If there is delivered to the Company (i) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save the Company and any agent of the Company harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Company that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If an Event of Default with respect to Outstanding Notes (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(e) or 4.1(f) hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 20% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company, may declare due and payable 100% of the principal amount of all Outstanding Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest to the date of payment. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such Principal amount, and accrued and unpaid Interest to the date of payment shall be immediately due and payable.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 4.1(e) and 4.1(f) occurs, the Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest on the Outstanding Notes shall become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of any Holder.
The Holders of not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, may, through notice to the Company on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind and annul an acceleration and its consequences (including waiver of any Defaults) if:
(a) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of a Defaulted Payment on the Notes which has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been remedied, cured or waived, and
(b) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided, however, that in the event such declaration of acceleration has been made based on the existence of an Event of Default under Section 4.1(d) and the default with respect to indebtedness for money borrowed which gave rise to such Event of Default has been remedied, cured or waived within 20 days of the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto in accordance with this Section 4.2, then, without any further action by the Holders, such declaration of acceleration shall be rescinded automatically and the consequences of such declaration shall be annulled, provided that the conditions specified in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) are satisfied. No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

18


 

Section 4.3. Waiver of Past Defaults.
The Holders, through the written consent of not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default, except a Default or Event of Default:
(a) set forth in Sections 4.1(a) and (b); provided, however, that subject to Section 4.7, the Holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration;
(b) set forth in Section 4.1(c) in respect of its obligation to convert this Note to Common Stock and cash as required by Article 9; or
(c) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which, under Section 5.2 hereof, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Note affected.
Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Note; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 4.4. Control by Majority.

Section 4.7. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
No right or remedy conferred in this Note upon or reserved to the Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 4.8. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or any acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 4 or by law to the Holder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holder.
Section 4.9. Undertaking for Costs.
All parties to this Note agree that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Note, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant.
Section 4.10. Waiver of Stay, Usury or Extension Laws.
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, usury or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede by reason of such law the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 5.2. With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided below in this Section 5.2, the Notes may be amended, modified or supplemented, and, subject to Section 4.3, noncompliance in any particular instance with any provision of the Notes may be waived, with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.

Section 5.3. Notice of Amendment.
After a modification or amendment becomes effective, the Company shall deliver to the affected Holders a notice briefly describing such modification or amendment. Failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, shall not impair or affect the validity and effect of such modification or amendment.
Section 5.4. Revocation of Consents and Effect of Consents or Votes.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a written consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note; provided, however, that unless a record date shall have been established, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of a Note if the Company receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

Section 5.5. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note:
(a) the Company may require the Holder of a Note to deliver such Notes to the Company, the Company may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Company may place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter issued; or
(b) if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Note shall issue a new Note that reflects the changed terms.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not impair or affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
Section 5.6. Effect of Amendment.
Upon the execution of any supplemental amendment under this Article 5, this Note shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such amendment shall form a part of this Note for all purposes; and, except as otherwise provided herein, every Holder of a Note theretofore or thereafter issued shall be bound thereby.

Such Optional Repurchase Price or Change of Control Repurchase Price, as applicable, shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (x) the applicable Repurchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.2(c), as applicable, have been satisfied), and (y) the time of delivery of such Note or portion thereof to the Company by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.2(c), as applicable. Notes in respect of which an Optional Repurchase Notice or Change of Control Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 9 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Optional Repurchase Notice or Change of Control Repurchase Notice unless such Optional Repurchase Notice or Change of Control Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 8.3(b).

ARTICLE 9
CONVERSION
Section 9.1. Conversion Right; Expiration of Conversion Right; Conversion Rate.
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder at any time after November 4, 2008 and from time to time thereafter prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the Stated Maturity, this Note or any portion of the principal amount hereof (including any Additional PIK Notes) may be converted at the principal amount hereof, or of such portion thereof, into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Rate, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. The rate at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be equal to 0.6048 shares of Common Stock per $1.00 principal amount of this Note converted, subject to adjustment, in certain instances, as provided in Section 9.4.
Section 9.2. Exercise of Conversion Right.
(a) To exercise its conversion right hereunder, the Holder must (1) complete a conversion notice, the form of which is provided in Exhibit C, to the Company stating that the Holder elects to convert this Note or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted, (2) deliver the duly signed completed conversion notice and this Note duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at the office of the Company and (3) subject to Section 9.8, pay any transfer taxes or other applicable taxes or duties, if required.
(b) This Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of this Note for conversion and completion of the other conversion requirements in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holder as such shall cease, and the Holder shall, subject to Section 50 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 of the British Virgin Islands, as of the close of business on such day, be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion.

