“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the yield determined by the Company in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

 

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

 

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

The covenants set forth in this Section 3 shall apply to the Notes. Except as otherwise expressly provided below, the covenants set forth in the Indenture are in all respects ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect

 

Section 3.01      Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

(i)            If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to a series of Notes, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem any series of Notes pursuant to Section 1.04 of this Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of such series of Notes to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s applicable Notes on the terms set forth in the Notes. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes purchased to, but not including, the purchase date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date) (a “Change of Control Payment”); provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

 

(ii)            Within 30 days following the date upon which any Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, except to the extent the Company has exercised its right to redeem the applicable Notes pursuant to Section 1.04 of this Supplemental Indenture, a notice shall be mailed or sent electronically by the Company pursuant to the Applicable Procedures to Holders of the Notes with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to purchase such Notes on the date specified in the applicable notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date on which such notice is mailed or sent (other than as may be required by law) (such date, a “Change of Control Payment Date”).

 

(iii)            The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the applicable Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice. The Change of Control Payment Date must be a Business Day.

 

13

 

 

(iv)            On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

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

 

(b) deposit with the Paying Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the applicable Change of Control Offer; and

 

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

 

(v)            The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14(e)-1 of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the purchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict; rather, the Company will be deemed to comply with its obligation to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event in accordance with the Indenture, modified necessary by the Company in good faith to permit compliance with such law or regulation.

 

(vi)            If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Company, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Company, purchases all of the Notes of such series validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the Holders will be deemed to have consented to such Change of Control Offer and, accordingly, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date).

 

Section 3.02      Limitations on Liens.

 

(a)            The Company shall not incur, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to incur, any Indebtedness secured by a Lien upon (a) any Principal Property of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (b) any shares of stock or Indebtedness of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (whether such Principal Property or shares or Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary are existing or owned at the date of this Supplemental Indenture or hereafter created or acquired), in each case, unless prior to or at the same time, the Notes (together with, at the option of the Company, any other Indebtedness or Guarantees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries ranking equally in right of payment with the Notes or such Guarantee) are equally and ratably secured with or, at the option of the Company, prior to, such secured Indebtedness.

 

14

 

 

The foregoing restriction shall not apply to:

(2) Liens granted after the Issue Date, created in favor of the Holders of the Notes or other series of Notes under the Indenture;

 

(3) Liens securing the Company’s Indebtedness which are incurred to extend, renew or refinance Indebtedness which is secured by Liens permitted to be incurred under the Indenture (including Permitted Liens) so long as such Liens are limited to all or part of substantially the same Principal Property which secured the Liens extended, renewed or replaced and the amount of Indebtedness secured is not increased (other than by the amount equal to any costs and expenses (including any premiums, fees or penalties) incurred in connection with any extension, renewal or refinancing); and

 

(4) Permitted Liens.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding Section 3.02(a) hereof, the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries may, without securing the Notes, create or incur Liens which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 3.02(a) hereof, if after giving effect thereto, Aggregate Debt of the Company does not exceed the greater of (a) 15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets calculated as of the date of creation or incurrence of the Lien and (b) $400.0 million.

 

Section 3.03      Limitation on Sale and Lease-Back Transactions.

 

(a)            The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, enter into any sale and lease-back transaction for the sale and leasing back of any Principal Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless:

 

(1) such transaction was entered into prior to the Issue Date;

 

(2) such transaction was for the sale and leasing back to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Principal Property by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries;

15

 

 

(5) the Company applies an amount equal to the fair value of the Principal Property (as determined by the Company’s board of directors in good faith) sold to the purchase of Property or to the retirement of the Company’s long-term Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes (including the Notes) within 365 days of the effective date of any such sale and lease-back transaction. In lieu of applying such amount to such retirement, the Company may deliver debt securities that rank pari passu with the Notes (including the Notes) to the trustee under the indenture therefor for cancellation, such debt securities to be credited at the cost thereof to the Company.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding Section 3.03(a) hereof, the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries may enter into any sale and lease-back transaction which would otherwise be subject to the restrictions of Section 3.03(a) hereof, if after giving effect thereto and at the time of determination, Aggregate Debt does not exceed the greater of (a) 15% of the Company’s Consolidated Net Tangible Assets calculated as of the date of creation or incurrence of the Lien and (b) $400.0 million.

