13. DISPUTED CLAIMS

  (d) Cut-Back Mechanism

On the Exchange Date, if the MEB Election Amount is greater than the Maximum MEB Amount, then:

 

  (i) any Scheme Claim that is to be exchanged for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds pursuant to an election for Option 3 shall be exchanged for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds with a principal amount equal to the product of the amount of such Scheme Claims, multiplied by the quotient of the Maximum MEB Amount divided by the MEB Election Amount; and

  (A) New HY Notes and CVRs (as Option 1 Claims); or

 

  (B) New HY Notes only (as Option 2 Claims).

The allocation of Residual Claims shall be made in accordance with the election made by the Scheme Creditor in its Account Holder Letter in respect of cut-back treatment. In the event that the MEB Election Amount is greater than the Maximum MEB Amount, Scheme Creditors may elect whether their Residual Claims are to be treated as Option 1 Claims or Option 2 Claims, and Scheme Creditors who fail to submit a valid election by the applicable deadline as to whether their Residual Claims are to be treated as Option 1 Claims or Option 2 Claims shall be deemed to have elected for such Residual Claims to be treated as Option 1 Claims.

in each case in accordance with Clause 15 below.

  (b) has not provided to the Information Agent a validly completed Account Holder Letter including a validly completed Distribution Confirmation Deed from or on behalf of the Scheme Creditor by the relevant deadline.

 

16.2 If Clause 16.1 applies, a Scheme Creditor’s entitlement to the Scheme Consideration will be issued to the Holding Period Trustee, who will hold the Scheme Consideration on trust (the “Scheme Consideration Trust”) for the relevant Scheme Creditor (the “Trust Securities”) for the Holding Period.

 

40


16.3 If a Scheme Creditor whose entitlement to the Scheme Consideration has been issued to the Holding Period Trustee under Clause 16.2, and that Scheme Creditor:

  (b) fails to provide the Information Agent or the Company (as applicable) with a validly completed Account Holder Letter including the Distribution Confirmation Deed;

within the Holding Period, together with a request in writing to transfer the relevant Trust Securities to it (or its Designated Recipient) within the Holding Period then, upon the expiration of the Holding Period, the Holding Period Trustee is hereby authorised to sell such Scheme Consideration to a third party on arm’s length terms.

 

16.4 If during the Holding Period any Scheme Creditor being a beneficiary of the Scheme Consideration Trust requests in writing that the Holding Period Trustee sell the Trust Securities to which it is beneficially entitled, the Holding Period Trustee will use its reasonable endeavours to sell the Trust Securities and account to that Scheme Creditor for the net proceeds of sale (after the deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Holding Period Trustee in respect of such sale), provided that a validly completed Account Holder Letter along with a validly completed Trust Distribution Deed has been submitted to the Information Agent or to the Company by or on behalf of that Scheme Creditor.

The Holding Period Trustee shall have the power to appoint an additional or replacement trustee over the Trust Securities at any time, subject to any additional or replacement trustee agreeing to be bound by the terms of the Schemes.

 

16.6 For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause 16 shall allow any Scheme Consideration to be sold in circumstances where a Scheme Creditor would be prohibited from selling such Scheme Consideration were it the legal owner thereof.

 

41


16.7 The performance by the Company of its obligations to settle on trust any Scheme Consideration under this Hong Kong Scheme shall operate to discharge any corresponding obligation of the Company under the Cayman Scheme to settle any such sum on trust.

4 PAYMENT BY THE ISSUER

 

4.1 Payment to the Principal Agent: In order to provide for the payment of the principal, interest and any other amount due in respect of the Bonds as the same shall become due, the Issuer, failing whom, the Subsidiary Guarantors (jointly and severally), shall unconditionally pay or procure to be paid, to the Principal Agent:

 

  4.1.1 on maturity or early redemption of any Bonds, by 10:00 am (London time), in an account specified by the Principal Agent for value at least one Business Day prior to the redemption date thereof (or, in the case of the Bonds becoming due and payable pursuant to Condition 10, forthwith upon being required by the Bond Trustee so to make such payment), an amount (in US dollars, calculated in accordance with the Conditions) sufficient (together with any funds then held by the Principal Agent which are available for such purpose) to pay the amount due on redemption of all Bonds so to be redeemed (or the amount due pursuant to Condition 10); and

 

  4.1.2 for value by 10:00 am (London time) at least one Business Day before each due date for the payment of interest or other sums payable in respect of the Bonds in accordance with the Conditions, other than sums referred to in sub-Clause 4.1.1 above, an amount (in US dollars, calculated in accordance with the Conditions) sufficient (together with any funds then held by the Principal Agent which are available for such purpose) to pay interest or other sums payable then becoming due on the outstanding Bonds.