 

35


 

(c) In the event that this Note is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of this Note.
(d) No more than 15 Business Days after the Conversion Date, Parent shall issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates or a security entitlement for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note, together with (i) payment in cash in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 9.3 hereof (ii) accrued and unpaid Interest (other than that has been paid in Additional PIK Notes) on this Note from the preceding Interest Payment Date (or such earlier date to which Interest was last paid) to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. If the Conversion Date is on or after a Regular Record Date and on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the accrued and unpaid Interest up to such Regular Record Date, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date, and the Holder of the Note on such Conversion Date will be paid the accrued and unpaid Interest for the period commencing from the close of business on such Regular Record Date to, but not including, the Conversion Date. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of this Note to a Person subject to the Shareholder Agreement shall bear a restricted securities legend as set forth in the Shareholder Agreement.
(e) Subject to Section 9.2(b) hereof and Section 50 of the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 of the British Virgin Islands, the Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock in respect of the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Note until the Holder has converted this Note to Common Stock, and only to the extent this Note is deemed to have been converted into Common Stock pursuant to this Article 9.
Section 9.3. Fractions of Shares.
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional shares of Common Stock which would otherwise be issued upon conversion of this Note (or specified portion hereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest 1/100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the average of the Volume Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on each of the five Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date.

 

36


 

Section 9.4. Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, calculated in good faith by the Company, from time to time as follows:
(a) In case the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or reclassified into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day immediately following the day upon which such subdivision or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day immediately following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced. Such reduction or increase, as applicable, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day immediately following the day upon which such subdivision or combination or reclassification becomes effective.
(b) In case Parent shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock shares additional shares of Common Stock, but excluding:
(i) any rights or warrants with respect to Common Stock exercisable at a price no less than the Volume Weighted Average Price for the ten Trading Days before the declaration date of such distribution; and
(ii) dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 9.5 applies;
then, in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day immediately following the record date of such dividend or distribution by a fraction:
(i) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock Outstanding at the closing of business on the record date for such dividend or distribution; and
(ii) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock that would be Outstanding immediately after, and solely as a result of, such dividend or distribution.
Such increase shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day immediately following the record date for such dividend or distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

37


 

(c) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 9.4(c) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, annually on the anniversary of the Original Issuance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall deliver a notice, together with a reasonably detailed written explanation of the calculation, to the Holder of any event that gives rise to an adjustment of the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.4(a) or Section 9.4(b), or any event that would give rise to such an adjustment but for the first sentence of this Section 9.4(c), within ten days following the occurrence of such event.
(d) All calculations under this Article 9 shall be made by the Company in good faith and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as applicable.
(e) For purposes of this Section 9.4, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time Outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company.
Section 9.5. Consolidation or Merger of Parent.
If any of the following events occurs, namely:
(a) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Capital Stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock;
(b) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of Parent with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Capital Stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock; or

 

38


 

(c) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of Parent to any other Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Capital Stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock,
this Note shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had this Note been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance. If such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance causes Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than one type of consideration (determined based in part on any form of election by holders of Common Stock), the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) into which this Note shall be convertible will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount of shares of Capital Stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) received by holders of Common Stock that effectively make such an election.
The above provisions of this Section 9.5 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.
If this Section 9.5 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 9.4 shall not apply.
Section 9.6. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.
Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly provide the Holder with a written notice setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
Section 9.7. Common Stock to be Fully Paid and Nonassessable.
Parent covenants that all Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of this Note will upon issue be duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable and will not be in violation of any preemptive rights. Except as provided in Section 9.8, the Company shall pay all taxes, liens and other charges whatsoever with respect to the issue thereof.
Section 9.8. Taxes on Conversions.
Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock to the Holder on conversion of this Note pursuant to Article 9.

