- 6 -

consists of such consideration.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the transactions contemplated by the Plan (including the establishment of a holding company above the Parent) shall not be deemed, individually or in the aggregate, to constitute a Fundamental Change and (ii) a Fundamental Change shall not be deemed to occur pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above if (x) Parent becomes a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of a holding company or a holding company becomes the successor to Parent under Section 6.02 pursuant to a transaction that is permitted under Section 6.01 of the Indenture and (y) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that transaction (or a series of related transactions) are substantially the same (and hold in the same proportions) as the holders of Parent’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction. “Voting Stock” means, with respect to any specified Person as of any date, the capital stock of such Person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such Person.

For the purposes of this definition, (x) any transaction or event described in both clause (A) and in clause (B)(i) or (ii) above (without regard to the proviso in clause (B)) will be deemed to occur solely pursuant to clause (B) above (subject to such proviso); and (y) whether a Person is a beneficial owner and whether shares are beneficially owned will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

The terms contained in the Notes constitute part of this Indenture, and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, agree to such terms and to be bound thereby; provided, however, that, to the extent that any provision of any Note conflicts with the provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture will control for purposes of this Indenture and such Note.

 

Section 2.02. Execution, Authentication and Delivery.

 

(A)          Due Execution by the Company. At least one (1) duly authorized Officer will sign the Notes on behalf of the Company by manual or facsimile signature. A Note’s validity will not be affected by the failure of any Officer whose signature is on any Note to hold, at the time such Note is authenticated, the same or any other office at the Company.

 

(B)           Authentication by the Trustee and Delivery.

 

(i)      No Note will be valid until it is authenticated by the Trustee. A Note will be deemed to be duly authenticated only when an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or a duly appointed authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication of such Note.

 

(ii)      The Trustee will cause an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or a duly appointed authenticating agent) to manually sign the certificate of authentication of a Note only if (1) the Company delivers such Note to the Trustee; (2) such Note is executed by the Company in accordance with Section 2.02(A); and (3) the Company delivers a Company Order to the Trustee that (a) requests the Trustee to authenticate such Note; and (b) sets forth the name of the Holder of such Note and the date as of which such Note is to be authenticated. If such Company Order also requests the Trustee to deliver such Note to any Holder or to the Depositary, then the Trustee will promptly deliver such Note in accordance with such Company Order.

 

(iii)     The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes. A duly appointed authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so under this Indenture, and a Note authenticated as provided in this Indenture by such an agent will be deemed, for purposes of this Indenture, to be authenticated by the Trustee. Each duly appointed authenticating agent will have the same rights to deal with the Company as the Trustee would have if it were performing the duties that the authentication agent was validly appointed to undertake.

On the Issue Date, there will be originally issued one hundred twenty four million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-seven dollars ($124,999,999) aggregate principal amount of Notes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Section 2.02). Notes issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(A), and any Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, are referred to in this Indenture as the Initial Notes.”

 

(B)           Additional Notes. The Company may, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Section 2.02), originally issue additional Notes with the same terms as the initial Notes (except, to the extent applicable, with respect to the date as of which interest begins to accrue on such additional Notes and the first Interest Payment Date and the Last Original Issue Date of such additional Notes), which additional Notes will, subject to the foregoing, be considered to be part of the same series of, and rank equally and ratably with all other, Notes issued under this Indenture; provided, however, that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with other Notes issued under this Indenture for federal income tax or federal securities laws purposes, then such additional Notes will be identified by a separate CUSIP number or by no CUSIP number.

 

Section 2.04. Method of Payment.

 

(A)          Global Notes. The Company will pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, the principal (whether due upon maturity on the Maturity Date, Redemption on a Redemption Date or repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or otherwise) of, interest on, and any cash Conversion Consideration for, any Global Note to the Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds no later than the time the same is due as provided in this Indenture.

 

(B)           Physical Notes. The Company will pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, the principal (whether due upon maturity on the Maturity Date, Redemption on a Redemption Date or repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or otherwise) of, interest on, and any cash Conversion Consideration for, any Physical Note no later than the time the same is due as provided in this Indenture as follows: (i) if the principal amount of such Physical Note is at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) (or such lower amount as the Company may choose in its sole and absolute discretion) and the Holder of such Physical Note entitled to such payment has delivered to the Paying Agent or the Trustee, no later than the time set forth in the immediately following sentence, a written request that the Company make such payment by wire transfer to an account of such Holder within the United States, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account; and (ii) in all other cases, by check mailed to the address of the Holder of such Physical Note entitled to such payment as set forth in the Register. To be timely, such written request must be so delivered no later than the Close of Business on the following date: (x) with respect to the payment of any interest due on an Interest Payment Date, the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; (y) with respect to any cash Conversion Consideration, the relevant Conversion Date; and (z) with respect to any other payment, the date that is fifteen (15) calendar days immediately before the date such payment is due.

Section 2.05. Accrual of Interest; Defaulted Amounts; When Payment Date is Not a Business Day.

 

(A)          Accrual of Interest. Each Note will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% (the “Stated Interest”), plus any Additional Interest and Special Interest that may accrue pursuant to Sections 3.03 and 7.03, respectively. Stated Interest on each Note will (i) accrue from, and including, the most recent date to which Stated Interest has been paid or duly provided for (or, if no Stated Interest has theretofore been paid or duly provided for, the date set forth in the certificate representing such Note as the date from, and including, which Stated Interest will begin to accrue in such circumstance) to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Stated Interest; and (ii) be, subject to Sections 4.02(D), 4.03(F) and 5.02(D) (but without duplication of any payment of interest), payable semi-annually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on the first Interest Payment Date set forth in the certificate representing such Note, to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date. Stated Interest, and, if applicable, Additional Interest and Special Interest, on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

 

(B)           Defaulted Amounts. If the Company fails to pay any amount (a “Defaulted Amount”) payable on a Note on or before the due date therefor as provided in this Indenture, then, regardless of whether such failure constitutes an Event of Default, (i) such Defaulted Amount will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder of such Note otherwise entitled to such payment; (ii) to the extent lawful, interest (“Default Interest”) will accrue on such Defaulted Amount at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which Stated Interest accrues, from, and including, such due date to, but excluding, the date of payment of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest; (iii) such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest will be paid on a payment date selected by the Company to the Holder of such Note as of the Close of Business on a special record date selected by the Company, provided that such special record date must be no more than fifteen (15), nor less than ten (10), calendar days before such payment date; and (iv) at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such special record date, the Company will send notice to the Trustee and the Holders that states such special record date, such payment date and the amount of such Defaulted Amount and Default Interest to be paid on such payment date.

 

(C)           Delay of Payment when Payment Date is Not a Business Day. If the due date for a payment on a Note as provided in this Indenture is not a Business Day, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, such payment may be made on the immediately following Business Day and no interest will accrue on such payment as a result of the related delay. Solely for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a day on which the applicable place of payment is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed will be deemed not to be a “Business Day.”

 

Section 2.06. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.

 

(A)          Generally. The Company will maintain (i) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”); (ii) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for payment (the “Paying Agent”); and (iii) an office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be presented for conversion (the “Conversion Agent”). If the

- 22 -

Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then the Trustee will act as such. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent.

 

(B)           Duties of the Registrar. The Registrar will keep a record (the “Register”) of the names and addresses of the Holders, the Notes held by each Holder and the transfer, exchange, repurchase, Redemption and conversion of Notes. Absent manifest error, the entries in the Register will be conclusive and the Company and the Trustee may treat each Person whose name is recorded as a Holder in the Register as a Holder for all purposes. The Register will be in written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form reasonably promptly.

 

(C)           Co-Agents; Company’s Right to Appoint Successor Registrars, Paying Agents and Conversion Agents. The Company may appoint one or more co-Registrars, co-Paying Agents and co-Conversion Agents, each of whom will be deemed to be a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, under this Indenture. Subject to Section 2.06(A), the Company may change any Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent (including appointing itself or any of its Subsidiaries to act in such capacity) without notice to any Holder. The Company will notify the Trustee (and, upon request, any Holder) of the name and address of each Note Agent, if any, not a party to this Indenture and will enter into an appropriate agency agreement with each such Note Agent, which agreement will implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Note Agent.

 

(D)           Initial Appointments. The Company appoints the Trustee as the initial Paying Agent, the initial Registrar and the initial Conversion Agent.

 

Section 2.07. Paying Agent and Conversion Agent to Hold Property in Trust.

 

The Company will require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent that is not the Trustee to agree in writing that such Note Agent will (A) hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by such Note Agent for payment or delivery due on the Notes; and (B) notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment or delivery. The Company, at any time, may, and the Trustee, while any Default continues, may, require a Paying Agent or Conversion Agent to pay or deliver, as applicable, all money and other property held by it to the Trustee, after which payment or delivery, as applicable, such Note Agent (if not the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) will have no further liability for such money or property. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, then (A) it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money and other property held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent; and (B) references in this Indenture or the Notes to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent holding cash, or other property, or to the delivery of cash or other property to the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, in each case for payment or delivery to any Holders or the Trustee or with respect to the Notes, will be deemed to refer to cash or other property so segregated and held separately, or to the segregation and separate holding of such cash or other property, respectively. Upon the occurrence of any event pursuant to in clause (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(A) with respect to the Company (or with respect to any Subsidiary of the Company acting as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent), the Trustee will serve as the Paying Agent or

- 23 -

Conversion Agent, as applicable, for the Notes.

 

Section 2.08. Holder Lists.

 

If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company will furnish to the Trustee, no later than seven (7) Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request, a list, in such form and as of such date or time as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Holders.

 

Section 2.09. Legends.

 

(A)          Global Note Legend. Each Global Note will bear the Global Note Legend (or any similar legend required by the Depositary for such Global Note).

 

(B)           Private Placement Legend. Any Restricted Global Note will bear the Private Placement Legend.

 

(C)           Other Legends. A Note may bear any other legend or text, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as may be required by applicable law or by any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Note is traded or quoted.

 

(D)           Acknowledgement and Agreement by the Holders. A Holder’s acceptance of any Note bearing any legend required by this Section 2.09 will constitute such Holder’s acknowledgement of, and agreement to comply with, the restrictions set forth in such legend.

 

Section 2.10. Transfers and Exchanges; Certain Transfer Restrictions.

 

(A)          Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.

 

(i) Subject to this Section 2.10, Physical Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time and the Registrar will record each such transfer or exchange in the Register.

 

(ii) Each Note issued upon transfer or exchange of any other Note (such other Note being referred to as the “old Note” for purposes of this Section 2.10(A)(ii)) or portion thereof in accordance with this Indenture will be the valid obligation of the Company, evidencing the same indebtedness, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as such old Note or portion thereof, as applicable.

 

(iii) The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Note Agents will not impose any service charge on any Holder for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, but the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Registrar and the Conversion Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.16 or 8.05 not involving any transfer.

- 24 -

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, a Note may not be transferred or exchanged in part unless the portion to be so transferred or exchanged is in an Authorized Denomination.

