The Guarantor agrees that in the case of default by the Issuer in the payment of any such principal or interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any), the Guarantor shall duly and punctually pay the same. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any extension of the time for payment of this Debenture, any modification of this Debenture, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of this Debenture or the Indenture, any failure to enforce the same or any waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holder of this Debenture or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a demand or proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to this Debenture or the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged as to this Debenture except by payment in full of the principal of and interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any) on this Debenture.

16


receive any payment in the nature of contribution or for any other reason, from any other obligor with respect to such payment, in each case, until the principal of and interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any) on this Debenture shall have been paid in full.

 

The Guarantee shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to this Debenture until the certificate of authentication on this Debenture shall have been signed by the Trustee.

In authenticating any Add On Debentures, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Add On Debentures, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon:

 

  (i) the Add On Debenture Board Resolutions or Add On Debenture supplemental indenture relating thereto;

 

  (ii) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.5; and

 

  (iii) an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.5 stating,

 

(1) that the forms of such Debentures have been established by or pursuant to Add On Debenture Board Resolutions or by an Add On Debenture supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

 

(2) that the terms of such Debentures have been established by or pursuant to Add On Debenture Board Resolutions or by an Add On Debenture supplemental indenture, as permitted by this Section 2.8 and in conformity with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture;

 

(3) that such Debentures, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the manner and subject to any customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer entitled to the benefits provided in the Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws, general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of such Debentures;

 

(4) that all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of the Debentures have been complied with; and

 

(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request.

 

If such forms or terms have been so established by or pursuant to Add On Debenture Board Resolutions or an Add On Debenture supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Debentures:

 

(1) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken;

 

20


(2) if the Trustee by its board of directors, executive committee or a committee of directors or trust officers in good faith determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Outstanding Debentures; or

 

(3) if the issue of such Add On Debentures pursuant to this Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties, benefits and immunities under the Debentures, this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8, the Issuer may not issue Add On Debentures if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(d) Any meeting of Holders of Debentures duly called pursuant to Section 5.2 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

 

Section 5.6 Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

 

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Debentures shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Debentures or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Debentures held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Debentures shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 5.2 and, if applicable, Section 5.4. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Issuer and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

 

Section 5.7 Acts of Holders of Debentures.

 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Supplemental Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Debentures may be embodied in and evidenced by:

 

(1) one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent or proxy duly appointed in writing;

 

(2) the record of Holders of Debentures voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Debentures duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 5; or

 

(3) a combination of such instruments and any such record.

 

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby

 

24


expressly required, to the Issuer and the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments and record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders of Debentures signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent or proxy, or of the holding by any Person of a Debenture, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Supplemental Indenture and (subject to Section 5.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Guarantor if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Debentures shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 5.5.

 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be provided in any manner that the Trustee reasonably deems sufficient.

 

(c) The principal amount and certificate numbers of Debentures held by any Person, and the date of such Person holding the same, shall be proved by the register of the Debentures.

 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of the Holders of any Debenture shall bind every future Holder of the same Debenture and the Holder of every Debenture issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Issuer or the Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Debenture.

At any time on or after February 1, 2008, except for Debentures that it is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 8.1(a), the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Debentures in whole at any time or in part from time to time, on any date prior to Maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section 7.3, at the Redemption Price plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 

Section 7.2 Selection of Debentures for Partial Repayment.

 

If any Debenture selected for partial redemption is converted or elected to be repurchased in part before termination of the conversion right or repurchase right with respect to the portion of the Debenture so selected, the converted or repurchased portion of such Debenture shall be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption; provided, however, that the Holder of such Debenture so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such Debenture pursuant to Section 2.1(e). Debentures that have been converted during a selection of Debentures to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

 

27


Section 7.3 Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 10.4 to the Holders of Debentures to be redeemed. Such notice shall be given not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the intended Redemption Date.

 

In addition to the information required to be stated in notices of redemption pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Base Indenture, all notices of redemption shall state the Conversion Price, the date on which the right to convert the principal of the Debentures to be redeemed will terminate and the places where such Debentures may be surrendered for conversion.

 

Section 7.4 Deposit of Redemption Price.