All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Certificated Notes of the applicable series if:

 

(1)            the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary (A) that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary for the Global Notes of such series and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary or (B) that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time when it is required to be registered and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

 

(2)            the Company, in its sole discretion, delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that it elects to cause the issuance of Certificated Notes of such series; or

(3)            upon request of the Trustee or Holders of a majority of the principal amount of outstanding Notes of such series if there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of Notes.

 

Upon the occurrence of any of the preceding events in (1), (2) or (3) above, Certificated Notes of such series shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee. Global Notes of any series also may be exchanged or replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.8 and 2.11 of the Indenture.

Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes of a series also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as applicable:

 

(1)            Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note.

If any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note of any series proposes to exchange such beneficial interest for a Certificated Note of such series or to transfer such beneficial interest to a person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note of such series, then, if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of Section 4.01(a) of this Supplemental Indenture and upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.01(b)(2) of this Supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall cause the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Note of any series to be reduced accordingly pursuant to Section 4.01(f) hereof, and the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the person designated in the instructions a Certificated Note of such series in the appropriate principal amount. Any Certificated Note of any series issued in exchange for a beneficial interest pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) shall be registered in such name or names and in such authorized denomination or denominations as the holder of such beneficial interest requests through instructions to the Registrar from or through the Depositary and the Participant or Indirect Participant. The Trustee shall deliver such Certificated Notes of such series to the persons in whose names such Notes of such series are so registered.

 

17

 

 

(d)            Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Beneficial Interests in Global Notes. A Holder of a Certificated Note of any series may exchange such Certificated Note for a beneficial interest in a Global Note of such series or transfer such Certificated Notes to a person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in a Global Note of such series at any time. Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Certificated Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the applicable Global Notes. If any such exchange or registration of transfer from a Certificated Note to a beneficial interest in a Global Note is effected pursuant to this Section 4.01(d) at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Global Notes of such series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Certificated Notes of such series so transferred.

 

(e)            Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Certificated Notes. A Holder of Certificated Notes of any series may transfer such Certificated Notes of such series to a person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a Certificated Note. Upon request by a Holder of Certificated Notes of any series and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.01(e), the Registrar shall register the transfer or exchange of Certificated Notes of such series. Prior to such registration of transfer or exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the Certificated Notes of such series duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register the Certificated Notes of such series pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note of a series is exchanged for or transferred to a person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note of such series or for Certificated Notes of such series, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note of such series shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note of such series by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a person who shall take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note of such series, such other Global Note of such series shall be increased accordingly and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note of such series by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such increase.

[REVERSE OF NOTE]

 

ATLASSIAN CORPORATION

 

5.250% Senior Notes due 2029

 

1.            Interest.

 

Atlassian Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from _______, 20__. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on November 15, 2024. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code.

 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

 

2.            Paying Agent.

 

Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

 

3.            Indenture; Defined Terms.

 

This Note is one of the 5.250% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture dated as of May 15, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, and established pursuant to a First Supplemental Indenture dated May 15, 2024 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), issued pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture. This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.

 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

4.            Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

A-1-5

 

 

5.            Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series (including the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting together as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note in any material respect.

 

6.            Redemption.

 

Prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of:

 

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming that such notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 15 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

 

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

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture.

 

A-1-6

 

 

“Par Call Date” means April 15, 2029.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

A-1-7

 

 

7.            Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer shall have exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

 

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuer shall have exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Issuer shall mail or send a notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes subject to such offer with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to purchase Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (other than as may be required by law) (such date, the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice. The Change of Control Payment Date must be a Business Day.

 

On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:

 

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

 

· deposit with the Paying Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time an amount equal to the change of control payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

 

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

 

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

 

A-1-8

 

 

Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require the Issuer to purchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

 

The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14(e)-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the terms described in the Notes, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations by virtue thereof; rather, the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with those obligations if it complies with its obligation to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event in accordance with the Indenture, modified as necessary by the Issuer in good faith to permit compliance with any such law or regulation.

 

Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Purchase Exercise Notice Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in accordance with such requirements.