 

(v) The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any transfer restrictions imposed under this Indenture or applicable law with respect to any Security, other than to require the delivery of such certificates or other documentation or evidence as expressly required by this Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the requirements of this Indenture.

 

(vi) Each Note issued upon transfer of, or in exchange for, another Note will bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.

The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable Procedures. Beneficial interests in the Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act. Transfers of beneficial interests in the Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (1) or (2) below, as applicable, and if applicable either subparagraph (3) or (4) below:

 

(1)          Transfer of Beneficial Interests in the Same Global Note. Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend. Beneficial interests in any Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note. No written orders or instructions shall be required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in this subsection (1).

 

(2)          All Other Transfers and Exchanges of Beneficial Interests in

- 25 -

Global Notes. In connection with all transfers and exchanges of beneficial interests that are not subject to subsection (1) above, the transferor of such beneficial interest must deliver to the Registrar a written order, through a Participant or an Indirect Participant in the applicable Global Note given to the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, instructing the Depositary to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the applicable Global Note in an amount equal to the beneficial interest to be transferred or exchanged and containing information regarding the Participant account to be credited with such increase.

 

(3)           Transfer of Beneficial Interests from one Restricted Global Note to Another Restricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Restricted Global Note if the transfer complies with the requirements of subsection (2) above and the Registrar receives the following:

 

(A)  if the transferee will take delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the 144A Global Note, a certificate from the holder certifying that the exchange or transfer is being effected pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and that the beneficial interest is being transferred to a Person that the Transferor reasonably believes is purchasing the beneficial interest for its own account, or for one or more accounts with respect to which such Person exercises sole investment discretion, and such Person and each such account is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, and such Transfer is in compliance with any applicable blue sky securities laws of any state of the United States; and

(4)           Transfer and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in a Restricted Global Note for Beneficial Interests in an Unrestricted Global Note. A beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any holder thereof for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies with the requirements of subsection (2) above and: (x) such exchange or transfer is effected pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act, or (y) the Registrar receives (A) a certificate from such holder certifying that the exchange or transfer has been effected in compliance with any transfer

- 26 -

restrictions applicable under the Securities Act, that the restrictions on transfer contained in the Private Placement Legend are not required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act and that the beneficial interest in the Unrestricted Global Note is being acquired in compliance with any applicable blue sky securities laws of any state of the United States, and (B) if the Registrar so requests, an Opinion of Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act.

 

(iii) No Global Note (or any portion thereof) may be transferred to, or exchanged for, a Physical Note; provided, however, that a Global Note will be exchanged, pursuant to customary procedures, for one or more Physical Notes if:

 

(1)            (x) the Depositary notifies the Company or the Trustee that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for such Global Note or (y) the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act and, in each case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation;

 

(2)            an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary, or from a holder of a beneficial interest in such Global Note, to exchange such Global Note or beneficial interest, as applicable, for one or more Physical Notes; or

 

(3)           the Company, in its sole discretion, permits the exchange of any beneficial interest in such Global Note for one or more Physical Notes at the request of the owner of such beneficial interest.

 

(iv) Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Indenture to effect a transfer or exchange of any Global Note (or any portion thereof):

 

(1)           the Trustee will reflect any resulting decrease of the principal amount of such Global Note by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of such Global Note (and, if such notation results in such Global Note having a principal amount of zero, the Company may (but is not required to) instruct the Trustee to cancel such Global Note pursuant to Section 2.14);

(4)           if such Global Note (or such portion thereof), or any beneficial

- 27 -

interest therein, is to be exchanged for one or more Physical Notes, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that are in Authorized Denominations (not to exceed, in the aggregate, the principal amount of such Global Note to be so exchanged), are registered in such name(s) as the Depositary specifies (or as otherwise determined pursuant to customary procedures) and bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09.

 

(v) Each transfer or exchange of a beneficial interest in any Global Note will be made in accordance with the Depositary Procedures.

 

(C)          Transfers and Exchanges of Physical Notes.

(1)           surrender such Physical Note to be transferred or exchanged to the office of the Registrar, together with any endorsements or transfer instruments reasonably required by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar; and

 

(2)           deliver such certificates, documentation or evidence as may be required pursuant to Section 2.10(D).

(1)            such old Physical Note will be promptly cancelled pursuant to Section 2.14;

 

(2)            if such old Physical Note is to be transferred or exchanged only in part, then the Company will issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, one or more Physical Notes that (x) are in Authorized Denominations and have an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such old Physical Note not to be transferred or exchanged; (y) are registered in the name of such Holder; and (z) bear each legend, if any, required by Section 2.09;

- 28 -

- 29 -

If a Holder of any Note that is an Affiliate requests to register the transfer of such Note to the name of another Person, then the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar may refuse to effect such identification, removal or transfer, as applicable, unless there is delivered to the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar such certificates or other documentation or evidence as the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar may reasonably require to determine that such transfer complies with the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

 

(E)           Transfers of Notes Subject to Redemption, Repurchase or Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Registrar will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note that (i) has been surrendered for conversion, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to conversion; (ii) is subject to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice validly delivered, and not withdrawn, pursuant to Section 4.02(F), except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to such notice or the Company fails to pay the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Price when due or (iii) has been selected for Redemption pursuant to a Redemption Notice, except to the extent that any portion of such Note is not subject to Redemption or the Company fails to pay the applicable Redemption Price when due.

Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.12 will be an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Notes issued under this Indenture.

 

Section 2.13. Registered Holders; Certain Rights with Respect to Global Notes.

 

Only the Holder of a Note will have rights under this Indenture as the owner of such Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Depositary Participants will have no rights as such under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary or its nominee, or by the Trustee as its custodian, and the Company, the Guarantors,

- 31 -

the Trustee and the Note Agents, and their respective agents, may treat the Depositary as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever; provided, however, that (A) the Holder of any Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Depositary Participants and Persons that hold interests in Notes through Depositary Participants, to take any action that such Holder is entitled to take with respect to such Global Note under this Indenture or the Notes; and (B) the Company and the Trustee, and their respective agents, may give effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary.

 

Section 2.14. Cancellation.

 

Without limiting the generality of Section 3.08, the Company may at any time deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will forward to the Trustee each Note duly surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee will promptly cancel all Notes so surrendered to it in accordance with its customary procedures. Without limiting the generality of Section 2.03(B), the Company may not originally issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been cancelled upon transfer, exchange, payment or conversion.

 

Section 2.15. Notes Held by the Company.

 

Without limiting the generality of Section 3.08, in determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company will be deemed not to be outstanding; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining whether the Trustee is protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

 

Section 2.16. TEMPORARY NOTES.

 

Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes. The Company will promptly prepare, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until so exchanged, each temporary Note will in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

 

Section 2.17. Outstanding Notes.

 

(A)          Generally. The Notes that are outstanding at any time will be deemed to be those Notes that, at such time, have been duly executed and authenticated, excluding those Notes (or portions thereof) that have theretofore been (i) cancelled by the Trustee or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.14; (ii) assigned a principal amount of zero by notation on the “Schedule of Exchanges of Interests in the Global Note” forming part of any a Global Note representing such Note; (iii) paid in full in accordance with this Indenture; or (iv) deemed to cease to be outstanding to the extent provided in, and subject to, clause (B), (C) or

- 32 -

(D) of this Section 2.17.

 

(B)           Replaced Notes. If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.12, then such Note will cease to be outstanding at the time of its replacement, unless the Trustee and the Company receive proof reasonably satisfactory to them that such Note is held by a “bona fide purchaser” under applicable law.

 

(C)           Maturing Notes and Notes Called for Redemption or Subject to Repurchase. If, on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date, the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, respectively, together, in each case, with the aggregate interest, in each case due on such date, then (unless there occurs a Default in the payment of any such amount) (i) the Notes (or portions thereof) to be redeemed or repurchased, or that mature, on such date will be deemed, as of such date, to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Sections 4.02(D), 4.03(F) or 5.02(D); and (ii) the rights of the Holders of such Notes (or such portions thereof), as such, will terminate with respect to such Notes (or such portions thereof), other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or principal amount, as applicable, of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Notes (or such portions thereof), in each case as provided in this Indenture.

 

(D)           Notes to Be Converted. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for any Note (or any portion thereof) to be converted, such Note (or such portion) will (unless there occurs a Default in the delivery of the Conversion Consideration or interest due, pursuant to Section 5.03(B) or Section 5.02(D), upon such conversion) be deemed to cease to be outstanding, except to the extent provided in Section 5.02(D).

 

(E)           Cessation of Accrual of Interest. Except as provided in Sections 4.02(D), 4.03(F) or 5.02(D), interest will cease to accrue on each Note from, and including, the date that such Note is deemed, pursuant to this Section 2.17, to cease to be outstanding, unless there occurs a default in the payment or delivery of any cash or other property due on such Note.

 

Section 2.18. Repurchases by the Company.

 

Without limiting the generality of Section 2.14, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase Notes in open market purchases, in negotiated transactions or otherwise without delivering prior notice to Holders; provided that no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing at such time.

 

Section 2.19. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

 

The Company may use one or more CUSIP or ISIN numbers to identify any of the Notes, and, if so, the Company and the Trustee will use such CUSIP or ISIN number(s) in notices to Holders; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee makes no representation as to the correctness or accuracy of any such CUSIP or ISIN number; and (ii) the effectiveness of any such notice will not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, any such CUSIP or ISIN number. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN number(s) identifying any Notes.

Article 3. COVENANTS

 

Section 3.01. Payment on Notes.

(B)          Deposit of Funds. Before 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or Interest Payment Date, and on the Maturity Date or any other date on which any cash amount is due on the Notes, the Company will deposit, or will cause there to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash, in funds immediately available on such date, sufficient to pay the cash amount due on the applicable Notes on such date. The Paying Agent will return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for such purpose.

 

Section 3.02. Reports.

 

(A)          Generally. The Company will send to the Trustee (i) copies of all reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date that the Company is required to file the same (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under the Exchange Act); provided, however, that the Company need not send to the Trustee any material for which the Company has received, or is seeking in good faith and has not been denied, confidential treatment by the SEC and (ii) customary quarterly financial reports within forty-five (45) calendar days of the end of each fiscal quarter. Any report that the Company files with the SEC through the EDGAR system or the RNS system in the United Kingdom (or any successor thereto) or posts on its website will be deemed to be sent to the Trustee at the time such report is so filed via the EDGAR system or RNS system (or such successor) or posted on its website. Upon the request of any Holder, the Trustee will provide to such Holder a copy of any report that the Company has sent the Trustee pursuant to this Section 3.02(A), other than a report that is deemed to be sent to the Trustee pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

(B)           Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee need not determine whether the Company has filed any material via the EDGAR system (or such successor). The sending or filing of reports to the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.02(A) is for informational purposes only and will not be deemed to constitute actual or constructive notice to the Trustee of any information contained, or determinable from information contained, therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants under this Indenture (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officer’s Certificate).

 

Section 3.03. Additional Interest.