All amounts deposited with the Bond Trustee or the Principal Agent for the payment of Bonds to the Bondholders but which have not been so paid shall be returned as soon as practicable by the Principal Agent to the account designated by the Issuer, the details of which are set forth in Schedule 6, provided that no interest shall accrue on such amounts and be payable to the Issuer by the Bond Trustee or the Principal Agent.

The Bondholders shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Principal Agent with respect to such money shall thereupon cease.

 

4.2 Notifications by the Issuer: The Issuer shall notify the Principal Agent and the Bond Trustee of the Spot Rate in respect of any amounts payable by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor forthwith, and in any event no later than 5:00 pm (London time on the relevant Rate Calculation Date), upon it being determined in accordance with Condition 7.

 

Sch. 15-7


4.3 Notification of payment: The Issuer, failing whom, the Subsidiary Guarantors (jointly and severally), shall procure that on or before 5:00 pm (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to each due date for payment of principal, premium (if any), interest and/or any default interest in respect of the Bonds, the bank through which such payment is to be made will send to the Principal Agent and the Bond Trustee confirmation that it has received from the Issuer an irrevocable instruction to make the relevant payment (by facsimile transmission).

 

4.4 Due Date: In this Clause 4, the date on which a payment in respect of the Bonds becomes due means the first date on which the holder of a Bond could claim the relevant payment by transfer to an account under the Conditions, but disregarding the necessity for it to be a business day in any particular place of presentation.

 

4.5 Notification in the event of non-payment: The Principal Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Bond Trustee, the other Agents, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors if it has not, by the due date for payment of principal, interest or any other sum payable in respect of the Bonds or any of them, received unconditionally in the manner provided in this Clause 4 the full amount of the moneys payable on such due date on or in respect of all such Bonds, as the case may be.

 

5 PAYMENT BY THE AGENTS

 

5.1 Payment: Unless they receive a notification from the Principal Agent under Clause 4.5 the Paying Agents will, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, pay or cause to be paid on behalf of the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors on each due date therefor or, in the event that the due date is not a business day (as defined in Condition 7(G)), the Business Day immediately following such due date the amounts due in respect of the Bonds and will be entitled to claim any amounts so paid from the Principal Agent. If any payment provided for in Clause 4.1 is made late but otherwise in accordance with this Agreement the Paying Agents will nevertheless make such payments in respect of the Bonds. However, unless and until the full amount of any such payment has been made to the Principal Agent, none of the Paying Agents will be bound to make such payments until either the Principal Agent has received the full amount of moneys in immediately available and cleared funds then due and payable in respect of the Bonds or other arrangements satisfactory to the Principal Agent have been made. If payment of any amount is made to the Principal Agent later than the due date for payment of such amount to the Bondholders, the Principal Agent shall as soon as practicable after receipt thereof give notice to the Bondholders and the Bond Trustee in accordance with Condition 16 that such payment has been made. All payments to be made by the Paying Agents hereunder shall be made without charging any commission or fee to the Bondholders. Nothing contained herein shall require a Paying Agent to make a payment unless and until the Paying Agent has received immediately available and cleared funds sufficient to make the said payment.

 

5.2 Reimbursements of Agents: Subject to receipt of the moneys payable pursuant to Clause 4.1, the Principal Agent will on demand promptly reimburse each Paying Agent for payments in respect of the Bonds made by it in accordance with the Conditions and this Agreement.

 

Sch. 15-8


5.3 Shortfall: If any Agent shall have made payment in respect of any of the Bonds before it has received or has had made available to its order the amount so paid, the Issuer shall from time to time on demand pay to that Paying Agent, in addition to the amount which should have been paid hereunder, any accrued interest on such shortfall calculated on a 360 day basis and the actual number of days elapsed at the rate per annum which is the aggregate of two per cent. per annum and the rate per annum determined by the Principal Agent to be its cost of funds for the time being in relation to the unpaid amount.