 

Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price in respect of all the Debentures to be redeemed on that Redemption Date, other than any Debentures called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Debentures.

 

If any Debenture called for redemption is converted prior to redemption, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent for the redemption of such Debenture shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such Debenture or any Predecessor Debenture to receive interest as provided in Section 2.1(e)) be paid to the Issuer upon request by the Issuer.

(b) In the event that a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading shall occur, each Holder of Debentures shall have the right (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase

 

28


Right” and, together with the Optional Repurchase Right, each a “Repurchase Right”), at such Holder’s option, but subject to the provisions of Section 8.2, to require the Issuer to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Issuer shall repurchase, all of such Holder’s Debentures not theretofore called for redemption, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to any integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that no single Debenture may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the principal amount of such Debenture to be Outstanding after such repurchase is equal to an integral multiple of $1,000), on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date” and, together with the Optional Repurchase Dates, each a “Repurchase Date”) that is 45 days after the date of the Issuer Notice given pursuant to Section 8.2 in connection with such Change of Control or Termination of Trading at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price” and, together with the “Optional Repurchase Price”, each a “Repurchase Price”), plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Debentures whose Stated Maturity is prior to or on the Repurchase Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Debentures, or one or more Predecessor Debentures, registered as such on the relevant Record Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 2.1.

 

Section 8.2 Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc.

 

(a) In the case of a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading, unless the Issuer shall have theretofore called for redemption all of the Outstanding Debentures, prior to or on the 10th day after the occurrence of a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading, the Issuer, or, at the written request and expense of the Issuer prior to or on the 10th day after such occurrence, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Debentures notice, in the manner provided in Section 10.4, of the occurrence of the Change of Control or a Termination of Trading and of the Repurchase Right set forth herein arising as a result thereof (the “Fundamental Change Issuer Notice”). In the case of an Optional Repurchase Right, prior to or on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the Optional Repurchase Date, the Issuer, or, at the written request of the Issuer fifteen days prior to such date, the Trustee, shall give to all Holders of Debentures a notice, in the manner provided in Section 10.4, of the Repurchase Right (the “Optional Repurchase Right Issuer Notice” and, together with the Fundamental Change Issuer Notice and the Non-Stock Change of Control Issuer Notice, each an “Issuer Notice”). The Issuer shall also deliver a copy of such Issuer Notice of a Repurchase Right to the Trustee. Each Issuer Notice of a Repurchase Right shall state:

 

(1) the applicable Repurchase Date;

 

(2) the date by which the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or the Optional Repurchase Right must be exercised;

 

(3) the applicable Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

 

(4) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise its Repurchase Right, and the place or places where such Debentures are to be surrendered for payment of the applicable Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

 

29


(5) that on the applicable Repurchase Date the applicable Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will become due and payable in cash for each such Debenture designated by the Holder to be repurchased, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;

 

(6) the Conversion Rate then in effect, the date on which the right to convert the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased will terminate and the place where such Debentures may be surrendered for conversion, and

 

(7) the place or places where such Debentures, together with the Option to Elect Repayment certificate included in Exhibit A annexed hereto, are to be delivered for payment of the applicable Repurchase Price and accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

 

No failure of the Issuer to give the foregoing notices or defect therein shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a Repurchase Right or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Debentures.

 

If any of the foregoing provisions or other provisions of this Article 8 are inconsistent with applicable law, such law shall govern.

 

(b) To exercise an Optional Repurchase Right or Fundamental Change Repurchase Right, as the case may be, a Holder shall deliver to the Trustee on or prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the applicable Repurchase Date in the case of an Optional Repurchase Right, as applicable, or prior to or on the 30th day after the date of the Fundamental Change Issuer Notice in the case of a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading:

 

(1) written notice of the Holder’s exercise of the relevant right, which notice shall set forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased, the certificate number thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be repurchased if any Debenture is to be repurchased in part and a statement that an election to exercise the applicable Repurchase Right is being made thereby (each such notice, a “Repurchase Notice”); and

 

(2) the Debentures with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being exercised.

 

The right of the Holder to convert the Debentures with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date.