 

In addition, the Issuer shall not purchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the change of control payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer, as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the Holders will be deemed to have consented to such Change of Control Offer and, accordingly, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date).

 

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the Issuer’s assets and the assets of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of Notes to require the Issuer to purchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the Issuer’s assets and the assets of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person may be uncertain.

 

A-1-9

 

 

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following definitions are applicable:

 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

 

(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets and the assets of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries;

 

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or its subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Issuer’s outstanding Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the beneficial owner of, or to own beneficially, any securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such person or any of such person’s affiliates (as defined in the indenture) until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or exchange thereunder;

 

(3) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Issuer’s outstanding Voting Stock or the outstanding Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Issuer’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent of the surviving person, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

 

(4) the adoption of a plan by the Issuer’s board of directors relating to the Issuer’s liquidation or dissolution in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control if (1) the Issuer becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2) immediately following that transaction, (a) the direct or indirect Holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the Holders of the Issuer’s Voting Stock in substantially the same proportions immediately prior to that transaction or (b) no person or group is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than a majority of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the holding company.

 

A-1-10

 

 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event.

 

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Inc. and its successors.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors.

 

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if, after the date of the initial issuance of the Notes, Fitch rates the Notes and makes such rating publicly available, Rating Agency shall mean each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; provided, further, that if Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch, as applicable, ceases to rate the Notes or fails to continue to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Issuer’s control, the Issuer shall appoint a replacement for such Rating Agency that is a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Change of Control Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred in connection with any particular Change of Control unless and until such Change of Control has actually been consummated.

 

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., and its successors.

 

“Voting Stock” of any specified person as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person.

8.            Defaults and Remedies.

If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it requires.

The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

ATLASSIAN CORPORATION

 

5.500% Senior Notes due 2034

 

1.            Interest.

 

Atlassian Corporation (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from _______, 20__. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Issuer will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on November 15, 2024. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in a manner consistent with Rule 11620(b) of the FINRA Uniform Practice Code.

 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful.

 

2.            Paying Agent.

 

Initially, U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

 

3.            Indenture; Defined Terms.

 

This Note is one of the 5.500% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “Notes”) issued under an indenture dated as of May 15, 2024 (the “Base Indenture”) by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, and established pursuant to a First Supplemental Indenture dated May 15, 2024 (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), issued pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture. This Note is a “Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture.

 

For purposes of this Note, unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

 

4.            Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. A Holder shall register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the Indenture. The Issuer need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes or portions thereof for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption, nor need the Issuer register the transfer or exchange of any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

 

 

 

 

5.            Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

 

Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes and the provisions of the Indenture relating to the Notes may be amended or supplemented and any existing default or Event of Default or compliance with certain provisions may be waived with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series (including the Notes) under the Indenture that are affected by such amendment, supplement or waiver (voting together as a single class). Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture and the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a Note in any material respect.

 

6.            Redemption.

 

Prior to the Par Call Date (as defined below), the Issuer may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) calculated by the Issuer equal to the greater of:

 

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the redemption date (assuming that such notes matured on the Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 20 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and

 

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

 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

 

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

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on interest payment dates falling on or prior to a redemption date will be payable on the interest payment date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture.

 

 

 

 

“Par Call Date” means February 15, 2034.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

7.            Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

If a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer shall have exercised its right to redeem the Notes as described above, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer to each Holder of Notes to purchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided that after giving effect to the purchase, any Notes that remain outstanding shall have a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 above that amount.

 

Within 30 days following the date upon which the Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, except to the extent that the Issuer shall have exercised its right to redeem the Notes pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the Issuer shall mail or send a notice in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes subject to such offer with a copy to the Trustee describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute a Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to purchase Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (other than as may be required by law) (such date, the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice will, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned on the Change of Control being consummated on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice. The Change of Control Payment Date must be a Business Day.

 

On each Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:

 

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

 

· deposit with the Paying Agent prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time an amount equal to the change of control payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; and

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

 

Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders to require the Issuer to purchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

 

The Issuer shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14(e)-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the terms described in the Notes, the Issuer shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations by virtue thereof; rather, the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with those obligations if it complies with its obligation to repurchase Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event in accordance with the Indenture, modified as necessary by the Issuer in good faith to permit compliance with any such law or regulation.

