred and is pending and (ii) a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities that is not entitled to the benefits of the Shelf Registration Statement (because, e.g., such Holder has not elected to include information or has not timely delivered such information to the Issuer pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof) shall not be entitled to Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default that pertains to the Shelf Registration Statement.

All obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Transfer Restricted Security at the time such security ceases to be a Transfer Restricted Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such security shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 6. Registration Procedures.

(a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Issuers and the Guarantors shall comply with all of the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such exchange to permit the sale of Transfer Restricted Securities being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and shall comply with all of the following provisions:

(available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and similar no-action letters, and (2) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K if the resales are of Exchange Securities obtained by such Holder in exchange for Initial Securities acquired by such Holder directly from the Issuers.

(b) Shelf Registration Statement.

If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or any state securities commission or other regulatory authority shall issue an order suspending the qualification or exemption from qualification of the Transfer Restricted Securities under state securities or blue sky laws, each of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal or lifting of such order at the earliest possible time;

If so directed by the Issuers, each Holder will deliver to the Issuers (at the Issuers’ expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Transfer Restricted Securities that was current at the time of receipt of such notice.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and the Shelf Registration Statement), the Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, will reimburse the Initial Purchasers and the Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered in the Exchange Offer and/or resold pursuant to the “Plan of Distribution” contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or registered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable, for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who shall be Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP or such other counsel as may be chosen by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities for whose benefit such Registration Statement is being prepared.

SECTION 8. Indemnification.

(a) The Issuers and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Holder and (ii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any Holder (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (ii) being hereinafter referred to as a “controlling person”) and (iii) the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of any Holder or any controlling person (any Person referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Indemnified Holder”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions and expenses (including, without limitation, and as incurred, reimbursement of all reasonable costs of investigating, preparing, pursuing, settling, compromising, paying or defending any claim or action, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to any Indemnified Holder), joint or several, directly or indirectly caused by, related to, based upon, arising out of or in connection with any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus

 

-15-


(or any amendment or supplement thereto), or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission that is made in reliance upon and in conformity with information relating to any of the Holders furnished in writing to the Issuers by any of the Holders expressly for use therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors may otherwise have.

In case any action or proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation or proceeding) shall be brought or asserted against any of the Indemnified Holders with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Issuers or the Guarantors, such Indemnified Holder (or the Indemnified Holder controlled by such controlling person) shall promptly notify the Issuers and the Guarantors in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any of the Issuers or the Guarantors of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Such Indemnified Holder shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such action and the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid, as incurred, by the Issuers and the Guarantors (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Holder is not entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for such Indemnified Holders, which firm shall be designated by the Holders. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall be liable for any settlement of any such action or proceeding effected with the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be withheld unreasonably, and each of the Issuers and the Guarantors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Holder from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of any settlement of any action effected with the written consent of the Issuers and the Guarantors. The Issuers and the Guarantors shall not, without the prior written consent of each Indemnified Holder, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, litigation or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Holder is a party thereto), unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Holder from all liability arising out of such action, claim, litigation or proceeding.

(b) Each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuers, the Guarantors and their respective directors, officers of the Issuers and the Guarantors who sign a Registration Statement, and any Person controlling (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, and the respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives and agents of each such Person (any Person referred to in clause (i) or (ii) may hereinafter be referred to as an “Issuer Indemnified Party”), to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Issuers and the Guarantors to each of the Indemnified Holders, but only with respect to claims and actions based on information relating to such Holder furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement. In case any action or proceeding shall be brought against an Issuer Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity

 

-16-


may be sought against a Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities, such Holder shall have the rights and duties given the Issuers and the Guarantors, and the Issuer Indemnified Parties shall have the rights and duties given to each Holder by the preceding paragraph.

(c) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an indemnified party under Section 8(a) or (b) hereof (other than by reason of exceptions provided in those Sections) in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, actions or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement (which in the case of the Issuers and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total gross proceeds to the Issuers and the Guarantors from the Initial Placement), the amount of Additional Interest which did not become payable as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement resulting in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments actions or expenses, and such Registration Statement, or if such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, the relative fault of the Issuers and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Issuers on the one hand and of the Indemnified Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Indemnified Holders, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in the second paragraph of Section 8(a) hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim.

The Issuers, the Guarantors and each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8, none of the Holders (and its related Indemnified Holders) shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discount received by such Holder with respect to the Initial Securities exceeds the amount of any damages which such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Holders’ obligations to contribute

 

-17-


pursuant to this Section 8(c) are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Initial Securities held by each of the Holders hereunder and not joint.

SECTION 9. Rule 144A. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees with each Holder, for so long as any Transfer Restricted Securities remain outstanding and during any period in which the Issuers or the Guarantors are not subject to Section 13 of 15(d), to make available to any Holder or beneficial owner of Transfer Restricted Securities in connection with any sale thereof and any prospective purchaser of such Transfer Restricted Securities from such Holder or beneficial owner, the information required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in order to permit resales of such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

SECTION 10. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Holder may participate in any Underwritten Registration hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell such Holder’s Transfer Restricted Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

SECTION 11. Selection of Underwriters. The Holders of Transfer Restricted Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Transfer Restricted Securities in an Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) that will administer such offering will be selected by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Transfer Restricted Securities included in such offering; provided, however, that such investment banker(s) and managing underwriter(s) must be reasonably satisfactory to the Issuers.

SECTION 12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Remedies. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors hereby agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

(b) No Inconsistent Agreements. Each of the Issuers and the Guarantors will not on or after the date of this Agreement enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. Neither of the Issuers nor any of the Guarantors has previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to its securities to any Person. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of either of the Issuers’ or any of the Guarantors’ securities under any agreement in effect on the date hereof.

(c) Adjustments Affecting the Securities. The Issuers will not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to the Securities that would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Holders to Consummate any Exchange Offer.

 

-18-


(d) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to or departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Issuers have (i) in the case of Section 5 hereof and this Section 12(d)(i), obtained the written consent of Holders of all outstanding Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) in the case of all other provisions hereof, obtained the written consent of Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities (excluding any Transfer Restricted Securities held by the Issuers or their respective Affiliates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose securities are being tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offer and that does not affect directly or indirectly the rights of other Holders whose securities are not being tendered pursuant to such Exchange Offer may be given by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Transfer Restricted Securities being tendered or registered; provided, however, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Issuers shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser with respect to which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver, consent or departure is to be effective.

  (b) Paragraph 7.6(a)(i) or 7.6(a)(ii), or both, as applicable, shall only apply to the extent that the application of such paragraph or paragraphs, as applicable, does not result in the amount that is guaranteed pursuant to Clause 7.1 being greater than it would otherwise have been but for the application of such paragraph or paragraphs.

 

7.7 Non-competition

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Issuer under or in connection with the Notes and these presents in respect thereof have been irrevocably paid in full, the Guarantor shall not, after a claim has been made or by virtue of any payment or performance by it under this Clause 7:

 

  (a) be subrogated to any rights, security or moneys held, received or receivable by the Trustee (or any agent on its behalf) or be entitled to any right of contribution or indemnity in respect of any payment made or moneys received on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Clause 7;

8. NON-PAYMENT

Proof that as regards any specified Note, Receipt or Coupon the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor has made default in paying any amount due in respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon shall (unless the contrary be proved) be sufficient evidence that the same default has been made as regards all other Notes, Receipts or Coupons (as the case may be) in respect of which the relevant amount is due and payable.

 

9. PROCEEDINGS, ACTION AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1 The Trustee shall not be bound to take any action or proceedings mentioned in Condition 11 or any other action in relation to these presents unless respectively directed or requested to do so (a) by an Extraordinary Resolution or (b) in writing by the holders of at least one-fifth in aggregate nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding and in either case then only if it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against all Liabilities to which it may thereby render itself liable or which it may incur by so doing.

 

9.2 Only the Trustee may enforce the provisions of these presents. No Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer or the Guarantor to enforce the performance of any of the provisions of these presents unless the Trustee having become bound as aforesaid to take proceedings fails to do so within a reasonable period and such failure is continuing.

 

10. APPLICATION OF MONEYS

All moneys received by the Trustee under these presents from the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor (including any moneys which represent principal or interest in respect of Notes, Receipts or Coupons which have become void or in respect of which claims have become prescribed under Condition 10) shall, unless and to the extent attributable, in the opinion of the Trustee, to a particular Series of the Notes, be apportioned pari passu and rateably between each Series of the Notes, and all moneys received by the Trustee under these presents from the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor to the extent attributable in the opinion of the Trustee to a particular Series of the Notes or which are apportioned to such Series as aforesaid, be held by the Trustee upon trust to apply them (subject to Clause 12):

First in payment or satisfaction of all amounts then due and unpaid under Clauses 15 and/or 16(j) to the Trustee and/or any Appointee;

Secondly in or towards payment pari passu and rateably of all principal and interest then due and unpaid in respect of the Notes of that Series;

Thirdly in or towards payment pari passu and rateably of all principal and interest then due and unpaid in respect of the Notes of each other Series; and

Fourthly in payment of the balance (if any) to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, (without prejudice to, or liability in respect of, any question as to how such payment to the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be dealt with as between the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and any other person).

Without prejudice to this Clause 10, if the Trustee holds any moneys which represent principal or interest in respect of Notes which have become void or in respect of which claims

 

21


 

 

have been prescribed under Condition 10, the Trustee will hold such moneys on the above trusts.

 

11. NOTICE OF PAYMENTS

The Trustee shall give notice to the relevant Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 of the day fixed for any payment to them under Clause 10. Such payment may be made in accordance with Condition 7 and any payment so made shall be a good discharge to the Trustee.

 

12. INVESTMENT BY TRUSTEE

 

12.1 The Trustee may at its discretion and pending payment invest moneys at any time available for the payment of principal and interest on the Notes in some or one of the investments hereinafter authorised for such periods as it may consider expedient with power from time to time at the like discretion to vary such investments. All interest and other income deriving from such investments shall be applied first in payment or satisfaction of all amounts then due and unpaid under Clause 15 and/or 16(j) to the Trustee and/or any Appointee and otherwise held for the benefit of and paid to the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders, as the case may be.

 

12.2 Any moneys which under the trusts of these presents ought to or may be invested by the Trustee may be invested in the name or under the control of the Trustee in any investments or other assets in any part of the world whether or not they produce income or by placing the same on deposit in the name or under the control of the Trustee at such bank or other financial institution and in such currency as the Trustee may think fit. If that bank or institution is the Trustee or a Subsidiary, holding or associated company of the Trustee, it need only account for an amount of interest equal to the amount of interest which would, at then current rates, be payable by it on such a deposit to an independent customer. The Trustee may at any time vary any such investments for or into other investments or convert any moneys so deposited into any other currency and shall not be responsible for any loss resulting from any such investments or deposits, whether due to depreciation in value, fluctuations in exchange rates or otherwise.

 

13. PARTIAL PAYMENTS

Upon any payment under Clause 11 (other than payment in full against surrender of a Note, Receipt or Coupon) the Note, Receipt or Coupon in respect of which such payment is made shall be produced to the Trustee or the Paying Agent by or through whom such payment is made and the Trustee shall or shall cause the Paying Agent to enface thereon a memorandum of the amount and the date of payment but the Trustee may in any particular case dispense with such production and enfacement upon such indemnity being given as it shall think sufficient.

  (g) Save as expressly otherwise provided in these presents, the Trustee shall have absolute and uncontrolled discretion as to the exercise or non-exercise of its trusts, powers, authorities and discretions under these presents (the exercise or non-exercise of which as between the Trustee and the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and Couponholders shall be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and Couponholders) and shall not be responsible for any Liability which may result from their exercise or non-exercise.

 

  (h) The Trustee shall not be liable to any person by reason of having acted upon any Extraordinary Resolution in writing or any Extraordinary Resolution or other resolution purporting to have been passed at any meeting of the holders of Notes of all or any Series in respect whereof minutes have been made and signed or any direction or request of the holders of the Notes of all or any Series even though subsequent to its acting it may be found that there was some defect in the constitution of the meeting or the passing of the resolution, (in the case of an Extraordinary Resolution in writing) that not all such holders had signed the Extraordinary Resolution or (in the case of a direction or request) it was not signed by the requisite number of holders) or that for any reason the resolution, direction or request was not valid or binding upon such holders and the relative Receiptholders and Couponholders.

 

28


 

 

  (i) The Trustee shall not be liable to any person by reason of having accepted as valid or not having rejected any Note, Receipt or Coupon purporting to be such and subsequently found to be forged or not authentic.

  (p)

In connection with the exercise by it of any of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions under these presents (including, without limitation, any modification,

 

29


 

 

 

waiver, authorisation or determination), the Trustee shall have regard to the general interests of the Noteholders as a class but shall not have regard to any interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) and, in particular but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of such exercise for individual Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory or any political sub-division thereof and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any other person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders except to the extent already provided for in Condition 9 and/or any undertaking given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor under these presents.

Neither the Trustee nor any director or officer or holding company, Subsidiary or associated company of a corporation acting as a trustee under these presents shall by reason of its or his fiduciary position be in any way precluded from:

 

  (a) entering into or being interested in any contract or financial or other transaction or arrangement with the Issuer or the Guarantor or any person or body corporate associated with the Issuer or the Guarantor (including without limitation any contract, transaction or arrangement of a banking or insurance nature or any contract, transaction or arrangement in relation to the making of loans or the provision of financial facilities or financial advice to, or the purchase, placing or underwriting of or the subscribing or procuring subscriptions for or otherwise acquiring, holding or dealing with, or acting as paying agent in respect of, the Notes or any other notes, bonds, stocks, shares, debenture stock, debentures or other securities of, the Issuer or the Guarantor or any person or body corporate associated as aforesaid); or

 

  (b) accepting or holding the trusteeship of any other trust deed constituting or securing any other securities issued by or relating to the Issuer or the Guarantor or any such person or body corporate so associated or any other office of profit under the Issuer or the Guarantor or any such person or body corporate so associated,

and shall be entitled to exercise and enforce its rights, comply with its obligations and perform its duties under or in relation to any such contract, transaction or arrangement as is referred to in (a) above or, as the case may be, any such trusteeship or office of profit as is referred to in (b) above without regard to the interests of the Noteholders and notwithstanding that the same may be contrary or prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders and shall not be responsible for any Liability occasioned to the Noteholders thereby and shall be entitled to retain and shall not be in any way liable to account for any profit made or share of brokerage or commission or remuneration or other amount or benefit received thereby or in connection therewith.

 

31


 

 

Where any holding company, Subsidiary or associated company of the Trustee or any director or officer of the Trustee acting other than in his capacity as such a director or officer has any information, the Trustee shall not thereby be deemed also to have knowledge of such information and, unless it shall have actual knowledge of such information, shall not be responsible for any loss suffered by Noteholders resulting from the Trustee’s failing to take such information into account in acting or refraining from acting under or in relation to these presents.

 

19. WAIVER, AUTHORISATION AND DETERMINATION

 

19.1 The Trustee may without the consent or sanction of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders and without prejudice to its rights in respect of any subsequent breach, Event of Default or Potential Event of Default from time to time and at any time but only if and in so far as in its opinion the interests of the Noteholders shall not be materially prejudiced thereby waive or authorise any breach or proposed breach by the Issuer or the Guarantor of any of the covenants or provisions contained in these presents or determine that any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default shall not be treated as such for the purposes of these presents PROVIDED ALWAYS THAT the Trustee shall not exercise any powers conferred on it by this Clause in contravention of any express direction given by Extraordinary Resolution or by a request under Condition 11 but so that no such direction or request shall affect any waiver, authorisation or determination previously given or made. Any such waiver, authorisation or determination may be given or made on such terms and subject to such conditions (if any) as the Trustee may determine, shall be binding on the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and, if, but only if, the Trustee shall so require, shall be notified by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 as soon as practicable thereafter.

MODIFICATION

 

19.2 The Trustee may without the consent or sanction of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders at any time and from time to time concur with the Issuer and the Guarantor in making any modification (a) to these presents which in the opinion of the Trustee it may be proper to make PROVIDED THAT the Trustee is of the opinion that such modification will not be materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders or (b) to these presents if in the opinion of the Trustee such modification is of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest or proven error or to comply with mandatory provisions of law. Any such modification may be made on such terms and subject to such conditions (if any) as the Trustee may determine, shall be binding upon the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise, shall be notified by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 as soon as practicable thereafter.

BREACH

 

19.3 Any breach of or failure to comply by the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) with any such terms and conditions as are referred to in sub-clauses 19.1 and 19.2 of this Clause shall constitute a default by the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) in the performance or observance of a covenant or provision binding on it under or pursuant to these presents.

 

32


 

 

20. HOLDER OF DEFINITIVE NOTE ASSUMED TO BE RECEIPTHOLDER AND COUPONHOLDER

 

20.1 Wherever in these presents the Trustee is required or entitled to exercise a power, trust, authority or discretion under these presents, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by applicable law, the Trustee shall, notwithstanding that it may have express notice to the contrary, assume that each Noteholder is the holder of all Receipts and Coupons appertaining to each Definitive Note of which he is the holder.

NO NOTICE TO RECEIPTHOLDERS OR COUPONHOLDERS

 

20.2 Neither the Trustee nor the Issuer nor the Guarantor shall be required to give any notice to the Receiptholders or Couponholders for any purpose under these presents and the Receiptholders or Couponholders shall be deemed for all purposes to have notice of the contents of any notice given to the holders of Notes in accordance with Condition 15.

 

21. CURRENCY INDEMNITY

Each of the Issuer and the Guarantor shall severally indemnify the Trustee, every Appointee, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and keep them indemnified against:

 

  (a) any Liability incurred by any of them arising from the non-payment by the Issuer or the Guarantor of any amount due to the Trustee or the holders of the Notes and the relative Receiptholders or Couponholders under these presents by reason of any variation in the rates of exchange between those used for the purposes of calculating the amount due under a judgment or order in respect thereof and those prevailing at the date of actual payment by the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor; and

 

  (b) any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of exchange between (i) the date as of which the local currency equivalent of the amounts due or contingently due under these presents (other than this Clause) is calculated for the purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Issuer or the Guarantor and (ii) the final date for ascertaining the amount of claims in such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation. The amount of such deficiency shall be deemed not to be reduced by any variation in rates of exchange occurring between the said final date and the date of any distribution of assets in connection with any such bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation.

The above indemnities shall constitute obligations of the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor separate and independent from their other obligations under the other provisions of these presents and shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by the Trustee or the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders from time to time and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the judgment or filing of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due under these presents (other than this Clause). Any such deficiency as aforesaid shall be deemed to constitute a loss suffered by the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor or its or their liquidator or liquidators.

 

33


 

 

22. NEW TRUSTEE

 

22.1 The power to appoint a new trustee of these presents shall be vested solely in the Issuer but no person shall be appointed who shall not previously have been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution. One or more persons may hold office as trustee or trustees of these presents but such trustee or trustees shall be or include a Trust Corporation. Whenever there shall be more than two trustees of these presents the majority of such trustees shall be competent to execute and exercise all the duties, powers, trusts, authorities and discretions vested in the Trustee by these presents PROVIDED THAT a Trust Corporation shall be included in such majority. Any appointment of a new trustee of these presents shall as soon as practicable thereafter be notified by the Issuer to the Agent and the Noteholders.

SEPARATE AND CO-TRUSTEES

 

22.2 Notwithstanding the provisions of sub-clause 22.1 above, the Trustee may, upon giving prior notice to the Issuer and the Guarantor (but without the consent of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders), appoint any person established or resident in any jurisdiction (whether a Trust Corporation or not) to act either as a separate trustee or as a co-trustee jointly with the Trustee:

 

  (a) if the Trustee considers such appointment to be in the interests of the Noteholders;

 

  (b) for the purposes of conforming to any legal requirements, restrictions or conditions in any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts is or are to be performed; or

 

  (c) for the purposes of obtaining a judgment in any jurisdiction or the enforcement in any jurisdiction of either a judgment already obtained or any of the provisions of these presents against the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor.

The Issuer irrevocably appoints the Trustee to be its attorney in its name and on its behalf to execute any such instrument of appointment. Such a person shall (subject always to the provisions of these presents) have such trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those conferred on the Trustee by these presents) and such duties and obligations as shall be conferred or imposed by the instrument of appointment. The Trustee shall have power in like manner to remove any such person. Such reasonable remuneration as the Trustee may pay to any such person, together with any attributable Liabilities incurred by it in performing its function as such separate trustee or co-trustee, shall for the purposes of these presents be treated as Liabilities incurred by the Trustee.

 

23. SUBSTITUTION

 

23.1

 

(a)

     The Trustee may without the consent of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders at any time agree with the Issuer and the Guarantor to the substitution in place of the Issuer (or of the previous substitute under this Clause) as the principal debtor under these presents of any Subsidiary of the Guarantor or the Issuer (such substituted company being hereinafter called the New Company) provided that a trust deed is executed or some other form of undertaking is given by the New Company in form and manner satisfactory to the Trustee, agreeing to be bound by the provisions of these presents with any consequential amendments which the Trustee may deem appropriate as fully as if the New Company had been named in these presents as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or of the previous substitute

 

34


 

 

under the Clause) and provided further that (except where the New Company is the Guarantor) the Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees all amounts payable under these presents to the satisfaction of the Trustee.

 

  (b) The following further conditions shall apply to 23.1(a) above:

 

  (i) the Issuer, the Guarantor and the New Company shall comply with such other requirements as the Trustee may direct in the interests of the Noteholders;

 

  (ii) where the New Company is subject generally to the taxing jurisdiction of a territory other than or in addition to the United Kingdom or any political sub-division or any authority therein or thereof having power to tax, undertakings or covenants shall be given by the New Company in terms corresponding to the provisions of Condition 9 with the substitution for (or, as the case may be, the addition to) the references to the United Kingdom of references to that other or additional territory to whose taxing jurisdiction the New Company is subject and (where applicable) Condition 8(b) shall be read and construed accordingly;

 

  (iii) without prejudice to the rights of reliance of the Trustee under the immediately following paragraph (iv), the Trustee is satisfied that the relevant transaction is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders; and

 

  (iv) if two Directors of the New Company (or other officers acceptable to the Trustee) shall certify that the New Company is solvent at the time at which the relevant transaction is proposed to be effected (which certificate the Trustee may rely upon absolutely) the Trustee shall not be under any duty to have regard to the financial condition, profits or prospects of the New Company or to compare the same with those of the Issuer or the previous substitute under this Clause as applicable.

 

23.2 Any such trust deed or undertaking shall, if so expressed, operate to release the Issuer or the previous substitute as aforesaid from all of its obligations as principal debtor under these presents. Not later than 14 days after the execution of such documents and compliance with such requirements, the New Company shall give notice thereof in a form previously approved by the Trustee to the Noteholders in the manner provided in Condition 15. Upon the execution of such documents and compliance with such requirements, the New Company shall be deemed to be named in these presents as the principal debtor in place of the Issuer (or in place of the previous substitute under this Clause) under these presents and these presents shall be deemed to be modified in such manner as shall be necessary to give effect to the above provisions and, without limitation, references in these presents to the Issuer shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to be or include references to the New Company.

 

24. TRUSTEE’S RETIREMENT AND REMOVAL

A trustee of these presents may retire at any time on giving not less than three months’ prior written notice to the Issuer and the Guarantor without giving any reason and without being responsible for any Liabilities incurred by reason of such retirement. The Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution remove any trustee or trustees for the time being of these presents.

 

35


 

 

The Issuer undertakes that in the event of the only trustee of these presents which is a Trust Corporation giving notice under this Clause or being removed by Extraordinary Resolution it will use its best endeavours to procure that a new trustee of these presents being a Trust Corporation is appointed as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The retirement or removal of any such trustee shall not become effective until a successor trustee being a Trust Corporation is appointed.

 

25. TRUSTEE’S POWERS TO BE ADDITIONAL

The powers conferred upon the Trustee by these presents shall be in addition to any powers which may from time to time be vested in the Trustee by the general law or as a holder of any of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

The following are the Terms and Conditions of the Notes which will be incorporated by reference into each Global Note (as defined below) and each definitive Note, in the latter case only if permitted by the relevant stock exchange or other relevant authority (if any) and agreed by the Issuer and the relevant Dealer at the time of issue but, if not so permitted and agreed, such definitive Note will have endorsed thereon or attached thereto such Terms and Conditions. The applicable Pricing Supplement in relation to any Tranche of Notes may specify other terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with the following Terms and Conditions, replace or modify the following Terms and Conditions for the purpose of such Notes. The applicable Pricing Supplement (or the relevant provisions thereof) will be endorsed upon, or attached to, each Global Note and definitive Note. Reference should be made to “Form of the Notes” for a description of the content of Pricing Supplements which will specify which of such terms are to apply in relation to the relevant Notes.

This Note is one of a Series (as defined below) of Notes issued by Tomkins Finance plc (the “Issuer”) constituted by a Trust Deed (such Trust Deed as modified and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, most recently by the third supplemental trust deed dated 28th August, 2003 made between the Issuer, Tomkins plc (the “Guarantor”) as guarantor and the Trustee (as defined below), the “Trust Deed”) dated 26th October, 2001 made between Tomkins plc as issuer and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the “Trustee” which expression shall include any successor as trustee).

References herein to the “Notes” shall be references to the Notes of this Series and shall mean:

 

(i) in relation to any Notes represented by a global Note (a “Global Note”), units of the lowest Specified Denomination in the Specified Currency;

 

(ii) any Global Note; and

 

(iii) any definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note.

The Notes, the Receipts (as defined below) and the Coupons (as defined below) have the benefit of an Agency Agreement (such Agency Agreement as amended and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the “Agency Agreement”) dated 28th August, 2003 and made between the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, The Bank of New York, London Branch as issuing and principal paying agent and agent bank (the “Agent”, which expression shall include any successor agent) and the other paying agents named therein (together with the Agent, the “Paying Agents”, which expression shall include any additional or successor paying agents).

Interest bearing definitive Notes have interest coupons (“Coupons”) and, if indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement, talons for further Coupons (“Talons”) attached on issue. Any reference herein to Coupons or coupons shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include a reference to Talons or talons. Definitive Notes repayable in instalments have receipts (“Receipts”) for the payment of the instalments of principal (other than the final instalment) attached on issue. Global Notes do not have Receipts, Coupons or Talons attached on issue.