 

(A)          Accrual of Additional Interest. If, at any time on or after the Last Original Issue Date of any Note, such Note is not Freely Tradable, then Additional Interest will accrue on such Note for each day during such period on which such failure is continuing or such Note is not Freely Tradable. For the avoidance of doubt, any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend is

 

- 34 -

deemed held by an Affiliate of the Company and no Additional Interest will accrue on the such Note.

 

(B)           Amount and Payment of Additional Interest. Any Additional Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to Section 3.03(A) will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the Stated Interest on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any Additional Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the Stated Interest that accrues on such Note and in addition to any Special Interest that accrues on such Note.

 

(C)           Notice of Accrual of Additional Interest; Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Company will send notice to the Holder of each Note, and to the Trustee, of the commencement and termination of any period in which Additional Interest accrues on such Note. In addition, if Additional Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business Days before each date on which such Additional Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Additional Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Additional Interest is payable or the amount thereof.

 

Section 3.04. Additional Amounts.

 

(A)          Requirement to Pay Additional Amounts. All payments and deliveries made by, or on behalf of, the Company under or with respect to the Notes (including payment of the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or the delivery of any consideration due upon conversion of, any Note) will be made without withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future Taxes, unless such withholding or deduction is required by law or regulation or by governmental policy having the force of law. If any Taxes levied by or on behalf of any jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) in which the Company or any Successor Corporation is, for tax purposes, organized or resident or doing business or through which payment is made or deemed to be made (each such jurisdiction, subdivision or authority, as applicable, a Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction”) are required to be withheld or deducted from any payments or deliveries made under or with respect to the Notes, then, subject to Section 4.03(C)(ii), the Company or such Successor Corporation, as applicable, will pay to the holder of each note such additional amounts (the Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary to ensure that the net amount received by the beneficial owner of such Note after such withholding or deduction (and after withholding or deducting any Taxes on the Additional Amounts) will equal the amounts that would have been received by such beneficial owner had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided, however, that such obligation to pay Additional Amounts will not apply to:

 

(i) any Tax that would not have been imposed but for:

 

(1)          the existence of any present or former connection between the Holder or beneficial owner of such Note and the Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction (other than merely holding or being a beneficial owner of such Note or the receipt or enforcement of payments thereunder), including such Holder or beneficial owner being or having been a

- 35 -

national, domiciliary or resident, or treated as a resident, of, or being or having been physically present or engaged in a trade or business, or having had a permanent establishment, in, such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction;

 

(2)          in cases where presentation of such Note is required to receive such payment or delivery, the presentation of such Note after a period of thirty (30) days after the later of (x) the date on which such payment or delivery became due and payable or deliverable, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and (y) the date such payment or delivery was made or duly provided for, except, in each case, to the extent that such Holder or beneficial owner would have been entitled to Additional Amounts if it presented such Note for payment or delivery, as applicable, at the end of such thirty (30) day period; or

 

(3)          the failure of such Holder or beneficial owner to comply with a timely request from the Company or the Successor Corporation, addressed to such Holder or beneficial owner, to (x) provide certification, information, documentation or other evidence concerning such Holder’s or beneficial owner’s nationality, residence, identity or connection with such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction; or (y) make any declaration or satisfy any other reporting requirement prescribed by applicable law as a basis to reduce or eliminate the amount of Tax required to be deducted or withheld with respect to payments or deliveries made under or with respect to the Notes, in each case if and to the extent that such Holder or beneficial owner is legally entitled to comply with such request; provided, however, that compliance with any of the foregoing (other than the provision of customary certification forms issued by the US Internal Revenue Service or with respect to U.S. withholding taxes) shall not be required if in the Holder’s or beneficial owner’s reasonable judgment such compliance would subject such Holder or beneficial owner to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice its legal or commercial position;

 

(ii) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer, personal property or similar Tax;

 

(iii) any tax that is payable other than by withholding or deduction from payments under or with respect to the Notes;

 

(iv) any withholding or deduction required by (x) sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code and any current or future U.S. Treasury Regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder (“FATCA”); (y) any inter-governmental agreement between the United States and any other non-U.S. jurisdiction to implement FATCA or any law enacted by such other jurisdiction to give effect to such agreement; or (z) any agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

(v) any taxes imposed on or with respect to any payment by the Company to such Holder if such Holder is a fiduciary, partnership or person other than the sole beneficial owner of such payment, to the extent that such payment would be required, under the laws of such Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction, to be included for tax purposes in the income of a beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary, a partner or member of such partnership, or a beneficial owner, who would not have been entitled to such additional amounts had such beneficiary, settlor, partner, member or beneficial owner been the Holder thereof;

- 36 -


 

(vi) withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable with respect to the Notes pursuant to a law or regulation in effect on the date on which a beneficial owner acquires any Notes; or

 

(vii) any combination of items referred to in the preceding clauses (i) through (vi), inclusive, above.

 

(B)           Indemnification for Other Taxes. The Company will pay and indemnify each Holder for any present or future stamp, issue, registration, transfer; court, documentary, excise or property Taxes (“Other Taxes”) levied by any Relevant Taxing Jurisdiction in connection with the execution, delivery, registration, issuance or enforcement of any of the Notes (other than on or in connection with a transfer of a note that occurs after the initial sales thereof) or the receipt of any payments or deliveries with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that, with respect to any such taxes attributable to the receipt of any payments or deliveries with respect to the Notes, Other Taxes will not include those excluded under any combination of clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Section 3.04(A).

 

(C)           For the avoidance of doubt, if any Note is called for a Tax Redemption and the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and on or before the next Interest Payment Date, then the Company’s obligation to pay Additional Amounts will apply to the interest payment due on such Note on such Interest Payment Date unless such Note is the subject to a Tax Redemption Opt-Out Election Notice.

 

(D)           Tax Receipts. If the Company is required to make any deduction or withholding from any payments with respect to the Notes, then the (i) Company will deliver to the Trustee official tax receipts (or, if, after expending reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain such receipts, other evidence of payments) evidencing the remittance to the relevant tax authorities of the amounts so withheld or deducted; and (ii) the Trustee or the Company will provide a copy of such receipts or evidence, as applicable, upon request from any Holder or beneficial owner of any Notes for whom such deduction or withholding is required to be made.

 

(E)           Interpretation of Indenture and Notes. All references in this Indenture or the Notes to any payment on, or delivery with respect to, the Notes (including payment of the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or the delivery of any Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of, any Note) will, to the extent that Additional Amounts are payable in respect thereof, be deemed to include the payment of such Additional Amounts.

 

(F)           Survival of Obligations. The obligations set forth in this Section 3.04 will survive any transfer of Notes by a Holder (or, in the case of a Global Note, a holder of a beneficial

 

- 37 -

interest therein).

 

Section 3.05. Compliance and Default Certificates.

 

(A)          Annual Compliance Certificate. Within ninety (90) days after December 31, 2019 and each fiscal year of the Company ending thereafter, the Company and the Guarantors will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating (i) that the signatory thereto has supervised a review of the activities of the Company and the Guarantors during such fiscal year with a view towards determining whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred; and (ii) whether, to such signatory’s knowledge, a Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing (and, if so, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default and what action the Company or Guarantors is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto).

 

(B)           Default Certificate. If a Default or Event of Default occurs, then the Company will promptly deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee describing the same and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

Section 3.06. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws.

 

To the extent that it may lawfully do so, the Company (A) agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law (wherever or whenever enacted or in force) that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (B) expressly waives all benefits or advantages of any such law and agrees that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee by this Indenture, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.

 

Section 3.07. Corporate Existence.

 

Subject to Article 6, the Company will cause to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

 

(A)          its corporate existence in accordance with the organizational documents of the Company; and

 

(B)           the material rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

 

provided, however, that the Company need not preserve or keep in full force and effect any such license or franchise if the Board of Directors determines that (x) the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; and (y) the loss thereof is not, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the Holders.

The Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to list the Ordinary Shares or ADRs representing Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq and maintain such listing for so long as any Notes are outstanding.

 

If the Company lists ADRs on Nasdaq, then the Company may by notice to the Trustee and the holders elect, subject to the terms of the ADR facility, to have future conversion of Notes settled in ADRs. For so long as such election is in effect, references to Ordinary Shares will be deemed to refer to ADRs and appropriate adjustment will be made to the settlement and trading provisions of the Notes to account for any deposit ratio between ADRs and Ordinary Shares; provided, that if ADRs cannot be issued to a converting holder under the terms of the ADR facility as then in place, then the settlement and the trading provisions will be deemed to refer to Ordinary Shares with respect to such conversion.

 

Section 3.11. Restricted Payments.

 

So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company and the Guarantors shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to declare or make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment:

(A)          Right of Holders to Require the Company to Repurchase Notes Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the other terms of this Section 4.02, if a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder will have the right (the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right”) to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Notes (or any portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date for such Fundamental Change for a cash purchase price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

For the avoidance of doubt, if an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day within the meaning of Section 2.05(C) and such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date occurs on the Business Day immediately after such Interest Payment Date, then (x) accrued and unpaid interest on Notes to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date will be paid, in accordance with Section 2.05(C), on the next Business Day to Holders at of the Close of Business on the immediately preceding Regular Record Date; and (y) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price will include interest on Notes to be repurchased from, and including, such Interest Payment Date.

(B)          Effect of Converting a Note. At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Note (or any portion thereof), such Note (or such portion thereof) will be deemed to cease to be outstanding (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Person will be deemed to be a Holder of such Note (or such portion thereof) as of the Close of Business on such Conversion Date), except to the extent provided in Section 5.02(D).
 
(C)          Holder of Record of Conversion Shares. The Person in whose name any Ordinary Share is issuable upon conversion of any Note will be deemed to become the holder of record of such share as of the Close of Business on (i) the Conversion Date for such conversion, in the case of Physical Settlement; or (ii) the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion, in the case of Combination Settlement.
 
(D)          Interest Payable upon Conversion. If the Conversion Date of a Note is after a Regular Record Date and before the next Interest Payment Date, then (i) the Holder of such Note
 
- 52 -

at the Close of Business on such Regular Record Date will be entitled, notwithstanding such conversion, to receive, on or, at the Company’s election, before such Interest Payment Date, the unpaid interest that would have accrued on such Note to, but excluding, such Interest Payment Date (assuming, solely for these purposes, that such Note remained outstanding through such Interest Payment Date).
 
(E)          Taxes and Duties. If a Holder converts a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of any Ordinary Shares upon such conversion; provided, however, that if any tax or duty is due because such Holder requested such shares to be registered in a name other than such Holder’s name, then such Holder will pay such tax or duty and, until having received a sum sufficient to pay such tax or duty, the Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver any such shares to be issued in a name other than that of such Holder.
 
(F)          Conversion Agent to Notify Company of Conversions. If any Note is submitted for conversion to the Conversion Agent or the Conversion Agent receives any notice of conversion with respect to a Note, then the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company and the Trustee of such occurrence, together with any other information reasonably requested by the Company, and will cooperate with the Company to determine the Conversion Date for such Note.

