Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the DGCL) provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporationa derivative action), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal actions or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, and the DGCL requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The DGCL provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporations bylaws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.
Under our Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws, the Company is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless any Director, officer or employee of the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment) against expenses (including legal fees), judgments, losses, liability, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by him or her, in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), brought or threatened to be brought against him by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a Director, officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or trustee; provided, however, that except as provided in the Certification of Incorporation with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification, the Company is obligated to indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such
indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. In addition to the foregoing, the Company may provide indemnification for any indemnitee in those instances in which such indemnification, although greater in scope or degree than that expressly provided by law, is deemed to be in the best interest of the Company by (a) a majority of disinterested Directors even though less than a quorum (which may consist of only one Director if there is only one disinterested Director), (b) by a committee of disinterested Directors designated by a majority of disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no disinterested Directors, or if such disinterested Directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
In addition, an indemnitee also has the right to be paid by the Company the expenses incurred (including attorneys fees) in connection with any proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding (hereinafter an advancement of expenses); provided, however, that, if required by law, any advancement of expenses incurred by a indemnitee solely in his capacity as a director, officer or employee shall only be made upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking (hereinafter an undertaking) by or on behalf of such indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a final adjudication) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company or authorized by law. No such undertaking is required in connection with the advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee acting in any other capacity in which service is or was rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan.
A Director of the Company will not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the Directors duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
The Company carries directors and officers liability insurance that covers certain liabilities and expenses of its directors and officers.
Item 16. Exhibits
A list of exhibits filed herewith is contained in the exhibit index that immediately precedes such exhibits and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 17. Undertakings
(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment of this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement; and
(iii) To include any material information relating to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement; Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement.
(2) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and
(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of this registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus that was part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time will be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(d) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (Act) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.

Such office may be the same office as the Issuers office referred to in Section 12.02. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Issuer may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term Paying Agent includes any additional paying agent.
The Issuer shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any such Agent and the Trustee shall have the right to inspect the Securities register at all reasonable times to obtain copies thereof, and the Trustee shall have the right to rely upon such register as to
- 10 -
the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and certificate numbers thereof. If the Issuer fails to maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such.
The Issuer initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent.
Section 2.04 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders and the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Issuer in making any such payment. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Issuer at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.
Section 2.05 Holder Lists.
The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders.
Section 2.06 Transfer and Exchange.
Where a Security is presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the New York Uniform Commercial Code are met. Where Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrars request. The Registrar need not transfer or exchange any Security selected for redemption, except the unredeemed part thereof if the Security is redeemed in part, or transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed. Any transfer or exchange shall be without charge, except that the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such transfer or exchange and any other expenses in connection therewith) except in the case of exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.09, 3.06, or 10.05 not involving any transfer.
Section 2.07 Replacement Securities.
If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken, the Issuer shall issue and, upon written request of any Officer of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security, provided that in the case of a lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security, that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code are met. If any such lost, destroyed, mutilated or wrongfully taken Security shall have matured or shall be about to mature, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a substitute
- 11 -
Security therefor, pay such Security without requiring (except in the case of a mutilated Security) the surrender thereof. An indemnity bond must be sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer and the Trustee to protect the Issuer, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, including the acquisition of such Security by a protected purchaser. The Issuer may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security. Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Issuer and the Guarantors
Section 2.08 Outstanding Securities.
Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those presented to it by the Issuer or its designee for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Issuer, the Guarantors or one of their Affiliates holds the Security.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.
If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.
If a Security is called for redemption or if it matures in less than six months and if the Issuer has satisfied its obligation to pay the Security, or if a Security has been converted in accordance with the provisions of Article Eleven, the Issuer and the Trustee need not treat the Security as outstanding in determining whether Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent.
For each series of Original Issue Discount Securities, the principal amount of such Securities that shall be deemed to be outstanding and used to determine whether the necessary Holders have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver shall be the principal amount of such Securities that could be declared to be due and payable upon acceleration upon an Event of Default as of the date of such determination. When requested by the Trustee, the Issuer will advise the Trustee of such amount, showing its computations in reasonable detail.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
Section 2.09 Temporary Securities.