The Pricing Supplement for this Note (or the relevant provisions thereof) is attached to or endorsed on this Note and supplements these Terms and Conditions and may specify other terms and conditions which shall, to the extent so specified or to the extent inconsistent with these Terms and Conditions, replace or modify these Terms and Conditions for the purposes of this Note. References to the “applicable Pricing Supplement” are to the Pricing Supplement (or the relevant provisions thereof) attached to or endorsed on this Note.

The Trustee acts for the benefit of the holders for the time being of the Notes, the holders of the Receipts and the holders of the Coupons, in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed. Any reference to “Noteholders” or “holders” in relation to any Notes shall mean the holders of the Notes and shall, in relation to any Notes represented by a Global Note, be construed as provided below. Any reference herein to “Receiptholders” shall mean the holders of the Receipts and any reference herein to “Couponholders” shall mean the holders of the Coupons and shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include the holders of the Talons.

As used herein, “Tranche” means Notes which are identical in all respects (including as to listing) and “Series” means a Tranche of Notes together with any further Tranche or Tranches of Notes which are (i) expressed to be consolidated and form a single series and (ii) identical in all respects (including as to listing) except for their respective Issue Dates, Interest Commencement Dates and/or Issue Prices.

Copies of the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement are available for inspection during normal business hours at the registered office for the time being of the Trustee (being, at 28th August, 2003, Fifth Floor, 100

 

39


 

 

Wood Street, London EC2V 7EX) and at the specified office of the Agent and the other Paying Agents. Copies of the applicable Pricing Supplement are obtainable during normal business hours at the specified office of each of the Paying Agents save that, if this Note is an unlisted Note of any Series, the applicable Pricing Supplement will only be obtainable by a Noteholder holding one or more unlisted Notes of that Series and such Noteholder must produce evidence satisfactory to the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor and the Trustee or, as the case may be, the relevant Paying Agent as to its holding of such Notes and identity. The Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders are deemed to have notice of, and are entitled to the benefit of, all the provisions of the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement, the Deed Poll and the applicable Pricing Supplement which are applicable to them. The statements in these Terms and Conditions include summaries of, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement.

Words and expressions defined in the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement or used in the applicable Pricing Supplement shall have the same meanings where used in these Terms and Conditions unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise stated and provided that, in the event of inconsistency between the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement, the Trust Deed will prevail and, in the event of inconsistency between the Trust Deed or the Agency Agreement and the applicable Pricing Supplement, the applicable Pricing Supplement will prevail.

 

1 FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE

The Notes are in bearer form and, in the case of definitive Notes, serially numbered, in the Specified Currency and the Specified Denomination(s). Notes of one Specified Denomination may not be exchanged for Notes of another Specified Denomination.

This Note may be a Fixed Rate Note, a Floating Rate Note, a Zero Coupon Note, an Index Linked Interest Note, a Dual Currency Interest Note or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending upon the Interest Basis shown in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

This Note may be an Index Linked Redemption Note, an Instalment Note, a Dual Currency Redemption Note, a Partly Paid Note or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending upon the Redemption/Payment Basis shown in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

Definitive Notes are issued with Coupons attached, unless they are Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to Coupons and Couponholders in these Terms and Conditions are not applicable.

Subject as set out below, title to the Notes, Receipts and Coupons will pass by delivery. The Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Paying Agents will (except as otherwise required by law) deem and treat the bearer of any Note, Receipt or Coupon as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) for all purposes but, in the case of any Global Note, without prejudice to the provisions set out in the next succeeding paragraph.

For so long as any of the Notes is represented by a Global Note held on behalf of Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and/or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), each person (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or of Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the nominal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Paying Agents as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal or interest on such nominal amount of such Notes, for which purpose the bearer of the relevant Global Note shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any Paying Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant Global Note and the expressions “Noteholder” and “holder of Notes” and related expressions shall be construed accordingly. In determining whether a particular person is entitled to a particular nominal amount of Notes as aforesaid, the Trustee may rely on such evidence and/or information and/or certification as it shall, in its absolute discretion, think fit and, if it does so rely, such evidence and/or information and/or certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all concerned.

Notes which are represented by a Global Note will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. References to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, be

 

40


 

 

deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearing system specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement or as may otherwise be approved by the Issuer, the Agent and the Trustee.

 

2 GUARANTEE

The payment of principal and interest in respect of the Notes and all other moneys payable by the Issuer under or pursuant to the Trust Deed has been unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantor in the Trust Deed (the “Guarantee”). The obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions of Condition 4) unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and (save as aforesaid and for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) rank equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Guarantor, from time to time outstanding.

 

3 STATUS OF THE NOTES

The Notes and any relative Receipts and Coupons are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions of Condition 4) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and (save as aforesaid and for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer, from time to time outstanding.

 

4 NEGATIVE PLEDGE

So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding, neither the Issuer nor the Guarantor will, and the Guarantor will ensure that each of its Subsidiaries (save for the Issuer) will not, secure any existing or future Debt Obligations or guarantees of Debt Obligations by means of a mortgage, pledge, lien or other security upon, or with respect to, any of its present or future undertaking, revenues or assets (including any uncalled capital) unless all amounts payable by the Issuer under the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons and the Trust Deed and/or the Guarantor under the Trust Deed (as the case may be) are secured equally and rateably to the satisfaction of the Trustee by the same mortgage, pledge, lien or other security or such other security interest or other arrangement (whether or not including the giving of a security interest) is provided either (a) as the Trustee shall in its absolute discretion deem not materially less beneficial to the interests of the Noteholders or (b) as shall be approved by an Extraordinary Resolution (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Noteholders.

In these Conditions, the following expressions have the following meanings:

Debt Obligations” means any indebtedness which is in the form of or represented by notes, bonds or other securities which are, or are intended to be, quoted, listed or dealt in or on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market; and

Subsidiary” has the meaning given to that term in Section 736 of the Companies Act 1985.

 

5 REDENOMINATION

 

  (a) Redenomination

Where redenomination is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being applicable, the Issuer may, without the consent of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders, on giving prior notice to the Trustee, the Agent, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15, elect that, with effect from the Redenomination Date specified in the notice, the Notes shall be redenominated in euro.

The election will have effect as follows:

 

  (i)

the Notes and the Receipts shall be deemed to be redenominated into euro in the denomination of euro 0.01 with a principal amount for each Note and Receipt equal to the principal amount of that Note or Receipt in the Specified Currency, converted into euro at the Established Rate, provided that, if the Issuer determines, with the agreement of the Agent and with the prior written approval of the Trustee, that the then market practice in respect of the redenomination into euro of internationally offered securities is different from the provisions specified above, such provisions shall be deemed to be amended so as to

 

41


 

 

 

comply with such market practice and the Issuer shall promptly notify the Noteholders, the stock exchange (if any) on which the Notes may be listed and the Paying Agents of such deemed amendments;

 

  (ii) save to the extent that an Exchange Notice has been given in accordance with paragraph (iv) below, the amount of interest due in respect of the Notes will be calculated by reference to the aggregate principal amount of Notes presented (or, as the case may be, in respect of which Coupons are presented) for payment by the relevant holder and the amount of such payment shall be rounded down to the nearest euro 0.01;

 

  (iii) if definitive Notes are required to be issued after the Redenomination Date, they shall be issued at the expense of the Issuer in the denominations of euro 1,000, euro 10,000, euro 100,000 and (but only to the extent of any remaining amounts less than euro 1,000 or such smaller denominations as the Agent and the Trustee may approve) euro 0.01 and such other denominations as the Agent shall determine and notify to the Noteholders;

 

  (iv) if issued prior to the Redenomination Date, all unmatured Coupons denominated in the Specified Currency (whether or not attached to the Notes) will become void with effect from the date on which the Issuer gives notice (the “Exchange Notice”) that replacement euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons are available for exchange (provided that such securities are so available) and no payments will be made in respect of them. The payment obligations contained in any Notes and Receipts so issued will also become void on that date although those Notes and Receipts will continue to constitute valid exchange obligations of the Issuer. New euro-denominated Notes, Receipts and Coupons will be issued in exchange for Notes, Receipts and Coupons denominated in the Specified Currency in such manner as the Agent may specify and as shall be notified to the Noteholders in the Exchange Notice. No Exchange Notice may be given less than 15 days prior to any date for payment of principal or interest on the Notes;

 

  (v) after the Redenomination Date, all payments in respect of the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons, other than payments of interest in respect of periods commencing before the Redenomination Date, will be made solely in euro as though references in the Notes to the Specified Currency were to euro. Payments will be made in euro by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee or, at the option of the payee, by a euro cheque;

 

  (vi) if the Notes are Fixed Rate Notes and interest for any period ending on or after the Redenomination Date is required to be calculated for a period ending other than on an Interest Payment Date, it will be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to each Specified Denomination, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention; and

 

  (vii) if the Notes are Floating Rate Notes, the applicable Pricing Supplement will specify any relevant changes to the provisions relating to interest.

 

  (b) Definitions

In these Conditions, the following expressions have the following meanings:

6 INTEREST

 

  (a) Interest on Fixed Rate Notes

Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount (or, if it is a Partly Paid Note, the amount paid up) from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date at the rate(s) per annum equal to the Rate(s) of Interest. Interest will be payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year up to (and including) the Maturity Date.

Except as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending on (but excluding) such date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount. Payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date will, if so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, amount to the Broken Amount so specified.

As used in these Conditions, “Fixed Interest Period” means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date.

If interest is required to be calculated for a period other than a Fixed Interest Period, such interest shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to each Specified Denomination, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention.

Day Count Fraction” means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest, in accordance with this Condition 6(a):

 

  (i) if “Actual/Actual (ISMA)” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement:

 

  (a) in the case of Notes where the number of days in the relevant period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the relevant payment date (the “Accrual Period”) is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period divided by the product of (1) the number of days in such Determination Period and (2) the number of Determination Dates (as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement) that would occur in one calendar year; or

 

  (b) in the case of Notes where the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the sum of:

 

  (1) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which the Accrual Period begins divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar year; and

 

  (2) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar year; and

 

  (ii) if “30/360” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the number of days in the period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the relevant payment date (such number of days being calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months) divided by 360.

In these Conditions, the following expressions have the following meanings:

Determination Period” means each period from (and including) a Determination Date to (but excluding) the next Determination Date (including, where either the Interest Commencement Date or the final Interest Payment Date is not a Determination Date, the period commencing on the first Determination Date prior to, and ending on the first Determination Date falling after, such date); and

sub-unit” means, with respect to any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of such currency that is available as legal tender in the country of such currency and, with respect to euro, one cent.

 

43


 

 

  (b) Interest on Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes

 

  (i) Interest Payment Dates

Each Floating Rate Note and Index Linked Interest Note bears interest on its outstanding nominal amount (or, if it is a Partly Paid Note, the amount paid up) from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date and such interest will be payable in arrear on either:

 

  (A) the Specified Interest Payment Date(s) in each year specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; or

 

  (B) if no Specified Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, each date (each such date, together with each Specified Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”) which falls the number of months or other period specified as the Specified Period in the applicable Pricing Supplement after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.

Such interest will be payable in respect of each Interest Period (which expression shall, in these Terms and Conditions, mean the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date).

If a Business Day Convention is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement and (x) if there is no numerically corresponding day on the calendar month in which an Interest Payment Date should occur or (y) if any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, then, if the Business Day Convention specified is:

 

  (1) in any case where Specified Periods are specified in accordance with Condition 6(b)(i)(B) above, the Floating Rate Convention, such Interest Payment Date (i) in the case of (x) above, shall be the last day that is a Business Day in the relevant month and the provisions of (B) below shall apply mutatis mutandis or (ii) in the case of (y) above, shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event (A) such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and (B) each subsequent Interest Payment Date shall be the last Business Day in the month which falls the Specified Period after the preceding applicable Interest Payment Date occurred; or

 

  (2) the Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day; or

 

  (3) the Modified Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; or

 

  (4) the Preceding Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day.

In these Conditions, “Business Day” means a day which is both:

 

  (A) a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and any Additional Business Centre specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; and

 

  (B) either (1) in relation to any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than London and any Additional Business Centre and which, if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars, shall be Sydney and Auckland, respectively) or (2) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-Time Gross Settlement Express Transfer (TARGET) System (the “TARGET System”) is open.

 

44


 

 

  (ii) Rate of Interest

The Rate of Interest payable from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes and Index Linked Interest Notes will be determined in the manner specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

 

  (A) ISDA Determination for Floating Rate Notes

Where ISDA Determination is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will be the relevant ISDA Rate plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement) the Margin (if any). For the purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), “ISDA Rate” for an Interest Period means a rate equal to the Floating Rate that would be determined by the Agent under an interest rate swap transaction if the Agent were acting as Calculation Agent for that swap transaction under the terms of an agreement incorporating the 2000 ISDA Definitions as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and as amended and updated as at the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes (the “ISDA Definitions”) and under which:

 

  (1) the Floating Rate Option is as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;

 

  (2) the Designated Maturity is a period specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement; and

 

  (3) the relevant Reset Date is either (i) if the applicable Floating Rate Option is based on the London inter-bank offered rate (“LIBOR”) or on the Euro-zone inter-bank offered rate (“EURIBOR”), the first day of that Interest Period or (ii) in any other case, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

For the purposes of this sub-paragraph (A), “Floating Rate”, “Calculation Agent”, “Floating Rate Option”, “Designated Maturity” and “Reset Date” have the meanings given to those terms in the ISDA Definitions.

 

  (B) Screen Rate Determination for Floating Rate Notes

Where Screen Rate Determination is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Period will, subject as provided below, be either:

(1) the offered quotation; or

(2) the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations,

(expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate which appears or appear, as the case may be, on the Relevant Screen Page as at 11.00 a.m. (London time, in the case of LIBOR, or Brussels time, in the case of EURIBOR) on the Interest Determination Date in question plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Pricing Supplement) the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Agent. If five or more of such offered quotations are available on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest (or, if there is more than one such highest quotation, one only of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, one only of such quotations) shall be disregarded by the Agent for the purpose of determining the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of such offered quotations.

The Agency Agreement contains provisions for determining the Rate of Interest in the event that the Relevant Screen Page is not available or if, in the case of (1) above, no such offered quotation appears or, in the case of (2) above, fewer than three such offered quotations appear, in each case as at the time specified in the preceding paragraph.

If the Reference Rate from time to time in respect of Floating Rate Notes is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement as being other than LIBOR or EURIBOR, the Rate of Interest in respect of such Notes will be determined as provided in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

 

45


 

 

  (iii) Minimum Rate of Interest and/or Maximum Rate of Interest

If the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies a Minimum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) above is less than such Minimum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be such Minimum Rate of Interest.

If the applicable Pricing Supplement specifies a Maximum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (ii) above is greater than such Maximum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be such Maximum Rate of Interest.

 

  (iv) Determination of Rate of Interest and calculation of Interest Amounts

The Agent, in the case of Floating Rate Notes, and the Calculation Agent, in the case of Index Linked Interest Notes, will at or as soon as practicable after each time at which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, determine the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period. In the case of Index Linked Interest Notes, the Calculation Agent will notify the Agent of the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period as soon as practicable after calculating the same.

The Agent will calculate the amount of interest (the “Interest Amount”) payable on the Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes in respect of each Specified Denomination for the relevant Interest Period. Each Interest Amount shall be calculated by applying the Rate of Interest to each Specified Denomination, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention.

Day Count Fraction” means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest in accordance with this Condition 6:

 

  (i) if “Actual/365” or “Actual/Actual” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365 (or, if any portion of that Interest Period falls in a leap year, the sum of (A) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (B) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365);

 

  (ii) if “Actual/365 (Fixed)” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365;

 

  (iii) if “Actual/365 (Sterling)” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365 or, in the case of an Interest Payment Date falling in a leap year, 366;

 

  (iv) if “Actual/360” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360;

 

  (v) if “30/360”, “360/360” or “Bond Basis” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months (unless (a) the last day of the Interest Period is the 31st day of a month but the first day of the Interest Period is a day other than the 30th or 31st day of a month, in which case the month that includes that last day shall not be considered to be shortened to a 30-day month, or (b) the last day of the Interest Period is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month)); and

 

  (vi) if “30E/360” or “Eurobond Basis” is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360 (the number of days to be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months, without regard to the date of the first day or last day of the Interest Period unless, in the case of the final Interest Period, the Maturity Date is the last day of the month of February, in which case the month of February shall not be considered to be lengthened to a 30-day month).

 

46


 

 

  (v) Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amounts

The Agent will cause the Rate of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the Trustee and any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are for the time being listed or by which they have been admitted to listing and notice thereof to be published in accordance with Condition 15 as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than the fourth London Business Day thereafter. Each Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date so notified may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without prior notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period. Any such amendment will be promptly notified to each stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes or Index Linked Interest Notes are for the time being listed or by which they have been admitted to listing and to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15. For the purposes of this paragraph, the expression “London Business Day” means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for general business in London.

 

  (vi) Determination or Calculation by Trustee

If for any reason the Agent or, as the case may be, the Calculation Agent at any time after the Issue Date defaults in its obligation to determine the Rate of Interest or the Agent defaults in its obligation to calculate any Interest Amount in accordance with sub-paragraphs (ii) and (iv) above, the Trustee shall, if practicable in the circumstances, determine the Rate of Interest and/or Interest Amount in accordance with the said sub-paragraphs. If the Trustee is not so able to determine the Rate of Interest and/or Interest Amount, the Trustee shall determine the Rate of Interest at such rate as, in its absolute discretion (having such regard as it shall think fit to the foregoing provisions of this Condition, but subject always to any Minimum Rate of Interest or Maximum Rate of Interest specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement), it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the circumstances or, as the case may be, the Trustee shall calculate the Interest Amount(s) in such manner as it shall deem fair and reasonable in all the circumstances and each such determination or calculation shall be deemed to have been made by the Agent or the Calculation Agent, as applicable.

 

  (vii) Certificates to be final

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition 6(b), the Calculation Agent, shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Agent, the Calculation Agent (if applicable), the other Paying Agents and all Noteholders, Receiptholders and Couponholders and (in the absence as aforesaid) no liability to the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Trustee in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions and no liability to the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Agent or the Calculation Agent (if applicable) in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

 

  (c) Interest on Dual Currency Interest Notes

The rate or amount of interest payable in respect of Dual Currency Interest Notes shall be determined in the manner specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

 

  (d) Interest on Partly Paid Note

In the case of Partly Paid Notes (other than Partly Paid Notes which are Zero Coupon Notes), interest will accrue as aforesaid on the paid-up nominal amount of such Notes and otherwise as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

 

  (e) Accrual of interest

Each Note (or in the case of the redemption of part only of a Note, that part only of such Note) will cease to bear interest (if any) from the date for its redemption unless, upon due presentation thereof, payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue as provided in the Trust Deed.

 

47


 

 

7 PAYMENTS

 

  (a) Method of payment

Subject as provided below:

 

  (i) payments in a Specified Currency other than euro will be made by credit or transfer to an account in the relevant Specified Currency (which, in the case of a payment in Japanese yen to a non-resident of Japan, shall be a non-resident account) maintained by the payee with, or, at the option of the payee, by a cheque in such Specified Currency drawn on, a bank in the principal financial centre of the country of such Specified Currency (which, if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars, shall be Sydney and Auckland, respectively); and

 

  (ii) payments in euro will be made by credit or transfer to a euro account (or any other account to which euro may be credited or transferred) specified by the payee or, at the option of the payee, by a euro cheque.

Payments will be subject in all cases to any fiscal or other laws and regulations applicable thereto in the place of payment, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 9.

 

  (b) Presentation of definitive Notes, Receipts and Coupons

Payments of principal in respect of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) above only against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of definitive Notes, and payments of interest in respect of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made as aforesaid only against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of Coupons, in each case at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United States (which expression, as used herein, means the United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia, its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction)).

Payments of instalments of principal (if any) in respect of definitive Notes, other than the final instalment, will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) above against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of the relevant Receipt in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Payment of the final instalment will be made in the manner provided in paragraph (a) above only against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of the relevant Note in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Each Receipt must be presented for payment of the relevant instalment together with the definitive Note to which it appertains. Receipts presented without the definitive Note to which they appertain do not constitute valid obligations of the Issuer. Upon the date on which any definitive Note becomes due and repayable, unmatured Receipts (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment shall be made in respect thereof.

Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form (other than Dual Currency Notes, Index Linked Notes or Long Maturity Notes (as defined below)) should be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons falling to be issued on exchange of matured Talons), failing which the amount of any missing unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, the same proportion of the amount of such missing unmatured Coupon as the sum so paid bears to the sum due) will be deducted from the sum due for payment. Each amount of principal so deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against surrender of the relative missing Coupon at any time before the expiry of 10 years after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 9) in respect of such principal (whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have become void under Condition 10) or, if later, five years from the date on which such Coupon would otherwise have become due, but in no event thereafter.

Upon any Fixed Rate Note in definitive form becoming due and repayable prior to its Maturity Date, all unmatured Talons (if any) appertaining thereto will become void and no further Coupons will be issued in respect thereof.

Upon the date on which any Floating Rate Note, Dual Currency Note, Index Linked Note or Long Maturity Note in definitive form becomes due and repayable, unmatured Coupons and Talons (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment or, as the case may be, exchange for further Coupons shall be made in respect thereof.

 

48


 

 

For the purposes of these Conditions, a “Long Maturity Note” is a Fixed Rate Note (other than a Fixed Rate Note which on issue had a Talon attached) whose nominal amount on issue is less than the aggregate interest payable thereon provided that such Note shall cease to be a Long Maturity Note on the Interest Payment Date on which the aggregate amount of interest remaining to be paid after that date is less than the nominal amount of such Note.

If the due date for redemption of any definitive Note is not an Interest Payment Date, interest (if any) accrued in respect of such Note from (and including) the preceding Interest Payment Date or, as the case may be, the Interest Commencement Date shall be payable only against surrender of the relevant definitive Note.

 

  (c) Payments in respect of Global Notes

Payments of principal and interest (if any) in respect of Notes represented by any Global Note will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner specified above in relation to definitive Notes and otherwise in the manner specified in the relevant Global Note against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of such Global Note at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United States. A record of each payment made against presentation or surrender of any Global Note, distinguishing between any payment of principal and any payment of interest, will be made on such Global Note by the Paying Agent to which it was presented and such record shall be prima facie evidence that the payment in question has been made.

 

  (d) General provisions applicable to payments

The holder of a Global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect of Notes represented by such Global Note and the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the holder of such Global Note in respect of each amount so paid. Each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial holder of a particular nominal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for his share of each payment so made by the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor to, or to the order of, the holder of such Global Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Condition, if any amount of principal and/or interest in respect of Notes is payable in U.S. dollars, such U.S. dollar payments of principal and/or interest in respect of such Notes will be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States if:

 

  (i) the Issuer has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment in U.S. dollars at such specified offices outside the United States of the full amount of principal and interest on the Notes in the manner provided above when due;

 

  (ii) payment of the full amount of such principal and interest at all such specified offices outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the full payment or receipt of principal and interest in U.S. dollars; and

 

  (iii) such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Issuer and the Guarantor, adverse tax consequences to the Issuer or the Guarantor.

 

  (e) Payment Day

If the date for payment of any amount in respect of any Note, Receipt or Coupon is not a Payment Day, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment until the next following Payment Day in the relevant place and shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment in respect of such delay. For these purposes, “Payment Day” means any day which (subject to Condition 10) is:

 

  (i) a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in:

49


 

 

 

general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (if other than the place of presentation, London and any Additional Financial Centre and which, if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars, shall be Sydney and Auckland, respectively) or (2) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the TARGET System is open.

 

  (f) Interpretation of principal and interest

Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to principal in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable:

 

  (i) any additional amounts which may be payable with respect to principal under Condition 9 or under any undertaking given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor pursuant to the Trust Deed;

 

  (ii) the Final Redemption Amount of the Notes;

 

  (iii) the Early Redemption Amount of the Notes;

 

  (iv) the Optional Redemption Amount(s) (if any) of the Notes;

 

  (v) in relation to Notes redeemable in instalments, the Instalment Amounts;

  (vii) any premium and any other amounts (other than interest) which may be payable by the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes.

Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to interest in respect of the Notes shall be deemed to include, as applicable, any additional amounts which may be payable with respect to interest under Condition 9 or under any undertaking given in addition thereto or in substitution therefor pursuant to the Trust Deed.

 

8 REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE

 

  (a) Redemption at maturity

Unless previously redeemed or purchased and in each case cancelled as specified below, each Note (including each Index Linked Redemption Note and Dual Currency Redemption Note) will be redeemed by the Issuer at its Final Redemption Amount specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Pricing Supplement in the relevant Specified Currency on the Maturity Date.

 

  (b) Redemption for tax reasons

This Note may be redeemed at the option of the Issuer in whole, but not in part, at any time (if this Note is neither a Floating Rate Note, an Index Linked Interest Note nor a Dual Currency Interest Note) or on any Interest Payment Date (if this Note is either a Floating Rate Note, an Index Linked Interest Note or a Dual Currency Interest Note), on giving not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee and the Agent and, in accordance with Condition 15, the Noteholders (which notice shall be irrevocable), if immediately prior to the giving of such notice the Issuer satisfies the Trustee that:

 

  (i) on the occasion of the next payment due under the Notes, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay additional amounts as provided or referred to in Condition 9 or the Guarantor would be unable for reasons outside its control to procure payment by the Issuer and in making payment itself would be required to pay such additional amounts, in each case as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws or regulations of a Tax Jurisdiction (as defined in Condition 9) or any change in the application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment becomes effective on or after the date on which agreement is reached to issue the first Tranche of the Notes; and

 

  (ii) such obligation cannot be avoided by the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor taking reasonable measures available to it,

provided that no such notice of redemption shall be given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor would be obliged to pay such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Notes then due.

 

50


 

 

Prior to the publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by two Directors of the Issuer or, as the case may be, two Directors of the Guarantor stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of facts showing that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred, and an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing to the effect that the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor has or will become obliged to pay such additional amounts as a result of such change or amendment and the Trustee shall be entitled to accept the certificate and opinion as sufficient evidence of the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out above, in which event it shall be conclusive and binding on the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders.