 

(c) In the event a Repurchase Right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms hereof, the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee the Repurchase Price in cash, for payment to the Holder on the Repurchase Date, together with accrued and unpaid interest to,

 

30


but excluding, the Repurchase Date payable in cash with respect to the Debentures as to which the Repurchase Right has been exercised; provided, however, that installments of interest that mature prior to or on the Repurchase Date shall be payable in cash to the Holders of such Debentures, or one or more Predecessor Debentures, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

 

(d) If any Debenture (or portion thereof) surrendered for repurchase shall not be so paid on the Repurchase Date, the principal amount of such Debenture (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the Interest Rate, and each Debenture shall remain convertible into ADRs until the principal of such Debenture (or portion thereof, as the case may be) shall have been paid or duly provided for.

 

(e) Any Debenture which is to be repurchased only in part shall be surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Debenture without service charge, a new Debenture or Debentures, containing identical terms and conditions, each in an authorized denomination in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the principal of the Debenture so surrendered.

 

(f) All Debentures delivered for repurchase shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled by Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.10 of the Base Indenture.

 

(g) A Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, specifying:

 

  (i) the certificate number, if any, of the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Debenture in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global Debenture,

 

  (ii) the principal amount of the Debenture with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

 

  (iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Debenture which remains subject to the original Repurchase Notice and which has been or will be delivered for purchase by the Issuer.

 

A Repurchase Notice given by a Holder in connection with a Fundamental Change Repurchase Right may not be withdrawn unless the Holder converts the Debentures specified in such Repurchase Notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date. The Issuer will not pay any interest accrued and unpaid on any of the Debentures so converted.

 

31


(h) There shall be no purchase of any Debentures pursuant to Section 8.1 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Debentures, of the required Repurchase Notice) and is continuing at the applicable Repurchase Date an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price with respect to such Debentures). The Trustee will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Debentures (x) with respect to which a Repurchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with this Indenture, or (y) held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a default in the payment of the Purchase Price with respect to such Debentures) in which case, upon such return, the Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

 

ARTICLE 9

 

CONVERSION OF DEBENTURES

 

Section 9.1 Conversion Right and Conversion Price.

 

(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Debenture or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable ADRs of the Guarantor, at the Conversion Price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion.

 

Such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity of the Debenture, except that where a Debenture or a portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Debenture or the portion so called, shall expire at the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. In the event a Holder exercises its Repurchase Right with respect to a Debenture or portion thereof, such conversion right in respect of the Debenture or portion thereof shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Repurchase Date.

 

(b) The number of ADRs into which each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures is convertible (the “Conversion Rate”) shall be initially equal to approximately 21.2037 ADRs per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as provided in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (h) and (i) of Section 9.4 and as provided in Sections 9.15 and 9.16.

 

Section 9.2 Exercise of Conversion Right.

 

To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Debenture to be converted shall surrender such Debenture duly endorsed or assigned to the Issuer or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice substantially in the form attached to the Debenture stating that the Holder elects to convert such Debenture or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion thereof to be converted.

 

32


Debentures surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (except in the case of any Debenture whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Issuer of an amount equal to the interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Debentures being surrendered for conversion.

 

Debentures shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the day of surrender of such Debentures for conversion in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Debentures as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the ADRs issuable upon conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such ADRs at such time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Issuer shall cause to be issued and delivered to such Conversion Agent a certificate or certificates representing the number of ADRs issuable upon conversion of such Debentures, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share as provided in Section 9.3.

 

In the case of any Debenture which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Issuer, a new Debenture or Debentures of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Debentures.

 

The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Trustee as the Conversion Agent.

 

The Issuer and the Guarantor hereby agree, and each Holder of Debentures by its purchase thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that the Conversion Agent shall incur no liability in connection with its obligations under this Article 9, except such liability as may result from the Conversion Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall the Conversion Agent be liable to any Person, including any Holder, for any consequential, punitive or special damages. The Issuer agrees to indemnify the Conversion Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the costs and expenses of defending against any claim (regardless of who asserts such claim) of liability) incurred by the Conversion Agent that arises out of or in connection with its obligations under this Article 9, except such as may result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Conversion Agent or any of its agents or employees. The Guarantor agrees to guarantee the obligations of the Issuer under the preceding sentence. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Supplemental Indenture.