(iii) if any Notes are called for Redemption, then (1) the Company will
 
- 53 -

specify, in the related Redemption Notice sent pursuant to Section 4.03(G), the Settlement Method that will apply to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after the related Redemption Notice Date and before the related Redemption Date; and (2) if such Redemption Date occurs on or after October 1, 2024, then such Settlement Method must be the same Settlement Method that, pursuant to clause (i) above, applies to all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on or after October 1, 2024;
 
(iv) the Company will use the same Settlement Method for all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date that occurs on the same day (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not be obligated to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions of Notes whose Conversion Dates occur on different days, except as provided in clause (i) or (iii) above);
 
(v) if the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method with respect to the conversion of a Note, then the Company will be deemed to have elected the Default Settlement Method (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely make such election will not constitute a Default or Event of Default);
 
(vi) if the Company timely elects Combination Settlement with respect to the conversion of a Note but does not timely notify the Holder of such Note of the applicable Specified Dollar Amount, then the Specified Dollar Amount for such conversion will be deemed to be $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the failure to timely send such notification will not constitute a Default or Event of Default); and
 
(vii) the Settlement Method will be subject to Sections 5.09(A)(2).
 
(B)
Conversion Consideration.
 
(i) Generally. Subject to Section 5.03(B)(ii) and Section 5.03(B)(iii), the type and amount of consideration (the Conversion Consideration”) due in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of a Note to be converted will be as follows:

consideration consisting of (a) a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the sum of the Daily Share Amounts for each VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion; and (b) an amount of cash equal to the sum of the Daily Cash Amounts for each VWAP Trading Day in such Observation Period.
 
(ii) Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. If Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note and the number of Ordinary Shares deliverable pursuant to Section 5.03(B)(i) upon such conversion is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Company will deliver, in addition to the other consideration due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) (x) the Daily VWAP on the Conversion Date for such conversion (or, if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day), in the case of Physical Settlement; or (y) the Daily VWAP on the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion, in the case of Combination Settlement.
 
(iii) Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder converts more than one (1) Note on a single Conversion Date, then the Conversion Consideration due in respect of such conversion will (in the case of any Global Note, to the extent permitted by, and practicable under, the Depositary Procedures) be computed based on the total principal amount of Notes converted on such Conversion Date by such Holder.
 
(iv) Notice of Calculation of Conversion Consideration. If Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the conversion of any Note, then the Company will determine the Conversion Consideration due thereupon promptly following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period and will promptly thereafter send notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the same and the calculation thereof in reasonable detail. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent will have any duty to make any such determination.
 
(C)          Delivery of the Conversion Consideration. Except as set forth in Sections 5.05(A), 5.05(C) and 5.09, the Company will pay or deliver, as applicable, the Conversion Consideration due upon the conversion of any Note to the Holder as follows: (i) if Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to such conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the last VWAP Trading Day of the Observation Period for such conversion; and (ii) if Physical Settlement applies to such conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day immediately after the Conversion Date for such conversion.
 
(D)          Settlement of Accrued Interest Notwithstanding Conversion. If a Holder converts a Note, then the Company will pay accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable Conversion Date to such converting Holder, except as set forth in Section 5.02(D).

- 55 -

Section 5.04. Reserve and Status of Ordinary Shares Issued upon Conversion.
 
(A)          Share Reserve. At all times when any Notes are outstanding, Parent will reserve, out of its authorized, unreserved and not outstanding Ordinary Shares, a number of Ordinary Shares sufficient to permit the conversion of all then-outstanding Notes, assuming (x) Physical Settlement will apply to such conversion; and (y) the Conversion Rate is increased by the maximum amount pursuant to which the Conversion Rate may be increased pursuant to Section 5.07.
 
(B)          Status of Conversion Shares; Listing. Each Conversion Share, if any, delivered upon conversion of any Note will be a newly issued or treasury share and will be duly and validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free from preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim (except to the extent of any lien or adverse claim created by the action or inaction of the Holder of such Note or the Person to whom such Conversion Share will be delivered). If the Ordinary Shares are then listed on any securities exchange, or quoted on any inter-dealer quotation system, then the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Conversion Share, when delivered upon conversion of any Note, to be admitted for listing on such exchange or quotation on such system.
 
Section 5.05. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate.
 
(A)          Events Requiring an Adjustment to the Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(i) Share Dividends, Splits and Combinations. If Parent issues solely Ordinary Shares as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all Ordinary Shares, or if Parent effects a share split or a share combination of the Ordinary Shares (in each case excluding an issuance solely pursuant to an Ordinary Share Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply), then the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
 
 
where:
 
  CR0   =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately before the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
 
  CR1     =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable;
 
  OS0      =
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before the Open
 
- 56 -

of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, without giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination; and
 
OS1     =
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.
 
If any dividend, distribution, share split or share combination of the type described in this Section 5.05(A)(i) is declared or announced, but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Parent Board determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such share split or share combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination not been declared or announced.
 
(ii) Rights, Options and Warrants. If Parent distributes, to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares, rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, as to which the provisions set forth in Sections 5.05(A)(iii)(1) and 5.05(E) will apply) entitling such holders, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares at a price per share (translated, if necessary, to U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Exchange Rate on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced) that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Ordinary Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 
 
where:
 
CR0    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
 
CR1    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
OS     =
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
X       =
the total number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
 
Y       =
a number of Ordinary Shares obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate price
 
- 57 -

payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants by (y) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Ordinary Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced.
 
To the extent that Ordinary Shares are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants (including as a result of such rights, options or warrants not being exercised), the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase to the Conversion Rate for such distribution been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares actually delivered upon exercise of such rights, option or warrants. To the extent such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants not occurred.
 
For purposes of this Section 5.05(A)(ii), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle holders of Ordinary Shares to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Ordinary Share for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date the distribution of such rights, options or warrants is announced, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, there will be taken into account any consideration the Parent receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if not cash, to be determined by the Parent Board.
 
(iii) Spin-Offs and Other Distributed Property.
 
(1)           Distributions Other than Spin-Offs. If Parent distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company, or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock of Parent or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares, excluding:
 
(v)          dividends, distributions, rights, options or warrants for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(i) or 5.05(A)(ii);
 
(w)         dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iv);
 
(x)           rights issued or otherwise distributed pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, except to the extent provided in Section 5.05(E);
 
(y)          Spin-Offs for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2); and
 
(z)           a distribution solely pursuant to an Ordinary Share Change
 
- 58 -

Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply,
 
then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 
 
where:
 
CR0    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
 
CR1    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
SP      =
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Ordinary Share for the ten (10) consecutive; Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
 
FMV  =
the fair market value (as determined by the Parent Board and expressed in U.S. dollars, translated, if necessary, at the Prevailing Exchange Rate on such Ex-Dividend Date), as of such Ex-Dividend Date, of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants distributed per Ordinary Share pursuant to such distribution;
 
provided, however, that if FMV is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Ordinary Shares, the amount and kind of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.
 
To the extent such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
 
(2)            Spin-Offs. If Parent distributes or dividends shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to an Affiliate, a Subsidiary or other business unit of Parent to all or substantially all holders of the Ordinary Shares (other than solely pursuant to an Ordinary Share Change Event, as to which Section 5.09 will apply), and such Capital Stock or equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the transaction) on a U.S.
 
- 59 -

national securities exchange or a reasonably comparable non-U.S. equivalent (as determined by the Parent Board) (a “Spin-Off), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 
 
where:
 
CR0     =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off;
 
CR1    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
FMV  =
the product of (x) the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per-share or unit of the Capital Stock or equity interests distributed in such Spin-Off over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the “Spin-Off Valuation Period”) beginning on, and including, such Ex-Dividend Date (such average to be determined as if references to Ordinary Shares in the definitions of Last Reported Sale Price, Trading Day and Market Disruption Event were instead references to such Capital Stock or equity interests); and (y) the number of shares or units of such Capital Stock or equity interests distributed per Ordinary Share in such Spin-Off; and
 
SP      =
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Ordinary Share for each Trading Day in the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
 
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs during the Spin-Off Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Spin-Off Valuation Period.
 
To the extent any dividend or distribution of the type set forth in this Section 5.05(A)(iii)(2) is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted, effective as of the date the Parent Board determines not to make such distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any,
 
- 60 -

actually made or paid.
 
(iv) Cash Dividends or Distributions. If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of Ordinary Shares, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 
 
where:
 
CR0    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
CR1   =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
 
SP     =
the Last Reported Sale Price per Ordinary Share on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date; and
 
D       =
the cash amount distributed per Ordinary Share in such dividend or distribution (translated, if necessary, to U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Exchange Rate on the Trading Day immediately before such Ex-Dividend Date);
 
provided, however, that if D is equal to or greater than SP, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Rate, each Holder will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held by such Holder on the record date for such dividend or distribution, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Ordinary Shares, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned, on such record date, a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on such record date.
 
To the extent such dividend or distribution is declared but not made or paid, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the dividend or distribution, if any, actually made or paid.
 
(v) Tender Offers or Exchange Offers. If Parent or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Ordinary Shares (other than solely pursuant to an odd-lot tender offer pursuant to Rule 13e-4(h)(5) under the Exchange Act), and the value (expressed in U.S. dollars, translated, if necessary, at the Prevailing Exchange Rate on the Expiration Date, and determined as of the Expiration Time by the Parent Board) of the cash and other consideration paid per Ordinary Share in such tender or exchange offer exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price per
 
- 61 -

Ordinary Share on the Trading Day immediately after the last date (the “Expiration Date”) on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
 
 
where:
 
CR0    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
CR1    =
the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Time;
 
AC     =
the aggregate value (determined as of the Expiration Time by the Parent Board) of all cash and other consideration paid for Ordinary Shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer;
 
OS0    =
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately before the Expiration Time (before giving effect to the purchase of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);
 
OS1    =
the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of all Ordinary Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
 
SP     =
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per Ordinary Share over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period (the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation; Period”) beginning on, and including, the Trading Day immediately after the Expiration Date;
 
provided, however, that the Conversion Rate will in no event be adjusted down pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(v), except to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph. The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 5.05(A)(v) will be calculated as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Expiration Time, with retroactive effect. If a Note is converted and the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Observation Period (in the case of Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) occurs on the Expiration Date or during the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company will, if necessary, delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after the last day of the Tender/Exchange Offer Valuation Period.
 
- 62 -

To the extent such tender or exchange offer is announced but not consummated (including as a result of Parent being precluded from consummating such tender or exchange offer under applicable law), or any purchases or exchanges of Ordinary Shares in such tender or exchange offer are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustment been made on the basis of only the purchases or exchanges of Ordinary Shares, if any, actually made, and not rescinded, in such tender or exchange offer.
 
(B)          No Adjustments in Certain Cases.
 
(i) Where Holders Participate in the Transaction or Event Without Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.05(A), the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of a transaction or other event otherwise requiring an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.05(A) (other than a share split or combination of the type set forth in Section 5.05(A)(i) or a tender or exchange Offer of the type set forth in Section 5.05(A)(v)) if each Holder participates, at the same time and on the same terms as holders of Ordinary Shares, and solely by virtue of being a Holder of Notes, in such transaction or event without having to convert such Holder’s Notes and as if such Holder held a number of Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the related record date; and (ii) the aggregate principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder on such date.
 