Notes redeemed pursuant to this Condition 8(b) will be redeemed at their Early Redemption Amount referred to in paragraph (e) below together (if appropriate) with interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of redemption.

 

  (c) Redemption at the option of the Issuer (Issuer Call)

If Issuer Call is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Issuer may, having given:

 

  (i) not less than 15 nor more than 30 days’ notice to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15; and

 

  (ii) not less than 15 days before the giving of the notice referred to in (i), notice to the Trustee and to the Agent;

(which notices shall be irrevocable and shall specify the date fixed for redemption), redeem all or some only of the Notes then outstanding on any Optional Redemption Date and at the Optional Redemption Amount(s) specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Pricing Supplement together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the relevant Optional Redemption Date. Any such redemption must be of a nominal amount not less than the Minimum Redemption Amount and not more than the Maximum Redemption Amount, in each case as may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement. In the case of a partial redemption of Notes, the Notes to be redeemed (“Redeemed Notes”) will be selected individually by lot, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, and in accordance with the rules of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, in the case of Redeemed Notes represented by a Global Note, not more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (such date of selection being hereinafter called the “Selection Date”). In the case of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes, a list of the serial numbers of such Redeemed Notes will be published in accordance with Condition 15 not less than 15 days prior to the date fixed for redemption. The aggregate nominal amount of Redeemed Notes represented by definitive Notes shall bear the same proportion to the aggregate nominal amount of all Redeemed Notes as the aggregate nominal amount of definitive Notes outstanding bears to the aggregate nominal amount of the Notes outstanding, in each case on the Selection Date, provided that, such first mentioned nominal amount shall, if necessary, be rounded downwards to the nearest integral multiple of the Specified Denomination, and the aggregate nominal amount of Redeemed Notes represented by a Global Note shall be equal to the balance of the Redeemed Notes. No exchange of the relevant Global Note will be permitted during the period from (and including) the Selection Date to (and including) the date fixed for redemption pursuant to this paragraph (c) and notice to that effect shall be given by the Issuer to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 at least five days prior to the Selection Date.

 

  (d) Redemption at the option of the Noteholders (Investor Put)

If Investor Put is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, upon the holder of any Note giving to the Issuer in accordance with Condition 15 not less than 15 nor more than 30 days’ notice the Issuer will, upon the expiry of such notice, redeem, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, such Note on the Optional Redemption Date and at the Optional Redemption Amount together, if appropriate, with interest accrued to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date.

To exercise the right to require redemption of this Note the holder of this Note must deliver at the specified office of any Paying Agent at any time during normal business hours of such Paying Agent falling within the notice period, a duly completed and signed notice of exercise (which shall be irrevocable) in the form (for the time being current) obtainable from any specified office of any Paying Agent (a “Put Notice”) and in which the holder must specify a bank account (or,

 

51


 

 

if payment is required to be made by cheque, an address) to which payment is to be made under this Condition 8. If this Note is in definitive form, the Put Notice must be accompanied by this Note or evidence satisfactory to the Paying Agent concerned that this Note will, following delivery of the Put Notice, be held to its order or under its control.

 

  (e) Early Redemption Amounts

For the purpose of paragraph (b) above and Condition 11, each Note will be redeemed at its Early Redemption Amount calculated as follows:

 

  (i) in the case of a Note with a Final Redemption Amount equal to the Issue Price, at the Final Redemption Amount thereof;

 

  (ii) in the case of a Note (other than a Zero Coupon Note but including an Instalment Note and a Partly Paid Note) with a Final Redemption Amount which is or may be less or greater than the Issue Price or which is payable in a Specified Currency other than that in which the Note is denominated, at the amount specified in, or determined in the manner specified in, the applicable Pricing Supplement or, if no such amount or manner is so specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, at its nominal amount; or

 

  (iii) in the case of a Zero Coupon Note, at an amount (the “Amortised Face Amount”) calculated in accordance with the following formula:

Early Redemption Amount = RP x (1 + AY) y

where:

RP” means the Reference Price; and

AY” means the Accrual Yield expressed as a decimal;

y” is a fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of days (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 months of 30 days each) from (and including) the Issue Date of the first Tranche of the Notes to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption or (as the case may be) the date upon which such Note becomes due and repayable and the denominator of which is 360,

or on such other calculation basis as may be specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.

 

  (f) Instalments

Instalment Notes will be redeemed in the Instalment Amounts and on the Instalment Dates. In the case of early redemption, the Early Redemption Amount will be determined pursuant to paragraph (e) above.

 

  (g) Partly Paid Notes

Partly Paid Notes will be redeemed, whether at maturity, early redemption or otherwise, in accordance with the provisions of this Condition and the applicable Pricing Supplement.

 

  (h) Purchases

The Issuer, the Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Issuer or the Guarantor may at any time purchase Notes (provided that, in the case of definitive Notes, all unmatured Receipts, Coupons and Talons appertaining thereto are purchased therewith) at any price in the open market or otherwise. If purchases are made by tender, tenders must be available to all Noteholders alike. All Notes so purchased will be surrendered to a Paying Agent for cancellation.

 

  (i) Cancellation

All Notes which are redeemed will forthwith be cancelled (together with all unmatured Receipts, Coupons and Talons attached thereto or surrendered therewith at the time of redemption). All Notes so cancelled and the Notes purchased and cancelled pursuant to paragraph (h) above (together with all unmatured Receipts, Coupons and Talons cancelled therewith) shall be forwarded to the Agent and cannot be reissued or resold.

 

  (j) Late payment on Zero Coupon Notes

If the amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Note upon redemption of such Zero Coupon Note pursuant to paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) above or upon its becoming due and repayable as provided in Condition 11 is improperly withheld or refused, the amount due and repayable in respect of such Zero Coupon Note shall be the amount calculated as provided in paragraph (e)(iii)

 

52


 

 

above as though the references therein to the date fixed for the redemption or the date upon which such Zero Coupon Note becomes due and payable were replaced by references to the date which is the earlier of:

 

  (i) the date on which all amounts due in respect of such Zero Coupon Note have been paid; and

 

  (ii) five days after the date on which the full amount of the moneys payable in respect of such Zero Coupon Notes has been received by the Agent or the Trustee and notice to that effect has been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15.

 

9 TAXATION

All payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes, Receipts and Coupons by the Issuer or the Guarantor will be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any Tax Jurisdiction unless such withholding or deduction is required by law. In such event, the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantor will pay such additional amounts as shall be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the holders of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of principal and interest which would otherwise have been receivable in respect of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons, as the case may be, in the absence of such withholding or deduction; except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Note, Receipt or Coupon:

 

  (a) presented for payment in the United Kingdom; or

 

  (b) presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who is liable for such taxes or duties in respect of such Note, Receipt or Coupon by reason of his having some connection with a Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere holding of such Note, Receipt or Coupon; or

 

  (c) presented for payment by, or by a third party on behalf of, a holder who would not be liable to such withholding or deduction if such holder had made a declaration of non-residence or similar claim for exemption to any authority or in any Tax Jurisdiction; or

 

  (d) presented for payment more than 30 days after the Relevant Date (as defined below) except to the extent that the holder thereof would have been entitled to an additional amount on presenting the same for payment on such thirtieth day assuming that day to have been a Payment Day (as defined in Condition 7(e)); or

 

  (e) where such withholding or deduction is imposed on a payment to an individual and is required to be made pursuant to any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th-27th November, 2000; or

 

  (f) presented for payment by or on behalf of a holder who would have been able to avoid such withholding or deduction by presenting the relevant Note, Receipt or Coupon to another Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union.

In these Conditions, the following expressions shall have the following meanings:

 

  (i) Tax Jurisdiction” means the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax; and

 

  (ii) the “Relevant Date” means the date on which such payment first becomes due, except that, if the full amount of the moneys payable has not been duly received by the Agent or the Trustee, as the case may be, on or prior to such due date, it means the date on which, the full amount of such moneys having been so received, notice to that effect is duly given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15.

 

10 PRESCRIPTION

The Notes, Receipts and Coupons will become void unless presented for payment within a period of 10 years (in the case of principal) and five years (in the case of interest) after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 9) therefor.

There shall not be included in any Coupon sheet issued on exchange of a Talon any Coupon the claim for payment in respect of which would be void pursuant to this Condition or Condition 7(b) or any Talon which would be void pursuant to Condition 7(b).

 

53


 

 

11 EVENTS OF DEFAULT

The Trustee at its discretion may, and if so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-fifth in nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution shall (subject in each case to being indemnified to its satisfaction), give notice to the Issuer that each Note is, and each Note shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount (as described in Condition 8(e)), together with accrued interest as provided in the Trust Deed, if any one or more of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

 

  (i) if default is made in the payment of any principal or interest due in respect of the Notes or any of them and the default continues for a period of 7 days in the case of principal and 14 days in the case of interest; or

 

  (ii) if the Issuer or the Guarantor fails to perform or observe any of its other obligations under the Trust Deed and these Conditions and (except in any case where, in the opinion of the Trustee, the failure is incapable of remedy when no such continuation or notice as is hereinafter mentioned will be required) the failure continues for the period of 30 days next following the service by the Trustee on the Issuer or the Guarantor (as the case may be) of notice requiring the same to be remedied; or

 

  (iii) if: (i) any indebtedness (whether being principal, premium, interest or other amounts) for or in respect of any notes, bonds, debentures, debenture stock, loan stock or other securities or any borrowed money or any liability under or in respect of any acceptance or acceptance credit in any such case in an aggregate amount of £10,000,000 (or its equivalent in any other currency or currencies) (“Indebtedness for Borrowed Money”) of the Issuer or the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary is declared due and repayable prematurely by reason of an event of default (however described); (ii) the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary fails to make any payment in respect of any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money on the due date for payment or within any applicable grace period as originally provided; (iii) any security given by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary for any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money becomes enforceable; or (iv) default is made by the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary in making any payment due under any guarantee and/or indemnity given by it in relation to any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money of any other person; or

 

  (iv) if any order is made by any competent court or resolution passed for the winding up or dissolution of the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary, save, in the case of the Issuer or the Guarantor or a Material Subsidiary, for the purposes of a reorganisation of a members’ solvent voluntary winding-up on terms approved by the Trustee; or

 

  (v) if the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary ceases or threatens to cease to carry on the whole or a substantial part of its business, save for the purposes of reorganisation on terms approved by the Trustee, or the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary stops or threatens to stop payment of, or is unable to, or admits inability to, pay its debts (or any class of its debts) as they fall due, or is deemed unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123(2) of the Insolvency Act 1986; or

 

  (vi) if (A) proceedings are initiated against the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary under any applicable liquidation, insolvency, composition, reorganisation or other similar laws, or an application is made for the appointment of an administrative or other receiver, manager, administrator or other similar official, or an administrative or other receiver, manager, administrator or other similar official is appointed, in relation to the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary or, as the case may be, in relation to the whole or a substantial part of the undertaking or assets of any of them, or an encumbrancer takes possession of the whole or a substantial part of the undertaking or assets of any of them, or a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other process is levied, enforced upon, sued out or put in force against the whole or a substantial part of the undertaking or assets of any of them and (B) in any case (other than the appointment of an administrator) is not discharged within 30 days; or

 

  (vii)

if the Issuer, the Guarantor or any Material Subsidiary initiates or consents to judicial proceedings relating to itself under any applicable liquidation, insolvency, composition, reorganisation or other similar laws or makes a conveyance or assignment for the benefit of,

 

54


 

 

 

or enters into any composition or other arrangement with, its creditors generally (or any class of its creditors) or any meeting is convened to consider a proposal for an arrangement or composition with its creditors generally (or any class of its creditors); or

 

  (viii) if the Guarantee ceases to be, or is claimed by the Issuer or the Guarantor not to be, in full force or effect,

provided, in the case of any Event of Default other than those described in paragraphs (i), (iii) and (iv) above, that the Trustee shall have certified to the Issuer and the Guarantor that the Event of Default is, in its opinion, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders. Such certificate shall be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders.

For the purposes of these Conditions, “Material Subsidiary” means, at any time, any Subsidiary of the Guarantor (excluding the Issuer):

 

  (a) whose total assets (consolidated in the case of a Subsidiary which itself has a Subsidiary) represent not less than 15 per cent. of the total assets of the Guarantor’s group (as shown in the then latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor’s group); and/or

 

  (b) whose turnover (consolidated in the case of a Subsidiary which itself has a Subsidiary) represents not less than 5 per cent. of the consolidated turnover of the Guarantor’s group (as shown in the then latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Guarantor’s group); and/or

 

  (c) to which has been transferred (whether by one transaction or a series of transactions, whether related or not) the whole or substantially the whole of the assets of a Subsidiary which, immediately prior to such transactions or any such transaction, is a Material Subsidiary by virtue of paragraph (a) or (b) above,

all as more particularly defined in the Trust Deed.

The certificate or report of the Auditors (as defined in the Trust Deed) that, in their opinion, a Subsidiary of the Guarantor is or is not or was or was not at any particular time or throughout any specified period a Material Subsidiary may be relied upon by the Trustee without any further enquiry or evidence and, if relied upon by the Trustee, shall, in the absence of manifest or proven error, be conclusive and binding on all concerned.

 

12 REPLACEMENT OF NOTES, RECEIPTS, COUPONS AND TALONS

Should any Note, Receipt, Coupon or Talon be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the specified office of the Agent or any other place approved by the Trustee upon payment by the claimant of such costs and expenses as may be incurred in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Notes, Receipts, Coupons or Talons must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

 

13 PAYING AGENTS

The names of the initial Paying Agents and their initial specified offices are set out below.

The Issuer and the Guarantor are entitled, with the prior written approval of the Trustee, to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent and/or appoint additional or other Paying Agents and/or approve any change in the specified office through which any Paying Agent acts, provided that:

 

  (a) there will at all times be an Agent;

 

  (b) so long as the Notes are listed on any stock exchange, there will at all times be a Paying Agent with a specified office in such place as may be required by the rules and regulations of the relevant stock exchange (or any other relevant authority);

 

  (c) there will at all times be a Paying Agent in a jurisdiction within continental Europe (unless all Paying Agents within continental Europe are obliged to deduct or withhold tax from payments made); and

 

  (d)

if any law implementing or complying with, or introduced in order to conform to, Council Directive 2003/48/EC or any other Directive implementing the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council meeting of 26th-27th November, 2000 is introduced, the Issuer will ensure that it maintains a Paying Agent in a Member State of the European Union that will not be obliged to withhold or deduct tax pursuant to any such Directive or law (other than the United Kingdom unless (i) the United Kingdom is the only Member State of the European Union that will not be so obliged and (ii) there is then no United Kingdom obligation to withhold or deduct tax from

 

55


 

 

 

payments of principal or interest in respect of the Notes, Receipts or Coupons (provided that in the event that such withholding or deduction is subsequently imposed the Issuer will be obliged to operate the provisions of this Condition 13(d) once again prior to the date of such imposition)), provided that this Condition 13(d) shall not apply if all Member States of the European Union will be so obliged.

In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantor shall forthwith appoint a Paying Agent having a specified office in New York City in the circumstances described in Condition 7(d). Any variation, termination, appointment or change shall only take effect (other than in the case of insolvency, when it shall be of immediate effect) after not less than 30 nor more than 45 days’ prior notice thereof shall have been given to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15.

In acting under the Agency Agreement, the Paying Agents act solely as agents of the Issuer and the Guarantor and, in certain circumstances set out therein, of the Trustee and do not assume any obligation to, or relationship of agency or trust with, any Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders. The Agency Agreement contains provisions permitting any entity into which any Paying Agent is merged or converted or with which it is consolidated or to which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets to become the successor agent.

 

14 EXCHANGE OF TALONS

On and after the Interest Payment Date on which the final Coupon comprised in any Coupon sheet matures, the Talon (if any) forming part of such Coupon sheet may be surrendered at the specified office of the Agent or any other Paying Agent in exchange for a further Coupon sheet including (if such further Coupon sheet does not include Coupons to (and including) the final date for the payment of interest due in respect of the Note to which it appertains) a further Talon, subject to the provisions of Condition 10.

 

15 NOTICES

All notices regarding the Notes will be deemed to be validly given if published in a leading English language daily newspaper of general circulation in London. It is expected that such publication will be made in the Financial Times. The Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly published in a manner which complies with the rules of any stock exchange or any other relevant authority on which the Notes are for the time being listed or by which they have been admitted to listing. Any such notice will be deemed to have been given on the date of the first publication or, where required to be published in more than one newspaper, on the date of the first publication in all required newspapers. If publication as provided above is not practicable, notice will be given in such other manner, and will be deemed to have been given on such date, as the Trustee shall approve.

Until such time as any definitive Notes are issued, there may, so long as any Global Notes representing the Notes are held in their entirety on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, be substituted for such publication in such newspaper(s) the delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg for communication by them to the holders of the Notes and, in addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on a stock exchange or admitted to listing by any other relevant authority and the rules of that stock exchange or other relevant authority so require, such notice will be published in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the place or places required by those rules. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the holders of the Notes on the seventh day after the day on which the said notice was given to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Notices to be given by any Noteholder shall be in writing and given by lodging the same, together (in the case of any Note in definitive form) with the relative Note or Notes, with the Agent. Whilst any of the Notes are represented by a Global Note, such notice may be given by any holder of a Note to the Agent through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, in such manner as the Agent and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, may approve for this purpose.

 

16 MEETINGS OF NOTEHOLDERS, MODIFICATION, WAIVER AND SUBSTITUTION

The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of the Noteholders to consider any matter affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of a modification of the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Trust Deed. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer, the Guarantor or the Trustee and shall be convened by the Issuer upon request by Noteholders holding not less than five per cent. in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being remaining outstanding.

 

56


 

 

The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution is one or more persons holding or representing more than 50 per cent. in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting one or more persons being or representing Noteholders whatever the nominal amount of the Notes so held or represented, except that at any meeting the business of which includes the modification of certain provisions of the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Trust Deed (including modifying the date of maturity of the Notes or any date for payment of interest thereon, reducing or cancelling the amount of principal or the rate of interest payable in respect of the Notes or altering the currency of payment of the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons), the quorum shall be one or more persons holding or representing not less than two-thirds in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned such meeting one or more persons holding or representing not less than one-third in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding. An Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of the Noteholders shall be binding on all the Noteholders, whether or not they are present at the meeting, and on all Receiptholders and Couponholders.

The Trustee and the Issuer may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders, to:

 

  (a) any modification of the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Trust Deed which is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders; or

 

  (b) any modification of the Notes, the Receipts, the Coupons or the Trust Deed which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or is made to correct a manifest or proven error or to comply with mandatory provisions of the law.

Any such modification shall be binding on the Noteholders, the Receiptholders and the Couponholders and, unless the Trustee agrees otherwise, any such modification shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 as soon as practicable thereafter.

In connection with the exercise by it of any of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions (including, without limitation, any modification, wavier or authorisation), the Trustee shall have regard to the general interests of the Noteholders as a class but shall not have regard to any interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) and, in particular but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of the exercise of its trusts, powers, authorities or discretions for individual Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any other person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequence of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders except to the extent already provided for in Condition 9 and/or any undertaking given in addition to, or in substitution for, Condition 9 pursuant to the Trust Deed.

The Trustee may, without the consent of the Noteholders, agree with the Issuer to the substitution in place of the Issuer (or of any previous substitute under this Condition) as the principal debtor under the Notes, Receipts, Coupons and the Trust Deed of another company, being a Subsidiary of the Issuer, or the Guarantor, subject to the Trustee being satisfied that the interests of the Noteholders will not be materially prejudiced by the substitution and certain other conditions set out in the Trust Deed being complied with.

 

17 INDEMNIFICATION OF THE TRUSTEE; ITS CONTRACTING WITH THE ISSUER AND/OR THE GUARANTOR AND ENFORCEMENT

The Trust Deed contains provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee and for its relief from responsibility, including provisions relieving it from taking action unless indemnified to its satisfaction.

The Trust Deed also contains provisions pursuant to which the Trustee is entitled, inter alia , (i) to enter into business transactions with the Issuer, the Guarantor and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries and to act as trustee for the holders of any other securities issued or guaranteed by the Issuer, the Guarantor and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) to exercise and enforce its rights, comply with its obligations and perform its duties under or in relation to any such transactions or, as the case may be, any such trusteeship without regard to the interests of the Noteholders, Receiptholders or Couponholders, and (iii) to retain and not be liable to account for any profit made or any other amount or benefit received thereby or in connection therewith.

 

57


 

 

The Trustee may at any time, at its discretion and without notice, take such proceedings against the Issuer and/or the Guarantor as it may think fit to enforce the provisions of the Trust Deed, the Notes and the Coupons, but it shall not be bound to take any such proceedings or any other action in relation to the Trust Deed, the Notes, the Receipts or the Coupons unless (a) it shall have been so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Noteholders or so requested in writing by the holders of at least one-fifth in nominal amount of the Notes then outstanding and (b) it shall have been indemnified to its satisfaction.

No Noteholder, Receiptholder or Couponholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer and/or the Guarantor unless the Trustee, having become bound so to proceed, fails to do so within a reasonable period and the failure shall be continuing.

 

18 FURTHER ISSUES

The Issuer shall be at liberty from time to time without the consent of the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders to create and issue further notes having terms and conditions the same as the Notes or the same in all respects save for the amount and date of the first payment of interest thereon and so that the same shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding Notes.

 

19 CONTRACTS (RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES) ACT 1999

No rights are conferred on any person under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of the Notes, but this does not affect any right or remedy of any person which exists or is available apart from that Act.

 

20 GOVERNING LAW

The Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement, the Notes, the Receipts and the Coupons are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

TEMPORARY GLOBAL NOTE

This Note is a Temporary Global Note in respect of a duly authorised issue of Notes of the Issuer (the Notes) of the Nominal Amount, Specified Currency(ies) and Specified Denomination(s) as are specified in the Pricing Supplement applicable to the Notes (the Pricing Supplement), a copy of which is annexed hereto. References herein to the Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in the First Schedule to the Trust Deed (as defined below) as supplemented, replaced and modified by the Pricing Supplement but, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the said Conditions and the information in the Pricing Supplement, the Pricing Supplement will prevail.

Words and expressions defined in the Conditions shall bear the same meanings when used in this Global Note.

This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions and a Trust Deed (such Trust Deed as modified and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the Trust Deed) dated 26th October, 2001 and made between the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. as trustee for the holders of the Notes.

For value received, the Issuer, subject as hereinafter provided and subject to and in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Instalment Date (if the Notes are repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date and/or on such earlier date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, the amount payable under the Conditions in respect of such Notes on each such date and to pay interest (if any) on the nominal amount of the Notes from time to

time represented by this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Conditions and the Trust Deed together with any other sums payable under the Conditions and the Trust Deed, upon presentation and, at maturity, surrender of this Global Note at the specified office of the Agent at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, England or such other specified office as may be specified for this purpose in accordance with the Conditions or at the specified office of any of the other Paying Agents located outside the United States, its territories and possessions (except as provided in the Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Notes.

On any redemption or payment of an instalment or interest being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes represented by this Global Note details of such redemption, payment, purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule One hereto and the relevant space in Schedule One hereto recording any such redemption, payment, purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Upon any such redemption, payment of an instalment, purchase and cancellation the nominal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or the amount of such instalment. The nominal amount from time to time of this Global Note and of the Notes represented by this Global Note following any such redemption, payment of an instalment, purchase and cancellation as aforesaid or any exchange as referred to below shall be the nominal amount most recently entered in the relevant column in Parts 2, 3 or 4 of Schedule One hereto or in Schedule Two hereto.

Payments of principal and interest (if any) due prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below) will only be made to the bearer hereof to the extent that there is presented to the Agent by Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg) or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System (Euroclear) a certificate in or substantially in the form set out in Part 7 of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed to the effect that it has received from or in respect of a person entitled to a particular nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note (as shown by its records) a certificate in or substantially in the form of Certificate “A” as set out in Part 7 of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed.

On or after the date (the Exchange Date) which is 40 days after the Issue Date, this Global Note may be exchanged (free of charge) in whole or in part for, as specified in the Pricing Supplement, either Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons and the relevant information supplementing, replacing or modifying the Conditions appearing in the Pricing Supplement has been endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Notes) or a Permanent Global Note in or substantially in the form set out in Part 2 of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed (together with the Pricing Supplement attached thereto) upon notice being given by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Global Note and subject, in the case of Definitive Notes, to such notice period as is specified in the Pricing Supplement.

If Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons have already been issued in exchange for all the Notes represented for the time being by the Permanent Global Note, then this Global Note may only thereafter be exchanged for Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons pursuant to the terms hereof.

Presentation of this Global Note for exchange shall be made by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in England at the office of the Agent specified above.

On an exchange of part only of this Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two hereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount of this Global Note so exchanged. On any exchange of this Global Note for a Permanent Global Note, details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two to the Permanent Global Note and the relevant space in Schedule Two thereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer.

Each person (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the nominal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Agent and any other Paying Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal and interest on such nominal amount of such Notes, the right to which shall be vested, as against the Issuer and the Guarantor, solely in the bearer of this Global Note in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Global Note and the Trust Deed.

This Global Note is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

(incorporated with limited liability under the laws of England and Wales)

unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by

TOMKINS PLC

(incorporated with limited liability under the laws of England and Wales)

PERMANENT GLOBAL NOTE

This Note is a Permanent Global Note in respect of a duly authorised issue of Notes of the Issuer (the Notes) of the Nominal Amount, Specified Currency(ies) and Specified Denomination(s) as are specified in the Pricing Supplement applicable to the Notes (the Pricing Supplement), a copy of which is annexed hereto. References herein to the Conditions shall be to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes as set out in the First Schedule to the Trust Deed (as defined below) as supplemented, replaced and modified by the Pricing Supplement but, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the said Conditions and the information in the Pricing Supplement, the Pricing Supplement will prevail.

Words and expressions defined in the Conditions shall bear the same meanings when used in this Global Note.

This Global Note is issued subject to, and with the benefit of, the Conditions and a Trust Deed (such Trust Deed as modified and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the Trust Deed) dated 26th October, 2001 and made between the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. as trustee for the holders of the Notes.