 

Section 9.3 Fractions of ADRs.

 

No fractional ADRs shall be issued upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures. If more than one Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full ADRs which shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Debentures (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional ADRs that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures (or specified portions thereof), the Issuer shall pay a

 

33


cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Trading Price of the ADRs as of the Trading Day preceding the date of conversion.

 

Section 9.4 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

 

The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, calculated by the Issuer, from time to time as follows:

 

(a) In case the Guarantor shall hereafter pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Ordinary Shares in Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 9.4(g)) fixed for such determination plus the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution; and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 9.4(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

(b) In case the outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be subdivided into a greater number of Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and conversely, in case outstanding Ordinary Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of Ordinary Shares, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(c) In case the Guarantor shall issue rights or warrants (other than any rights or warrants referred to in Section 9.4(d)) to all holders of its outstanding Ordinary Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares) at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 9.4(g)) on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date after such Record Date by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date, plus the total number of additional Ordinary Shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible); and

 

34


(2) the denominator of which shall be the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on the close of business on the Record Date, plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market Price.

 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. To the extent that Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of Ordinary Shares (or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such Ordinary Shares, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board.

 

(d) In case the Guarantor shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Ordinary Shares any class of Capital Stock of the Guarantor (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 9.4(a) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets, including securities, but excluding (1) any rights or warrants referred to in Section 9.4(c), (2) dividends or distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 9.13 applies and (3) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash (such Capital Stock, evidence of its indebtedness, cash, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section 9.4(d) called the “distributed assets”), then, in each such case, subject to the second succeeding paragraph of this Section 9.4(d), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall be equal to the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date (as defined in Section 9.4(g)) with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided in Section 9.4(g)) on such date; and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price, less the fair market value (as determined by the Board, whose determination shall be

 

35


conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the distributed assets so distributed applicable to one Ordinary Share (determined on the basis of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on the Record Date).

 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the distributed assets so distributed applicable to one Ordinary Share is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Debenture (or any portion thereof) the amount of distributed assets such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Debenture (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

If the Board determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 9.4(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any distributed assets comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 9.4(g) to the extent possible, unless the Board in a Board Resolution determines in good faith that determining the fair market value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the Holders.

 

Rights or warrants distributed by the Issuer to all holders of Ordinary Shares entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Guarantor’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”):

 

  (1) are deemed to be transferred with such Ordinary Shares;

 

  (2) are not exercisable; and

 

  (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Ordinary Shares;

 

shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 9.4(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 9.4(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different distributed assets, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing or to purchase any of the foregoing at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and record date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 9.4(d):

 

36


(1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder of Ordinary Shares with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Ordinary Shares as of the date of such redemption or repurchase; and

 

(2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.

 

For purposes of this Section 9.4(d) and Sections 9.4(a), 9.4(b) and 9.4(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 9.4(d) is applicable that also includes Ordinary Shares, a subdivision or combination of Ordinary Shares to which Section 9.4(b) applies, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Ordinary Shares to which Section 9.4(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be:

 

(1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of Capital Stock, rights or warrants, other than such Ordinary Shares, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants to which Sections 9.4(a), 9.4(b) and 9.4(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate increase required by this Section 9.4(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), immediately followed by

 

(2) a dividend or distribution of such Ordinary Shares, such subdivision or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate increase required by Sections 9.4(a), 9.4(b) and 9.4(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

 

(A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (x) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 9.4(a); (y) “the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” and “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” within the meaning of Section 9.4(b); and (z) as “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 9.4(c); and

 

(B) any Ordinary Shares included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 9.4(a) and any reduction or increase in the number of Ordinary Shares resulting from such subdivision or combination shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

 

37


(e) In case the Guarantor shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Ordinary Shares cash (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section 9.13 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 9.4(d)), in an aggregate per share amount that, combined together with the aggregate per share amount of any other such distributions to all holders of Ordinary Shares made exclusively in cash in the same fiscal quarter of the Guarantor as the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.4(e) has been made, exceeds $0.06327 (the “Dividend Threshold Amount”) (the amount of such excess, the “Dividend Increase”), then and in each such case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on the Record Date, and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current Market Price on such date, less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the aggregate amount of the Dividend Increase and (y) the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding on the Record Date.