 

Holders of Notes electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled “Purchase Exercise Notice Upon a Change of Control Triggering Event” on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice, or transfer their Notes to the Paying Agent by book-entry transfer pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC, prior to the close of business on the third Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer in accordance with such requirements.

 

In addition, the Issuer shall not purchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the change of control payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuer, as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, all of the Holders will be deemed to have consented to such Change of Control Offer and, accordingly, the Issuer will have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (subject to the right of Holders of record on a record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date).

 

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the Issuer’s assets and the assets of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a Holder of Notes to require the Issuer to purchase its notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the Issuer’s assets and the assets of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole to another person may be uncertain.

 

 

 

 

For purposes of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the following definitions are applicable:

 

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of any one of the following:

 

(1) the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s assets and the assets of the Issuer’s subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than to the Issuer or one of its subsidiaries;

 

(2) the consummation of any transaction (including without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) other than the Issuer or its subsidiaries, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Issuer’s outstanding Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; provided, however, that a person shall not be deemed the beneficial owner of, or to own beneficially, any securities tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such person or any of such person’s affiliates (as defined in the indenture) until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or exchange thereunder;

 

(3) the Issuer consolidates with, or merges with or into, any person, or any person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Issuer, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which any of the Issuer’s outstanding Voting Stock or the outstanding Voting Stock of such other person is converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the shares of the Issuer’s Voting Stock outstanding immediately prior to such transaction constitute, or are converted into or exchanged for, a majority of the Voting Stock of the surviving person or any direct or indirect parent of the surviving person, immediately after giving effect to such transaction; or

 

(4) the adoption of a plan by the Issuer’s board of directors relating to the Issuer’s liquidation or dissolution in connection with a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be considered to be a Change of Control if (1) the Issuer becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company and (2) immediately following that transaction, (a) the direct or indirect Holders of the Voting Stock of the holding company are substantially the same as the Holders of the Issuer’s Voting Stock in substantially the same proportions immediately prior to that transaction or (b) no person or group is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than a majority of the total voting power of the Voting Stock of the holding company.

 

 

 

 

“Change of Control Triggering Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event.

 

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings Inc. and its successors.

 

“Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of S&P); and a rating of BBB- or better by Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating category of Fitch) and the equivalent investment grade rating from any replacement Rating Agency or Agencies appointed by the Issuer.

 

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and its successors.

 

“Rating Agency” means each of Moody’s and S&P; provided, that if, after the date of the initial issuance of the Notes, Fitch rates the Notes and makes such rating publicly available, Rating Agency shall mean each of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch; provided, further, that if Moody’s, S&P and/or Fitch, as applicable, ceases to rate the Notes or fails to continue to make a rating of the notes publicly available for reasons outside of the Issuer’s control, the Issuer shall appoint a replacement for such Rating Agency that is a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act.

 

“Ratings Event” means the Notes are rated below Investment Grade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies (if the Notes at such time are rated by three Rating Agencies) or by both Rating Agencies (if the Notes at such time are rated by two Rating Agencies), on any day during the period (the “Trigger Period”) commencing on the date 60 days prior to the first public announcement by the Issuer of any Change of Control (or pending Change of Control) and ending 60 days following consummation of such Change of Control (which Trigger Period will be extended for so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by at least two of the three Rating Agencies (if the Notes at such time are rated by three Rating Agencies) or by either of the Rating Agencies (if the Notes at such time are rated by two Rating Agencies)); provided, however, that a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating will not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus will not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined in the Indenture)) unless each of the Rating Agencies announces or publicly confirms or informs the Trustee in writing at the Issuer’s or the Trustee’s request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control.

8.            Defaults and Remedies.

 

If an Event of Default (other than certain bankruptcy Events of Default with respect to the Issuer) under the Indenture occurs with respect to the Notes and is continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, may by written notice to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), require the Issuer to repay immediately the entire principal amount of the outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and premium, if any. If a bankruptcy Event of Default with respect to the Issuer occurs and is continuing, then the entire principal amount of the outstanding Notes will automatically become due immediately and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Holders of Notes may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee is not obligated to enforce the Indenture or the Notes unless it has received indemnity as it requires. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of Notes notice of certain continuing defaults or Events of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.