For value received, the Issuer, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, promises to pay to the bearer hereof on each Instalment Date (if the Notes are repayable in instalments) and on the Maturity Date and/or on such earlier date(s) as all or any of the Notes represented by this Global Note may become due and repayable in accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, the amount payable under the Conditions in respect of such Notes on each such date and to pay interest (if any) on the nominal amount of the Notes from time to time represented by this Global Note calculated and payable as provided in the Conditions and the Trust Deed together with any other sums payable under the Conditions and the Trust Deed, upon presentation and, at

 

69


 

 

maturity, surrender of this Global Note at the specified office of the Agent at One Canada Square, London E14 5AL, England or such other specified office as may be specified for this purpose in accordance with the Conditions or at the specified office of any of the other Paying Agents located outside the United States, its territories and possessions (except as provided in the Conditions) from time to time appointed by the Issuer in respect of the Notes.

On any redemption or payment of an instalment or interest being made in respect of, or purchase and cancellation of, any of the Notes represented by this Global Note details of such redemption, payment, purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule One hereto and the relevant space in Schedule One hereto recording any such redemption, payment, purchase and cancellation (as the case may be) shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer. Upon any such redemption, payment of an instalment, purchase and cancellation the nominal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be reduced by the nominal amount of such Notes so redeemed or purchased and cancelled or the amount of such instalment. The nominal amount from time to time of this Global Note and of the Notes represented by this Global Note following any such redemption, payment of an instalment, purchase and cancellation as aforesaid or any exchange as referred to below shall be the nominal amount most recently entered in the relevant column in Part 2, 3 or 4 of Schedule One hereto or in Schedule Two hereto.

Where TEFRA D is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the Notes will initially have been represented by a Temporary Global Note. On any exchange of such Temporary Global Note issued in respect of the Notes for this Global Note or any part hereof, details of such exchange shall be entered by or on behalf of the Issuer in Schedule Two hereto and the relevant space in Schedule Two hereto recording such exchange shall be signed by or on behalf of the Issuer, whereupon the nominal amount of this Global Note and the Notes represented by this Global Note shall be increased by the nominal amount of the Temporary Global Note so exchanged.

This Global Note may be exchanged (free of charge) in whole, but not in part, for Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons in or substantially in the forms set out in Parts 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed (on the basis that all the appropriate details have been included on the face of such Definitive Notes and (if applicable) Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons and the relevant information supplementing, replacing or modifying the Conditions appearing in the Pricing Supplement has been endorsed on or attached to such Definitive Notes) either, as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement:

 

  (a) upon not less than 60 days’ written notice being given to the Agent by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. as operator of the Euroclear System (Euroclear) and/or Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (Clearstream, Luxembourg) (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Global Note); or

 

  (b) upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event.

An Exchange Event means:

 

  (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

  (ii) the Issuer has been notified that both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or have announced an intention permanently to cease business or have in fact done so and no successor clearing system satisfactory to the Trustee is available; or

 

70


 

 

  (iii) the Issuer has or will become subject to adverse tax consequences which would not be suffered were the Notes in definitive form and a certificate to such effect from two Directors of the Issuer has been given to the Trustee.

If this Global Note is exchangeable following the occurrence of an Exchange Event:

 

  (a) the Issuer will promptly give notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 15 upon the occurrence of such Exchange Event; and

 

  (b) Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in this Global Note) or the Trustee may give notice to the Agent requesting exchange and, in the event of the occurrence of an Exchange Event as described in (b)(iii) above, the Issuer may also give notice to the Agent requesting exchange.

Any such exchange shall occur on a date specified in the notice not more than 45 days after the date of receipt of the first relevant notice by the Agent.

The first notice requesting exchange in accordance with the above provisions shall give rise to the issue of Definitive Notes for the total nominal amount of Notes represented by this Global Note.

Any such exchange as aforesaid will be made upon presentation of this Global Note by the bearer hereof on any day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks are open for business in England at the office of the Agent specified above.

The aggregate nominal amount of Definitive Notes issued upon an exchange of this Global Note will be equal to the aggregate nominal amount of this Global Note. Upon exchange of this Global Note for Definitive Notes, the Agent shall cancel it or procure that it is cancelled.

Until the exchange of the whole of this Global Note as aforesaid, the bearer hereof shall (subject as provided in the next paragraph) in all respects be entitled to the same benefits as if he were the bearer of Definitive Notes and the relative Receipts, Coupons and/or Talons (if any) in the form(s) set out in Parts 3, 4, 5 and 6 (as applicable) of Schedule 2 to the Trust Deed.

Each person (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular nominal amount of the Notes represented by this Global Note (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the nominal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Agent and any other Paying Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal and interest on such nominal amount of such Notes, the right to which shall be vested, as against the Issuer and the Guarantor, solely in the bearer of this Global Note in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Global Note and the Trust Deed.

This Global Note is governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, English law.

A person who is not a party to this Global Note has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Global Note, but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

10. Subject to paragraph 12 below, if at any such meeting a poll is so demanded it shall be taken in such manner and subject as hereinafter provided either at once or after an adjournment as the Chairman directs and the result of such poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded as at the date of the taking of the poll.

11. The Chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) any such meeting adjourn the same from time to time and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully (but for lack of required quorum) have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

23. Subject to all other provisions of these presents the Trustee may without the consent of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Noteholders, the Receiptholders or the Couponholders prescribe such further regulations regarding the requisitioning and/or the holding of meetings of Noteholders and attendance and voting thereat as the Trustee may in its sole discretion think fit.

  Re: Registration Statement No. 333-        ; $1,150,000,000 Aggregate Principal
     Amount of Senior Secured Second Lien Notes.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Tomkins, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC Co-Issuer”) and Tomkins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporate Co-Issuer,” and, together with the LLC Co-Issuer, the “Issuers”), in connection with the issuance of up to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) and the guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) by the entities listed on Schedule I hereto (collectively, the “Delaware Corporate Guarantors”), the entities listed on Schedule II hereto (collectively, the “Delaware LLC Guarantors”), the entities listed on Schedule III hereto (collectively, the “Delaware LP Guarantors,” and together with the Delaware Corporate Guarantors and the Delaware LLC Guarantors, the “Delaware Guarantors”), the entity listed on Schedule IV hereto (the “California Guarantor”), the entities listed on Schedule V hereto (collectively, the “Texas Guarantors,” and together with the Delaware Guarantors and the California Guarantor, the “Covered Guarantors”), Pinafore Acquisitions Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Bidco”) and the entities listed on Schedule VI hereto (collectively, the “Other Guarantors,” and together with the Covered Guarantors and Bidco, the “Guarantors”), under an Indenture dated as of September 29, 2010, including the Guarantees, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture), the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (collectively, the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”) and as collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 24, 2011 (Registration No. 333-        ) (the

Registration Statement”). The Notes and the Guarantees will be issued in exchange for the Company’s outstanding 9% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Old Notes”), and the related guarantees, on the terms set forth in the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) contained in the Registration Statement and the letter of transmittal to be filed as an exhibit thereto.

This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Notes and the Guarantees.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company, the Guarantors, and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the States of New York, California and Texas and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, as applicable, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state. Various matters concerning the laws of the jurisdictions set forth on Schedule VII are addressed in the opinions of the counsel set forth on Schedule VII, which have been separately provided to you. We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions expressed herein, we have, with your consent, assumed such matters.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Notes have been duly executed, issued, and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered against surrender of the Old Notes in the circumstances contemplated by the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of September 29, 2010 filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the Notes and the Guarantees will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company and limited partnership action, as applicable, of the Issuers and the Covered Guarantors, respectively, and will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against the Issuers and the Guarantors in accordance with their respective terms.

Our opinion is subject to: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought; (iii) the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; and (iv) we express no opinion as to (a) any provision for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties,

make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, arbitration, remedies, or judicial relief, (c) the waiver of rights or defenses; (d) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; (e) provisions purporting to make a guarantor primarily liable rather than as a surety and provisions purporting to waive modifications of any guaranteed obligation to the extent such modification constitutes a novation; and (f) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect.

We express no opinion with respect to (i) advance waivers of claims, defenses, rights granted by law, or notice, opportunity for hearing, evidentiary requirements, statutes of limitation, trial by jury or at law, or other procedural rights; (ii) waivers of broadly or vaguely stated rights; (iii) covenants not to compete; (iv) provisions for exclusivity, election or cumulation of rights or remedies; (v) provisions authorizing or validating conclusive or discretionary determinations; (vi) grants of setoff rights; (vii) proxies, powers and trusts; and (viii) provisions prohibiting, restricting, or requiring consent to assignment or transfer of any right or property. We have not been requested to express and, with your consent, do not render any opinion herein with respect to the creation, validity, attachment, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest.

With your consent, we have assumed (a) that the Indenture, the Guarantees, and the Notes (collectively, the “Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company and each of the Covered Guarantors, (b) that the Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company and each of the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (c) that the status of the Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties are not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Latham & Watkins

Re: Broadway Mississippi Development, LLC, Gates Development Corporation and Gates International Holdings, LLC

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This firm has acted as special Colorado counsel to Gates Development Corporation, a Colorado corporation, Broadway Mississippi Development, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, and Gates International Holdings, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (collectively, the “Local Guarantors”), in connection with the issuance of $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) by Tomkins, Inc. (formerly, Pinafore, Inc.) and Tomkins, LLC (formerly, Pinafore, LLC) (collectively the “Issuers”) and the guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) by the Local Guarantors under an Indenture dated as of September 29, 2010, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011, and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (collectively, the “Indenture”) entered into among the Issuers, the Guarantors named and defined therein, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent, and pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 24, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”). The Local Guarantors have requested us to render this opinion letter in connection with the submission of the Registration Statement to the Commission.

In our capacity as special Colorado counsel as set forth above, for purposes of rendering the opinions contained in this opinion letter, we reviewed executed originals or copies of (i) the Notes, (ii) the Indenture, (iii) the Guarantees; (iv) the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and (v) the documents listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto. Such documents described in clause (i) through and including (iii) are referred to collectively as the “Indenture Documents” and the documents described in clauses (i) through and including (v) are referred to collectively in this opinion letter as the “Reviewed Documents.”

In our examination of the Reviewed Documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (with the exception of those natural persons who executed the Indenture Documents on behalf of the Local Guarantors), the legal capacity of all natural persons the accuracy and completeness of all of the Reviewed Documents, the authenticity of all originals of the Reviewed Documents and the conformity

to authentic originals of all of the Reviewed Documents submitted to us as copies (including telecopies). As to all matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed and other statements made herein, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the Reviewed Documents, we have not independently established the facts so relied on, and we have not made any investigation or inquiry other than our examination of the Reviewed Documents. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

Our opinions set forth below are subject to the following further assumptions, limitations and qualifications:

(i) our opinions are limited to the constitution and the laws of the State of Colorado in effect on the date hereof;

(ii) our opinions expressed in subparagraphs (b), (c) and (d) below with respect to matters pertaining to Broadway Mississippi Development, LLC and Gates International Holdings, LLC are limited to the Colorado Limited Liability Company Act, set forth in Section 7-80-101 et seq., Colorado Revised Statutes, as amended (the “Limited Liability Company Act”); and

(iii) our opinions expressed below are based upon a review of only those Colorado laws and regulations that, based on our experience, we have determined to be generally recognized as applicable to transactions of the type contemplated in the Registration Documents and the performance by the Local Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder.

Based upon, subject to and limited by the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth in this opinion letter, we are of the opinion that:

(a)    Based, with your consent, on the good standing certificate specified in item 5 of Schedule 1 attached hereto, we confirm that Gates Development Corporation is validly existing as a corporation and in good standing as of the date of such certificate under the laws of the State of Colorado.

(b)    Based, with your consent, on the good standing certificate specified in item 5 of Schedule 1 attached hereto, we confirm that each of Broadway Mississippi Development, LLC and Gates International Holdings, LLC is validly existing as a limited liability company and in good standing as of the date of such certificate under the laws of the State of Colorado.

(c)    Gates Development Corporation has the requisite power and authority under the laws of the State of Colorado, its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and its Amended and Restated By-Laws, and each of Broadway Mississippi Development, LLC and Gates International Holdings, LLC has the requisite power and authority under the Limited Liability Company Act, its Articles of Organization, as amended, and its Operating Agreement, as amended, to execute and to perform its obligations under the Indenture Documents to which it is a party.

(d)    Each Local Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Indenture Documents to which it is a party, and each Local Guarantor has duly executed and delivered the Indenture Documents to which it is a party.

  RE: $1,150,000,000 of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel in the State of Tennessee (the “State”) to Ideal Clamp Products, Inc., a corporation organized under the law of the State of Tennessee (the “TN Guarantor”), in connection with the issuance of $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) by Tomkins, Inc. (formerly Pinafore, Inc.) and Tomkins, LLC (formerly, Pinafore, LLC) (collectively, the “Issuers”) and the guarantee of the Notes (the “Note Guarantee”) by TN Guarantor under an Indenture dated as of September 29, 2010 (the “Original Indenture”) as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011, and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”) entered into among the Issuers, the Guarantors named therein, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent.

For the purposes of this opinion letter (the “Opinion Letter”), we have examined a copy of the Indenture, including the Note Guarantee contained therein, which has been identified to our satisfaction.

We have also examined the following organizational documents of the TN Guarantor (the documents referred to in paragraphs (i) through (vi) below being hereinafter referred to as the “Organizational Documents”):

 

  (i) Charter certified by the Tennessee Secretary of State on September 20, 2010;


  (ii) Bylaws certified by an officer of the TN Guarantor pursuant to a Closing Certificate dated September 29, 2010;
  (iii) Closing Certificate dated September 29, 2010 certifying the incumbency of the persons specified therein;
  (iv) Action by Written Consent of the Board of Directors of the TN Guarantor dated as of September 20, 2010;
  (v) Action by Written Consent of the Board of Directors of the TN Guarantor dated January 20, 2011; and
  (vi) Certificate of Existence issued by the Tennessee Secretary of State on June 17, 2011 (the “Certificate of Existence”).

Except as set forth above concerning the Indenture and the Organizational Documents that we have reviewed, we have not reviewed any other documents, and no opinions contained herein shall pertain to any other documents. To the extent that opinions expressed below involve matters of fact, we have relied upon the representations and warranties made in the Indenture and the Organizational Documents.

In making such examinations, we have with your permission assumed that:

 

  (a) the Indenture examined by us conforms to the original, has been properly completed with blank spaces filled in and exhibits attached, and has not been modified, amended, rescinded or terminated since March 3, 2011, and said Indenture remains in full force and effect;

 

  (b) except as set forth in Opinion Paragraph 1 below, the corporations, partnerships or limited liability companies which are parties to the Indenture are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws applicable to their respective organization and existence and in all other places in which they are conducting their respective businesses;

 

  (c) except as set forth in Opinion Paragraphs 2 and 3 below, the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed, and delivered by each of the parties for value received, and nothing in the articles of incorporation, bylaws (or the equivalent thereof), the partnership agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the operating agreement or certificate of formation of any of the parties prohibits any of the parties from executing the Indenture or performing the transactions contemplated by the Indenture, and each of the parties has the full corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture and documents required or permitted to be executed, delivered and performed thereunder;

 

  (d) all signatures on the Indenture are genuine, and all individuals executing the Indenture have legal capacity;


  (e) the Indenture, including the Note Guarantee contained therein, is valid and enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York, and the transaction bears a reasonable relationship to that state;

 

  (f) the Organizational Documents have not been modified, amended, rescinded or terminated since the dates specified above with respect to such Organizational Documents, and such Organizational Documents remain in full force and effect;

 

  (g) all factual statements set forth in the Indenture and the Organizational Documents are true, accurate and complete in all material respects;

 

  (h) no articles of dissolution, no certificate of cancellation, no notice of intent to dissolve, no application for withdrawal, no statement of commencement of winding up nor any similar document has been filed or is pending with respect to TN Guarantor;

 

  (i) no petition has been filed in any court of competent jurisdiction to dissolve TN Guarantor or challenge the TN Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance under the Original Indenture;

 

  (j) no petition has been filed by the Attorney General of the State proposing the dissolution of the TN Guarantor or the forfeiture of TN Guarantor’s articles of incorporation;

 

  (k) the exercise of any remedy by the Trustee or Holders (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) with respect to the Indenture in any other state will not, under the laws of such other state, impair the exercise of remedies in the State;

 

  (l) there are no corporate resolutions of TN Guarantor relating to the Indenture other than those listed among the Organizational Documents;

 

  (m) no proceedings by or against TN Guarantor have been commenced in bankruptcy or for reorganization, liquidation or the readjustment of debts under the federal or any state bankruptcy code or any other law, nor has TN Guarantor made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admitted in writing inability to pay debts generally as they become due, or filed or had filed against it any action seeking an order appointing a trustee or receiver of all or a substantial part of the property of TN Guarantor; and

 

  (n) the Guaranteed Obligations (as such term is defined in the Indenture) are enforceable against the TN Guarantor.


Although we have not conducted an independent investigation of the accuracy of any of these assumptions, nothing has come to our attention leading us to question the accuracy of said assumptions.

Based on the foregoing assumptions and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

1.       Based solely on the Certificate of Existence, TN Guarantor is a corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State.

2.       TN Guarantor has all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Original Indenture, and has taken all corporate action required to authorize the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations under, the Original Indenture.

3.       TN Guarantor has duly executed and delivered the Original Indenture.

The opinions set forth above are qualified as stated therein and are further qualified as follows:

 

  (a) The opinions set forth in this Opinion Letter are subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights, from time to time in effect.

 

  (b) We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the existence or absence of such facts which would be contrary to the opinions expressed herein, and no inference as to the knowledge of the existence of such facts should be drawn from the fact of our representation of TN Guarantor as its special counsel.

Our opinions are subject to the further qualification that we express no opinion as to:

 

  (i) the effects of actions and omissions of the Trustee or Holders heretofore or hereafter occurring, whether intentional or unintentional, constituting fraud, bad faith, commercial unreasonableness, misrepresentation, duress, coercion, obstruction of TN Guarantor’s performance, failure to perform or other similar basis for limiting Trustee’s or Holders’ remedies;

 

  (ii) the application or effect of any federal or state securities laws or federal, state or local environmental laws on or to the transaction governed by the Indenture;


  (iii) the effect of any federal or state tax lien or state employee liens on the rights and remedies afforded to the Trustee or Holders under the Indenture or the legal rights of government agencies of attachment or forfeiture under various criminal statutes; or

 

  (iv) the enforceability of the Indenture.

This Opinion Letter is presumed to deal only with the specific legal issues that are addressed by it. Accordingly, any express opinion concerning a particular legal issue is presumed not to address any other matters. Even if this presumption against opinion by implication can be overcome by compelling rebuttal, the legal issues specified in the foregoing paragraphs are covered only if and to the extent any such issue is specifically addressed in this Opinion Letter.

The opinions contained in this Opinion Letter are expressions of professional judgment regarding the legal matters addressed and not guarantees that a court will reach any particular result.

The law covered by the opinions expressed in this Opinion Letter is limited to the law of the State. We express no opinion concerning the laws of any other jurisdiction, or the effect thereof. We further express no opinion concerning the statutes and ordinances, the administrative decisions, and the rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the Federal, state or regional level) and judicial decisions to the extent that they deal with any of the foregoing.

This Opinion Letter is rendered as of the effective date set forth above and addresses the law as of such date. We express no opinion as to circumstances or events which may occur subsequent to the date hereof, nor do we undertake any obligation to inform you of any changes in the law occurring after the date hereof.

This Opinion Letter is made for the benefit of and may be relied upon by the addressees thereof. This Opinion Letter also may be relied upon by Latham & Watkins LLP in the issuance of its opinion letter in connection with the Registration Statement on Form F-4 for the Issuers with respect to the Notes, and any amendments thereto, including any post-effective amendments (collectively referred to as the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Issuers with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion Letter as Exhibit 5.6 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of Section 11 of the Securities Act or within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Securities Act. Except as set forth above, this Opinion Letter may not be otherwise filed publicly, nor used in connection with any other transaction not contemplated by the Indenture.

Very truly yours,

SCHEDULE 1: DOCUMENTS REVIEWED

We have examined and relied on original or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the documents listed below:

 

(a) a PDF copy of the Indenture, in the form executed on 29 September 2010;

 

(b) a PDF copy of the Supplemental Indenture; and

 

(c) a certificate dated 20 January 2011 of the Australian Guarantor, executed by Neil Anthony Ferguson, as the sole director and sole company secretary of the Australian Guarantor, attaching:

 

  (i) the constitution of the Australian Guarantor;

 

  (ii) the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) certificate of registration of the Australian Guarantor;

 

  (iii) an extract of resolutions of the board of directors of the Australian Guarantor passed on 10 December 2010; and

 

  (iv) an ASIC Form 2602, Notification of financial assistance details, of the Australian Guarantor dated 5 November 2010.

On 23 June 2011, at approximately 9.30 am, we carried out an online computer search (ASIC Search) of the records at ASIC in respect of the Australian Guarantor. These records are not necessarily up-to-date or complete. We have not reviewed or obtained copies of any documents lodged by the Australian Guarantor with respect to the appointment of any directors or company secretaries of the Australian Guarantor or with respect to any other matter relating to the Australian Guarantor.

Except as stated above we have not examined any contracts, instruments or other documents entered into by or affecting the Australian Guarantor or any corporate records of the Australian Guarantor and have not made any other enquiries or searches (public or otherwise) concerning the Australian Guarantor or any of the assets of the Australian Guarantor.

SCHEDULE 2: ASSUMPTIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS

 

1. ASSUMPTIONS

In giving this opinion, we have assumed:

 

(a) that the Australian Guarantor is solvent (meaning that it is able to pay all its debts as and when they become due and payable) at the time of, and immediately after, entry into the Supplemental Indenture. We have also assumed that no transaction in connection with the Supplemental Indenture constitutes an “insolvent transaction” or an “unfair loan” within the meaning of section 588FC or 588FD of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) or an “uncommercial transaction” within the meaning of section 588FB of the Corporations Act or an “unreasonable director related transaction” within the meaning of section 588FDA of the Corporations Act;

 

(b) that no administrator, liquidator, Controller (as defined in the Corporations Act) or similar official has been appointed to the Australian Guarantor or in respect of any of the assets of the Australian Guarantor (and no steps have been taken to appoint any such person, including by passing a resolution or otherwise), and the Australian Guarantor has not obtained any protection from any of its creditors under any law applicable to the Australian Guarantor. The ASIC Search did not disclose any filings in respect of these matters;

 

(c) that each of the assumptions specified in section 129 of the Corporations Act is correct in relation to the Australian Guarantor, the entry by the Australian Guarantor into the Supplemental Indenture and the performance of its obligations under the Supplemental Indenture;

 

(d) that execution of the Supplemental Indenture by the Australian Guarantor occurred in Western Australia;

 

(e) the genuineness of all signatures, seals, dates and markings;

 

(f) the authenticity and completeness of all documents submitted to us as originals;

 

(g) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (whether photocopies, certified copies, facsimile copies or electronic copies);

 

(h) that the Australian Guarantor entered into the Supplemental Indenture in good faith in the best interests of the Australian Guarantor (or, where permitted under section 187 of the Corporations Act, any holding company of the Australian Guarantor), for a proper purpose and the officers of the Australian Guarantor properly performed all of their duties to the Australian Guarantor in connection with the Supplemental Indenture;

 

(i) that all authorisations, filings, registrations or other requirements of government, judicial or public bodies and authorities required under any law (including any Relevant Law) for any party (other than, under any Relevant Law, the Australian Guarantor) to enter into the Supplemental Indenture or perform any of its obligations under the Supplemental Indenture have been obtained, remain valid and subsisting and have been complied with;

 

(j) the power and authority of each of the parties to the Supplemental Indenture (other than the Australian Guarantor) to execute, and their due execution of, the Supplemental Indenture and that the Supplemental Indenture constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, of each party to it under all laws other than, in the case of the Australian Guarantor, the Relevant Laws;

 

4


(k) that the certificates and other documents to which we have referred in this opinion, including the certificate referred to in paragraph (b) of Schedule 1 (and the factual statements in such certificates or documents) remain accurate and that there have been no variations to any such certificates or documents;

 

(l) that each resolution described in the extracts of resolutions referred to in paragraph (b) of Schedule 1 above was duly passed by the director of the Australian Guarantor and nothing has occurred which would bring into doubt the validity of any resolution for any reason, including as a result of any breach of director’s duties, lack of quorum or for any other reason;

 

(m) that no party has contravened or will contravene section 260A or Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act by entering into the Supplemental Indenture or by giving effect to a transaction in connection with the Supplemental Indenture;

 

(n) that if an obligation under the Supplemental Indenture is required to be performed in any jurisdiction other than a Relevant Jurisdiction, the performance of that obligation will not be illegal or unenforceable under the laws of that jurisdiction;

 

(o) that no party to the Supplemental Indenture has engaged or will engage in fraud, misleading, deceptive or unconscionable conduct, the Supplemental Indenture represents the intention of the parties to it and no party has been or will be involved in or a party to any activity or transaction not evident on the face of the Supplemental Indenture which might render the Supplemental Indenture or any related transaction or activity in breach of law, void, voidable or unenforceable;

 

(p) that no party to the Supplemental Indenture (other than the Australian Guarantor) has repudiated its obligations under the Supplemental Indenture or purported to do so, no party to the Supplemental Indenture has accepted the repudiation or termination by any other party of that party's obligations under the Supplemental Indenture and that the Supplemental Indenture has not been amended, supplemented, released, discharged or terminated since the time of its execution;

 

(q) the Australian Guarantor does not enter into the Supplemental Indenture as the trustee of a trust or partner of a partnership;

 

(r) no party to the Supplemental Indenture is a “retail client” as defined in the Corporations Act in respect of the provision of any financial service to that party under the Supplemental Indenture and each party who carries on a financial services business in Australia and who provides financial services in connection with the Supplemental Indenture either:

 

  (i) holds an Australian financial services licence under the Corporations Act covering the provision of those services and is complying with that licence; or

 

  (ii) is exempted from holding such a licence under the Corporations Act;

 

(s) the Code of Banking Practice does not apply to the Supplemental Indenture; and

 

(t) each supplemental indenture referred to in the definition of Indenture in this opinion is, other than with respect to the parties, in substantially the same form as the Supplemental Indenture.