 

However, in the event that the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of cash, so distributed applicable to one Ordinary Share is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Debenture (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash equal to the amount of the Dividend Increase such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Debenture (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

The Dividend Threshold Amount is subject to adjustment on an inversely proportional basis whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to this Section 9.4(e).

 

If an adjustment is required to be made as set forth in this Section 9.4(e) as a result of a distribution that is not a regular quarterly dividend, the Dividend Threshold Amount will be deemed to be zero.

 

(f) In case a tender or exchange offer made by the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Ordinary Shares or ADRs shall expire and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders of consideration per share of the Ordinary Shares having a fair market value (as

 

38


determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) that, as of the last time (the “Expiration Time”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), exceeds the Current Market Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction:

 

(1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of (A) the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding less the Purchased Shares at the Expiration Time and (B) the Current Market Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time; and

 

(2) the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of Ordinary Shares outstanding (including any Purchased Shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Ordinary Shares on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Time.

 

Such reduction (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Issuer is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Issuer is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all or a portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such (or such portion of the) tender or exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 9.4(f) to any tender or exchange offer would result in a reduction in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender or exchange offer under this Section 9.4(f).

 

(g) For purposes of this Section 9.4, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

 

(1) “Current Market Price” of an Ordinary Share shall mean the average of the daily Trading Prices per ADR for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date in question, minus the fair market value per ADR of any property (cash or otherwise) then held by the ADR Depositary on behalf of the existing ADR holders, then dividing the resulting value by the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADR; provided, however, that if:

 

(2) the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 9.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs

 

39


during such ten consecutive Trading Days, the Trading Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Trading Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event;

 

(3) the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 9.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Trading Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Trading Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; and

 

(4) the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this proviso, the Trading Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section 9.4(d) or (f), whose determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets being distributed applicable to one ADR as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date.

 

For purposes of any computation under Section 9.4(f), if the “ex” date for any event (other than the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.4(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Trading Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Trading Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used:

 

(A) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the ADRs trade regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Trading Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution;

 

(B) with respect to any subdivision or combination of ADRs, means the first date on which the ADRs trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective; and

 

(C) with respect to any tender or exchange offer, means the first date on which the ADRs trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

 

40


Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Price are called for pursuant to this Section 9.4, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 9.4 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board.

 

(5) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.

 

(6) “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of ADRs have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the ADRs (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board or by statute, contract or otherwise).

 

(h) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 20 days and the increase is irrevocable during the period and the Board determines in good faith that such increase would be in the best interests of the Holders, which determination shall be conclusive and set forth in a Board Resolution. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Guarantor shall mail to the Trustee and each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the register of the Debentures a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

 

(i) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 9.4(i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment and provided, further, that all adjustments carried forward shall be made no later than the one year anniversary of the date of the first such adjustment carried forward, or immediately following any notice of redemption, regardless of whether the aggregate amount is less than 1%. All calculations under this Article 9 shall be made by the Issuer and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one hundredth of a share, as the case may be. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Ordinary Shares.

 

(j) In any case in which this Section 9.4 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Issuer may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Debenture converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Ordinary Shares issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 9.3.

 

41


(k) For purposes of this Section 9.4, the number of Ordinary Shares at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Guarantor but shall include shares issuable in respect of certificates issued in lieu of fractions of Ordinary Shares.

 

(l) If the distribution date for the rights provided in the Guarantor’s rights agreement, if any, occurs prior to the date a Debenture is converted, the Holder of the Debenture who converts such Debenture after the distribution date is not entitled to receive the rights that would otherwise be attached (but for the date of conversion) to the Ordinary Shares received upon such conversion; provided, however, that an adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 9.4(b) as if the rights were being distributed to the holders of the Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such conversion. If such an adjustment is made and the rights are later redeemed, invalidated or terminated, then a corresponding reversing adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate, on an equitable basis, to take account of such event.

 

(m) The initial Conversion Rate reflects that as of the date of this Supplemental Indenture, each ADR represents one Ordinary Share. If the number of Ordinary Shares represented by each ADR changes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted proportionately.

 

Section 9.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Rate.