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare and execute, the Guarantors shall endorse the Guarantee thereon, and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Issuer considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and, upon surrender for cancellation of the
- 12 -
temporary Security, the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 2.10 Cancellation.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange, conversion, redemption or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration or transfer, exchange, redemption, paying or cancellation. Unless the Authorizing Resolution so provides, the Issuer may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has previously paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.11 Defaulted Interest.
If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, it shall pay the defaulted interest plus any interest payable on the defaulted interest (to the extent lawful), if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special Record Date. The Issuer shall fix such special Record Date and a payment date. At least 15 days before such special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Holder a notice that states the Record Date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.
Section 2.12 Treasury Securities.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities of a Series have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Securities owned by the Issuer, the Guarantors or any of their respective Affiliates shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so considered.
Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers.
The Issuer in issuing the Securities of any Series may use a CUSIP number, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders of such Securities; provided that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP number printed in the notice or on such Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on such Securities. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in any CUSIP number.
Section 2.14 Deposit of Moneys.
Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each interest payment date and maturity date with respect to each Series of Securities, the Issuer shall have deposited with the Paying Agent in immediately available funds money sufficient to make cash payments due on such interest
- 13 -
payment date or maturity date, as applicable, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such interest payment date or maturity date, as applicable.
Section 2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Security.
(a) Any Global Security of a Series initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the depository who shall be identified in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture relating to such Securities (the Depository) or the nominee of such Depository, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depository and (iii) bear any required legends.
Members of, or participants in, the Depository (Agent Members) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depository, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depository may be treated by the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Issuer, the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depository or impair, as between the Depository and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
(b) Transfers of any Global Security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depository, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in the Global Security may be transferred or exchanged for definitive Securities in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depository. In addition, definitive Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security if (i) the Depository notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Global Security or, if at any time, the Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and a successor depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days of such notice or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities and the Registrar has received a request from the Depository to issue definitive Securities.
(c) In connection with any transfer or exchange of a portion of the beneficial interest in any Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Registrar shall (if one or more definitive Securities are to be issued) reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more definitive Securities of like tenor and amount.
(d) In connection with the transfer of an entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b), the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depository in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations.
- 14 -
(e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities of such Series.
(f) Each Global Security shall also bear the following legend on the face thereof:
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for securities in definitive form, this security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository to a nominee of the depository, or by any such nominee of the depository, or by the depository or nominee of such successor depository or any such nominee to a successor depository or a nominee of such successor depository. Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation (DTC), to an issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment hereon is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), any transfer, pledge or other use hereof for value or otherwise by or to any person is wrongful inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Transfers of this global security shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to nominees of Cede & Co. or to a successor thereof or such successors nominee.

(5) the occurrence of an acceleration of, or a significant modification of the terms (including without limitation the payment of more than an insignificant amount of fees to the holders thereof) of any [ ] (each of these series of notes being referred to below as an Outstanding Series), provided that on the date of such occurrence, the outstanding principal amount of at least one Outstanding Series to which the occurrence relates exceeds $5,000,000;
(6) any Guarantee in respect of the Securities of such Series by the Company or a Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary shall for any reason cease to be, or be asserted in writing by the Company, such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, not to be, in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release or discharge of any such Guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture); provided, however, that if the Company, such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, asserts in writing that such Guarantee is not in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, such assertion shall not constitute an Event of Default for purposes of this paragraph if (i) such written assertion is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel of each of the Issuer, the Company and such Guarantor to the effect that, as a matter of law, the defect or defects rendering such Guarantee unenforceable can be remedied within 10 days of the date of such assertion, (ii) each of the Issuer and the Company delivers an Officers Certificate to the
- 20 -
effect that the Company, such Guarantor or the Issuer, as applicable, represents that such defect or defects shall be so remedied within such 10-day period, and (iii) such defect or defects are in fact so remedied within such 10-day period;
(7) the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a Notice of Default. If such a Default is cured within such time period, it ceases.
Any Event of Default that relates exclusively to a Guarantor other than the Company may be cured to the extent such Guarantor is released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 9.03.
The term Custodian means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 6.02 Acceleration.
- 21 -
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary resulting from sub-clauses (7) or (8) of Section 6.01), shall have occurred and be continuing under this Indenture, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer and the Company or the Holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series then outstanding by notice to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of all Securities of such Series and interest, if any, accrued thereon to be due and payable immediately. Upon such declaration of acceleration, the amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series and interest, if any, accrued thereon will be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default with respect to the Issuer, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary specified in sub-clauses (7) or (8) of Section 6.01 occurs, all amounts due and payable on the Securities of such Series will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Company or any Holder. Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities of such Series may rescind an acceleration with respect to such Series and its consequence (except an acceleration due to nonpayment of principal or interest on the Securities of such Series) if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all past Events of Default have been cured or waived.