We have assumed that any law other than a Relevant Law which may apply with respect to the transactions and matters contemplated by the Supplemental Indenture would not affect any of the conclusions stated in this opinion and we express no opinion on the law of any jurisdiction other than the Relevant Jurisdictions. We express no opinion on any pending legislative change in any Relevant Jurisdiction or any pending decision of a court in any Relevant Jurisdiction. We express no opinion as to matters of fact.

 

5


We have not taken any action to verify any of the assumptions above other than conducting the ASIC Search. However, the Allen & Overy partner and lawyer in our Australian offices primarily responsible for this matter (namely Angela Flannery and Xi Yang) have no actual knowledge that these assumptions are incorrect.

 

2. QUALIFICATIONS

This opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

(a) This opinion is subject to all insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, administration, moratorium, reorganisation and other laws affecting the rights of creditors (including secured creditors) generally.

 

(b) We express no opinion as to the exact interpretation which would be placed on any particular wording in the Supplemental Indenture by a court of a Relevant Jurisdiction, provided this does not affect our opinion in paragraph 2(c).

 

(c) Clauses providing for interest to be paid on overdue amounts may amount, at least in part, to a penalty under the laws of the Relevant Jurisdictions and may not be enforceable.

 

(d) A court of a Relevant Jurisdiction may stay proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

 

(e) There could be circumstances in which a court of a Relevant Jurisdiction would not treat as conclusive those certificates, calculations and determinations which the Supplemental Indenture state are to be so treated.

 

(f) The effectiveness of terms exculpating a party from a liability or duty otherwise owed (including liability arising out of the non-payment of stamp duty) is limited by law.

 

(g) Any clause or term of the Supplemental Indenture which purports to sever a provision of the Supplemental Indenture may not be effective as a court of a Relevant Jurisdiction may determine itself whether any provision is severable.

 

(h) A court of a Relevant Jurisdiction may, in its discretion, determine the enforceability of:

 

  (i) a provision requiring written waivers and amendments (to the exclusion of oral waivers and amendments, or amendments and waivers effected in another way, including by conduct); or

 

  (ii) any obligation to negotiate in good faith.

 

(i) The use of the term “enforceable” in relation to a document means that document is of a type and form ordinarily enforced by the courts of the Relevant Jurisdictions. It does not mean that each obligation will be enforced in accordance with its terms. Certain rights and obligations may be qualified by the non-conclusivity of certificates, doctrines of good faith and fair conduct, statutory prohibitions of misleading, deceptive or unconscionable conduct and other matters.

 

(j) Equitable remedies such as specific performance or the issue of an injunction are available only at the discretion of the court. Specific performance is not usually granted, and an injunction is not usually issued, where damages would be an adequate alternative.

 

(k) Enforcement in a court of a Relevant Jurisdiction of the Supplemental Indenture is also subject to:

 

6


  (i) claims becoming barred under statutes imposing limited periods within which proceedings may be brought;

 

  (ii) the general common law doctrines of estoppel in relation to representations, acts or omissions of creditors and of frustration;

 

  (iii) defences of set-off, abatement and counterclaim; and

 

  (iv) the requirement that any discretion be exercised reasonably and that any determination of a matter in a party’s opinion be based on reasonable grounds.

 

(l) We express no opinion as to any provision of the Supplemental Indenture to the extent it purports to declare or impose a trust in respect of any payments or assets received by any person.

 

(m) We express no opinion as to whether a monetary judgment would be given in a court of a Relevant Jurisdiction in a currency other than Australian dollars or the enforceability of any currency indemnity.

 

(n) A court of a Relevant Jurisdiction will not give effect to a choice of law in the Supplemental Indenture if it would be contrary to public policy to do so.

 

(o) The courts of the Relevant Jurisdictions do not necessarily give full effect to an indemnity for legal costs or the costs of litigation and may award costs, even as against a successful party.

 

(p) Laws and regulations in Australia prohibit or restrict dealings with the assets of persons and entities considered to be associated with terrorism and any transactions with, or on behalf of, those persons and entities and restrict certain payments to, or transactions in relation to, a person or entity against whom the Commonwealth of Australia has imposed economic, political or other international sanctions.

 

(q) We express no opinion as to the accuracy or relevance of any representation, warranty or other statement in the Supplemental Indenture.

 

(r) The Commissioner of Taxation has power to require a deduction from any payment to any party under the Supplemental Indenture of an amount in respect of that party’s Australian tax related liabilities. In addition, withholding tax may be withheld from payments to non-Australian residents or residents carrying on a business on, at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia or that do not provide a tax file number or Australian Business Number, in any case, under the Supplemental Indenture.

 

(s) We express no opinion as to whether goods and services tax is payable in connection with the Supplemental Indenture or whether any tax is required to be withheld, deducted or paid by any party to the Supplemental Indenture.

 

(t) An undertaking to assume liability for, or to provide an indemnity in respect of a breach of law or other matter may not be enforceable if enforcement would be contrary to public policy.

 

(u) The courts of the Relevant Jurisdictions have a discretion to refuse to exercise jurisdiction in certain circumstances, including where the court determines that there is a more appropriate forum or that any orders it makes may not be effective.

(formerly Pinafore, Inc.) and Tomkins, LLC (formerly Pinafore, LLC) and the guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) by the Note Guarantors (as named in the Indenture) under an Indenture dated as of September 29, 2010, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (collectively, and including the 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018, the “Indenture”) entered into among the Issuers, the Note Guarantors named therein, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent, and pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 24, 2011.

1.1. Our legal advice was provided pursuant to the laws of the Federative Republic of Brazil (“Brazil”), as the Indenture was secured by a Brazilian security package composed of (i) the fiduciary sale of all quotas issued by Schrader International Brasil Ltda.


(“Schrader Brasil”) (“Quota Fiduciary Sale”), and (ii) the pledge of rights related to certain bank accounts held by Schrader Brazil (“Pledge of Rights”), as security for the performance of the Secured Obligations, as defined in the Quota Fiduciary Sale and the Pledge of Rights (the Quota Fiduciary Sale and the Pledge of Rights are collectively referred to as the “Security”).

2. In connection therewith, we have examined the following documents:

(i) an executed copy of the Indenture;

We have also reviewed such matters of law as we have considered relevant for the purpose of this opinion. This opinion is based solely on the documents provided to us.

4. Unless the context shall otherwise require or except as otherwise expressly provided herein, terms defined and expressions used herein shall have the same respective meanings assigned to them in the Transaction Documents.

5. We express no opinion as to any law other than the laws of Brazil and we have assumed that there is nothing in any other law that affects our opinion. In particular, we have made no independent investigation of any foreign law as a basis for the opinions stated herein and do not express or imply any opinion on such laws. We are qualified to practice in Brazil, and the opinions stated herein relate only to the laws of Brazil as in force at the date hereof.

6. Based on the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

6.1. Schrader Brasil has been duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of Brazil, with power and authority (i) to carry on its activities, (ii) to enter into the Indenture, and (iii) perform its obligations in connection with the Indenture.

6.2. Schrader Brasil has (i) all necessary corporate power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, the Indenture, (ii) taken all corporate action required to authorize the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations, under the Indenture, and (iii) duly executed and delivered the Indenture.

 

3


6.3. The Indenture constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Schrader Brasil, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

7. The opinions set forth above are, however, subject to certain reservations, namely:

(i) enforcement of the obligations of Schrader Brasil may be limited by insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, bankruptcy and reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors and to general equity principles;

(ii) in case of insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, bankruptcy and/or judicial or extrajudicial reorganization of Schrader Brasil, certain credits, such as post-petition and super-priority claims, motions for restitution, and credits for salaries and wages (subject to applicable cap and limitations) shall have preference over other credits, including secured ones , as applicable; and

(iii) in case of proceedings instituted against Schrader Brasil in Brazil, certain court costs and deposits to guarantee judgment might be due.

8. We express no opinion as to any agreement, instrument or other document other than as specified in this letter.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re: ACD Tridon Inc., Ruskin Company Canada Inc. and Tomkins Automotive Canada Limited – Guarantee and Indenture

We have acted as special Ontario counsel to ACD Tridon Inc. (“ACD”), Ruskin Company Canada Inc. (“Ruskin”) and Tomkins Automotive Canada Limited (“Tomkins” and collectively with ACD and Ruskin, the “Canadian Grantors”) in connection with an indenture dated as at September 29, 2010 (the “Indenture”) among Tomkins, LLC (formerly known as Pinafore, LLC) and Tomkins, Inc. (formerly known as Pinafore, Inc.) (collectively, the “Issuers”), Pinafore Holdings, B.V. (“Holdings”), Wilmington Trust FSB (“Wilmington”), as trustee and collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) and the other parties thereto, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of November 18, 2010 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”) between the Canadian Grantors, the Issuers and the Collateral Agent pursuant to which, among other things, the Canadian Grantors each became a party to the Indenture and provided a guarantee of the Issuers’ obligations under the Issuers’ 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Securities”) and, by the second supplemental indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the third supplemental indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the fourth supplemental indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the fifth supplemental indenture dated as of February 23, 2011, the sixth supplemental indenture dated as of February 24, 2011 and the seventh supplemental indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (collectively, the “Subsequent Supplemental Indentures”).

In such capacity, we have received a copy of the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture.

We do not regularly act as counsel to the Canadian Grantors, nor have we participated in the general maintenance of, nor conducted any review of, their corporate records and corporate proceedings. Therefore, in expressing certain of the opinions below, we have relied exclusively on a certificate of an authorized signatory of each of the Canadian Grantors certifying what purport to be true and accurate copies of each of the Canadian Grantors’ constating documents and by-laws, as well as a copy of the resolutions passed by the respective boards of directors in connection with the transactions referred to herein, as well as certificates of public officials and others and originals, copies or facsimiles of such other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable as a basis for


Page 2

 

the opinions expressed below. In particular, as to certain matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed below, we have relied on certificates of an authorized signatory of each of the Canadian Grantors (the “Officer’s Certificates”) dated the date hereof and dated November 18, 2010, without making any independent verification or inquiry.

For the purposes of our opinion expressed in paragraph 1 below as to the existence of Ruskin, we have relied solely on a certificate of compliance dated June 23, 2011, issued by the Director or a Deputy Director appointed under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) in respect of Ruskin, without any independent verification or inquiry. For the purposes of our opinion expressed in paragraph 2 below as to the existence of ACD and Tomkins, we have relied solely on certificates of status dated June 23, 2011, issued by the Ontario Ministry of Government Services in respect of each of ACD and Tomkins, without any independent verification or inquiry.

For the purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed, without any independent verification or inquiry:

 

  (a) the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all individuals other than the Canadian Grantors (based solely on our review of the resolutions appended to each of the Officer’s Certificates), the authenticity of all original documents and the conformity to originals of all copies of documents reviewed by us, including copies received by facsimile and e-mail transmission;

 

  (b) that each of the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Subsequent Supplemental Indentures, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation under the laws of the State of New York (“New York Law”) (in accordance with which it is expressed to be governed) of each party thereto, enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms;

 

  (c) that the provisions of each of the Indenture, the First Supplemental Indenture and the Subsequent Supplemental Indentures would be interpreted and understood under New York Law to have the same meaning and content as they would have under the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in such province;

 

  (d) that there have been no erroneous statements of fact made in any certificates of public officials, and we have relied on the completeness and accuracy of the public records and the currency of the information contained therein as of the dates indicated therein, although such records are known on occasion to contain errors and to be otherwise incomplete;

 

  (e) that the Indenture has not been amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived in any respect or in any manner, whether in writing, orally or by conduct, by any of the parties thereto since September 29, 2010, except as set out in the First Supplemental Indenture and the Subsequent Supplemental Indentures; and

 

  (f) that the First Supplemental Indenture has not been amended, modified, supplemented, terminated or waived in any respect or in any manner, whether in writing, orally or by conduct, by any of the parties thereto since November 18, 2010, except as set out in the Subsequent Supplemental Indentures

The opinions expressed below are limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein in effect as of the date hereof (“Applicable Laws”) and we express no opinion as to any laws, or any matters governed by any laws, other than Applicable Laws.


Page 3

 

Based and relying on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

1. Ruskin (a) is a corporation duly incorporated and validly subsisting under the laws of Canada and has not been dissolved and (b) has the corporate power and capacity to enter into the First Supplemental Indenture and perform its obligations under the First Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture.

2. Each of ACD and Tomkins (a) is a corporation duly incorporated and validly subsisting under the laws of the province of Ontario and has not been dissolved and (b) has the corporate power and capacity to enter into the First Supplemental Indenture and perform its obligations under the First Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture.

3. The execution and delivery of the First Supplemental Indenture and performance by each of the Canadian Grantors of the First Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture has been authorized by all necessary corporate action on its part. The First Supplemental Indenture has been duly executed by each of the Canadian Grantors, and to the extent that Applicable Laws apply to such delivery, has been delivered by it.

2. Parties

 

  (a) To the extent that the obligations of each of the English Guarantors under the Indenture may be dependent upon such matters, that with respect to any party (other than, to the extent expressly set out in the opinions in this letter in relation to the English Guarantors), such party:

 

  (i) is duly organised, validly existing and in good standing (where such concept is legally relevant) under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation;

 

6

7


  (c) that the Indenture has been entered into in good faith and on bona fide commercial terms and on arms’ length terms and for the purpose of carrying on each of the English Guarantors’ business and that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the giving of the guarantees in the Indenture by each of the English Guarantor will promote such English Guarantor’s success for the benefit of the members as a whole.

 

4. Representations and warranties

That all statements of fact and representations and warranties contained in or made in connection with any of the documents examined by us were true and correct as at the date given and are true and correct at today’s date and no fact was omitted therefrom which would have made any of such facts, representations or warranties incorrect or misleading.

6. Filings, approvals, consents etc.

That no consents, approvals, authorisations, orders, licences, registrations, filings or similar formalities are required from any governmental or regulatory authority in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture by any of the parties thereto or if such consents, approvals, authorisations, orders, licences, registrations, filings or similar formalities are required, these have been made or will be made within the prescribed time limits.

(e) We express no opinion as to the correctness of any representation given by any of the parties (express or implied) under or by virtue of the Documents, save if and insofar as the matters represented are the subject matter of a specific opinion herein.

 

(f) In rendering this opinion we have exclusively examined the documents listed in the Schedule and we have conducted such investigations of Netherlands law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of giving this opinion letter; as to matters of fact we have relied on the documents listed in the Schedule and any other document we have deemed relevant, and on statements or certificates of public officials.

OPINION

Due incorporation

 

(a) The Company has been validly incorporated and is existing as a private limited liability company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) under Netherlands law.

5/9

Corporate authority

 

(d) The execution by each of the Company and the Limited Partnership of the Opinion Document and the performance by each of the Company and the Limited Partnership of their obligations thereunder have been authorised by all corporate action required to be taken by each of the Company and the Limited Partnership under Netherlands corporate law, the Articles of Association or, as the case may be, the Limited Partnership Agreement.

Due execution

 

(e) Assuming that the signature appearing on the Opinion Document on behalf of the Company is the signature of Donald West the Opinion Document has been validly executed on behalf of the Company in accordance with Netherlands law.

 

(f) Assuming that the signature appearing on the Opinion Document on behalf of the Limited Partnership is the signature of the authorised representative of the General Partner, the Opinion Document have been validly executed on behalf of the Limited Partnership in accordance with Netherlands law.

QUALIFICATIONS

7. Our opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

 

(a) a commanditaire vennootschap under the laws of the Netherlands is not a legal person (rechtspersoon) and references in this opinion letter to the Limited Partnership are to the collectivity of its partners and references in this opinion letter to the execution, delivery or performance of obligations under the Limited Partnership Guarantee by the Limited Partnership are to the execution, delivery or performance of obligations by its General Partner in its capacity as the general partner of the Limited Partnership;

 

(b)

under Netherlands rules of conflicts of law a corporation (corporatie), which expression in this context includes a limited partnership or commanditaire vennootschap (such as the Limited Partnership), is governed by Netherlands law, if the agreement by which the limited partnership was established provides that its official seat (zetel) is in the Netherlands. The Limited Partnership Agreement provides that the seat of the Limited Partnership is in the Netherlands. However, since Netherlands law on partnerships does not require a partnership to maintain a seat or specify a seat in the agreement by which it is formed, there is room for the

 

6/9


 

argument that the seat specified in the Limited Partnership Agreement is not an official seat (zetel) and is not sufficient to cause the Limited Partnership to be governed by Netherlands law. This argument should not prevail, provided that at the time when the Limited Partnership was formed the centre of their external activities (centrum van optreden naar buiten) was situated in the Netherlands;

 

(c) our opinion is subject to and limited by the provisions of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, suspension of payments, emergency and other similar rules and laws of general application relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies from time to time in effect; no opinion is given or implied herein that if Insolvency Proceedings would be opened with respect to the Company and the Limited Partnership, such Insolvency Proceedings would be opened in the Netherlands or be governed by Netherlands law; no opinion is given or implied herein on the effects of any foreign laws that may apply in such Insolvency Proceedings pursuant to the Insolvency Regulation or otherwise;

 

(d) a power of attorney (volmacht) or mandate (lastgeving) (i) can under Netherlands law only be made irrevocable to the extent its object is the performance of juridical acts (rechtshandelingen) in the interest of the representative appointed thereby or of a third party (and subject to the power of the court to amend or disapply the provisions by which it is made irrevocable for serious reasons (gewichtige redenen) and (ii) will terminate or become ineffective upon Insolvency Proceedings being opened under Netherlands law with respect to the issuer thereof (irrespective of the law applicable to the power of attorney).

BENEFIT OF OPINION

8. This opinion is made for the benefit of and may be relied upon by the addressees hereof. This opinion also may be relied upon by Latham & Watkins LLP in the issuance of its opinion letter in connection with the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, including any post-effective amendments to be filed by Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act. We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the prospectus contained under the caption “Legal Matters”. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of the Act or within the category of persons whose consent is required by the Act.

We express no opinion as to any matters other than those expressly set forth herein, and no opinion is, or may be, implied or inferred herefrom. We express no opinion as to matters of fact. This legal opinion is strictly limited to the Indenture and does not relate to any extent to any other agreement or matter;

LUTHER

 

G. Luxembourg legal concepts are defined in their original French terms used in Luxembourg laws so that the legal concepts used in the Indenture may not be identical to the Luxembourg legal concepts. Luxembourg Courts may require that decisions granted in other jurisdictions than the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg or any documents tabled as evidence before Luxembourg Courts be translated into French and German language.

This opinion shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Luxembourg law. The Courts of Luxembourg shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute among the parties hereto arising in connection with this opinion.

In addition, we have examined and have relied on originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records, documents and other instruments of the Companies, as we have deemed necessary for the opinion rendered below. We have not undertaken any independent investigations before any public registries or governmental agencies.

We have assumed, without any independent investigation or verification of any kind, (i) the authenticity and genuineness of all signatures on the documents reviewed by us in connection herewith, other than with respect to the Companies, (ii) the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Indenture governed by laws other than Mexican laws, under such laws, and that neither the execution of the Indenture nor the performance of the transactions contemplated thereby contravene or are rendered invalid, non binding or unenforceable by any applicable law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the United Mexican States (“Mexico”), (iii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and related documents by the parties thereto (other than the Companies), (iv) that the by-laws (estatutos sociales) of the Companies contained in the public deeds described in item (b) above have not been further amended and are duly recorded with the Public Registry of Commerce of the corporate domicile of each Company, (v) that each of the powers-of-attorney included in the public deeds described in item (c) above has not been revoked or modified, (vi) the legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Indenture, (vii) the accuracy of the representations and warranties (except the representations (other than factual representations) relating to the Companies) in the Indenture, (viii) that all approvals that are necessary for the validity or enforceability of the Indenture (other than approvals required under the Companies’ bylaws and laws of Mexico), have been obtained and are in full force and effect, (ix) the authenticity of the Indenture and all opinions, documents and papers submitted to us as originals, other than with respect to the Companies, and (x) that copies of all opinions, documents and papers submitted to us are complete and conform to the originals thereof.

We have made no independent investigation of the laws other than the laws of Mexico as a basis for the opinion stated herein and have assumed that there is nothing in any such laws that affects our opinion.

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Companies has been duly incorporated and each of them validly exists as a sociedad anónima de capital variable under the laws of México.

2. Each of the Companies has the power and authority to enter into the Fifth Supplemental Indenture to become a party under the Indenture and has taken all necessary corporate actions to authorize

 

3


the execution and delivery of the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, and has duly authorized the signatories named therein in its corporate authorizations referred in item (c) above to execute the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

3. The Companies have duly executed and delivered the Fifth Supplemental Indenture.

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(a) Enforcement of the Indenture against the Companies may be limited by bankruptcy, concurso mercantil, tax, labour, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, moratorium and other laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally;

(b) In any proceeding brought in the courts of Mexico for the enforcement of the Indenture or any judgment related thereto obtained in a foreign jurisdiction against the Companies, a Mexican court would apply Mexican procedural law in such proceedings.

(c) In the event that proceedings are brought in Mexico seeking performance of the Companies’ obligations in Mexico, pursuant to the Mexican Monetary Law, the Companies may discharge its obligations, by paying any sums due in a currency other than Mexican currency, in Mexican currency at the rate of exchange prevailing in Mexico on the date when payment is made and, therefore, any judgment currency or currency indemnity provision contained in the Indenture may not be enforceable in Mexico.

(d) In the event that any legal proceedings are brought to the courts of Mexico, a Spanish translation of the documents required in such proceedings prepared by a court-approved translator would have to be approved by the court after the defendant had been given an opportunity to be heard with respect to the accuracy of the translations, and proceedings would thereafter be based upon the translated documents.

(e) Under the laws of Mexico labor claims, claims of tax authorities for unpaid taxes, Social Security quotas, Workers’ Housing Fund quotas and Retirement Fund quotas will have priority over claims under the Indenture.

(f) Provisions of the Indenture granting discretionary authority to the Trustee cannot be exercised in a manner inconsistent with relevant facts nor defeat any requirement from a competent authority to produce satisfactory evidence as to the basis of any determination; in addition, under Mexican law, each of the Companies will have the right to contest in court any notice or certificate of the Trustee purporting to be conclusive and binding.

(g) We express no opinion as to the collection of interest on interest.

(h) Any provision in the Indenture to the effect that invalidity and illegality of any part thereof will not invalidate the remaining obligations of the Indenture may be unenforceable in Mexico to the extent that such provision constitutes an essential element of the Indenture.

(i) We express no opinion as regards the enforceability of a right of set-off as regards to indirect, contingent or un-matured obligations and liabilities under the Indenture.

(j) The taking of possession, entry, removal, sale, transfer or other disposition of property or similar action in Mexico pursuant to the Indenture may not be made in Mexico without judicial intervention after the defendant is given the right to be heard and defeated in court.

(k) With respect to provisions contained in the Indenture in connection with service of process, it should be noted that service of process by mail does not constitute personal service of process under Mexican law and, since such service is considered to be a basic procedural requirement, if for purposes of proceedings outside Mexico, service of process is made by mail, a final judgment based on such process would not be enforced by the courts of Mexico.

 

4


(l) In a suit brought before Mexican courts, such courts would apply Mexican law on statutes of limitation (prescripción). We express no opinion as to the enforceability in Mexico of a foreign judgment deriving from a lawsuit initiated after the applicable Mexican statute of limitation period has elapsed.

(m) We note that procedural rights cannot be validly waived under Mexican law.

(o) A Mexican court may stay proceeding held in such court if concurrent proceedings are being held elsewhere.

(p) We express no opinion in respect of the availability of self-help or other non-judicial remedies under Mexican law.

(q) Claims may become barred under statutes of limitation or may become subject to defences or set-off or counter claim.

(r) Under the laws of Mexico, the obligations of a guarantor may not exceed the obligations of the main obligor.

We are qualified to practice law only in Mexico and we express no opinion with regard to the laws of any jurisdiction other than Mexico. This opinion is effective as of the date hereof. We express no opinion as to rights, obligations or other matters (including change of law or circumstances) arising subsequent to the date hereof.

This opinion is made for the benefit of and may be relied upon by the addressees thereof. This opinion also may be relied upon by Latham & Watkins LLP in the issuance of its opinion letter in connection with the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, including any post-effective amendments to be filed by Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name in the prospectus contained under the caption “Legal Matters”. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are “experts” within the meaning of the Securities Act or within the category of persons whose consent is required by the Securities Act.

Very truly yours,

Re: Registration Statement in respect of the Notes

Dear Sirs,

We act as special counsel to Tomkins, Inc. (formerly Pinafore, Inc.) and Tomkins, LLC (formerly, Tomkins, LLC) (together, the “Issuers”) and Schrader Electronics Limited, a company incorporated in Northern Ireland with registration number NI 025720 (the “Company”), in connection with a registration statement on Form F-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on 24 June, 2011 (the “Registration Statement”) relating to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”) issued by the Issuers and the guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) by the Company under an Indenture dated as of September 29, 2010, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (collectively, the “Indenture”) entered into among the Issuers, the Guarantors named therein (including the Company), and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”) and collateral agent.

We are giving this opinion for the sole purpose of filing of the Registration Statement. We give this opinion on the basis and subject to the comments, assumptions and qualifications set out below.

 

1. Basis of Opinion

 

  1A

This opinion is furnished to and may be relied upon by you for your own benefit in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and may not be relied

 

Page : 1


 

upon or used by any other person or entity without our prior written consent. This opinion may, however, be relied upon by Latham & Watkins LLP in the issuance of its opinion letter in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, including any post-effective amendments to be filed by the Issuers. This opinion may not be transmitted, referred to, quoted from, circulated, copied, filed with, disseminated or disclosed by or to any other person or entity for any purposes without our prior written consent, provided however that a copy of this opinion may be provided to the Commission as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

  1B This opinion is confined to and given in all respects with respect to Northern Irish law in force as at the date hereof as currently applied by the Northern Irish courts (excluding any foreign law to which reference may be made under the rules of the private international law of the United Kingdom). In particular, we express no opinion on the laws of New York or on European Community law as it affects any jurisdiction other than Northern Ireland or any matter of fact. We express no opinion as to the effect of events occurring, circumstances arising or changes of law becoming effective or occurring, after today’s date on the matters addressed in this opinion letter, and we assume no responsibility to inform you of additional or changed facts, or changes in law, of which we may become aware.