 

5.4 Method of payment to Principal Agent: All sums payable to the Principal Agent hereunder will be paid in US Dollars and in immediately available or same day and cleared funds, to such account with such bank as the Principal Agent may from time to time notify in advance to the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors in writing.

 

5.5 Surrender of Certificates to Paying Agents: If applicable, the Paying Agents shall accept surrender of Certificates from Bondholders as a condition precedent to payment of principal in accordance with the Conditions. At close of business on the second business day (as defined in Condition 7(G)) before the due date for payment in respect of Bonds, and, if Certificates are surrendered later than that, on any business day thereafter on which Certificates are surrendered, each Paying Agent to whom Certificates have been surrendered will notify the Registrar and the Principal Agent of the identifying numbers of Certificates surrendered to it at that time. Each Paying Agent will cancel Certificates surrendered to it and forward the cancelled Certificates to the Principal Agent for destruction.

 

5.6 Partial Payments: If on presentation of a Certificate only part of the amount payable in respect of such Certificate is paid (except as a result of a deduction of tax permitted by the Conditions), the Paying Agent to whom the Certificate is presented shall procure that such Certificate is enfaced with a memorandum of the amount paid and the date of payment.

 

5.7 Fees and expenses of the Agents: The Principal Agent will account to each of the other Agents appointed by the Principal Agent for their fees and expenses in respect of the services performed by them under this Agreement promptly after receipt thereof from the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors (as the case may be) and the Issuer or the Subsidiary Guarantors (as the case may be) shall have no responsibility for any such payments.

 

5.8 Agents of the Bond Trustee: The Principal Agent, the Registrar or the other Agents shall, on demand by the Bond Trustee by notice in writing given to them, the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors at any time after any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred, until notified by the Bond Trustee to the contrary, so far as permitted by applicable law:

 

  5.8.1 act as agents of the Bond Trustee under the Trust Deed and the Bonds on the terms of this Agreement (with consequential amendments as necessary and save that the Bond Trustee’s liability for the indemnification, remuneration and all other expenses of the Agents shall be limited to the amounts for the time being held by the Bond Trustee in respect of the Bonds on and subject to the terms of the Trust Deed) and thereafter hold all Certificates and all moneys, documents and records held by them in respect of the Bonds to the order of the Bond Trustee; and/or

 

  5.8.2 deliver all Certificates and all moneys, documents and records held by them in respect of the Bonds to the Bond Trustee or as the Bond Trustee directs in such notice or subsequently.

 

Sch. 15-9


At any time after an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default has occurred the Bond Trustee may also, by notice in writing to the Issuer and the Subsidiary Guarantors, require them to make all subsequent payments in respect of the Bonds to or to the order of the Bond Trustee and not the Principal Agent. Any such payment made to the Bond Trustee by the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor shall constitute due satisfaction of the Issuer’s, or the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor’s, obligation to make such payment to the Principal Agent under this Agreement.

 

5.9 Notices of change of the Bond Trustee: The Issuer shall forthwith give notice to the Agents of any change in the person or persons comprising the Bond Trustee.

 

5.10 Agent Payments Net of Taxes. The Agents shall be entitled to make payments net of any Taxes or other sums required by any Applicable Law to be withheld or deducted. If such a withholding or deduction is so required, the Agents will not pay an additional amount in respect of that withholding or deduction.

The Principal Agent shall promptly notify such details and details of the principal amount of Bonds represented by the Global Certificate in respect of which the option in Condition 8(E), has been exercised to the Issuer and the Bond Trustee. A Bondholder Redemption Notice once delivered shall be irrevocable.

 

7.4 Bondholder’s Tax Option: Each Agent will keep a stock of notices (“Bondholder’s Exercise Notice”) in a form similar to that set out in Schedule 3 and will make them available on demand to Bondholders. The Agent with which a Bond is deposited pursuant to Condition 8(F) shall hold such Bond on behalf of the depositing Bondholder (but shall not, save as provided below, release it) until the proposed Tax Redemption Date of the Bonds pursuant to Condition 8(B). On that date, subject as provided below, the relevant Agent shall return such Bond to the depositing Bondholder and (in the case of the Global Certificate) endorse the relevant Schedule to such Certificate appropriately. If the deposited Bond (or Bonds) becomes (or become) immediately due and payable before that date, the Agent concerned shall mail such Certificate by uninsured post to, and at the risk of, the relevant holder at the address shown for the Bondholder on the Register as supplied by the Registrar.