No such rescission shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default, or shall impair any right or power consequent thereon.
Section 6.03 Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default on a Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Series or to enforce the performance of any provision in the Securities or this Indenture applicable to the Series.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Section 10.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series on behalf of all the Holders of the Series by notice to the Trustee may waive a past Default on such Series and its consequences. When a Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05 Control by Majority.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of a Series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such Series.
- 22 -
The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction (i) that conflicts with law or this Indenture, (ii) that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or (iii) that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of a Series may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Series unless:
(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default on the Series;
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of such request and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) no written request inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of the Series.

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Guarantors (other than the Company) and the Holders hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantors under the Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantors and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to Section 9.06, result in the obligations of such Guarantors under the Guarantee not constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 9.05 Contribution.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Guarantors, the Guarantors agree, inter se, that in the event any payment or distribution is made by any Guarantor (a Funding Guarantor) under the Guarantee, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor) for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Guarantor in discharging the Issuers obligations with respect to any Securities or any other Guarantors obligations with respect to the Guarantee. Adjusted Net Assets of such Guarantor at any date shall mean the lesser of the amount by which (x) the
- 35 -
fair value of the property of such Guarantor exceeds the total amount of liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent liabilities (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of its Guarantee), but excluding liabilities under the Guarantee, of such Guarantor at such date and (y) the present fair salable value of the assets of such Guarantor at such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Guarantor on its debts (after giving effect to all other fixed and contingent liabilities incurred or assumed on such date and after giving effect to any collection from any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee), excluding debt in respect of the Guarantee of such Guarantor, as they become absolute and matured. This Section 9.05 shall be for the benefit of the Issuer, the Company and the Guarantors and does not inure to the benefit of and may not be relied upon by any third party beneficiaries.
Section 9.06 Waiver of Subrogation.
Until all guaranteed obligations under this Indenture and with respect to all Securities of an applicable Series are paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantors obligations under the Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Securities of the applicable Series against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Securities of the applicable Series shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Securities of the applicable Series, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Securities of the applicable Series, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 9.07 Execution of Guarantee.
To evidence their guarantee to the Holders set forth in this Article Nine, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit A or in any such other form set forth in the Authorizing Resolution or supplemental indenture pertaining to the applicable Series, which shall be endorsed on each Security ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Article Nine shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a notation of such Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each Guarantor by two Officers, or an Officer and an Assistant Secretary or one Officer shall sign and one Officer or an Assistant Secretary (each of whom shall, in each case, have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall attest to such Guarantee prior to the
- 36 -
authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of such Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Guarantee may be by manual or facsimile signature of such Officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case any such Officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such Officer before the Security on which such Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Issuer, such Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company or the other Guarantor.

The Issuer and the Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of the outstanding Securities of each such Series affected by the amendment, may execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to, or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or modifying the rights of the Holders of such Securities, except that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security affected by the supplemental indenture, among other things:
(1) change the final maturity of the Securities, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, on the Securities, or reduce the principal amount of the Securities, or impair the right to institute suit for payment of the Securities;
(2) reduce the percentage of Securities, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental indenture, for any waiver of compliance with Sections 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 10.02, a past Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security and their consequences provided in this Indenture, or any other covenant or provision;
(3) modify any of the provisions regarding the modification of this Indenture, waivers of a past Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security or waivers of Sections 6.04, 6.07 or this Section 10.02, except to increase any percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby;

Without the consent of the Holders of a Series of Securities affected, however, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, shall not be able to effect any of the actions contemplated by clauses (1) - (6) of this Section. Each such Series shall vote as a separate class.
An amendment of a provision included solely for the benefit of one or more Series does not affect the interests of Holders of any other Series.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplement, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
Section 10.03 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.
Section 10.04 Revocation and Effect of Consents.
A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. Subject to the following paragraph, any such Holder or subsequent Holder, however, may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a Security. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a Record Date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any Series entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver, which Record Date shall be at least 10 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent. If a Record Date is fixed, then notwithstanding the last sentence of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such Record Date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such Record Date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such Record Date.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (1) through (6) of Section 10.02, in which case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind only each Holder of a Security who has
- 39 -
consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holders Security; provided that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on a Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates without the consent of such Holder.