 

  1C This opinion is also strictly confined to the matters stated herein and is not to be read as extending, by implication or otherwise, to any other matter.

 

  1D For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have examined the following executed documents (the “Documents”) which term shall mean all or any such documents as appropriate:

 

  (i) an emailed copy of the Indenture, whereby the Company became a party to the Indenture as a New Guarantor;

 

  (ii) an emailed copy of the Registration Statement;

 

  (iii) an emailed copy of a power of attorney dated 15 November 2010 appointing the persons named therein (each an “Attorney”) to act individually as the Company’s attorneys (the “Power of Attorney”);

 

  (iv) copies of the certificate of incorporation, certificate of incorporation on change of name (if any) and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company;

 

  (v) an emailed copy of an officer’s certificate dated 18 November 2010 (the “Officer’s Certificate”) of the Company containing confirmations of various matters relating to the Company and, inter alia:

 

  (a) an emailed copy of a written shareholder resolution dated 17 November 2010 of the Company approving the terms of, the transactions contemplated by and the entry into the Indenture and amending the Company’s Articles of Association; and

 

Page : 2


  (b) an emailed copy of a written resolution of all the directors of the Company dated 15 November 2010, inter alia, approving the terms of, and the transactions contemplated by the Indenture,

and we would stress that for the purpose of issuing this opinion we have placed particular reliance upon the statements and representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in or made pursuant to each of the above mentioned Documents but we express no opinion as to whether any such statements or representations and warranties are true or accurate.

 

  1E For the purpose of giving this opinion, we have inspected the following search reports:

 

  (i) on 23 June 2011 on the file of the Company maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Belfast for mortgages, debentures or similar charges or notices thereof and for the appointment of any receiver, administrator or liquidator;

 

  (ii) on 23 June 2011 in the Chancery Office of the High Court in Belfast, Northern Ireland for any proceedings or petitions filed in the last two years against the Company;

 

  (iii) on 23 June 2011 in the Enforcement of Judgments Office in Belfast, Northern Ireland for unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees and the like in relation to the Company.

 

  1F We have not conducted any other searches whatsoever in relation to the Company whether relating to land, property or other assets or otherwise nor have we carried out any due diligence or made any further enquiries and accordingly, this opinion is given on the assumption that such searches, due diligence or enquiries (if made) would not reveal any circumstances which would require amendment of this opinion. Furthermore, one cannot rely entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed in the searches referred to in paragraph 1E above. This is because such searches do not necessarily contain completely up-to-date information and do not necessarily reveal whether or not a resolution has been passed or petition presented or any other action taken for the winding up of, or the appointment of a receiver or administrator of or to the Company.

 

2. Assumptions

For the purpose of giving this opinion we have made the following assumptions (without any responsibility on our part if any assumption proves to be untrue or incorrect) which we have taken no steps to verify independently.

 

  (i) All Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic, accurate and complete as at the date hereof.

 

Page : 3


  (ii) All Documents supplied to us as photocopies, facsimile transmitted copies, email transmitted copies or other copies conform to the originals and such originals are authentic, accurate and complete as at the date hereof and the original (if applicable) was executed in the manner appearing on the copy and also the Documents are in identical form to the final drafts submitted to, or by, us.

 

  (iii) The genuineness, completeness and authenticity of all signatures and seals on all original and copy documents which we have examined and the Documents have been delivered by the relevant parties and are not subject to any escrow or other similar arrangement.

 

  (iv) That the person or persons who executed the Indenture on behalf of the Company (or attested the affixing of the seal) are the person(s) who were authorised to do so by the relevant board resolutions and that any seal affixed to same by such Company is genuine.

 

  (v) The Documents contain all relevant information which is material for the purposes of our opinion and there is no other agreement, undertaking, representation or warranty (oral or written) and no other arrangement (whether legally binding or not) made by or between all or any of the parties or any other matter which renders such information inaccurate, incomplete or misleading or which affects the conclusions stated in this opinion letter.

 

  (vi) The truth, completeness and accuracy of all statements as to factual matters contained in the Documents at the time they were made and all times thereafter.

 

  (vii) That the copies produced to us of extracts of minutes of meetings of the Company and/or of resolutions of the Company are true copies and correctly record the proceedings at such meetings and/or the subject matter which they purport to record; and that any meetings referred to in such copies were duly convened and held and quorate, that those directors present at any such meetings were entitled to attend and vote and acted bona fide throughout and declared their interest as directors pursuant to Section 177 and Section 182 of the Companies Act 2006 and that all directors present at meetings of the board of directors of the Company approving the Indenture were duly appointed and had not resigned or been removed from office and that all resolutions set out in such copies were duly passed and that no further resolutions have been passed or corporate or other action taken which would or might alter the effectiveness thereof.

 

  (viii)

The Indenture has been entered into for bona fide commercial reasons for the purpose of legitimately carrying on its business and on arms length terms by the Company and the Company has received adequate commercial benefit as a result of entering into the Indenture and will continue to receive adequate commercial benefit for the duration of same (such commercial benefit being available to the Company in its own right and not merely by reference to benefit generally among the group of companies of which the Company is part), and the directors of the

 

Page : 4


 

Company considered in detail the commercial justification for the execution and delivery of the Indenture, the commercial benefit which would be received by the Company and the matters set out in Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006, and the directors of the Company in good faith reasonably concluded that such Company would receive adequate commercial benefit as a result of entering into the same and to do so was commercially justified. These are matters of fact on which we express no opinion.

 

  (ix) The Company is able to pay its debts (within the meaning of Article 103 of the Insolvency (Northern Ireland) Order 1989) or any analogous legislation in any relevant jurisdiction at the time of entering into the Indenture and will not become unable to pay its debts in consequence of doing so.

 

  (x) Save for any matters revealed by the searches referred to at paragraph 1E of this letter, the Company has not passed a resolution for its winding up and no proceedings have been instituted or steps taken for the winding up of the Company or for the appointment of an administrator or a receiver in respect of all or any assets of such Company.

 

  (xi) The accuracy and completeness of the information disclosed in the searches referred to in paragraph 1E above and that such information has not since the time of such search or enquiry been altered and that all matters which should be registered with Companies Registry at the date of this opinion have been duly registered against the Company and appear on the searches referred to at 1E (i) above. In this connection, it should be noted that searches at the Companies Registry in Belfast will not necessarily reveal whether or not a prior charge has been created or a resolution has been passed or a petition presented or any other action taken for the winding up of, or the appointment of a receiver, a liquidator, an administrator or an administrative receiver of the Company. Further, the searches referred to at 1E(ii) and (iii) are not conclusively capable of revealing whether or not a winding up petition has been presented, since there is a delay between the presentation of a petition and the date when details of the petition are entered on the relevant records.

 

  (xii) The business which the Company actually carries on is within the terms of its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

 

  (xiii) None of the directors or the secretary of the Company is a person who is disqualified from acting as a director or from managing companies pursuant to the provisions of the Companies (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 or the Company Directors Disqualification (Northern Ireland) Order 2002.

 

  (xiv) The Company is not in arrears with any filings required to be made with Companies Registry in Belfast including, without limitation, the filing of the special resolutions referred to in paragraph 1D above, the filing of notification of the appointment of its directors and secretary and of its annual returns and that the names of the directors, secretary and shareholders of the Company contained in the searches referred to at paragraph 1E (i) are correct and complete.

 

Page : 5


  (xv) The written resolutions referred to at paragraph 1D have been duly signed for and on behalf of the corporate shareholder (other than those corporate shareholders incorporated in Northern Ireland).

 

  (xvi) The Indenture has been validly executed by the Company in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (being the governing law of the Indenture).

 

  (xvii) The Power of Attorney has not been revoked and remains in full force and effect.

 

3. Qualifications

The opinion set out below is subject to the qualifications set out below.

 

  (i) We have not carried out any investigation or due diligence whatsoever in relation to the Company save as set out in paragraphs 1D and 1E above and this opinion is expressly given upon the terms that no further document is to be examined by us, that no further investigation or due diligence in respect of any matter which may appear on the files of the Company at Companies Registry in Belfast after the date of the above search or which may have appeared on the files of the Company prior to the date of the above search but was not available for actual inspection by us as of such date is required of us by you.

 

4. Opinion

On the basis of and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out above, we are of the opinion that:

Status, capacity and authority

 

  4A The Company is a limited liability company and is duly incorporated under the laws of Northern Ireland with power and authority to own its own assets and conduct its business.

 

  4B The Company has the necessary corporate capacity under its Memorandum and Articles of Association to execute and deliver the Indenture and to perform its obligations under the Indenture. The execution and performance by the Company of the Indenture does not cause any constitutional limit on the Company or on the powers of the board to be exceeded.

 

  4C All necessary corporate action required on the part of the Company to authorise the execution of the Indenture and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Indenture have been taken.

Execution

 

  4D Based solely on the confirmations in the Officer’s Certificate, the board resolutions referred to in paragraph 1D above and the Power of Attorney, the Indenture has been duly signed for and on behalf of the Company.

 

Yours faithfully,

  /s/ Arthur Cox

  Re: Registration Statement on Form F-4 relating to the $1,150,000,000 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “New Notes”) of Pinafore, LLC and Pinafore, Inc. (together, the “Issuers”)

Dear Sirs:

The New Notes and the guarantees thereof are to be issued pursuant to the terms of the indenture dated 29 September 2010 as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011, the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011, filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement and entered into between, among others, the Issuers, the Guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust FSB as trustee (collectively, the “Indenture”). Upon the Registration Statement becoming effective pursuant to the Securities Act, the Issuer will offer to exchange up to $1,150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes and the related Guarantees for up to $1,150,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Issuer’s outstanding 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Existing Notes”) and the related Guarantees thereof.

This letter is being rendered to you pursuant to Form F-4 and Reg S-K Item 601(b)(5) of the Securities Act.

The terms defined in the Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have the same meanings when used in this letter.

With respect to any references herein as to legal or governmental proceedings, approvals, consents or judgments, awards, orders, decrees, permits, licenses, authorizations, registrations, declarations or filings we have, with your consent, made no inspection of the records or dockets of any court, tribunal or governmental agency or body, but instead have relied upon inquiries and discussions with officers and other representatives of the Russian Guarantor responsible for such matters, our review of documents furnished to us by the Russian Guarantor and certificates of appropriate public officials and officers and representatives of the Russian Guarantor. We have not independently verified such factual or legal matters.

This letter and the matters addressed herein speak as of the date hereof or such earlier date as is specified herein, and we undertake no, and hereby disclaim any, obligation to advise you of any change in any matter set forth herein, whether based on a change in the law, a change in any fact relating to the Russian Guarantor or any other person, or any other circumstance.

hereof; (ii) the adoption after the date hereof of retroactive federal legislation by authorized officials of the Russian Federation; (iii) an application after the date hereof of any federal legislation by authorized officials in a manner inconsistent with a previous application thereof; (iv) conflicts between federal laws; (v) conflicts between federal, regional and local legislation; or (vi) a breach of law or regulation in circumstances in which the Russian Guarantor, its shareholders, directors or officers interpreted applicable laws and regulations following general business practices current in the Russian market at the time they were made in the bona fide and reasonable belief that such practices were not contrary to the federal legislation. Furthermore, we express no opinion as to the interpretation by any court of the Russian Federation of Russian legislation or regulations. Any reference in this letter to the laws of the Russian Federation, Russian law or Applicable Laws are limited as set forth in this paragraph.

We express no opinion as to whether a court in the Russian Federation will give effect to the tax gross-up provision contained in the Indenture.

  3. Opinions and Confirmations

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

  (a) Based solely on our inspection of the Charter, the Extract and the Certificates, the Russian Guarantor is a legal entity registered and existing in the form of a limited liability company under the Applicable Laws.

 

  (b) The Russian Guarantor has the corporate capacity, power and authority to enter into the Indenture and perform its obligations thereunder.

 

  (c) Peter Verdonckt, General Director of the Russian Guarantor, and Kirill Khaliavin, Chief Accountant of the Russian Guarantor, were duly authorised to sign the Indenture on behalf of the Russian Guarantor and their signatures are binding on the Russian Guarantor.

 

  4. Qualifications

The opinions and confirmations in this letter are subject to the following limitations, qualifications and exceptions:

 

  (a)

The state of legislation of the Russian Federation governing economic activities is constantly changing, is uncertain and reflects the transition that the Russian economy and the Russian government are undergoing. These factors sometimes cause rapid

 

Page 5


LOGO

 

 

change in applicable laws, failure or delay in adopting implementing regulations and judicial interpretation thereof and adoption of a significant number of new laws and regulations, sometimes with retroactive effect. In addition, the legal system of the Russian Federation generally and some of its judges in particular are still unfamiliar with and inexperienced in certain commercial law terminology, concepts and practices used or reflected in the Indenture and Russian courts have little experience in applying the law of foreign jurisdictions. Therefore, it is difficult to predict with any certainty whether a court in the Russian Federation would apply the laws of the State of New York in a dispute where the opposing parties are Russian citizens or legal persons and how the Indenture and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder would be interpreted by any judge or arbitrator in the Russian Federation. We have assumed that (i) state authorities have the competence and jurisdiction that they explicitly or implicitly assert, (ii) published or publicly available laws will be interpreted and applied and enforced substantially in the manner in which they are written and without outside interference or influence, and (iii) ambiguities and inconsistencies will be resolved with due consideration given to matters of materiality, reasonableness, fairness, fair dealing, good faith, public policy and order and the commercial expectations of the parties as evidenced by their agreements. Enforcement of laws in the Russian Federation may differ from region to region within the Russian Federation and may depend on and be subject to the interpretation placed upon such laws by the state authority deciding whether enforcement is available, and such authority may adopt an interpretation of an aspect of Russian law that differs from the opinions stated herein.

 

  (b) Under Russian law, rights may be exercised by the person to whom they are granted in that person’s absolute discretion. A waiver or other relinquishing by any person of its rights generally will not prevent their exercise by that person, and the Russian courts generally will not order specific performance of such waivers. It is not clear whether breach of an obligation resulting from the exercise of waived rights would give rise to liability for damages.

 

  (c) The opinions set out in this letter are subject to any limitations arising from applicable laws relating to insolvency, bankruptcy, administration, reorganisation, liquidation or analogous circumstances.

Re: Guarantees by Turkish Guarantors in connection with 9 % Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018

Dear Sir/Madam:

At your request, we have acted as special legal counsel in the Republic of Turkey for Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC (“Issuers”); in connection with the exchange of $1.15 billion aggregate principal amount of 9 % Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (“Old Lien Notes”) issued by the Issuers, which were privately placed, into new 9% Senior Secured Lien Notes due 2018 (“Exchange Notes”), and through the registration of the Exchange Notes before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as per the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”); through the following documents whereby two Turkish entities, namely, Gates Powertrain Plastik Metal ve Makina Sanayii ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi (“Gates Powertrain”), and Gates Güç Aktarim Sistemleri Dağitim Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi (“Gates Güç”) (Gates Powertrain and Gates Güç hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Turkish Guarantors”) have provided guarantees in connection with the Exchange Notes:

(i) the Indenture dated 29 September 2010 , and signed by and between, among others, the Borrowers as Issuers, Pinafore Holdings, B.V. as Holdings, and Wilmington Trust FSB (“Wilmington”) as Trustee and Collateral Agent; as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 18, 2010, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 21, 2010, the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 23, 2010, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 20, 2011, the Fifth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 23, 2011 (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), the Sixth Supplemental Indenture dated as of February 24, 2011 and the Seventh Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 3, 2011 (collectively, including the guarantees of the Exchange Notes contained therein, the “Indenture”) to which the Turkish Guarantors have acceded as Note Guarantors with the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (defined below);

Unless otherwise defined hereunder, capital terms used herein shall bear the same meaning as ascribed to them in the Indenture.


Pursuant to the Indenture, the parties thereof have agreed on the terms and conditions of the issuance, authentication and delivery of the Second Lien Notes

Pursuant to the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, the Turkish Guarantors have acceded to the Indenture, and have agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture.

 

I. In connection with the foregoing and in our capacity as special counsel in the Republic of Turkey for the Issuers we have examined the following documents:

 

  (a) the copy of the executed Indenture;

 

  (b) the copy of the registration statement on Form F-4 filed by the Issuers to SEC;

 

  (c) the documents listed in the Annex I (List of Reviewed Documents).

 

II. This legal opinion is also based on each of the following assumptions and qualifications:

 

  (a) We have not independently verified the authenticity of the documents reviewed; and we have assumed that all documents submitted to us as originals to be genuine, and authentic, and all documents submitted to us as copies or specimen documents to be in conformity with the originals, and in each case containing authentic signatures and executed in identical form to the version examined for purposes hereof;

 

  (b) We have solely relied upon the documents provided to us and listed in Section I above and we have not undertaken any investigation of governmental records or other public records and have relied upon the statements of the corporate counsels and the officers of the Turkish Guarantors that documents and information provided to us are accurate and up to date;

 

  (c) The documents listed under Section I upon which we have expressed reliance continue to be accurate and have not been revoked;

 

  (d) Insofar as laws other than the laws of the Republic of Turkey are concerned, each party to the Indenture has obtained all authorizations, corporate or otherwise, required under the laws of any jurisdiction (other than the Republic of Turkey) in order to be a party to the Indenture;

 

  (e) Insofar as laws other than the laws of the Republic of Turkey are concerned, the Indenture constitutes a legal, valid, binding, and enforceable obligation of the parties thereto under such laws; and

 

2


  (f) To the extent any obligation under the Indenture is required to be performed in any jurisdiction outside the Republic of Turkey, its performance will not be illegal or ineffective by virtue of the laws of such jurisdiction.

 

III. Based upon each of the foregoing examination and assumptions and subject to the qualifications set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

 

  (a) The Turkish Guarantors are limited liability partnerships (limited şirket) duly incorporated, organized and validly existing under the laws of the Republic of Turkey, and are duly registered and duly qualified to transact business in good standing in the Republic of Turkey.

 

  (b) Each of the Turkish Guarantors has taken all requisite corporate action necessary to authorize the transactions contemplated in the Indenture and to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Indenture to which it is a party.

 

  (c) Each of the Turkish Guarantors has duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered the Indenture; and has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Indenture and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby;

 

  (d) The respective articles of associations of (i) Gates Powertrain, as amended for the last time with the Partners Resolution dated 28 December 2010, announced in the Trade Registry Gazette dated 7 January 2011, and (ii) Gates Güç, as amended for the last time with the Partners Resolution dated 15 March 2011, announced in the Trade Registry Gazette dated 21 March 2011; are compatible with the purposes of, and the transactions contemplated under, the Indenture.

We are members of the Bars of the Republic of Turkey and express no opinion as to matters governed by any laws other than the laws of the Republic of Turkey. This opinion is limited to the laws of the Republic of Turkey and interpretations thereof in effect on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this legal opinion should any such law or interpretation be changed by legislative action, judicial decision or otherwise.

This opinion is being delivered at the request of the Issuers; for the benefit of the Issuers and their legal successors and assigns, which may rely on this opinion as though addressed to such person on the date hereof; and may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose, or relied upon by, or furnished to, any other person, firm or corporation, except to SEC, without our prior written consent. Provided, however, that this opinion may be relied upon by Latham & Watkins LLP in the issuance of its opinion letter in connection with the registration statement on Form F-4 for Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC with respect to the notes offered by Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC, and any amendments thereto, including any post-effective amendments to be filed by Tomkins, Inc. and Tomkins, LLC. Moreover, we hereby consent to the filling of this opinion with the U.S Securities

(i) all Equity Interests held by it that are listed on Schedule II and any other Equity Interests obtained in the future by such Grantor and the certificates representing all such Equity Interests of any Subsidiary (collectively, the “Pledged Equity”); provided that the Pledged Equity shall not include Excluded Assets;

-6-


provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of security interest in (A) any Excluded Asset or (B) any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of Holdings to the extent necessary for such Subsidiary not to be subject to any requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to file separate financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (or any other governmental agency), due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Captial Stock secures the Securities or the guarantees of the Securities (only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement) and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to take steps to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted hereunder (A) by indicating such security interest on the certificate of title for any motor vehicle or other asset that is covered by a certificate of title, (B) by entering into any control agreements or control arrangements (including with respect to Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or Letter-of-Credit Rights), or (C) by making any fixture filings with respect to fixtures or as-extracted collateral.

(c) Upon delivery to the Collateral Agent, any Pledged Securities shall be accompanied by stock or security powers duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent.

(a) As of the date hereof, Schedule II includes all Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt required to be pledged by such Grantor on the date hereof under the Credit Agreement;

(b) To the extent issued by a Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries, all such Pledged Equity and such Pledged Debt has been duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuer(s) thereof and are (i) in the case of such Pledged Equity, fully paid and nonassessable (other than with respect to Pledged Equity consisting of membership interests limited liability companies to the extent provided in Section 18-502 and 18-607 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act) and (ii) in the case of such Pledged Debt, the valid and legally binding obligations of the issuer(s) thereof, subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity) and an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing;

(c) except for the security interests granted hereunder, such Grantor (i) is and, subject to any transfers made in compliance with or permitted by the Indenture, will continue to be, the direct owner, beneficially and of record, of the Pledged Equity indicated opposite such Grantor’s name on Schedule II, (ii) holds the same free and clear of all Liens, other than Liens created by the Collateral Documents or Permitted Liens and (iii) will make no assignment, pledge, hypothecation or transfer of, or create or permit to exist any security interest in or other Lien on, the Pledged Collateral, other than assignments, pledges, hypothecations and transfers permitted by the Indenture or Permitted Liens; and

(d) the execution and performance by the Grantors of this Agreement are within each Grantor’s corporate, limited liability or limited partnership power, as applicable, and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability or limited partnership action or other organizational action, as applicable.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will comply with instructions of the Collateral Agent with respect to the Equity Interests in such Grantor that constitute Pledged Equity hereunder that are not certificated without further consent by the applicable owner or holder of such Equity Interests.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any provision of this Agreement or the Indenture excludes any assets from the scope of the Pledged Collateral, or from any requirement to take any action to perfect any security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral, the representations, warranties and covenants made by any relevant Grantor in this

 

-8-


Agreement with respect to the creation, perfection or priority (as applicable) of the security interest granted in favor of the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, this Section 2,03) shall be deemed not to apply to such excluded assets.

So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall promptly deliver to each Grantor any Pledged Securities in its possession if requested to be delivered to the issuer thereof in connection with any exchange or redemption of such Pledged Securities permitted by the Indenture in accordance with this Section 2.06(a)(iii).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon receipt of notice from Collateral Agent of its exercise of remedies, subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions. All dividends, interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, shall be promptly (and in any event within 10 days or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent). Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account to be established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 and that remain in such account.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon receipt of notice from Collateral Agent of its exercise of remedies, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that, unless otherwise directed by the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights. After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.

Section 2.07 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Indenture Document (including, without limitation, this Agreement) and the exercise of any right or remedy in respect of the Collateral by the Collateral Agent under this Agreement or under any other Indenture Document are subject to the provisions of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, this Agreement and any other Indenture Document, the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control with respect to any right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of the Collateral Agent shall be subject to the terms of the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, and until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, (a) no Grantor shall be required hereunder or under any other Indenture Document to take any action that is inconsistent with such Grantor’s obligations under the Senior Documents and (b) any obligation of any Grantor under any Indenture Document with respect to the delivery or control of any Collateral or the giving of any notice to any bailee or other Person shall be deemed to be satisfied if the Grantor complies with the requirements of the similar provision of the applicable Senior Document. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations, the Collateral Agent may not require any Grantor to take any action with respect to the creation, perfection or priority of its security interest, whether pursuant to the express terms hereof or of any other Indenture Document or pursuant to the further assurances provisions hereof or any other Indenture Document, to the extent the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or the applicable Senior Representative shall not have taken or required such Grantor to take similar action, and delivery of any Collateral to the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative pursuant to the Senior Documents shall satisfy any delivery requirement hereunder or under any other Indenture Document.

ARTICLE III

Security Interests in Personal Property

Section 3.01 Security Interest.

(a) As security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, each Grantor hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest (the “Security Interest”) in, all right, title or interest in or to any and all of the following assets and properties now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Grantor or in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Article 9 Collateral”):

 

  (i) all Accounts;

 

  (ii) all Chattel Paper;

 

  (iii) all Documents;

 

  (iv) all Equipment;

 

  (v) all General Intangibles;

 

  (vi) all Goods;

 

-11-


(vii) all Instruments;

(viii) all Inventory;

(ix) all Investment Property;

(x) all books and records pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral;

(xi) all Fixtures;

(xii) all Letter of Credit and Letter-of-Credit Rights;

(xiii) all Intellectual Property;

(xiv) all Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule III and on any supplement thereto received by the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 3.03(i); and

(xv) to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing and all Supporting Obligations, collateral security and guarantees given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing;

provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) this Agreement shall not constitute a grant of security interest in (A) any Excluded Asset or (B) any Capital Stock of any Subsidiary of Holdings to the extent necessary for such Subsidiary not to be subject to any requirement pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, to file separate financial statements with the SEC (or any other governmental agency), due to the fact that such Subsidiary’s Captial Stock secures the Securities or the guarantees of the Securities (only to the extent necessary to not be subject to such requirement and only for so long as required to not be subject to such requirement) and (ii) no Grantor shall be required to take steps to perfect the security interest in the Collateral granted here-under (A) by indicating such security interest on the certificate of title for any motor vehicle or other asset that is covered by a certificate of title, (B) by entering into any control agreements or control arrangements (including with respect to Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or Letter-of-Credit Rights), or (C) by making any fixture filings with respect to fixtures or as-extracted collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and Exchange Act is amended, modified or interpreted by the SEC to permit (or is replaced with another rule or regulation, or any other law, rule or regulation is adopted, which would permit) such Grantor’s Capital Stock and other securities to secure the Securities in excess of the amount then pledged without the filing with the SEC (or any other governmental agency) of separate financial statements of such Grantor, then the Capital Stock and other securities of such Grantor will automatically be deemed to be a part of the Pledged Collateral for the Securities but only to the extent necessary to not be subject to any such financial statement requirement.