 

7.5 Effect of Notice of Redemption: Once notice of redemption is provided in accordance with Condition 16, Bonds called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender of any Certificate in respect of such Bond for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Bond shall be paid by the Issuer at the redemption price determined in accordance with the relevant Condition.

Sch. 15-11

Such notice shall specify the then principal amount outstanding of the Bonds as at the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the notice and the amount of PIK Interest to be so paid.

8 CANCELLATION OF BONDS

 

8.1 Cancellation by Agents: All Bonds which are exchanged, redeemed or purchased by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries shall be cancelled as soon as practicable by the removal of the relevant Bondholder’s name from the Register by the Registrar and cancellation of the corresponding Certificates (or appropriate amendment of the Global Certificate if the Bonds are represented thereby) by the Agent to which they were surrendered or with which they were deposited.

 

8.2 Cancelled Certificates: Each Agent shall (unless it is itself the Principal Agent) give all relevant details for the purposes of Clause 8.3 to, and shall forward Certificates cancelled by it promptly to, the Principal Agent or, as the case may be, its designated agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principal Agent shall not be required to keep a record of the Register.

 

8.6 Identifying Numbers: The Registrar shall notify the Principal Agent of the identifying numbers of the Bonds and the definitive Certificates which are issued and the same shall form the basis of the records to be kept by the Principal Agent.

The Issuer will promptly notify the Bond Trustee and the Registrar (and the Paying Agent, if applicable) if any authorised officer of the Issuer whose facsimile signature appears on such stocks of replacement Certificates ceases to be so authorised. In such circumstances the Issuer will promptly, properly and validly appoint a replacement authorised officer and upon the request of the Registrar or the Bond Trustee promptly deliver to the Registrar such number of replacement Certificates as it may reasonably request, duly signed manually or in facsimile by such replacement authorised officer. Upon receipt of such replacement Certificates, the Registrar or its agent will be deemed to have been authorised by the Issuer to destroy any previous replacement Certificates and will notify the Issuer of such destruction.

 

9.2 Replacement: The Registrar will, subject to and in accordance with Condition 14 and the following provisions of this Clause, authenticate and deliver or cause to be authenticated and delivered (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) any replacement Certificates which the Issuer may determine to issue or deliver in place of Certificates which have been mutilated, defaced, lost, stolen or destroyed. The Registrar will inform the Issuer upon receiving any request from a Bondholder (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) for the issue of a replacement Certificate.

 

9.3 Conditions of Replacement: The Registrar will verify with the relevant Agent, in the case of an allegedly lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate in respect of which the identifying number is known or believed to be known, that the Bond in respect of which such Certificate is issued has not been redeemed or purchased by the Issuer and cancelled and the Registrar shall not deliver or cause to be delivered any replacement Certificate unless and until the applicant therefor shall have:

 

  9.3.1 paid such costs, taxes and duties as may be incurred in connection therewith;

 

  9.3.2 furnished the Registrar (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) with such evidence (including evidence as to the identifying number of the Certificate in question if known) and indemnity and/or security as the Issuer and the Registrar may reasonably require; and

 

  9.3.3 surrendered to the Registrar (directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) any mutilated or defaced Certificate to be replaced.

 

9.4 Cancellation of replaced Certificates: The Registrar shall cancel or procure the cancellation of any mutilated or defaced Certificates surrendered to it for replacement. Unless otherwise instructed by the Issuer, the Registrar shall destroy or procure the destruction of such cancelled Certificates and upon written request by the Issuer or the Bond Trustee, furnish the Issuer, the Bond Trustee and the Principal Agent with a certificate confirming such destruction and containing the information specified in Clause 8.2.

 

9.5 Notification: The Registrar shall, on delivering (either directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) any replacement Certificate, as soon as practicable inform the Issuer, the Bond Trustee and each of the other Agents, of the identifying number of such replacement Certificate and (if known) of the identifying number of the definitive Certificate and the relevant Bonds in place of which such replacement Certificate has been delivered.

9.6 Records: The Registrar shall keep a full and complete record of all replacement Certificates delivered (either directly or, if applicable, through the relevant Agent) and shall make such record available at all reasonable times during the normal office hours of the Registrar to the Issuer, the Bond Trustee and the Principal Agent.