 

39


 

Section 9.9. Cancellation of Converted Notes.
All Notes delivered for conversion and converted in accordance with this Article 9 shall be canceled by or at the direction of the Company.
Section 9.10. Limitation on Conversion.
The Holder of this Note may only convert this Note to the extent that the principal amount of this Note to be converted, together with the aggregate principal amount to be converted by the Holder of any other Notes on the same Conversion Date, is at least $10,000.
ARTICLE 10
PARENT GUARANTEE
Section 10.1. Guarantee.
(a) Subject to this Article 10, Parent, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, by executing this Note fully, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holder of this Note, on a senior unsecured basis, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Note and the obligations of the Company hereunder:
(i) any and all present and future amounts under this Note, including, without limitation, the Principal of, premium, if any, and Interest on this Note, will be punctually paid in full when due, whether absolute or contingent, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holder hereunder will be punctually performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof; and
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of this Note or any of such other obligations, that same will be punctually paid in full when due or promptly performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
All of Parent’s obligations under this Section 10.1(a) are collectively referred to as “Guarantor Obligations.”
(b) Parent waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Company of any of the Guarantor Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Parent waives (to the extent permitted by law) notice of any default under this Note or the Guarantor Obligations. Parent further agrees that its guarantee herein (the “Guarantee”) constitutes a continuing guarantee of payment when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Holder to any security held for payment of the Guarantor Obligations.

 

40


 

(c) Except as set forth in Section 10.1(h) of this Note, the obligations of Parent hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, irregularity, illegality or unenforceability of this Note or the Guarantor Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor Obligations shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Company or any other Person under this Note or any other agreement executed or delivered in connection with this Note; (ii) any extension or renewal of this Note or any other agreement executed or delivered in connection with this Note; (iii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Note or any other agreement executed or delivered in connection with this Note; (iv) any change in the ownership of the Company or Parent; (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guarantor Obligations; (vi) the power, authority or capacity of the Company; (vii) the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same; or (viii) any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Parent or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Parent as a matter of law or equity.
(d) Until the payment of the Guarantor Obligations in full, Parent shall not exercise any right of subrogation in relation to payments made by Parent pursuant to the Guarantee.
(e) Parent agrees that the Guarantee herein shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the Guarantor Obligations or Parent is released from its Guarantee in compliance with Section 10.1(h) of this Note. Parent further agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be delayed or restrained upon the commencement of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings in relation to the Company or any of its property whether or not any collection, enforcement or other action against the Company or any of its property is stayed or enjoined. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, Parent’s obligations hereunder in relation to such payment shall be reinstated at such time as though such payment had not been made.
(f) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which the Holder has at law or in equity against Parent by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guarantor Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at Stated Maturity or by acceleration, optional prepayment, mandatory repayment or otherwise, Parent hereby promises to and will, upon receipt of written demand by the Holder, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holder an amount equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid amount of such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing and (ii) accrued and unpaid Interest on such Guarantor Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) (including Interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Company or Parent whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding).

 

41


 

(g) Parent further agrees that, as between Parent, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as (and to the extent) provided in this Note for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guarantor Obligations guaranteed hereby and (ii) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Guarantor Obligations, such Guarantor Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Parent for the purposes of this Guarantee.
(h) Parent shall automatically be released from all of its obligations under this Note upon discharge of this Note in accordance with Article 3.
(i) Parent shall pay all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Holder in collecting or enforcing Parent’s obligations hereunder.
(j) Parent’s liability hereunder is independent of any other guarantees or other obligations at any time in effect in relation to the Guarantor Obligations or the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 21, 2008, by and among Parent, the Company and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., and such liability hereunder may be enforced regardless of the existence, validity, enforcement or non-enforcement of any such other guarantees or obligations. The Holder shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with Parent its assessment of the financial condition of the Company.
(k) No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power under the Guarantee shall operate as a waiver thereof.
Section 10.2. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Parent, and by its acceptance of this Note, the Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of Parent does not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holder and Parent hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of Parent will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of Parent that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of Parent under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 11.2. Acts of Holders of Notes.
(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by the Notes to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy duly appointed in writing.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Note, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Note and conclusive in favor of the Company if made in the manner provided in this Section 11.2.
(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be provided in any manner that the Company reasonably deems sufficient.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of the Holders of any Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note or notice thereof is otherwise given to any Holder.
Section 11.3. Certificate as to Conditions Precedent.
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by only one such Person, or that they be so certified by only one document, but one such Person may certify with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify as to such matters in one or several documents.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under the Notes, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.