(ii) Certain Events. The Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate except as provided in Section 5.05 or Section 5.07. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will not be obligated to adjust the Conversion Rate on account of:
 
(1)          except as otherwise provided in Section 5.05, the sale of Ordinary Shares by Parent, the Company or otherwise for a purchase price that is less than the market price per Ordinary Share or less than the Conversion Price;
 
(2)          the issuance of any Ordinary Shares by Parent, the Company or otherwise pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on Parent’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in Ordinary Shares under any such plan;
 
(3)          the issuance of any Ordinary Shares or options or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares by Parent, the Company or otherwise pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries;
 
(4)          the issuance of any Ordinary Shares by Parent, the Company or otherwise pursuant to any option, warrant, right, contingent value right or exercisable, convertible or exchangeable security of Parent or its Subsidiaries outstanding as of the
 
- 63 -

Issue Date (other than an adjustment pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) in connection with the separation of rights under Parent’s shareholder rights plan existing as of the Issue Date);
 
(5)          solely a change in the par value of the Ordinary Shares;
 
(6)          accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes; or
 
(7)          the transactions contemplated by the Plan (including the establishment of a holding company above the Parent).
 
(C)          Adjustments Not Yet Effective. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:
 
(i) a Note is to be converted pursuant to Physical Settlement or Combination Settlement;
 
(ii) the record date, effective date or Expiration Time for any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A) has occurred on or before the Conversion Date for such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or on or before any VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion (in the case of Combination Settlement), but an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for such event has not yet become effective as of such Conversion Date or VWAP Trading Day, as applicable;
 
(iii) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or due in respect of such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement) includes any whole Ordinary Shares; and
 
(iv) such shares are not entitled to participate in such event (because they were not held on the related record date or otherwise),
 
then, solely for purposes of such conversion, the Company will, without duplication, give effect to such adjustment on such Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement). In such case, if the date on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the consideration due upon such conversion is before the first date on which the amount of such adjustment can be determined, then the Company will delay the settlement of such conversion until the second (2nd) Business Day after such first date.
 
(D)          Conversion Rate Adjustments where Converting Holders Participate in the Relevant Transaction or Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, if:
 
(i) a Conversion Rate adjustment for any dividend or distribution becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date pursuant to Section 5.05(A);
 
(ii) a Note is to be converted pursuant to Physical Settlement or
 
- 64 -

Combination Settlement;
 
(iii) the Conversion Date for such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or any VWAP Trading Day in the Observation Period for such conversion (in the case of Combination Settlement) occurs on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or before the related record date;
 
(iv) the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion (in the case of Physical Settlement) or due with respect to such VWAP Trading Day (in the case of Combination Settlement) includes any whole Ordinary Shares based on a Conversion Rate that is adjusted for such dividend or distribution; and
 
(v) such shares would be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution (including pursuant to Section 5.02(C)),
 
then (x) in the case of Physical Settlement, such Conversion Rate adjustment will not be given effect for such conversion, and the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion based on such unadjusted Conversion Rate will be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution; and (y) in the case of Combination Settlement, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will be made for such conversion in respect of such VWAP Trading Day, but the Ordinary Shares issuable with respect to such VWAP Trading Day based on such adjusted Conversion Rate will not be entitled to participate in such dividend or distribution.
 
(E)          Shareholder Rights Plans. If any Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon conversion of any Note and, at the time of such conversion, the Company has in effect any shareholder rights plan, then the Holder of such Note will be entitled to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable under this Indenture upon such conversion, the rights set forth in such shareholder rights plan, unless such rights have separated from the Ordinary Shares at such time, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(iii)(1) on account of such separation as if, at the time of such separation, the Company had made a distribution of the type referred to in such Section to all holders of the Ordinary Shares, subject to readjustment in accordance with such Section if such rights expire, terminate or are redeemed.
 
(F)          Limitation on Effecting Transactions Resulting in Certain Adjustments. The Company will not engage in or be a party to any transaction or event that would require the Conversion Rate to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A) or Section 5.07 to an amount that would result in the Conversion Price per Ordinary Share being less than the par value per Ordinary Share.
 
(G)          Equitable Adjustments to Prices. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.05(C) or Section 5.05(D), whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices, or any function thereof, over a period of multiple days (including to calculate the Share Price or an adjustment to the Conversion Rate), or to calculate Daily VWAPs over an Observation Period, the Company will make proportionate adjustments, if any, to such calculations to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate
 
- 65 -

pursuant to Section 5.05(A)(i) that becomes effective, or any event requiring such an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date, as applicable, of such event occurs, at any time during such period or Observation Period, as applicable.
 
(H)          Calculation of Number of Outstanding Ordinary Shares. For purposes of Section 5.05(A), the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at any time will (i) include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Ordinary Shares; (ii) include shares issuable pursuant to the zero cost warrants issuable pursuant to the Plan and (iii) exclude Ordinary Shares held in the Company’s treasury (unless the Company pays any dividend or makes any distribution on Ordinary Shares held in its treasury).
 
(I)            Calculations. All calculations with respect to the Conversion Rate and adjustments thereto will be made to the nearest 1/10,000th of an Ordinary Share (with 5/100,000ths rounded upward).
 
(J)           Notice of Conversion Rate Adjustments. Upon the effectiveness of any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.05(A), the Company will promptly send notice to the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent containing (i) a brief description of the transaction or other event on account of which such adjustment was made; (ii) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment; and (iii) the effective time of such adjustment.
 
Section 5.06. Voluntary Adjustments.
 
(A)          Generally. To the extent permitted by law and applicable stock exchange rules, the Company, from time to time, may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate by any amount if (i) the Board of Directors determines that such increase is either (x) in the best interest of the Company; or (y) advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax imposed on holders of Ordinary Shares or rights to purchase Ordinary Shares as a result of any dividend or distribution of Ordinary Shares (or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares) or any similar event; (ii) such increase is in effect for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days; and (iii) such increase is irrevocable during such period.
 
(B)          Notice of Voluntary Increases. If the Board of Directors determines to increase the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.06(A), then, no later than the first Business Day of the related twenty (20) Business Day period referred to Section 5.06(A), the Company will send notice to each Holder of such increase, the amount thereof and the period during which such increase will be in effect.
 
Section 5.07. Adjustments to the Conversion Rate in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
 
(A)          Generally. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and the Conversion Date for the conversion of a Note occurs during the related Make-Whole Fundamental Change Conversion Period, then, subject to this Section 5.07, the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion will be increased by a number of shares (the Additional Shares”) set forth in the table below corresponding (after interpolation as provided in, and subject to, the provisions below) to the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date and the Share Price of such

(i) if such Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table above or the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date is between two dates in the table above, then the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the numbers of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Prices in the table and the earlier and later dates in the table above, as applicable, based on a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable; and
 
(ii) if the Share Price is greater than [***] (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above are adjusted pursuant to Section 5.07(B)), or less than [***] (subject to adjustment, in the same manner), per share, then no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased to an amount that exceeds [***] Ordinary Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to Section 5.05(A).
 
For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the sending of a Redemption Notice will constitute a Make-Whole Fundamental Change only with respect to the Notes called for Redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice, and not with respect to any other Notes; and (y) the Conversion Rate applicable to the Notes not so called for Redemption will not be subject to increase pursuant to this Section 5.07 on account of such Redemption Notice.
 
The Share Prices in the table are expressed in U.S. dollars and, if expressed in a different currency as of any relevant Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, will be translated to U.S. dollars at the Prevailing Exchange Rate on such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date.

(B)          Adjustment of Share Prices and Additional Shares. The Share Prices in the first row (i.e., the column headers) of the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Price is adjusted as a result of the operation of Section 5.05(A). The numbers of Additional Shares in the table set forth in Section 5.07(A) will be adjusted in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 5.07(A).
 
(C)          Notice of the Occurrence of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, then, promptly and in no event later than the Business Day immediately after the Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company will notify the Holders of the occurrence of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change Effective Date, briefly stating the circumstances under which the Conversion Rate will be increased pursuant to this Section 5.07 in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
 
(D)          Settlement of Cash Make-Whole Fundamental Changes. For the avoidance of doubt, if holders of Ordinary Shares receive solely cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then, pursuant to Section 5.09, conversions of Notes will thereafter be settled no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date.
 
Section 5.08. Restriction on Conversions.
 
(A)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, no Ordinary Shares will be issued upon conversion of any Note, no Note will be convertible by the Holder thereof, and the Company will not effect any conversion of any Note, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, convertibility or conversion would result in such Holder or a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owning in excess of 9.9% of the then-outstanding Ordinary Shares. For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on the convertibility of any Note pursuant to this Section 5.08(A) will not, in themselves, cause such Note to cease to be outstanding (and interest will continue to accrue on any portion of a Note that has been tendered for conversion and whose convertibility is suspended pursuant to this Section 5.08(A)), and such limitations will cease to apply if and when such Note’s convertibility and conversion will not violate this Section 5.08(A). Each Holder, by notice to the Company, may elect in connection with any conversion of Notes that the provisions of this Section 5.08(A) not apply to such Holder; provided, however, upon delivery of such a notice to the Company, the provisions of this Section 5.08(A) will continue to apply to such conversion until the sixty-first (61st) calendar day following such delivery. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 5.08(A) will affect the Company’s ability to elect any Settlement Method in accordance with this Indenture. Except to the extent the Company has received a notice as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Company and Trustee may conclusively rely on a Holder’s completion of the applicable procedures set forth in Section 5.02(A) as evidence that such conversion will not violate this Section 5.08(A).

Section 5.09. Effect of Ordinary Share Change Event.
 
(A)
Generally. If there occurs any:
 
(i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Ordinary Shares (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Ordinary Shares, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) share splits and share combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);
 
(ii) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Company or the Parent; or
 
(iii) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person,
 
and, as a result of which, the Ordinary Shares are converted into, or are exchanged for, or represent solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, an Ordinary Share Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) Ordinary Share would be entitled to receive on account of such Ordinary Share Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or property), a Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes,
 
(1)          from and after the effective time of such Ordinary Share Change Event, (I) the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of any Note will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of Ordinary Shares in this Article 5 (or in any related definitions) were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; (II) for purposes of Section 4.03, each reference to any number of Ordinary Shares in such Section (or in any related definitions) will instead be deemed to be a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (III) for purposes of the definition of “Fundamental Change” and “Make-Whole Fundamental Change,” the terms “Ordinary Shares” and “common equity” will be deemed to mean the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of such Reference Property;
 
(2)          if such Reference Property Unit consists entirely of cash, then the Company will be deemed to elect Physical Settlement in respect of all conversions whose Conversion Date occurs on or after the effective date of such Ordinary Share Change Event and will pay the cash due upon such conversions no later than the second (2nd) Business Day after the relevant Conversion Date; and
 
(3)          for these purposes, the Daily VWAP or Last Reported Sale Price of any Reference Property Unit or portion thereof that does not consist of a class of securities will be the fair value of such Reference Property Unit or portion thereof, as applicable, determined in good faith by the Company (or, in the case of cash denominated in U.S.
 