Section 10.05 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security or a Guarantee, the Issuer may or the Company may cause the Issuer to require the Holder of the Security or the Guarantor, as applicable, to deliver such Security or Guarantee to the Trustee, at which time the Trustee shall place an appropriate notation on the Security or Guarantee, as applicable, about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Trustee or the Issuer so determines or the Company causes the Issuer to so determine, the Issuer in exchange for the Security or Guarantee, as applicable, shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.
Section 10.06 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.
Subject to Section 7.02(b), the Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing or refusing to sign any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be given and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Issuer in accordance with its terms.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
Conversion of Securities
Section 11.01 Applicability of Article.
Securities of any Series which are convertible into Common Stock at the option of the Holder shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and unless the Authorizing Resolution provides otherwise, in accordance with this Article. Each reference in this Article Eleven to a Security or the Securities refers to the Securities of the particular Series that is convertible into Common Stock. If more than one Series of Securities with conversion privileges are outstanding at any time, the provisions of this Article Eleven shall be applied separately to each such Series.
Section 11.02 Conversion Privilege.
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article Eleven, the Holder of any Security so designated shall have the right, at its, his or her option, at any time prior to the close of business on the date specified in the Securities of such Series (or if such Security or
- 40 -
portion thereof is called for redemption prior to such date, then in respect of such Security or portion thereof to and including but not after the close of business on the second day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, then on the next following Business Day) preceding the date fixed for such redemption) to convert the principal amount of any such Security, or any portion of such principal amount which is $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys Common Stock (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100th of a share) obtained by dividing the principal amount of the Security or portion thereof to be converted by the Conversion Price and by surrender of the Security so to be converted in whole or in part, such surrender to be made in the manner provided in Section 11.03. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, if the Issuer shall fail to redeem a Security which has been called for redemption, the Holder of such Security shall retain the right to convert such Security as provided in this Article Eleven.
Section 11.03 Manner of Exercise of Conversion Privilege.
In order to exercise a conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted in whole or in part shall surrender such Security at any of the offices or agencies to be maintained for such purpose by the Issuer pursuant to Section 2.01, and shall give notice to the Issuer and the Company in the form provided in the Security, duly executed, at such office or agency that the Holder elects to convert such Security or the portion thereof specified in said notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names, together with the address or addresses, in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued. Each Security surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the name in which such Security is registered, be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the Holder or its, his or her duly authorized attorney. Securities so surrendered during the period from the close of business on a Record Date, or the next preceding Business Day if such Record Date is not a Business Day, preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during such period) shall also be accompanied by payment in next-day funds or other funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security then being converted; provided, however, that, if the Issuer shall default on the payment of said interest, said funds shall be returnable to the payor thereof. As promptly as practicable after the surrender of such Security, as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency to such Holder, or on its, his or her written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Security or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article Eleven and any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section 11.04. In case any Security of a denomination greater than $2,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Issuer and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the order of the Holder of the Security so surrendered, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Security or Securities and Guarantee or Guarantees in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Security. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such Security shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Issuer and the Company as aforesaid, and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or
- 41 -
certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby at such time and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect at such time, unless the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed on that date, in which event such Person or Persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Price in effect on the date upon which such Security shall have been surrendered and such notice received by the Issuer and the Company. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for a payment in the event of conversion after the close of business on a Record Date preceding an Interest Payment Date, no payment or adjustment shall be made on conversion for interest accrued on the Securities surrendered for conversion or for dividends on the Common Stock delivered on such conversion.
Section 11.04 Payment in Lieu of Fractional Shares.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of the Securities. Instead of any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of any Security or Securities, the Issuer and/or the Company shall make an adjustment therefor to the nearest 1/100th of a share in cash at the Current Market Price thereof at the close of business on the Business Day next preceding the day of conversion. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, or specified portions thereof to be converted, so surrendered.
Section 11.05 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall hereafter (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issue by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock or other Capital Stock of the Company which it, he or she would have owned immediately following such action had such Security been converted immediately prior thereto. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the Record Date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a), the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) shall determine in an equitable manner the allocation of the adjusted Conversion Price between
- 42 -
or among shares of such classes of Capital Stock or shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock.