 

Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided (other than in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the first sentence of Section 9.4(h) for which the notice required by such Section has been provided), the Issuer shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Promptly after delivery of such Officers’ Certificate, the Issuer shall prepare a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective, and shall mail such notice to each Holder at the address of such Holder as it appears in the register of the Debentures within 20 days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

 

Section 9.6 Notice Prior to Certain Actions.

 

In case at any time after the date hereof:

 

(1) the Guarantor shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Ordinary Shares payable otherwise than in cash out of its capital surplus or its consolidated retained earnings;

 

(2) the Guarantor shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Ordinary Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of Capital Stock of any class (or of securities convertible into shares of Capital Stock of any class) or of any other rights;

 

(3) there shall occur any reclassification of the Ordinary Shares of the Guarantor (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Ordinary Shares, a change in par value, a change from par value to no par value or a change

 

42


from no par value to par value), or any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination to which the Guarantor is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Guarantor is required, or the sale, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Guarantor; or

 

(4) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Guarantor;

 

the Guarantor shall cause to be filed at the Registrar, and shall cause to be provided to the Trustee and all Holders in accordance with Section 10.4, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating:

 

(A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Ordinary Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined; or

 

(B) the date on which such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale, transfer, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Ordinary Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Ordinary Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

 

Neither the failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the proceedings or actions described in clauses (1) through (4) of this Section 9.6.

 

Section 9.7 Guarantor to Reserve Ordinary Shares.

 

The Guarantor shall at all times use its best efforts to reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Debentures, the full number of shares of fully paid and nonassessable Ordinary Shares then issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Debentures.

 

Section 9.8 Covenant as to Ordinary Shares.

 

The Issuer covenants that all Ordinary Shares which may be issued upon conversion of Debentures will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 9.11, the Issuer will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

Section 9.9 Guarantor’s Covenant Regarding the Delivery of ADRs.

 

(a) Upon receipt by the Issuer of a Notice of Conversion in the form contained in Exhibit A hereto, the Guarantor covenants that it will deposit or cause to be

 

43


deposited Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures with the Depositary in accordance with the terms of the Deposit Agreement and will comply with the applicable terms of the Deposit Agreement so that ADRs evidencing ADSs representing such Ordinary Shares will be executed by the ADR Depositary and delivered to the Holders as required by this Agreement and the Depositary Agreement.

 

(b) The Guarantor covenants that it will perform all acts necessary in order to ensure that ADRs evidencing ADSs representing Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures are delivered to the Holders entitled thereto.

 

Section 9.10 Distribution of Ordinary Shares Instead of ADRs.

 

(a) In the event that Ordinary Shares cease to be represented by ADRs issued under a depositary receipt program sponsored by the Guarantor, or the ADRs cease to be quoted on the Nasdaq National Market (and are not at that time listed on the New York Stock Exchange or another United States national securities exchange), all references herein to ADRs will be deemed to have been replaced by a reference to:

 

(i) the number of Ordinary Shares corresponding to the ADRs on the last day on which the ADRs were quoted on the Nasdaq National Market; and

 

(ii) as adjusted, pursuant to the adjustment provisions contained in this Section 9, for any other property the ADRs represented as if the other property has been distributed to holders of ADRs on that day.

 

Section 9.11 Taxes on Conversions.

 

Except as provided in the next sentence, the Issuer will pay any and all taxes (other than taxes on income) and duties that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of ADRs on conversion of Debentures pursuant hereto. A Holder delivering a Debenture for conversion shall be liable for and will be required to pay any tax or duty which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of ADRs in a name other than that of the Holder of the Debenture or Debentures to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Issuer the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax or duty has been paid.

 

Section 9.12 Cancellation of Converted Debentures.

 

All Debentures delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled by the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 2.10 of the Base Indenture.

 

44


Section 9.13 Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.

 

If any of following events occur, namely:

 

(1) any reclassification or change of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination);

 

(2) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Guarantor with another corporation as a result of which holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Ordinary Shares; or

 

(3) any sale or conveyance of the properties and assets of the Guarantor as, or substantially as, an entirety to any other corporation as a result of which holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Ordinary Shares;

 

the Guarantor or the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that such Debenture shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) which such Holder would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Debentures been converted into Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, as set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph in the event the Holders have the right to make an election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other properties receivable. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 9. If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Ordinary Shares includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Debentures as the Board shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to the extent practicable the provisions providing for the Repurchase Rights set forth in Article 8.