- 69 -

dollars, the face amount thereof).
 
If the Reference Property consists of more than a single type of consideration to be determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election, then the composition of the Reference Property Unit will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration actually received, per Ordinary Share, by the holders of Ordinary Shares. The Company will notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
 
At or before the effective time of such Ordinary Share Change Event, the Company and the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (if not the Company) of such Ordinary Share Change Event (the Successor Person”) will execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(F), which supplemental indenture will (x) provide for subsequent conversions of Notes in the manner set forth in this Section 5.09; (y) provide for subsequent adjustments to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.07(A) in a manner consistent with this Section 5.09; and (z) contain such other provisions as the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders and to give effect to the provisions of this Section 5.09(A). If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities or assets of a Person other than the Successor Person, then such other Person will also execute such supplemental indenture and such supplemental indenture will contain such additional provisions the Company reasonably determines are appropriate to preserve the economic interests of the Holders.
 
(B)          Notice of Ordinary Share Change Events. The Company will provide notice of each Ordinary Share Change Event to Holders no later than the effective date of such Ordinary Share Change Event.
 
(C)          Compliance Covenant. The Company will not become a party to any Ordinary Share Change Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 5.09.
 
Section 5.10. Responsibility of Trustee.
 
(A)          The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine or calculate the Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation 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. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Conversion Consideration; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment to issue, transfer or deliver any Conversion Consideration upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article.

Article 6. SUCCESSORS
 
Section 6.01. When the Company May Merge, Etc.
 
(A)          Generally. Neither the Parent nor the Company will consolidate with or merge with or into, or (directly, or indirectly through one or more of its Subsidiaries) sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of the Parent or the Company and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (a Business Combination Event”), unless:
 
(i) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person either (x) is the Company or the Parent, as applicable, or (y) if not the Company or the Parent, as applicable, is a corporation (or equivalent entity) (the Successor Corporation”) duly organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, or, with respect to the Parent, the United Kingdom or Ireland that expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(E)) all of the Company’s or the Parent’s obligations, as applicable, under this Indenture and the Notes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 3.04); and
 
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such Business Combination Event, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing.
 
(B)          Delivery of Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. Before the effective time of any Business Combination Event, the Company will deliver to the Trustee (x) an Officer’s Certificate stating that (i) such Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) complies with Section 6.01(A); and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied and (y) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent to such Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.
 
Section 6.02. Successor Corporation Substituted.
 
At the effective time of any Business Combination Event that complies with Section 6.01, the Successor Corporation (if not the Company or the Parent, as applicable) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the Parent, as applicable, under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such Successor Corporation had been named as the Company or Parent, as applicable, in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Company or Parent, as applicable, will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

Article 7. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
 
Section 7.01. Events of Default.
 
(A)          Definition of Events of Default. Event of Default means the occurrence of any of the following:

(ii) a default for thirty (30) days in the payment when due of interest on any Note;

(vi) a default in any of the Company’s obligations or agreements, or in any Guarantor’s obligations or agreements, under this Indenture or the Notes (other than a default set forth in clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 7.01(A)) where such default is not cured or waived within sixty (60) days after notice to the Company and Parent by the Trustee, or to the Company, the Parent and the Trustee by Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, which notice must specify such default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a “Notice of Default”;
 
(vii) a default by the Parent, the Company or any of the Parent’s Significant Subsidiaries with respect to any one or more mortgages, agreements or other instruments under which there is outstanding, or by which there is secured or evidenced, any indebtedness for money borrowed of at least twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate of the Parent, the Company or any of the Parent’s Significant Subsidiaries, whether such indebtedness exists as of the Issue Date or is thereafter created, where such default:
 
(1)          constitutes a failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness when due and payable at its stated maturity, upon required repurchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, in each case after the expiration of any applicable grace period; or
 
- 72 -

(2)          results in such indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable before its stated maturity,
 
in each case where such default is not cured or waived within sixty (60) days after notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding;
 
(viii) one or more final judgments being rendered against the Parent, the Company or any of the Parent’s Significant Subsidiaries for the payment of at least twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) (or its foreign currency equivalent) in the aggregate (excluding any amounts covered by insurance), where such judgment is not discharged or stayed within sixty (60) days after (i) the date on which the right to appeal the same has expired, if no such appeal has commenced; or (ii) the date on which all rights to appeal have been extinguished;
 
(ix) the Company, the Parent or any of the Parent’s Significant Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, either:
 
(1)          commences a voluntary case or proceeding;
 
(2)          consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case or proceeding;
 
(3)          consents to the appointment of a custodian of it or for any substantial part of its properly;

(4)          grants any similar relief under any foreign Bankruptcy Law,
 
and, in each case under this Section 7.01(A)(x), such order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for at least sixty (60) days. For the avoidance of doubt, no transactions or actions taken pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan shall constitute an Event of Default under clause (ix) or (x) of this Section 7.01(A)).
 
(B)          Cause Irrelevant. Each of the events set forth in Section 7.01(A) will constitute an Event of Default regardless of the cause thereof or whether voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.
 
Section 7.02. Acceleration.
 
(A)          Automatic Acceleration in Certain Circumstances. If an Event of Default set forth in Section 7.01(A)(ix) or 7.01(A)(x) occurs with respect to the Company or any Guarantor (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any Guarantor), then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action or notice by any Person.
 
(B)          Optional Acceleration. Subject to Section 7.03, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default to which Section 7.02(A) applies) occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee, by notice to the Company, or Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes then outstanding to become due and payable immediately.
 
(C)          Rescission of Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may, on behalf of all Holders, rescind any acceleration of the Notes and its consequences if (i) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and (ii) all existing Events of Default (except the non-payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes that has become due solely because of such acceleration) have been cured or waived. No such rescission will affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
 
Section 7.03. Sole Remedy for a Failure to Report.
 
(A)          Generally. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, the Company may elect that the sole remedy for any Event of Default (a Reporting Event of Default”) pursuant to Section 7.01(A)(vi) arising from the Company’s failure to comply with Section 3.02 will, for each of the first one hundred eighty (180) calendar days on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, consist exclusively of the accrual of Special Interest on the Notes. If the Company has made such an election, then (i) the Notes will be subject to acceleration pursuant to Section 7.02 on account of the relevant Reporting Event of Default from, and including, the one hundred eighty-first (181st) calendar day on which a Reporting Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if the Company
 
- 74 -

fails to pay any accrued and unpaid Special Interest when due; and (ii) Special Interest will cease to accrue on any Notes from, and including, such one hundred eighty-first (181st) calendar day (it being understood that interest on any defaulted Special Interest will nonetheless accrue pursuant to Section 2.05(B)).
 
(B)          Amount and Payment of Special Interest. Any Special Interest that accrues on a Note pursuant to Section 7.03(A) will be payable on the same dates and in the same manner as the Stated Interest on such Note and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the principal amount thereof for the first ninety (90) days on which Special Interest accrues and, thereafter, at a rate per annum equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) of the principal amount thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any Special Interest that accrues on a Note will be in addition to the Stated Interest that accrues on such Note and in addition to any Additional Interest that accrues on such Note.
 
(C)          Notice of Election. To make the election set forth in Section 7.03(A), the Company must send to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent, before the date on which each Reporting Event of Default first occurs, a notice that (i) briefly describes the report(s) that the Company failed to file or provide; (ii) states that the Company is electing that the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of Default consist of the accrual of Special Interest; and (iii) briefly describes the periods during which and rate at which Special Interest will accrue and the circumstances under which the Notes will be subject to acceleration on account of such Reporting Event of Default.
 
(D)          Notice to Trustee and Paying Agent; Trustee’s Disclaimer. If Special Interest accrues on any Note, then, no later than five (5) Business Days before each date on which such Special Interest is to be paid, the Company will deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and the Paying Agent stating (i) that the Company is obligated to pay Special Interest on such Note on such date of payment; and (ii) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable on such date of payment. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Special Interest is payable or the amount thereof.
 
(E)          No Effect on Other Events of Default. No election pursuant to this Section 7.03 with respect to a Reporting Event of Default will affect the rights of any Holder with respect to any other Event of Default, including with respect to any other Reporting Event of Default.
 
Section 7.04. Other Remedies.
 
(A)          Trustee May Pursue All Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of any amounts due with respect to the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.
 
(B)          Procedural Matters. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in such proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy following an Event of Default will not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, such Event of Default. All remedies will be cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
 
- 75 -

Section 7.05. Waiver of Past Defaults.
 
An Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iv) or (vi) of Section 7.01(A) (that, in the case of clause (vi) only, results from a Default under any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each affected Holder), and a Default that could lead to such an Event of Default, can be waived only with the consent of each affected Holder. Each other Default or Event of Default may be waived, on behalf of all Holders, by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. If an Event of Default is so waived, then it will cease to exist. If a Default is so waived, then it will be deemed to be cured and any Event of Default arising therefrom will be deemed not to occur. However, no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right arising therefrom.
 
Section 7.06. Control by Majority.
 
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 2.15, may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law, this Indenture or the Notes, or that, subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or may involve the Trustee in liability, unless the Trustee is offered security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such direction.
 
Section 7.07. Limitation on Suits.
 
No Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes (except to enforce (x) its rights to receive the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, any Notes; or (y) the Company’s obligations to convert any Notes pursuant to Article 5), unless:
 
(A)          such Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee notice that an Event of Default is continuing;
 
(B)          Holders of at least twenty five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding deliver a request to the Trustee to pursue such remedy;
 
(C)          such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustee’s following such request;
 
(D)          the Trustee does not comply with such request within sixty (60) calendar days after its receipt of such request and such offer of security or indemnity; and
 
(E)          during such sixty (60) calendar day period, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding do not deliver to the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with such request.
 
- 76 -

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. The Trustee will have no duty to determine whether any Holder’s use of this Indenture complies with the preceding sentence.
 
Section 7.08. Absolute Right of Holders to Receive Payment and Conversion Consideration.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes (but without limiting Section 8.01), the right of each Holder of a Note to receive payment or delivery, as applicable, of the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or the Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, such Note on or after the respective due dates therefor provided in this Indenture and the Notes, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery on or after such respective due dates, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
 
Section 7.09. Collection Suit by Trustee.
 
The Trustee will have the right, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iv) of Section 7.01(A), to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the total unpaid or undelivered principal of, or Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or interest on, or Conversion Consideration due pursuant to Article 5 upon conversion of, the Notes, as applicable, and, to the extent lawful, any Default Interest on any Defaulted Amounts, and such further amounts sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including compensation provided for in Section 11.06.
 
Section 7.10. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
 
The Trustee has the right to (A) file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes) or its creditors or property and (B) unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims. Each Holder authorizes any custodian in such proceeding to make such payments to the Trustee, and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to the Trustee for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.06. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements, advances and other amounts out of the estate in such proceeding, is denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and will be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding (whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise). Nothing in this Indenture will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
 
- 77 -

Section 7.11. Priorities.
 