 

45


 

Section 11.4. Statements Required in Certificate.
Each certificate with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Note shall include:
(a) a statement that each individual signing such certificate on behalf of the Company has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto; and
(b) a statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition or covenant has been complied with.
Section 11.5. Effect of Headings.
The Article and Section headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 11.6. Successors and Assigns.
Except as specifically permitted by this Section 11.6, no covenants or agreements by, or obligations of, the Company or Parent in this Note shall be assigned by the Company or Parent, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any consolidation of the Company or Parent, or merger of the Company or Parent, into or with any other Person, or any conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Company or Parent, as applicable, the successor Person (the “Permitted Successor”) formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company or Parent, as applicable, is merged or to which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or Parent, as applicable, under this Note with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company or Parent, as applicable, herein, provided that (i) the Company or Parent, as applicable, delivers prior written notice to all the Holders and (ii) the successor Person agrees in writing to become a party to, assume all of the Company’s or Parent’s, as applicable, obligations under, and be bound by the terms of, this Note upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease.
Section 11.7. Severability Clause.
In case any provision in this Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 11.8. Benefits of Note.
Nothing contained in this Note, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Note.

 

46


 

Section 11.9. Governing Law.
This Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (including Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York but otherwise without regard to conflict of laws principles).
Section 11.10. Counterparts.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 11.11. Legal Holidays.
In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Repurchase Date or Stated Maturity of this Note or the last day on which the Holder has a right to convert this Note shall not be a Business Day at the office of the Company specified in Section 11.1(a), then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Note) payment of Principal on, or Interest on, conversion of this Note, need not be made at such office on such day, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such office with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Repurchase Date or at the Stated Maturity or on such last day for conversion; provided, however, that in case payment is made on such succeeding Business Day, no Interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Repurchase Date or Stated Maturity, as applicable.
Section 11.12. Recourse Against Others.
No recourse for the payment of the Principal of or Interest on this Note, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director or manager, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or Parent or any successor entity to any of the Company, Parent or such successor entity, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue thereof, expressly waived and released.
Section 11.13. No Setoff.
All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company or Parent hereunder, whether on account of Principal, Interest, premium or otherwise, shall be made without any setoff or counterclaim.

 

47


 

Section 11.14. Calculations in Respect of the Notes.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company shall be responsible for making all calculations called for under the Notes. The Company or its agents will make all such calculations in good faith. All the parties to this Note agree that, absent manifest error, such calculations shall be final and binding on all Holders. The Company shall, upon request from any Holder, forward any such calculations that such Holder requests.
Section 11.15. Tax Treatment.
The Company agrees, and by acceptance of beneficial ownership interest in this Note each beneficial holder of this Note will be deemed to have agreed, for United States federal income tax purposes to treat this Note as indebtedness that is not subject to the contingent payment debt instrument regulations under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.1275-4.
Section 11.16. Withholding Taxes.
(a) The Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Note, such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable tax laws. If, prior to any such payment, the Company receives from the Holder of this Note duly executed, valid, accurate and properly completed documentation (including, as applicable, the forms described in Section 11.16(b) hereof) evidencing the right of the Holder for an exemption from deductions or withholdings on such payment, the Company shall pay such payment to the Holder, free and clear of deductions of tax as evidenced by such documentation. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Note as having been paid to the Holder.
(b) If the Holder is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or, to the extent applicable, is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, the Holder shall (i) on or prior to the date such party becomes the Holder hereunder, (ii) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause, and (iv) from time to time if requested by Company, provide the Company with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. lender party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax), (B) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) and/or W-8IMY or any successor forms, (C) if the Holder is claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Company that the Holder is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, or (D) any other applicable document prescribed by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service certifying as to the entitlement of the Holder to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made pursuant to this Note.