 

In the event Holders of the Ordinary Shares have the right to make elections as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other properties receivable upon any such merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then from and after the effective date of such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share

 

45


exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the Debentures shall be convertible into the kind and amount of such securities, cash or other property receivable by the greatest number of holders of Ordinary Shares who made such elections.

 

The Issuer shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Debentures, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

 

The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances.

 

If this Section 9.13 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 9.4 shall not apply. Notwithstanding this Section 9.13, if a Public Acquirer Change of Control occurs and the Issuer elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and its conversion obligation pursuant to Section 9.16, the provisions of Section 9.16 shall apply to the conversion instead of this Section 9.13.

 

If this Section 9.13 applies to any event or occurrence, any Additional ADRs which a Holder is entitled to receive upon conversion pursuant to Section 9.15, if applicable, shall not be payable in ADRs, but will represent a right to receive the aggregate amount of cash, securities or other property into which the Additional ADRs would convert, determined as provided in this Section 9.13, as a result of such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance.

 

Section 9.14 Responsibility of Trustee for Conversion Provisions.

 

The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Debentures to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Price, or with respect to the nature or intent of any such adjustments when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (of the kind or amount) of any ADRs or Ordinary Share, or of any other securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Debenture; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Issuer to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of stock or share certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Debenture for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Base Indenture, and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible or liable for any failure of the Issuer or the Guarantor to comply with any of the covenants of the Issuer or the Guarantor contained in this Article.

 

46


Section 9.15 Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon a Change of Control.

 

(a) Subject to Section 9.13 and Section 9.16, if a Holder converts a Debenture on or before February 1, 2008, in connection with a Change of Control pursuant to which 10% or more of the consideration for the Ordinary Shares (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in the Change of Control consists of cash or securities (or other property) that are not traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following the Change of Control on a U.S. national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market (a “Non-Stock Change of Control”), the Issuer will increase the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion by a number of additional ADRs (the “Additional ADRs”) as set forth below. A conversion of Debentures by a Holder will be deemed “in connection with” a Change of Control if the Conversion Agent receives from the Holders a conversion notice within 30 days after the date on which the Issuer sends to Holders the Issuer Notice required by Section 9.15(b). The number of Additional ADRs will be determined by reference to the table below, based on the Effective Date and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share for the ADRs in the Non-Stock Change of Control. If holders of ADRs receive only cash in the Non-Stock Change of Control, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Trading Price of the ADRs on the five Trading Days prior to but not including the Effective Date of such Non-Stock Change of Control.

 

The Stock Prices and number of Additional ADRs set forth in the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted. On such date, the Stock Prices shall be adjusted by multiplying:

 

(i) the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, by

 

(ii) a fraction, of which

 

(1) the numerator shall be the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment; and

 

(2) the denominator shall be the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

 

The number of Additional ADRs shall be correspondingly adjusted in the same manner as the adjustments described in Section 9.4.

 

The following table sets forth the Stock Price and the number of Additional ADRs issuable per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of the Debentures:

 

     Stock Price

Stock Price


   $41.01

   $45.00

If the Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth on the table above and the Stock Price is:

 

(A) between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two dates in the table, the number of Additional ADRs will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the number of shares of Additional ADRs set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price and the two Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year;

 

(B) in excess of $70.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no shares of Additional ADRs will be issuable upon conversion; or

 

(C) less than $41.01 per share (subject to adjustment), no shares of Additional ADRs will be issuable upon conversion.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of ADRs issuable upon conversion exceed 24.3843 per $1,000 of aggregate principal amount of Debentures, subject to adjustments in the same manner as adjustments to the Conversion Rate provided for in Section 9.4.

 

The Issuer and each Holder, by accepting the Debentures, acknowledge that the loss suffered by a Holder in the event of a Change of Control requiring the Issuer to deliver Additional ADRs upon conversion of a Debenture is not susceptible of precise determination. The Issuer and each Holder, by accepting the Debentures, agree that the adjustment to the Conversion Rate relating to the Additional ADRs is intended to compensate Holders for the lost option value of the Debentures following such Change of Control, is reasonable in relation to the loss suffered by Holders and is not a penalty for the Issuer.