The Trustee will pay or deliver in the following order any money or other property that it collects pursuant to this Article 7:
 
First:              to the Trustee and its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 11.06, including payment of all fees, compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
 
Second:          to Holders for unpaid amounts or other property due on the Notes, including the principal of, or the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for, or any interest on, or any Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of, the Notes, ratably, and without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts or other property due and payable on all of the Notes; and
 
Third:             to the Company or such other Person as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.
 
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment or delivery to the Holders pursuant to this Section 7.11, in which case the Trustee will instruct the Company to, and the Company will, deliver, at least fifteen (15) calendar days before such record date, to each Holder and the Trustee a notice stating such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment or nature of such delivery, as applicable.
 
Section 7.12. Undertaking for Costs.
 
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or the Notes or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court, in its discretion, may (A) require the filing by any litigant party in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and (B) assess reasonable costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) against any litigant party in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such litigant party; provided, however, that this Section 7.12 does not apply to any suit by the Trustee, any suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.08 or any suit by one or more Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
 
Article 8. AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS
 
Section 8.01. Without the Consent of Holders.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without the consent of any Holder to:
 
(A)          cure any ambiguity or correct any omission, defect or inconsistency in this Indenture or the Notes;

- 78 -

(B)          add additional guarantees with respect to the Company’s obligations under this Indenture or the Notes;

Section 8.02. With the Consent of Holders.
 
(A)          Generally. Subject to Sections 7.05, 7.08 and 8.01 and the immediately following sentence, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may, with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes or waive compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing sentence, but subject to subject to Section 8.01, without the consent of each affected Holder, no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, may:
 
(i) reduce the principal, or extend the stated maturity, of any Note;
 
- 79 -

(ii) reduce the Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price for any Note or change the times at which, or the circumstances under which, the Notes may or will be redeemed or repurchased by the Company;
 
(iii) reduce the rate, or extend the time for the payment, of interest on any Note;

(v) impair the rights of any Holder set forth in Section 7.08 (as such section is in effect on the Issue Date);
 
(vi) change the ranking of the Notes or the Guarantees;
 
(vii) modify or amend the terms and conditions of the obligations of the Guarantors, as guarantors of the Notes, in any manner that is adverse to the rights of the Holders, as such, other than (A) any elimination of a Guarantee in accordance with this Indenture or (B) to the extent changes are made to the terms and conditions of the Notes in accordance with this Indenture, changes made mutatis mutandis to the obligation of the Guarantors;
 
(viii) make any Note payable in a currency, or at a place of payment, other than that stated in this Indenture or the Note;

For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Section 8.02(A), no amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes, or waiver of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes, may reduce the amount or change the type of consideration due on any Note (whether on an Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Maturity Date or upon conversion, or otherwise), or the date(s) or time(s) such consideration is payable or deliverable, as applicable, without the consent of each affected Holder.
 
(B)          Holders Need Not Approve the Particular Form of any Amendment. A consent of any Holder pursuant to this Section 8.02 need approve only the substance, and not necessarily the particular form, of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.
 
- 80 -

Section 8.03. Notice of Amendments, Supplements and Waivers.
 
Promptly after any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 becomes effective, the Company will send to the Holders and the Trustee notice that (A) describes the substance of such amendment, supplement or waiver in reasonable detail and (B) states the effective date thereof. The failure to send, or the existence of any defect in, such notice will not impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
 
Section 8.04. Revocation, Effect and Solicitation of Consents; Special Record Dates; Etc.
 
(A)          Revocation and Effect of Consents. The consent of a Holder of a Note to an amendment, supplement or waiver will bind (and constitute the consent of) each subsequent Holder of any Note to the extent the same evidences any portion of the same indebtedness as the consenting Holder’s Note, subject to the right of any Holder of a Note to revoke (if not prohibited pursuant to Section 8.04(B)) any such consent with respect to such Note by delivering notice of revocation to the Trustee before the time such amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.
 
(B)          Special Record Dates. The Company may, but is not required to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent or take any other action in connection with any amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 8. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.04(A), only Persons who are Holders as of such record date (or their duly designated proxies) will be entitled to give such consent, to revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, regardless of whether such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date; provided, however, that no such consent will be valid or effective for more than one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after such record date.
 
(C)          Solicitation of Consents. For the avoidance of doubt, each reference in this Indenture or the Notes to the consent of a Holder will be deemed to include any such consent obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, any Notes.
 
(D)          Effectiveness and Binding Effect. Each amendment, supplement or waiver pursuant to this Article 8 will become effective in accordance with its terms and, when it becomes effective with respect to any Note (or any portion thereof), will thereafter bind every Holder of such Note (or such portion).
 
Section 8.05. Notations and Exchanges.
 
If any amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, then the Trustee or the Company may, in its discretion, require the Holder of such Note to deliver such Note to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation prepared by the Company on such Note and return such Note to such Holder. Alternatively, at its discretion, the Company may, in exchange for such Note, issue, execute and deliver, and the Trustee will authenticate, in each case in accordance with Section 2.02, a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The failure to make any appropriate notation or issue a new Note pursuant to this Section 8.05 will not impair
 
- 81 -

or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
 
Section 8.06. Trustee to Execute Supplemental Indentures.
 
Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee will, and is hereby authorized to, execute and deliver any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 8; provided, however, that the Trustee need not (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) execute or deliver any such amendment or supplemental indenture that adversely affects the Trustee’s rights, duties, liabilities or immunities. In executing any amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive, and (subject to Sections 11.01 and 11.02) will be fully protected in relying on as conclusive evidence, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the execution and delivery of such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture; and (B) in the case of the Opinion of Counsel, such amendment or supplemental indenture is valid, binding and enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.
 
Article 9. GUARANTEES
 
Section 9.01. Guarantees.
 
(A)          Generally. By its execution of this Indenture (or any amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(B)), each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it receives substantial benefits from the Company and that such Guarantor is providing its Guarantee for good and valuable consideration, including such substantial benefits. Subject to this Article 9, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees, to (x) each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and (y) to the Trustee and its successors and assigns on behalf of such Holder that:
 
(i) the principal of, any interest on, and any Conversion Consideration for, the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, upon Redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, any interest on, or any Conversion Consideration for, the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes (including the expense reimbursement and indemnification provisions of Section 11.06), will be promptly paid or delivered in full or performed, as applicable, in each case in accordance with this Indenture and the Notes; and
 
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, upon Redemption or otherwise,
 
(collectively, the Guaranteed Obligations”), in each case subject to Section 9.02.
 
Upon the failure of any payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, and upon the
 
- 82 -

failure of any performance so guaranteed, for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay or perform, as applicable, the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
 
(B)          Guarantee Is Unconditional; Waiver of Diligence, Presentment, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that its Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations is unconditional, regardless of the validity or enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Indenture and the Notes.
 
(C)          Reinstatement of Guarantee Upon Return of Payments. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return, to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any consideration paid or delivered by the Company or the Guarantors to such Holder or the Trustee, then each Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
 
(D)          Subrogation. Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Guarantor on account of such Notes pursuant to the provisions of its Guarantee or this Indenture; provided that each Guarantor agrees that any right of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution it may have in relation to the Holders or in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations will be subordinated to, and will not be enforceable until payment in full of, all Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article 7, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (ii) if any Guaranteed Obligations are accelerated pursuant to Article 7, then such Guaranteed Obligations will, whether or not due and payable, immediately become due and payable by the Guarantors.
 
Section 9.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
 
Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of any Note, each Holder, confirms that each Guarantor and the Holders intend that the Guarantee of each Guarantor 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 any Guarantee. Each of the Trustee, the Holders and each Guarantor irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after
 
- 83 -

giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
 
Section 9.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.
 
The execution by each Guarantor of this Indenture (or an amended or supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(B)) evidences the Guarantee of such Guarantor, and the delivery of any Note by the Trustee after its authentication constitutes due delivery of each Guarantee on behalf of each Guarantor. A Guarantee’s validity will not be affected by the failure of any officer of a Guarantor executing this Indenture or any such amended or supplemental indenture on such Guarantor’s behalf to hold, at the time any Note is authenticated, the same or any other office at such Guarantor, and each Guarantee will be valid and enforceable even if no notation, certificate or other instrument is set upon or attached to, or otherwise executed and delivered to the Holder of, any Note.
 
Section 9.04. When Guarantors May Merge, Etc.
 
(A)          Generally. No Guarantor will consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person (other than the Company, another Guarantor or one or more of the Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries) (a Guarantor Business Combination Event”), unless (i) such transaction otherwise complies with Section 3.12, (ii) such Guarantor is an Immaterial Subsidiary or (iii) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is such Guarantor or, if not such Guarantor, expressly assumes (by executing and delivering to the Trustee, at or before the effective time of such Guarantor Business Combination Event, a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 8.01(E)) all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.
 
(B)          Delivery of Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee. Before the effective time of any Guarantor Business Combination Event (unless such transaction otherwise complies with Section 3.12), the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that (i) such Guarantor Business Combination Event (and, if applicable, the related supplemental indenture) comply with Section 9.04(A); and (ii) all conditions precedent to such Guarantor Business Combination Event provided in this Indenture have been satisfied.
 
(C)          Successor Corporation Substituted. At the effective time of any Guarantor Business Combination Event that complies with Section 9.04(A) and Section 9.04(B) (unless such transaction otherwise complies with Section 3.12), the surviving Person (if not the applicable Guarantor) will succeed to, and may exercise every right and power of, such Guarantor under this Indenture and the Notes with the same effect as if such surviving Person had been named as a Guarantor in this Indenture and the Notes, and, except in the case of a lease, the predecessor Guarantor will be discharged from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.
 
- 84 -

(A)          Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel. Upon any request or application by any Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under this Indenture, the Trustee will be entitled to receive an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel pursuant to Section 12.02 with the same effect as if each reference to the Company in Section 12.02 or in the definitions of “Officer,” “Officer’s Certificate” or “Opinion of Counsel” were instead a reference to such Guarantor.
 
(B)          Notices and Demands. Any notice or demand that this Indenture requires or permits to be given by the Trustee, or by any Holders, to the Company may instead be given to any Guarantor.
 
Article 10. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
  
Section 10.01. Termination of Company’s Obligations.
 