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Article 9 Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” of such Grantor or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and, if required, any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor. Each

 

-12-


Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon any reasonable request. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall alter or modify the requirements contained in Section 10.01 of the Indenture, which provisions are expressly incorporated herein by reference.

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral.

(d) The Collateral Agent is authorized to file with the USPTO or the USCO (or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Security Interest in United States registered and applied for Intellectual Property of each Grantor in which a security interest has been granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor, and naming any Grantor or the Grantor as debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party.

Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties. Each Grantor jointly and severally represents and warrants, as to itself and the other Grantors, to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:

(a) Subject to Permitted Liens, each Grantor has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained prior to the date hereof.

(b) The UCC financing statements or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations were prepared based upon the information provided in the Perfection Certificate and will be filed by the Issuer, its agents or its designees in the applicable filing office and are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable Law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.

(c) Each Grantor represents and warrants that short-form Intellectual Property Security Agreements substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibits III, IV and V and containing a description of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered and applied for Patents, United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending, unless it constitutes an Excluded Asset) and United States registered Copyrights, respectively, have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the USPTO and the USCO pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261,15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral consisting of registrations and applications for United States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights. To the extent a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in USPTO or USCO under the Federal intellectual property laws, then no further or subsequent filing, re-filing, recording, rerecording, registration or re-registration is necessary (other than (i) such filings and actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Article 9 Collateral consisting of United States registered and applied for Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights acquired or developed by any Grantor after the date hereof and (ii) the UCC financing and continuation statements contemplated in Section 3.02(b)).

 

-13-


(d) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b), a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the relevant jurisdiction. The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any statutory or similar Lien that has priority as a matter of Law and (ii) any Permitted Liens.

(e) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens. None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable Laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with the USPTO or the USCO, or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Permitted Liens and assignments permitted by the Indenture.

(f) As of the date hereof, no Grantor has any Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $5,000,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate, other than the Commercial Tort Claims listed on Schedule III.

Section 3.03 Covenants.

(a) The Issuers agree to notify the Collateral Agent in writing within 60 days (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) after effecting any change in (i) the legal name of any Grantor, (ii) the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor, (iii) the jurisdiction of organization of any Grantor or (iv) chief executive office of any Grantor and take all actions that are necessary or requested by the Collateral Agent to continue the perfection of security interests created herein in Collateral at all times following any such change.

(b) Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements or other documents in connection herewith or therewith. Subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, if any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Article 9 Collateral that is in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note, other instrument, debt security or chattel paper, such note, instrument, debt security or chattel paper shall be promptly (and in any event within 60 days of its acquisition or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of any Grantor, such suits and proceedings as the Collateral Agent may be advised by counsel shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the security interest in or the perfection thereof in the Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors to the extent otherwise required by Section 7.07 of the Indenture.

 

-14-


(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Indenture, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Indenture Documents.

(d) Intellectual Property Covenants.

(i) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, except to the extent failure to act would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all reasonable steps, including, without limitation, in the USPTO, the USCO and any other governmental authority located in the United States, to pursue the registration and maintenance of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in the Intellectual Property of such Grantor that are not Excluded Assets.

(ii) Other than to the extent not prohibited herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to registrations and applications no longer used or useful, or except as would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property, excluding Excluded Assets, may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed to the public domain (or in the case of a trade secret, become publicly known).

(iii) Other than as excluded or as not prohibited herein or in the Indenture, or with respect to Patents, Copyrights or Trademarks which are no longer used or useful in the applicable Grantor’s business operations or except where failure to do so would not, as deemed by the applicable Grantor in its reasonable business judgment, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and enforce each item of its Intellectual Property.

(iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or any other Indenture Document prevents or shall be deemed to prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, failing to pursue, or otherwise allowing to lapse, expire, terminate or be put into the public domain, any of its Intellectual Property to the extent permitted by the Indenture if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

 

-15-


(v) Simultaneously with the delivery of the Officer’s Certificate required pursuant to Section 4.09 of Indenture (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion), the Issuers shall provide a list of any additional registrations of or applications for Intellectual Property of all Grantors with the USPTO and USCO not previously disclosed to the Collateral Agent including such information as is necessary for such Grantor to make appropriate filings in the USPTO and USCO. The provisions hereof shall automatically apply to such Intellectual Property as if such would have constituted Article 9 Collateral at the time of execution hereof and be subject to the Security Interest without further action by any party. Each Grantor shall also at the time of delivery of such list provide to the Collateral Agent confirmation of the attachment of the Security Interest to such Intellectual Property by execution of an instrument in form reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and the filing of any instruments or statements as shall be reasonably necessary to create, preserve, protect or perfect the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest in such Intellectual Property.

(e) If the Grantors shall at any time hold or acquire any Commercial Tort Claims in an amount reasonably estimated by such Grantor to exceed $5,000,000 individually or $10,000,000 in the aggregate for which this clause has not been satisfied and for which a complaint in a court of competent jurisdiction has been filed, such Grantor shall within 60 days after the end of the fiscal quarter in which such complaint was filed (or such longer period as the Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or any other Senior Representative, or, if such Credit Agreement Collateral Agent or Senior Representative does not exist, the Collateral Agent, may agree in writing in its sole discretion) notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of such claim and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

(f) In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are paid to any Grantor after the Collateral Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event of Default, such proceeds shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and, subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, immediately after receipt thereof shall be paid to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with Section 4.02.

ARTICLE IV

Remedies

Section 4.01 Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, including the Guarantees, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable Law and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent promptly, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under Law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to such exercise; and (iv) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements

 

-16-


subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable Law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate. The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any such sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any Law now existing or hereafter enacted.

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by Law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by Law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at Law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court-appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

 

-17-


Section 4.02 Application of Proceeds. Subject to the Second Lien Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall deliver the proceeds of any collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash to the Trustee for application in accordance with Section 6.10 of the Indenture.

The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to any of the Secured Parties for actions taken in reliance on information supplied to it as to the amounts of unpaid principal and interest and other amounts outstanding with respect to the Secured Obligations; provided that nothing in this sentence shall prevent any Grantor from contesting any amounts claimed by any Secured Party in any information so supplied. All distributions made by the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Section 4.02 shall be (subject to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final (absent manifest error), and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by the Trustee of any amounts distributed to it.

Section 4.03 Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property. For the exclusive purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent a nonexclusive, royalty-free, limited license (until the termination or cure of the Event of Default) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which such licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof; provided, however, that all of the foregoing rights of the Collateral Agent to use such licenses, sublicenses and other rights, and (to the extent permitted by the terms of such licenses and sublicenses) all licenses and sublicenses granted thereunder, shall expire immediately upon the termination or cure of all Events of Default and shall be exercised by the Collateral Agent solely during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon prior written notice to the applicable Grantor; provided, further, that nothing in this Section 4.03 shall require Grantors to grant any license that is prohibited by any rule of law, statute or regulation, or is prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing, giving rise to or theretofore granted, to the extent permitted by the Indenture, with respect to such property or otherwise unreasonably prejudices the value thereof to the relevant Grantor; provided, further, that such licenses granted hereunder with respect to Trademarks material to the business of such Grantor shall be subject to restrictions, including, without limitation restrictions as to goods or services associated with such Trademarks and the maintenance of quality standards with respect to the goods and services on which such Trademarks are used, sufficient to preserve the validity and value of such Trademarks. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only during the continuation of an Event of Default and notice to the applicable Grantor. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon notice to the applicable Grantor, the Collateral Agent may also exercise the rights afforded under Section 4.01 of this Agreement with respect to Intellectual Property contained in the Article 9 Collateral.

ARTICLE V

Subordination

Section 5.01 Subordination.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Grantors of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations. No failure on the part of the Issuers or any Grantor to make the payments required under applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

(b) Each Grantor hereby agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice from the Collateral Agent, all Indebtedness owed to it by any other Grantor shall be fully subordinated to the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations; provided that unless the Collateral Agent notifies each Grantor that such payments may not be made, each Grantor shall be permitted to make (or receive) payments on any intercompany note owed to (or by) a Grantor.

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous

Section 6.01 Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture. All communications and notices hereunder to the Issuers or any other Grantor shall be given to it in care of the Issuers as provided in Section 12.02 of the Indenture.

Section 6.02 Waivers: Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by any Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Indenture Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege, or any abandonment or dis continuance of steps to enforce such rights, remedies, powers or privileges hereunder, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Secured Parties herein provided, and provided under each other Indenture Document, are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law, No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Grantor or Grantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article 9 of the Indenture.

Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall be with out recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent and subject, if requested by the Collateral Agent, to the Collateral Agent’s receipt of a certification by the Issuers and applicable Grantor stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Indenture and the other Indenture Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request.

Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein.

The rights and obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

Section 6.14 Collateral Agent Appointed Attornev-in-Fact.

All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent to the extent contemplated by Section 7.07 of the Indenture and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

The obligations of the Grantors under this Agreement shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Issuers or other Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Secured Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

SECTION 5. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 6. THE TERMS OF SECTIONS 12.09 AND 12.16 OF THE INDENTURE WITH RESPECT TO GOVERNING LAW, SUBMISSION OF JURISDICTION, VENUE AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO SUCH TERMS.

SECTION 7. EACH PARTY TO THIS SUPPLEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 6.01 OF THE SECURITY AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS SUPPLEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS SUPPLEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

SECTION 9. If any provision of this Supplement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Supplement shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 6.01 of the Security Agreement.

SECTION 11.

(b) Where any financial collateral is appropriated:

 

  (i) if the financial collateral is listed or traded on a recognised exchange its value will be taken as the value at which it could have been sold on the exchange on the date of appropriation; or

(a) If any subsequent charge or other interest affects any Security Asset, the Secured Party may open a new account with a Chargor.

 

(b) If the Secured Party does not open a new account, it will nevertheless be treated as if it had done so at the time when it received or was deemed to have received notice of that charge or other interest.

 

(c) As from that time all payments made to the Secured Party will be credited or be treated as having been credited to the new account and will not operate to reduce any Secured Liability.

 

22.4 Time deposits

Without prejudice to any right of set-off any Secured Party may have under any other Second Lien Note Document or otherwise, if any time deposit matures on any account a Chargor has with any Secured Party within the Security Period when:

 

(a) this Security has become enforceable; and

 

22


(b) no Secured Liability is due and payable,

that time deposit will automatically be renewed for any further maturity which that Secured Party considers appropriate.

 

23. RELEASE

At the end of the Security Period, the Secured Parties must, at the request and cost of a Chargor, take whatever action is necessary to release its Security Assets from this Security. In addition, if any Security Asset is being disposed of or otherwise transferred to a person other than the Issuers or any Note Guarantor pursuant to a transaction which is either permitted by or consented to under the Indenture, the Collateral Agent shall, at the reasonable request and cost of the relevant Chargor, release, reassign or discharge (as appropriate) such Security Asset from this Security.

 

24. EVIDENCE AND CALCULATIONS

 

24.1 Accounts

Accounts maintained by a Secured Party in connection with this Security Agreement are prima facie evidence of the matters to which they relate for the purpose of any litigation or arbitration proceedings.

 

24.2 Certificates and determinations

Any certification or determination by a Secured Party of a rate or amount under the Indenture will be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive evidence of the matters to which it relates.

 

24.3 Calculations

25. NOTICES

Any communication in connection with this Security Agreement must be given in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

 

26. SEVERABILITY

27. WAIVERS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

  (a) may be exercised as often as necessary;

 

23


  (b) are cumulative and not exclusive of its rights under the general law; and

 

  (c) may be waived only in writing and specifically.

29. GOVERNING LAW

30.1 Jurisdiction

 

(a) The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute including a dispute relating to non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Security Agreement.

 

(b) The English courts are the most appropriate and convenient courts to settle any such dispute in connection with this Security Agreement. Each Chargor agrees not to argue to the contrary and waives objection to those courts on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise in relation to proceedings in connection with this Security Agreement.

 

(c) This Clause is for the benefit of the Secured Parties only. To the extent allowed by law, a Secured Party may take:

 

  (i) proceedings in any other court; and

 

  (ii) concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

 

(d) References in this Clause to a dispute in connection with this Security Agreement includes any dispute as to the existence, validity or termination of this Security Agreement.

 

30.2 Waiver of immunity

Each Chargor irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

  (a) agrees not to claim any immunity from proceedings brought by a Secured Party against it in relation to this Security Agreement and to ensure that no such claim is made on its behalf;

 

  (b) consents generally to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with those proceedings; and

 

  (c) waives all rights of immunity in respect of it or its assets.

(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been calculated based on financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. For the purpose of calculating this ratio, earnings consist of profit/(loss) before tax from continuing operations before our share of the profit or loss of associates, plus fixed charges and the distributed earnings of associates and less the preference security dividend requirement. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including the amortization of debt issuance costs, an estimate of the interest within rental expense and, for Fiscal 2007 and Fiscal 2006, the preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries.

 

(2) Earnings were deficient to cover fixed charges by $303.8 million for Q4 2010 and by $5.4 million for Fiscal 2008. Earnings for Q4 2010 have been negatively impacted by charges related to the Acquisition, including:

 

   

the effect on cost of sales of the uplift to the carrying amount of inventory held by Tomkins on its acquisition by the Group of $144.2 million;

 

   

transaction costs of $78.2 million incurred in relation to the Acquisitions; and

 

   

a currency translation loss of $47.6 million on the acquisition of Tomkins due to the change in the rate of exchange between the pound sterling (in which the purchase consideration was denominated) and the US dollar (the functional currency of the acquiring entity), in the period between the effective date of the acquisition and the payment of the consideration to the former shareholders in Tomkins.

 

     During Q4 2010, we also recognized a compensation expense in relation to share-based incentives of $72.4 million that was disproportionately high for the quarter due to the immediate vesting of certain awards.

WILMINGTON TRUST FSB

SECTION 1. Corporate Title. The full corporate title of the savings bank is Wilmington Trust FSB.

SECTION 2. Office. The home office shall be located in Salisbury, Maryland.

SECTION 3. Duration. The duration of the savings bank is perpetual.

SECTION 4. Purpose and Powers. The purpose of the savings bank is to pursue any or all of the lawful objectives of a Federal savings bank chartered under Section 5 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act and to exercise all of the express, implied, and incidental powers conferred thereby and by all acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, subject to the Constitution and laws of the United States as they are now in effect, or as they may hereafter be amended, and subject to all lawful and applicable rules, regulations, and orders of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”).

SECTION 5. Capital Stock. The total number of shares of all classes of the capital stock which the savings bank has the authority to issue is 10,000,000, all of which shall be common stock of par value of $1.00 per share. The shares may be issued from time to time as authorized by the Board of Directors without the approval of its shareholders, except as otherwise provided in this Section 5 or to the extent that such approval is required by governing law, rule, or regulation. The consideration for the issuance of the shares shall be paid in full before their issuance and shall not be less than the par value. Neither promissory notes nor future services shall constitute payment or part payment for the issuance of shares of the savings bank. The consideration for the shares shall be cash, tangible or intangible property (to the extent direct investment in such property would be permitted to the savings bank), labor, or services actually performed for the savings bank, or any combination of the foregoing. In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the value of such property, labor, or services, as determined by the Board of Directors of the savings bank, shall be conclusive. Upon payment of such consideration, such shares shall be deemed to be fully paid and nonassessable. In the case of a stock dividend, that part of the surplus of the savings bank which is transferred to stated capital upon the issuance of shares of as a share dividend shall be deemed to be the consideration for their issuance.

Except for shares issuable in connection with the conversion of the savings bank from the mutual to stock form of capitalization, no shares of common stock (including shares issuable upon conversion, exchange, or exercise of other securities) shall be issued, directly or indirectly, to officers, directors, or controlling persons of the savings bank other than as part of a general public offering or as qualifying shares to a director, unless the issuance or the plan under which they would be issued has been approved by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting.


The holders of the common stock shall exclusively possess all voting power. Each holder of shares of common stock shall be entitled to one vote for each share held by such holder, except as to the cumulation of votes for the election of directors. Subject to any provision for a liquidation account, in the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the savings bank, the holders of the common stock shall be entitled, after payment or provision for payment of all debts and liabilities of the savings bank, to receive the remaining assets of the savings bank available for distribution, in cash or in kind. Each share of common stock shall have the same relative rights as and be identical in all respects with all the other shares of common stock.

SECTION 6. Preemptive Rights. Holders of the capital stock of the savings bank shall not be entitled to preemptive rights with respect to any shares of the savings bank which may be issued.

SECTION 7. Directors. The savings bank shall be under the direction of a Board of Directors. The authorized number of directors, as stated in the savings bank’s bylaws, shall not be fewer than five nor more than fifteen except when a greater number is approved by the OTS.

SECTION 8. Amendment of Charter. Except as provided in Section 5, no amendment, addition, alteration, change, or repeal of this charter shall be made, unless such is first proposed by the Board of Directors of the savings bank, then preliminarily approved by the OTS, which preliminary approval may be granted by the OTS pursuant to regulations specifying preapproved charter amendments, and thereafter approved by the shareholders by a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast at a legal meeting. Any amendment, addition, alteration, change, or repeal so acted upon shall be effective upon filing with the OTS in accordance with regulatory procedures or on such other date as the OTS may specify in its preliminary approval.


EXHIBIT 4

BY-LAWS OF WILMINGTON TRUST FSB

As Amended April 28, 2008

ARTICLE I — HOME OFFICES

The home office of this savings bank shall be at 111 South Calvert Street, Suite 2620, Baltimore, Maryland.

ARTICLE II — SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION 1. Place of Meetings. All annual and special meetings of shareholders shall be held at the home office of the savings bank or at such other place in or outside the State in which the principal place of business of the savings bank is located as the board of directors may determine.

SECTION 2. Annual Meeting. A meeting of the shareholders of the savings bank for the election of directors and for the transaction of any other business of the savings bank shall be held annually within 120 days after the end of the savings bank’s fiscal year or at such other date and time within at such 120-day period as the board of directors may determine.

SECTION 3. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”), may be called at any time by the chairman of the board, one of the presidents or a majority of the board of directors, and shall be called by the chairman of the board, one of the presidents, or the secretary upon the written request of the holders of not less than one-tenth of all of the outstanding capital stock of the savings bank entitled to vote at the meeting. Such written request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and shall be delivered to the home office of the savings bank addressed to the chairman of the board, one of the presidents, or the secretary.

SECTION 4. Conduct of Meetings. The board of directors shall designate, when present, either the chairman of the board or one of the presidents to preside at such meetings.

SECTION 5. Notice of Meeting. Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose(s) for which the meeting is called shall be delivered not fewer than 20 nor more than 50 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the chairman of the board, one of the presidents, the secretary or the directors calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail, addressed to the shareholder at the address as it appears on the stock transfer books or records of the savings bank as of the record date prescribed in Section 6 of this Article II with postage prepaid. When any shareholders’ meeting, either annual or


special, is adjourned for 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. It shall not be necessary to give any notice of the time or place of any meeting adjourned for less than 30 days or of the business to be transacted at the meeting, other than an announcement at the meeting at which such adjournment is taken.

SECTION 6. Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors shall fix in advance a date as the record date for any such determination of shareholders. Such date in any case shall be not more than 60 days and, in case of a meeting of shareholders, not fewer than 10 days prior to the date on which the particular action, requiring such determination of shareholders, is to be taken. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment.

SECTION 7. Voting Lists. At least 20 days before each meeting of the shareholders, the officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the savings bank shall make a complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, or any adjournment, arranged in alphabetical order, with the address and the number of shares held by each. This list of shareholders shall be kept on file at the home office of the savings bank and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder at any time during usual business hours for a period of 20 days prior to such meeting. Such list also shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to inspection by any shareholder during the entire time of the meeting. The original stock transfer book shall constitute prima facie evidence of the shareholders entitled to examine such list or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.

In lieu of making the shareholder list available for inspection by shareholders as provided in the preceding paragraph, the board of directors may elect to follow the procedures prescribed in §552.6(d) of the OTS’s regulations as now or hereafter in effect.

SECTION 8. Quorum. A majority of the outstanding shares of the savings bank entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares is represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to constitute less than a quorum.

SECTION 9. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Proxies solicited on behalf of the management shall be voted as directed by the shareholder or, in the absence of such direction, as determined by a majority of the board of directors. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months from the date of its execution except for a proxy coupled with an interest.


SECTION 10. Voting of Shares in the Name of Two or More Persons. When ownership stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the savings bank to the contrary, at any meeting of the shareholders of the savings bank any one or more of such shareholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which such ownership is entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting votes, in person or by proxy, by the several persons in whose names shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which those persons are entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such and present in person or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.

SECTION 11. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders. Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by any officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian, or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public authority by which such receiver was appointed.

A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the savings bank nor shares held by another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the savings bank, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.

SECTION 12. Cumulative Voting. Every shareholder entitled to vote at an election for directors shall have the right to vote, in person by proxy, the number of shares owned by the shareholder for as many persons as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the shareholder has a right to vote, or to cumulate the votes by giving one candidate as many votes as the number of such directors to be elected multiplied by the number of shares shall equal or by distributing such votes on the same principle among any number of candidates.

SECTION 13. Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons other than nominees for office as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. Any such appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the board or one of the presidents may, or on the request of not fewer than 10 percent of the votes represented at the meeting shall, make such appointment at the meeting. If appointed at the meeting, the majority of the votes present shall determine whether one or three inspectors are to be appointed. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment by the board of directors in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the board or one of the presidents.


Unless otherwise prescribed by regulations of the OTS, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares and the voting power of each share, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the rights to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.

SECTION 14. Director Elections. The board of directors may nominate candidates for election as directors. Ballots bearing the names of all persons nominated by the board of directors and by shareholders shall be provided for use at the annual meeting. However, if the board of directors shall fail or refuse to act at least 20 days prior to the annual meeting, nominations for directors may be made at the annual meeting by any shareholder entitled to vote and shall be voted upon.

SECTION 15. New Business. Any new business to be taken up at the annual meeting shall be stated in writing and filed with the secretary of the savings bank at least five days before the annual meeting, and all business so stated, proposed and filed shall be considered at the annual meeting; but no other proposal shall be acted upon at the annual meeting. Any shareholder may make any other proposal at the annual meeting and the same may be discussed and considered, but unless stated in writing and filed with the secretary at least five days before the meeting, such proposal shall be laid over for action at an adjourned, special or annual meeting of the shareholders taking place 30 days or more thereafter. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors, and committees; but in connection with such reports, no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as herein provided.

SECTION 16. Informal Action by Shareholders. Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders, may be taken without a meeting if consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be given by all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter.

ARTICLE III — BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SECTION 1. General Powers. The business and affairs of this savings bank shall be under the direction of its board of directors. The board of directors shall annually elect a chairman of the board and one or more presidents and shall designate, when present, either the chairman of the board, one of the presidents, an executive vice president, a senior vice president, or a vice president to preside at its meetings.

SECTION 2. Number and Term. The board of directors shall consist of six members. The directors shall be elected annually, and shall serve for the ensuing year and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.


SECTION 3. Regular and Special Meetings. Regular and special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the chairman of the board, one of the presidents or one-third of the directors. The persons authorized to call meetings of the board of directors may fix any place as the place for holding that meeting.

Members of the board of directors may participate in regular or special meetings by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Such participation shall constitute presence in person and, if the board of directors so determines, shall constitute attendance for purpose of entitlement to compensation pursuant to Section 11 of this Article.

SECTION 4. Qualification. Each director shall at all times be the beneficial owner of not less than 100 shares of capital stock of the savings bank unless the savings bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company.

SECTION 5. Notice. Written notice of any special meeting shall be given to each director at least two days prior thereto when delivered personally or by telegram or at least five days prior thereto when delivered by mail at the address at which the director is most likely to be reached. Such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the mail so addressed, with postage prepaid if mailed or when delivered to the telegraph company if sent by telegram. Any director may waive notice of any meeting by a writing filed with the secretary. The attendance of a director at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a director attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the board of directors need to be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

SECTION 6. Quorum. A majority of the number of directors fixed by Section 2 of this Article III shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors; but if less than such majority is present at a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the meeting from time to time. Notice of any adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as prescribed by Section 5 of this Article III.

SECTION 7. Manner of Acting. The act of a majority of the directors present at a duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless a greater number is prescribed by the regulations of the OTS or these bylaws.

SECTION 8. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the directors.

SECTION 9. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by sending a written notice of such resignation to the home office of the savings bank addressed to the chairman of the board or one of the presidents. Unless otherwise specified, such resignation shall take effect upon receipt by the chairman of the board or one of the presidents. More than three consecutive absences


from regular meetings of the board of directors, unless excused by resolution of the board of directors, shall automatically constitute a resignation, effective when such resignation is accepted by the board of directors.

SECTION 10. Vacancies. Any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors although less than a quorum of the board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected to serve until the next election of directors by the shareholders. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors for may be filled by election by the board of directors for a term of office continuing only until the next election of directors by the shareholders.

SECTION 11. Compensation. Directors, as such, may receive a stated salary for their services. By resolution of the board of directors, a reasonable fixed sum, and reasonable expenses of attendance, if any, may be allowed for attendance, whether in person or by telephone, at any regular or special meeting of the Board of directors.

Members of either standing or special committees may be allowed such compensation for attendance, whether in person or by telephone, at committee meetings as the Board of directors may determine from time to time.

SECTION 12. Presumption of Assent. A director of the savings bank who is present at a meeting of the board of directors at which action on any savings bank matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent or abstention shall be entered into the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file a written dissent to such action with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the secretary of the savings bank within five days after the date a copy of the minutes of the meeting is received. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a director who voted in favor of such action.

SECTION 13. Removal of Directors. At a meeting of shareholders called expressly for that purpose, any director may be removed for cause by a vote of the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors. If less than the entire board is to be removed, no one of the directors may be removed if the votes cast against the removal would be sufficient to elect a director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. Whenever the holders of the shares of any class are entitled to elect one or more directors by the provisions of the charter or supplemental sections thereto, the provisions of this section shall apply, in respect to the removal of a director or directors so elected, to the vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of that class and not to the vote of the outstanding shares as a whole.