(b) In case the Company shall hereafter issue rights or warrants to holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock generally entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the Record Date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date mentioned below, the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants.
(c) In case the Company shall hereafter distribute to holders of its outstanding Common Stock generally evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend paid from retained earnings of the Company and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 11.05) or rights or warrants to subscribe to securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 11.05), then in each such case the Conversion Price of the shares of Common Stock shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price per share of the Common Stock on the Record Date mentioned below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Trustee and with the Registrar) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock, and of which the denominator shall be such Current Market Price per share of Common Stock. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(d) In any case in which this Section 11.05 shall require that an adjustment be made immediately following a Record Date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Issuer with the Trustee and the Registrar of the certificate of independent public accountants described in subsection (f) of this Section 11.05) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such Record Date the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion over and above the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior to adjustment.
(e) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (e) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided further that
- 43 -
adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Article Eleven (other than this subsection (e)), not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of Securities or Common Stock. All calculations under this Section 11.05 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. Anything in this Section 11.05 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by this Section 11.05, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights to purchase stock or securities, or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock hereafter made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable.
(f) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, (i) the Issuer and the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and the Registrar a certificate of a firm of independent public accountants setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the manner of computing the same, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment and (ii) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be given by the Issuer and the Company to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 12.02. Subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), the Trustee and any conversion agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate or the certificate provided for in Section 11.10 except to exhibit the same from time to time to any Holder of a Security desiring an inspection of such certificate.
(g) In the event that at any time as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 11.05, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article Eleven.
Section 11.06 Notice of Certain Corporate Action.
In the event:
(a) the Company shall take any action which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 11.05(c); or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock (as a class) of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of stock of any class or of any other rights; or
(c) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of the outstanding Common Stock and other than a change in the par value of the Common Stock), or any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party or any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation and for
- 44 -
which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company; then the Issuer and the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Registrar, and shall cause to be given to the Holders, in the manner provided in Section 12.02, at least 14 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such distribution or rights are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in subsection (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 11.06.
Section 11.07 Company to Provide Stock.
The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting conversions of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities not theretofore converted. For purposes of this Section 11.07, the number of shares of Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities shall be computed as if at the time of computation all outstanding Securities were held by a single Holder.
Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value (if any) of the shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversions of the Securities, the Company will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.
The Company will endeavor to list the shares of Common Stock required to be delivered upon conversion of Securities prior to such delivery upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding Common Stock is listed at the time of such delivery.
Prior to the delivery of any securities which the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Securities, the Company will endeavor to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.
Section 11.08 Taxes on Conversions.
The Issuer and/or the Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on
- 45 -
conversions of Securities pursuant hereto; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor the Company shall be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Securities to be converted and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue or delivery has paid to the Issuer and/or the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Issuer and the Company, that such tax has been paid.
Section 11.09 Covenant as to Stock.
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be delivered upon conversions of Securities will upon delivery be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights.
Section 11.10 Consolidation or Merger.
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, in case of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation, or in case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, or in the case of any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation (including any exchange effected in connection with a merger of a third corporation into the Company), there shall be no adjustments under Section 11.05 but the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Security into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which he would have owned or have been entitled to receive immediately after such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance had such Security been converted immediately prior to the effective date of such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance and in any such case, if necessary, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth in this Article Eleven with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Holders of the Securities, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article Eleven shall thereafter correspondingly be made applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, in relation to any shares of stock or other securities or property thereafter deliverable on the conversion of the Securities. Any such adjustment shall be made by and set forth in a supplemental indenture executed by the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee and approved by a firm of independent public accountants, evidenced by a certificate to that effect; and any adjustment so approved shall for all purposes hereof conclusively be deemed to be an appropriate adjustment.
The above provisions of this Section 11.10 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, statutory exchanges, sales or conveyances.
The Issuer shall give notice of the execution of such a supplemental indenture to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 12.02 within 30 days after the execution thereof.
The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of
- 46 -
shares of stock or securities or property receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, sale or conveyance, or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.
Section 11.11 Disclaimer of Responsibility for Certain Matters.
Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be accountable with respect to the listing or registration referred to in Section 11.07 or the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Security; and neither the Trustee nor the Registrar makes any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Registrar shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or to make any cash payment upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose of conversion or, subject to TIA Section 315(a), (c) and (d), to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Article Eleven.