This Indenture will be discharged, and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes issued under this Indenture, when:
 
(A)          all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.12) have (i) been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) become due and payable (whether on a Redemption Date, a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Maturity Date, upon conversion or otherwise) for an amount of cash and/or Ordinary Shares (or, if applicable, Reference Property) and cash (in lieu of fractional Ordinary Shares or, if applicable, Reference Property Units) (solely to satisfy amounts due and owing as a result of conversions of the Notes), as applicable, that has been fixed;
 
(B)          the Company has caused there to be irrevocably deposited with the Trustee, or with the Paying Agent (or, with respect to Conversion Consideration, the Conversion Agent), in each case for the benefit of the Holders, or has otherwise caused there to be delivered to the Holders, cash and/or Ordinary Shares (or, if applicable, Reference Property) and cash (in lieu of fractional Ordinary Shares or, if applicable, Reference Property Units) (solely to satisfy amounts due and owing as a result of conversions of the Notes) sufficient to satisfy all amounts or other property (including, if applicable, all related Additional Amounts) due on all Notes then outstanding (other than Notes replaced pursuant to Section 2.12);

(D)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the conditions precedent to the discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied;
 
provided, however, that Article 11 and Section 12.01 will survive such discharge and, until no Notes remain outstanding, Section 2.14 and the obligations of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent with respect to money or other property deposited with them will survive such discharge.
- 86 -

At the Company’s request, the Trustee will acknowledge the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
 
Section 10.02. Repayment to Company.
 
Subject to applicable unclaimed property law, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will promptly notify the Company if there exists (and, at the Company’s request, will promptly deliver to the Company) any cash, Conversion Consideration or other property held by any of them for payment or delivery on the Notes that remain unclaimed two (2) years after the date on which such payment or delivery was due. After such delivery to the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent will have no further liability to any Holder with respect to such cash, Conversion Consideration or other property, and Holders entitled to the payment or delivery of such cash, Conversion Consideration or other property must look to the Company for payment as a general creditor of the Company.
 
Section 10.03. Reinstatement.
 
If the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent is unable to apply any cash or other property deposited with it pursuant to Section 10.01 because of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or other governmental authority that enjoins, restrains or otherwise prohibits such application, then the discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Section 10.01 will be rescinded until such time as the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent is permitted to apply such cash or other property pursuant to Section 10.01; provided, however, that if the Company pays or delivers any cash or other property due on the Notes to the Holders thereof, then the Company will be subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such cash or other property from the cash or other property, if any, held by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable.
 
Article 11. TRUSTEE

Section 11.01. Duties of the Trustee.
 
(A)          If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.
 
(B)          Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
 
(i) the duties of the Trustee will be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
 
(ii) in the absence of willful misconduct on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
- 87 -

opinions expressed therein, upon Officer’s Certificates or Opinions of Counsel that are provided to the Trustee and conform to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts, statements, opinions or conclusions stated therein).
 
(C)        The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its negligence or willful misconduct, except that:
 
(i) this paragraph will not limit the effect of Section 11.01(B) or Section 11.01(E);
 
(ii) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
 
(iii) the Trustee will not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 7.06.
 
(D)        Each provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to this Section 11.01, regardless of whether such provision so expressly provides.
 
(E)        No provision of this Indenture will require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or incur any liability.
 
(F)        The Trustee will not be liable for interest on any money received by it, except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds, except to the extent required by law.
 
(G)        The Trustee shall not be liable in respect of any payment (as to the correctness of amount, entitlement to receive or any other matters relating to payment) or notice effected by the Company or any Paying Agent or any records maintained by any co-Registrar with respect to the Notes.
 
(H)        If any party fails to deliver a notice relating to an event the fact of which, pursuant to this Indenture, requires notice to be sent to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely on its failure to receive such notice as reason to act as if no such event occurred.
 
(I)         In the absence of written investment direction from the Company, all cash received by the Trustee shall be placed in a non-interest bearing trust account, and in no event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred thereon or for losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any such investment prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investments prior to its maturity date or the failure of the party directing such investment to provide timely written investment direction, and the Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of such written investment direction from the Company.
- 88 -

The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with counsel; and the advice of such counsel, or any Opinion of Counsel, will constitute full and complete authorization of the Trustee to take or omit to take any action in good faith in reliance thereon without liability.
 
(C)         Any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Order (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any board resolutions may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Company’s Secretary, Assistant Secretary or other duly authorized Officer.
 
(D)         The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any such attorney or agent appointed with due care.

The Trustee may request that the Company or any Guarantor deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officer’s Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.
 
(G)          The Trustee need not exercise any rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any Holder unless such Holder has offered the Trustee security or
- 89 -

indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense that it may incur in complying with such request or direction.
 
(H)         Anything in this indenture notwithstanding, the Trustee will not be responsible or liable for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential loss or damage (including lost profits), even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
 
(I)          The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties hereunder.
 
(J)          The Trustee shall be under no obligation to take or pursue any action that is not in accordance with applicable law.
 
(K)         The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents, custodians, nominees or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, custodian, nominee or attorney appointed by it with due care hereunder.

Section 11.03. Individual Rights of the Trustee.
 
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of any Note and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights that it would have if it were not Trustee; provided, however, that if the Trustee acquires a “conflicting interest” (within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), then it must eliminate such conflict within ninety (90) days or resign as Trustee. Each Note Agent will have the same rights and duties as the trustee under this Section 11.03.
 
Section 11.04. Trustee’s Disclaimer.
 
The Trustee will not be (A) responsible for, and makes no representation as to, the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; (B) accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture; (C) responsible for the use or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee; (D) responsible for any statement or recital in this Indenture, the Notes or any other document relating to the sale of the Notes or this Indenture, other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication; (E) responsible to make any calculation with respect to any matter under this Indenture; or (F) under any duty to monitor or investigate the Company’s compliance with or the breach of, or cause to be performed or observed, any representation, warranty, or covenant, or agreement of any Person, other than the Trustee, made in this Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Trustee nor any Note Agent shall have any obligation to make any calculation (including determinations of the Last Reported Sale Price, the Daily Conversion Value, the Daily Cash Amount, the Daily Share Amount, the Daily VWAP, accrued interest on the Notes and the Conversion Rate) or to determine whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion, or to notify the Company, any
- 90 -

Guarantor, the Depositary, or any Holders of the Notes if the Notes have become convertible.
 
Section 11.05. Notice of Defaults.
 
The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer receives written notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Company, the Guarantor or from Holders of Notes evidencing no less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and is known to the Trustee (as determined in accordance with the foregoing sentence), then the Trustee will send Holders a notice of such Default or Event of Default promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after it becomes known to a Responsible Officer; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or interest on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold such notice if and for so long as it in good faith determines that withholding such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
 
Section 11.06. Compensation and Indemnity.
 
(A)          The Company will, from time to time, pay the Trustee reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this indenture and services under this Indenture. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. In addition to the compensation for the Trustee’s services, the Company will reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it under this Indenture, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.
 
(B)          The Company and each Guarantor will, on a joint and several basis, indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees and any authenticating agent and hold them harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith or therewith, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company or any Guarantor (including this Section 11.06) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, any Guarantor any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee will promptly notify the Company of any claim for which it may seek indemnity, but the Trustee’s failure to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any Guarantor of its obligations under this Section 11.06(B). The Company and each Guarantor will defend such claim, and the Trustee will cooperate in such defense. The Trustee may retain separate counsel, and the Company and each Guarantor will, on a joint and several basis, pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement of any such claim made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
- 91 -

(C)          The obligations of the Company and each Guarantor under this Section 11.06 will survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the termination for any other reason of this Indenture. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 11.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company.
 
(D)          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 11.06 and the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to the Company’s obligations in this Section 11.06, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, or interest on, particular Notes, which lien will survive the discharge of this Indenture.
 
(E)           If the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default pursuant to clause (ix) or (x) of Section 7.01(A) occurs, then such expenses and the compensation for such services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
 
(F)           Each Note Agent will have the same rights and duties as the Trustee under this Section 11.06.
 
Section 11.07. Replacement of the Trustee.
 
(A)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.07, a resignation or removal of the Trustee, and the appointment of a successor Trustee, will become effective only upon such successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 11.07.
 
(B)          The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust created by this Indenture by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
 
(i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 11.09;
 
(ii) the Trustee is adjudged to be bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
 
(iii) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
 
(iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
 
(C)          If the Trustee resigns or is removed, or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, then by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor Trustee (i) the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee; and (ii) at any time within one (1) year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace such successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
- 92 -


(D)          If a successor Trustee does not take office within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, then the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee.
 
(E)          If the Trustee, after written request by a Holder of at least six (6) months, fails to comply with Section 11.09, then such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
 
(F)          A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company, upon which notice the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will send notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will, upon payment of all amounts due to it under this Indenture, promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, which property will, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to the lien provided for in Section 11.06(D).
 
(G)          Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 11.06 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
 
(H)          The Company shall execute such written instruments as are reasonably request in writing by any successor Trustee to confirm such successor Trustee’s rights and powers under this Indenture.
 
Section 11.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, Etc.
 
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the administration of this Indenture) to, another Person, then such Person will become the successor Trustee without any further act.
 
Section 11.09. Eligibility; Disqualification.
 
There shall at all times be a U.S. Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least the minimum amount required by the Trust Indenture Act.

All notices and communications (other than those sent to Holders) will be deemed to have been duly given: (A) at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; (B) five (5) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; (C) when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by electronic transmission or other similar means of unsecured electronic communication; and (D) the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.
 
All notices or communications required to be made to a Holder pursuant to this Indenture must be made in writing and will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing if mailed by first class mail, certified or registered, return receipt requested, or by overnight air courier guaranteeing next day delivery, to its address shown on the Register; provided, however, that a
- 94 -

notice or communication to a Holder of a Global Note may, but need not, instead be sent pursuant to the Depositary Procedures (in which case, such notice will be deemed to be duly sent or given in writing). The failure to send a notice or communication to a Holder, or any defect in such notice or communication, will not affect its sufficiency with respect to any other Holder.
 
If the Trustee is then acting as the Depositary’s custodian for the Notes, then, at the reasonable request of the Company to the Trustee, the Trustee will cause any notice prepared by the Company to be sent to any Holder(s) pursuant to the Depositary Procedures, provided such request is evidenced in a Company Order delivered, together with the text of such notice, to the Trustee at least one (1) Business Day before the date such notice is to be so sent. The Trustee will not have any liability relating to the contents of any notice that it sends to any Holder pursuant to any such Company Order.
 
If a notice or communication is mailed or sent in the manner provided above within the time prescribed, it will be deemed to have been duly given, whether or not the addressee receives it.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes, whenever any provision of this Indenture requires a party to send notice to another party, no such notice need be sent if the sending party and the recipient arc the same Person acting in different capacities.
 
The Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to rely upon and comply with notices, instructions, directions or other communications sent by e-mail, facsimile and other similar unsecured electronic methods by persons believed by the Trustee to be authorized to give instructions and directions on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor. The Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to verify or confirm that the person who sent such instructions or directions is, in fact, a person authorized to give instructions or directions on behalf of the Company or the Guarantor; and the Trustee shall have no liability for any losses, liabilities, costs or expenses incurred or sustained by the Company or the Guarantor as a result of such reliance upon or compliance with such notices, instructions, directions or other communications. The Company and the Guarantor, as applicable, each agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit notices, instructions, directions or other communications to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties. The Company and the Guarantor shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that any such notices, instructions, directions or other communications transmitted to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture are complete and correct. Any such notices, instructions, directions or other communications shall be conclusively deemed to be valid instructions from the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee for the purposes of this Indenture.