 

9.7 Notice of presentation of replaced Certificates: Whenever any Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen, defaced or destroyed in replacement for which a new Certificate has been issued shall be surrendered or delivered to an Agent prior to payment, the Agent shall as soon as practicable send notice thereof to the Issuer, the Registrar and the Principal Agent.

SCHEDULE 1

REGULATIONS CONCERNING THE TRANSFER AND REGISTRATION OF BONDS

 

1 Each Bond shall be in the denomination of US$1,000 and higher integral multiples of US$1. Each holder of Bonds shall in addition to the original principal amount of US$1,000 of each Bond held by it be entitled to such Bond’s pro rata proportion of the aggregate of all Interest Arrears together with its pro rata proportion of the aggregate of all PIK Interest (if any) capitalized pursuant to and in accordance with Condition 5. Certificates, each evidencing entitlement to one or more Bonds, shall be issued in accordance with the Conditions.

 

2 The Bonds are transferable by execution of the form of transfer on each Certificate endorsed under the hand of the transferor or, where the transferor is a corporation, under its common seal or under the hand of two of its officers duly authorised in writing. In this Exhibit “transferor” shall where the context permits or requires include joint transferors and be construed accordingly.

 

3 The Certificate issued in respect of the Bond to be transferred must be delivered for registration to the office of a Transfer Agent accompanied by such other evidence (including certificates and/or legal opinions) as the Transfer Agent may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor or his right to transfer the Bond and his identity and, if the form of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf or in the case of the execution of a form of transfer on behalf of a corporation by its officers, the authority of that person or those persons to do so. The signature of the person effecting a transfer of a Bond shall conform to any list of duly authorised specimen signatures supplied by the registered holder or be certified by a recognised bank, notary public or in such other manner as the Agent may require.

 

4 The executors or administrators of a deceased holder of Bonds (not being one of several joint holders) and, in the case of the death of one or more of joint holders, the survivor or survivors of such joint holders, shall be the only persons recognised by the Issuer as having any title to such Bonds.

 

5 Any person becoming entitled to Bonds in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder of such Bonds may, upon producing such evidence that he holds the position in respect of which he proposes to act under this paragraph or of his title as the Transfer Agent shall require (including certificates and/or legal opinions), be registered himself as the holder of such Bonds or, subject to the preceding paragraphs as to transfer, may transfer such Bonds. The Issuer and the Agents may retain any amount payable upon the Bonds to which any person is so entitled until such person shall be so registered or shall duly transfer the Bonds.

 

6 Unless otherwise requested by him and agreed by the Issuer, a holder of Bonds shall be entitled to receive only one Certificate in respect of his holding.

 

7 The joint holders of a Bond shall be entitled to one Certificate only in respect of their joint holding which shall, except where they otherwise direct, be delivered to the joint holder whose name appears first in the Register in respect of the joint holding.

 

Sch. 15-30


8 The Issuer and the Transfer Agents shall make no charge to the holders for the registration of any holding of Bonds or any transfer of Bonds or for the issue of any Certificates or for the delivery of Certificates at the specified office of the Agent to whom the request for registration, transfer or delivery was delivered or by uninsured post to the address specified by the holder. If any holder entitled to receive a Certificate wishes to have it delivered to him otherwise than at the specified office of such Agent, such delivery shall be made upon his written request to such Agent, at his risk and (except where sent by uninsured post to the address specified by the holder) at his expense.

 

9 Each Transfer Agent will within three business days in London of a request to effect a transfer of a Bond (or within 21 days if the transfer is of a Bond represented by the Global Certificate) deliver at its specified office to the transferee or despatch by mail (at the risk of the transferee) to such address as the transferee may request, a new Certificate in respect of the Bond or Bonds transferred. In the case of a transfer or redemption of fewer than all the Bonds in respect of which a Certificate is issued, a new Certificate in respect of the Bonds not transferred or redeemed will be so delivered to the holder to its address appearing on the register of holders of Bonds.

 

10 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Registrar shall register the transfer of any Bond only upon presentation of an executed and duly completed form of transfer substantially in the form set forth in the Form of Certificate in schedule 1 or the Form of Global Certificate in schedule 2 to the Trust Deed together with any other documents thereby required.

 

11 The Issuer may, with the prior approval of the Registrar and the Bond Trustee promulgate any other regulations that it may deem necessary for the registration and transfer of the Bonds.