ARTICLE IV — EXECUTIVE AND OTHER COMMITTEES

SECTION 1. Appointment. The board of directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the full board, may designate an executive committee. The designation of any committee pursuant to this Article IV and the delegation of authority shall not operate to relieve the board of directors, or any director, of any responsibility imposed by law or regulation.

Special meetings of the executive committee may be called by any member thereof upon not less than one day’s notice stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting, which notice may be written or oral. Any member of the executive committee may waive notice of any meeting and no notice of any meeting need be given to any member thereof who attends in person.

SECTION 1. Positions. The officers of this savings bank shall be one or more presidents, one or more vice presidents, a secretary and a treasurer, each of whom shall be elected by the board of directors.

One of the presidents shall be the chief executive officer, unless the board of directors designates the chairman of the board as chief executive officer.

SECTION 3. Checks, Drafts, etc. All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes, or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the savings bank shall be signed by one or more officers, employees or agents of the savings bank in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by the board of directors.

Such certificates shall be signed by the chief executive officer or by any other officer of the savings bank authorized by the board of directors, attested by the secretary or an assistant secretary, and sealed with the corporate seal or a facsimile thereof. The signatures of such officers upon a certificate may be facsimiles if the certificate is manually signed on behalf of a transfer agent or a registrar other than the savings bank itself or one of its employees. Each certificate for shares of capital stock shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares are issued, the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books of the savings bank.

DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO AN ADDRESS OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE OR TRANSMISSION TO A FACSIMILE NUMBER OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH ABOVE WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A VALID DELIVERY.

The undersigned acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus dated              , 2011 (the “Prospectus”), of Tomkins, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “LLC Co-Issuer”), and Tomkins, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporate Co-issuer” and, together with the LLC Co-Issuer, the “Issuers”), and this Letter of Transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which together with the Prospectus constitutes the Issuers’ offer (the “Exchange Offer”) to exchange an aggregate principal amount of up to $1,150,000,000 of its outstanding 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (the “Exchange Notes”) for an equal aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Initial Notes”). Recipients of the Prospectus should read the requirements described in such Prospectus with respect to eligibility to participate in the Exchange Offer. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning given to them in the Prospectus.

The undersigned hereby tenders the Initial Notes described in the box entitled “Description of the Initial Notes” below pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal. The undersigned is the registered holder of all the Initial Notes (the “Holder”) and the undersigned represents that it has received from each beneficial owner of Initial Notes (the “Beneficial Owners”) a duly completed and executed form of “Instruction to Registered Holder from Beneficial Owner” accompanying this Letter of Transmittal, instructing the undersigned to take the action described in this Letter of Transmittal.


PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL CAREFULLY BEFORE COMPLETING ANY BOX BELOW.

This Letter of Transmittal is to be used by a Holder (i) if certificates representing Initial Notes are to be forwarded herewith and (ii) if a tender is made pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.”

Holders that are tendering by book-entry transfer to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC can execute the tender through ATOP for which the Exchange Offer will be eligible. DTC participants that are accepting the Exchange Offer must transmit their acceptance to DTC, which will verify the acceptance and execute a book-entry delivery to the Exchange Agent’s account at DTC. DTC will then send an agent’s message forming part of a book-entry transfer in which the participant agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal (an “Agent’s Message”) to the Exchange Agent for its acceptance. Transmission of the Agent’s Message by DTC will satisfy the terms of the Exchange Offer as to execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal by the participant identified in the Agent’s Message.

Any Beneficial Owner whose Initial Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such Holder promptly and instruct such Holder to tender on behalf of the Beneficial Owner. If such Beneficial Owner wishes to tender on its own behalf, such Beneficial Owner must, prior to completing and executing this Letter of Transmittal and delivering its Initial Notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the Initial Notes in such Beneficial Owner’s name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the Holder. The transfer of record ownership may take considerable time.

In order to properly complete this Letter of Transmittal, a Holder must (i) complete the box entitled “Description of the Initial Notes,” (ii) if appropriate, check and complete the boxes relating to book-entry transfer, guaranteed delivery, Special Issuance Instructions and Special Delivery Instructions, and (iii) sign the Letter of Transmittal by completing the box entitled “Sign Here To Tender Your Notes.” Each Holder should carefully read the detailed instructions below prior to completing the Letter of Transmittal.

Holders of Initial Notes who desire to tender their Initial Notes for exchange and (i) whose Initial Notes are not immediately available or (ii) who cannot deliver their Initial Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other documents required hereby to the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date, must tender the Initial Notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes—Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.” See Instruction 2.

Holders of Initial Notes who wish to tender their Initial Notes for exchange must complete columns (1) through (3) in the box below entitled “Description of the Initial Notes,” and sign the box below entitled “Sign Here To Tender Your Notes.” If only those columns are completed, such Holder will have tendered for exchange all Initial Notes listed in column (3) below. If the Holder wishes to tender for exchange less than all of such Initial Notes, column (4) must be completed in full. In such case, such Holder should refer to Instruction 5.

The Exchange Offer may be extended, terminated or amended, as provided in the Prospectus. During any such extension of the Exchange Offer, all Initial Notes previously tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer will remain subject to such Exchange Offer.

The undersigned hereby tenders for exchange the Initial Notes described in the box entitled “Description of the Initial Notes” below pursuant to the terms and conditions described in the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer, the undersigned hereby tenders to the Issuers for exchange the Initial Notes indicated above. Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for exchange of the Initial Notes tendered for exchange herewith, the undersigned will have irrevocably sold, assigned, transferred and exchanged, to the Issuers, all right, title and interest in, to and under all of the Initial Notes tendered for exchange hereby, and hereby will have appointed the Exchange Agent as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (with full knowledge that the Exchange Agent also acts as agent of the Issuers) of such Holder with respect to such Initial Notes, with full power of substitution to (i) deliver certificates representing such Initial Notes, or transfer ownership of such Initial Notes on the account books maintained by DTC (together, in any such case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity), to the Issuers, (ii) present and deliver such Initial Notes for transfer on the books of the Issuers and (iii) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights and incidents of beneficial ownership with respect to such Initial Notes, all in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph shall be deemed to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that it has full power and authority to tender, exchange, assign and transfer the Initial Notes; and that when such Initial Notes are accepted for exchange by the Issuers, the Issuers will acquire good and marketable title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any adverse claims. The undersigned further warrants that it will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Exchange Agent or the Issuers to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the Initial Notes tendered for exchange hereby. The undersigned further agrees that acceptance of any and all validly tendered Initial Notes by the Issuers and the issuance of Exchange Notes in exchange therefor shall constitute performance in full by the Issuers of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

By tendering, the undersigned hereby further represents to the Issuers that (i) the Exchange Notes to be acquired by the undersigned in exchange for the Initial Notes tendered hereby and any Beneficial Owner(s) of such Initial Notes in connection with the Exchange Offer will be acquired by the undersigned and such Beneficial Owner(s) in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, (ii) neither the undersigned nor any Beneficial Owner has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes in violation of the Securities Act and, at the time of consummation of the Exchange Offer, neither the undersigned nor any Beneficial Owner will have any such arrangement or understanding, and if such person is not a broker-dealer, such person is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the Exchange Notes, (iii) the undersigned and each Beneficial Owner acknowledge and agree that any person who is a broker-dealer registered under the Exchange Act or is participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the Exchange Notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the staff of the Commission set forth in certain no-action letters, (iv) the undersigned and each Beneficial Owner understand that a secondary resale transaction described in clause (iii) above and any resales of Exchange Notes obtained by the undersigned in exchange for the Initial Notes acquired by the undersigned directly from the Issuers should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling securityholder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the Commission, (v) neither the undersigned nor any Beneficial Owner is an “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of the Issuers and (vi) neither the undersigned nor any Beneficial Owner is acting on behalf of any persons or entities who could not truthfully make the foregoing representations.

If the undersigned is a broker-dealer that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Initial Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, it acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering such prospectus, the undersigned will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. A broker-dealer may not participate in the Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Notes acquired other than as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities.

For purposes of the Exchange Offer, the Issuers will be deemed to have accepted for exchange, and to have exchanged, validly tendered Initial Notes, if, as and when the Issuers give oral or written notice thereof to the Exchange Agent. Tenders of Secured Notes for exchange may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. See “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal Rights” in the Prospectus. Any Initial Notes tendered by the undersigned and not accepted for exchange will be returned to the undersigned at the address set forth above unless otherwise indicated in the box above entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” promptly after the Expiration Date.

The undersigned acknowledges that the Issuers’ acceptance of Initial Notes validly tendered for exchange pursuant to any one of the procedures described in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer” and in the instructions hereto will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Issuers upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer.

Unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions,” please return any Initial Notes not tendered for exchange in the name(s) of the undersigned. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated in the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions,” please mail any certificates for Initial Notes not tendered or exchanged (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the undersigned at the address shown below the undersigned’s signature(s). In the event that both “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed, please issue the certificates representing the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for the Initial Notes accepted for exchange in the name(s) of, and return any Initial Notes not tendered for exchange or not exchanged to, the person(s) so indicated. The undersigned recognizes that the Issuers have no obligation pursuant to the “Special Issuance Instructions” and “Special Delivery Instructions” to transfer any Initial Notes from the name of the Holder(s) thereof if the Issuers do not accept for exchange any of the Initial Notes so tendered for exchange or if such transfer would not be in compliance with any transfer restrictions applicable to such Initial Note(s).

In order to validly tender Initial Notes for exchange, Holders must complete, execute, and deliver this Letter of Transmittal.

Except as stated in the Prospectus, all authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death, incapacity or dissolution of the undersigned, and any obligation of the undersigned hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.

Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal need not be guaranteed (i) if this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the Holder(s) of the Initial Notes tendered herewith and such Holder(s) have not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” on this Letter of Transmittal or (ii) if such Initial Notes are tendered for the account of an Eligible Institution. In all other cases, all signatures must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

2. Delivery of this Letter of Transmittal and Initial Notes; Guaranteed Delivery Procedures. This Letter of Transmittal is to be completed by Holders if certificates representing Initial Notes are to be forwarded herewith. All physically delivered Initial Notes, as well as a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or manually signed facsimile thereof) and any other required documents, must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein prior to the Expiration Date or the tendering Holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth below. Delivery of the documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the Exchange Agent.

The method of delivery of Initial Notes, this Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the Holder. Except as otherwise provided below, the delivery will be deemed made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. Instead of delivery by mail, it is recommended that Holders use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the Exchange Agent before the Expiration Date. Neither this Letter of Transmittal nor any Initial Notes should be sent to the Issuers. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for such Holders.

Holders of Initial Notes who elect to tender Initial Notes and (i) whose Initial Notes are not immediately available or (ii) who cannot deliver the Initial Notes, this Letter of Transmittal or other required documents to the Exchange Agent prior the Expiration Date must tender their Initial Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Prospectus. Holders may have such tender effected if:

(a) such tender is made through an Eligible Institution;

(b) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, the Exchange Agent has received from such Eligible Institution a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, setting forth the name and address of the Holder, the certificate number(s) of such Initial Notes and the principal amount of Initial Notes tendered for exchange, stating that tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date, this

 

9


Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), together with the certificate(s) representing such Initial Notes (or a Book Entry Confirmation), in proper form for transfer, and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, will be deposited by such Eligible Institution with the Exchange Agent; and

(c) a properly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), as well as the certificate(s) for all tendered Initial Notes in proper form for transfer or a Book-Entry Confirmation, together with any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, are received by the Exchange Agent within five New York Stock Exchange trading days after the Expiration Date.

No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted. All tendering Holders, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof), waive any right to receive notice of the acceptance of their Initial Notes for exchange.

3. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in the box entitled “Description of the Initial Notes” above is inadequate, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the Initial Notes being tendered should be listed on a separate signed schedule affixed hereto.

4. Withdrawals. A tender of Initial Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to the Expiration Date by delivery of written notice of withdrawal (or facsimile thereof) to the Exchange Agent at the address set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal. To be effective, a notice of withdrawal of Initial Notes must (i) specify the name of the person who tendered the Initial Notes to be withdrawn (the “Depositor”), (ii) identify the Initial Notes to be withdrawn (including the certificate number(s) and aggregate principal amount of such Initial Notes), and (iii) be signed by the Holder in the same manner as the original signature on the Letter of Transmittal by which such Initial Notes were tendered (including any required signature guarantees). All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility (including time of receipt) of such notices will be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Any Initial Notes so withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Exchange Offer and no Exchange Notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the Initial Notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Properly withdrawn Initial Notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” at any time prior to the Expiration Date

5. Partial Tenders. Tenders of Initial Notes will be accepted only in minimum denominations of $2,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. If a tender for exchange is to be made with respect to less than the entire principal amount of any Initial Notes, fill in the principal amount of the Initial Notes which are tendered for exchange in column (4) of the box entitled “Description of the Initial Notes,” as more fully described in the footnotes thereto. In the case of a partial tender for exchange, a new certificate, in fully registered form, for the remainder of the principal amount of the Initial Notes, will be sent to the Holders unless otherwise indicated in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal promptly after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offer.

6. Signatures on this Letter of Transmittal, Powers of Attorney and Endorsements.

(a) The signature(s) of the Holder on this Letter of Transmittal must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the Initial Notes without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

(b) If tendered Initial Notes are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

(c) If any tendered Initial Notes are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of Transmittal and any necessary or required documents as there are different registrations or certificates.

 

10


(d) When this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the Holder listed and transmitted hereby, no endorsements of Initial Notes or bond powers are required. If, however, Initial Notes not tendered or not accepted, are to be issued or returned in the name of a person other than the Holder, then the Initial Notes transmitted hereby must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, in a form satisfactory to the Issuers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the Holder(s) appear(s) on the Initial Notes. Signatures on such Initial Notes or bond powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution (unless signed by an Eligible Institution).

(e) If this Letter of Transmittal or Initial Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys in fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and unless waived by the Issuers, evidence satisfactory to the Issuers of their authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

7. Transfer Taxes. Except as set forth in this Instruction 8, the Issuers will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Initial Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Initial Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the Holder or any other persons) will be payable by the tendering Holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemptions therefrom is not submitted with this Letter of Transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering Holder.

Except as provided in this Instruction 8, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the Initial Notes specified in this Letter or for funds to cover such stamps to be provided with.

8. Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions. If the Exchange Notes are to be issued, or if any Initial Notes not tendered for exchange are to be issued or sent to someone other than the Holder or to an address other than that shown above, the appropriate boxes on this Letter of Transmittal should be completed. Holders of Initial Notes tendering Initial Notes by book-entry transfer may request that Initial Notes not accepted be credited to such account maintained at DTC as such Holder may designate.

9. Irregularities. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), compliance with conditions, acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Initial Notes will be determined by the Issuers in their sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. The Issuers reserve the absolute right to reject any and all Initial Notes not properly tendered or any Initial Notes the Issuers’ acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for the Issuers, be unlawful. The Issuers also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Initial Notes. The Issuers’ interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this Letter of Transmittal) will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Initial Notes must be cured within such time as the Issuers shall determine. Although the Issuers intend to notify Holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Initial Notes, neither the Issuers, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Initial Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Initial Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the Exchange Agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in this Letter of Transmittal, promptly following the Expiration Date.

10. Waiver of Conditions. The Issuers reserve the absolute right to waive, amend or modify certain of the specified conditions as described under “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” in the Prospectus in the case of any Initial Notes tendered (except as otherwise provided in the Prospectus).

 

11


11. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Initial Notes. Any tendering Holder whose Initial Notes have been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, should contact the Exchange Agent at the address indicated herein for further instructions.

12. Requests for Information or Additional Copies. Requests for information, questions related to the procedures for tendering or for additional copies of the Prospectus and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address or telephone number set forth on the cover of this Letter of Transmittal.

13. Certain Tax Consequences. This Letter of Transmittal does not provide any tax disclosure to the Holders of Initial Notes or Exchange Notes. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the federal income tax consequences of the Exchange Offer, as well as tax consequences under any applicable state, local and foreign tax laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you should understand that the Issuers will comply with all income tax and withholding requirements that apply to consideration received by Holders with respect to the Exchange Notes. All Holders should consult the “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” section of the Prospectus.

IMPORTANT: This Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile thereof) together with certificates, or confirmation of book-entry or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and all other required documents must be received by the Exchange Agent prior the Expiration Date.

General Instructions

Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise noted.

Purpose of Form

A person who is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, or contributions you made to an IRA.

Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN to the person requesting it (the requester) and, when applicable, to:

1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U.S. trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners’ share of effectively connected income.

Note. If a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are:

 

 

An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien,

 

 

A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States,

 

 

An estate (other than a foreign estate), or

 

 

A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7).

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax on any foreign partners’ share of income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, a partnership is required to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your U.S. status and avoid withholding on your share of partnership income.

 

 

    Cat. No. 10231X   Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2011)


Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2011)   Page 2

 

The person who gives Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States is in the following cases:

 

 

The U.S. owner of a disregarded entity and not the entity,

 

 

The U.S. grantor or other owner of a grantor trust and not the trust, and

 

 

The U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust.

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 (see Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a “saving clause.” Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items:

1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien.

2. The treaty article addressing the income.

3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions.

4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax.

5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

        Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity not subject to backup withholding, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8.

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS a percentage of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the Part II instructions on page 3 for details),

3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See the instructions below and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9.

Also see Special rules for partnerships on page 1.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty.

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment.

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

Specific Instructions

Name

If you are an individual, you must generally enter the name shown on your income tax return. However, if you have changed your last name, for instance, due to marriage without informing the Social Security Administration of the name change, enter your first name, the last name shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

If the account is in joint names, list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of the form.

Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your income tax return on the “Name” line. You may enter your business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA)” name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation. Enter the entity’s name on the “Name” line and any business, trade, or “doing business as (DBA) name” on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line.

Disregarded entity. Enter the owner’s name on the “Name” line. The name of the entity entered on the “Name” line should never be a disregarded entity. The name on the “Name” line must be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income will be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a domestic owner, the domestic owner’s name is required to be provided on the “Name” line. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on the “Business name/disregarded entity name” line. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, you must complete an appropriate Form W-8.

Note. Check the appropriate box for the federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on the “Name” line (Individual/sole proprietor, Partnership, C Corporation, S Corporation, Trust/estate).

Limited Liability Company (LLC). If the person identified on the “Name” line is an LLC, check the “Limited liability company” box only and enter the appropriate code for the tax classification in the space provided. If you are an LLC that is treated as a partnership for federal tax purposes, enter “P” for partnership. If you are an LLC that has filed a Form 8832 or a Form 2553 to be taxed as a corporation, enter “C” for C corporation or “S” for S corporation. If you are an LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner under Regulation section 301.7701-3 (except for employment and excise tax), do not check the LLC box unless the owner of the LLC (required to be identified on the “Name” line) is another LLC that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. If the LLC is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the appropriate tax classification of the owner identified on the “Name” line.

 


Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2011)   Page 3

 

Other entities. Enter your business name as shown on required federal tax documents on the “Name” line. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. You may enter any business, trade, or DBA name on the “Business name/ disregarded entity name” line.

Exempt Payee

If you are exempt from backup withholding, enter your name as described above and check the appropriate box for your status, then check the “Exempt payee” box in the line following the “Business name/ disregarded entity name,” sign and date the form.

Generally, individuals (including sole proprietors) are not exempt from backup withholding. Corporations are exempt from backup withholding for certain payments, such as interest and dividends.

However, the following payments made to a corporation and reportable on Form 1099-MISC are not exempt from backup withholding: medical and health care payments, attorneys’ fees, gross proceeds paid to an attorney, and payments for services paid by a federal executive agency.

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. However, the IRS prefers that you use your SSN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (see Limited Liability Company (LLC) on page 2), enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity’s EIN. If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN.

Note. See the chart on page 4 for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local Social Security Administration office or get this form online at www.ssa.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1-800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. You can get Forms W-7 and SS-4 from the IRS by visiting IRS.gov or by calling 1-800-TAX-FORM (1-800-829-3676).

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, write “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester.

Note. Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded domestic entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4 indicate otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on the “Name” line must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt Payee on page 3.

Signature requirements. Complete the certification as indicated in items 1 through 3, below, and items 4 and 5 on page 4.

1. Interest, dividend, and barter exchange accounts opened before 1984 and broker accounts considered active during 1983. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

2. Interest, dividend, broker, and barter exchange accounts opened after 1983 and broker accounts considered inactive during 1983. You must sign the certification or backup withholding will apply. If you are subject to backup withholding and you are merely providing your correct TIN to the requester, you must cross out item 2 in the certification before signing the form.

3. Real estate transactions. You must sign the certification. You may cross out item 2 of the certification.

 


Form W-9 (Rev. 1-2011)   Page 4

 

4. Other payments. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification unless you have been notified that you have previously given an incorrect TIN. “Other payments” include payments made in the course of the requester’s trade or business for rents, royalties, goods (other than bills for merchandise), medical and health care services (including payments to corporations), payments to a nonemployee for services, payments to certain fishing boat crew members and fishermen, and gross proceeds paid to attorneys (including payments to corporations).

5. Mortgage interest paid by you, acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, qualified tuition program payments (under section 529), IRA, Coverdell ESA, Archer MSA or HSA contributions or distributions, and pension distributions. You must give your correct TIN, but you do not have to sign the certification.

Secure Your Tax Records from Identity Theft

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, social security number (SSN), or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

To reduce your risk:

 

 

Protect your SSN,

 

 

Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

 

 

Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

For more information, see Publication 4535, Identity Theft Prevention and Victim Assistance.

Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a system problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 1-877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 1-800-829-4059.

Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.

The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts.

        If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration at 1-800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at: spam@uce.gov or contact them at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338).

Visit IRS.gov to learn more about identity theft and how to reduce your risk.

 

 

Privacy Act Notice

The person collecting this form uses the information on the form to file information returns with the IRS, reporting the above information. Routine uses of this information include giving it to the Department of Justice for civil and criminal litigation and to cities, states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. possessions for use in administering their laws. The information also may be disclosed to other countries under a treaty, to federal and state agencies to enforce civil and criminal laws, or to federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to combat terrorism. You must provide your TIN whether or not you are required to file a tax return. Under section 3406, payers must generally withhold a percentage of taxable interest, dividend, and certain other payments to a payee who does not give a TIN to the payer.

Registration Statement on Form F-4

with respect to up to $1,150,000,000 Principal Amount of 9% Senior

Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018

File No. 333-

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

In connection with the above-referenced registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Pinafore Holdings B.V., a private company with limited liability (besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid) incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (the “Company”), relating to a proposed offer (the “Exchange Offer”) by Tomkins, Inc. (formerly Pinafore, Inc.) (the “Finance Co.”), a Delaware corporation and Tomkins, LLC (formerly Pinafore, LLC) (the “Finance LLC,” and, together with the Finance Co., the “Issuers”), a Delaware limited liability company, to exchange up to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Exchange Notes”) and the guarantees thereof by each of the Company’s subsidiaries named in the Registration Statement (together with the Company and the Issuers, the “Co-Registrants”) for up to $1,150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ outstanding 9% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes due 2018 (the “Outstanding Notes”), I am writing to advise you supplementally that:

 

  (i)

the Co-Registrants are registering the Exchange Offer in reliance on the position of the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the Commission’s letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. (available June 5, 1991);

 

  (ii)

the Co-Registrants have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person to distribute the Exchange Notes or the guarantees thereof and, to the best of the Co-Registrants’ information and belief, each person participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the securities in its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the securities to be received in the Exchange Offer;

  (iii)

the Issuers will make each person participating in the Exchange Offer aware, through the prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), that —

 

  (A)

any broker-dealer and any noteholder using the Prospectus to participate in a distribution of the Exchange Notes (x) could not rely on the Staff position enunciated in Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988) or similar letters and (y) must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) in connection with a secondary resale transaction, and

 

  (B)

any broker-dealer who holds Outstanding Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and who receives Exchange Notes in exchange for such Outstanding Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, may be a statutory underwriter and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes;

 

  (iv)

the Issuers acknowledge that any secondary resale transaction, as described in clause (iii)(A) above, should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling noteholder information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K;

 

  (v)

the Issuers will include in the transmittal letter to be executed by each tendering noteholder that elects to participate in the Exchange Offer a representation from such tendering noteholder to the Issuers that —

 

  (A)

the Exchange Notes or book-entry interests therein to be acquired by such holder and any beneficial owner(s) of such Outstanding Notes or interests therein (“Beneficial Owner(s)”) in connection with the Exchange Offer are being acquired by such holder and any Beneficial Owner(s) in the ordinary course of business of the holder and any Beneficial Owner(s),

 

  (B)

the holder and each Beneficial Owner are not engaging, do not intend to engage, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the Exchange Notes,

 

  (C)

the holder and each Beneficial Owner acknowledge and agree that any person who is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or is participating in the Exchange Offer for the purpose of distributing the Exchange Notes, must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of the Exchange Notes or interests therein acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the Staff set forth in certain no-action letters,

  (D)

the holder and each Beneficial Owner understands that a secondary resale transaction described in clause (v)(C) above and any resales of the Exchange Notes or interests therein obtained by such holder in exchange for the Outstanding Notes or interests therein originally acquired by such holder directly from the Issuers should be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or Item 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K of the Commission,

 

  (E)

neither the holder nor any Beneficial Owner(s) is an “affiliate,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, of any of the Co-Registrants, and

 

  (F)

in the event such holder is a broker-dealer (whether or not it is also an “affiliate”) that will receive Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Outstanding Notes tendered in the Exchange Offer were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, and such holder acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes; however, by so acknowledging and by delivering a Prospectus, the holder will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act;

 

  (vi)

the Issuers will commence the Exchange Offer when the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;

 

  (vii)

the Exchange Offer will remain in effect for a limited time and, except with respect to broker-dealers who tender in the Exchange Offer for whom the Issuers will keep the Registration Statement effective for up to 180 days, will not require the Issuers to maintain an “evergreen” registration statement; and

 

  (viii)

the Exchange Offer will be conducted by the Issuers in compliance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and any applicable rules and regulations thereunder.

If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact the undersigned or our counsel, Rachel W. Sheridan and Patrick H. Shannon of Latham & Watkins LLP, at (202) 637-2139 and (202) 637-1028, respectively.