 

(b) The Issuer must provide notice to all Holders and to the Trustee within 10 days following the effectiveness of a Change of Control (“Non-Stock Change of Control Issuer Notice”, which is also an Issuer Notice as defined in Section 8.2(a)).

 

Section 9.16 Conversion After a Public Acquiror Change of Control.

 

(a) In the event of a Public Acquiror Change of Control, the Issuer may, in lieu of issuing Additional ADRs pursuant to Section 9.15(a), elect to adjust the Conversion Rate and the related conversion obligation such that from and after the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control, Holders of the Debentures will be entitled to convert their Debentures, in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof, into a number of shares of Public Acquiror Common Stock by adjusting the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Effective Date of the Public Acquiror Change of Control by multiplying it by a fraction:

 

(i) the numerator of which will be (A) in the case of a share exchange, consolidation or merger, pursuant to which the Ordinary Shares (including those represented by ADRs) are converted into cash, securities or other property, the average value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board) paid or payable per Ordinary Share or (B) in the case of any other Public Acquiror Change of Control, the average of the

 

48


Trading Prices of the ADRs for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control; and

 

(ii) the denominator of which will be the average Trading Price of the Public Acquiror Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control.

 

The Issuer will notify Holders of its election, if any, pursuant to this Section 9.16(a) in the notice provided pursuant to as set forth in Section 9.15(b).

 

Section 9.17 Mandatory Net Share Settlement.

 

(a) The Issuer will deliver in respect of each $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of debentures converted the settlement amount, which shall consist of:

 

(i) cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Settlement Value; and

 

(ii) if the Settlement Value exceeds $1,000, a number of Teva ADRs for each of the 20 Trading Days in the Settlement Period equal to 1/20th of (x) the Conversion Rate then in effect minus (y) the quotient of $1,000 divided by the Applicable Stock Price on that day (plus cash in lieu of fractional ADRs, if applicable).

 

The Company will deliver the settlement amount to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the applicable Settlement Period.

 

For purposes of this Section, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

 

(iii) “Applicable Stock Price” on any Trading Day means the Trading Price on that Trading Day or (ii) if such price is not available, the market value per ADR on that day as determined by a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained for this purpose by the Issuer.

 

(iv) “Settlement Period” means the 20 Trading Day period:

 

(1) ending one Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, if the Issuer has called the Debentures delivered for conversion for redemption;

 

(2) ending one Trading Day immediately preceding the 30th day after the Issuer sends a Non-Stock Change of Control Issuer Notice or Fundamental Change Issuer Notice, if the Issuer sends such notice;

 

(3) ending one Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity, if the Holder delivers the conversion notice during the period beginning 25 Trading Days immediately preceding the Stated Maturity and ending one Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity;

 

49


(v) “Settlement Value” for each $1,000 principal amount of Debentures being converted means an amount equal to the sum of the daily settlement values for each of the 20 Trading Days in the Settlement Period, where the “daily settlement value” for any Trading Day equals 1/20th of:

 

(1) the Conversion Rate in effect on that day multiplied by

 

(2) the Applicable Stock Price on that day.

Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

Upon any application or demand by the Issuer or the Guarantor to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, the Issuer or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate or Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate, as the case may be, stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Supplemental Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent have been complied with, except that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Supplemental Indenture relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL FINANCE COMPANY, LLC

 

0.25% Convertible Senior Debenture due 2026

 

Payment of Principal, Interest and Additional Tax Amounts, if any, Unconditionally

Guaranteed By and Convertible Into American Depositary Receipts of

 

TEVA PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED

 

Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

 

1. Principal and Interest.

 

Teva Pharmaceutical Finance Company, LLC, a company duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Issuer”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Debenture at the Interest Rate from January 31, 2006 until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. Interest shall be payable semiannually in arrears on each February 1 and August 1 of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing August 1, 2006.

 

Interest on the Debentures shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

 

A Holder of any Debenture at the close of business on a Regular Record Date shall be entitled to receive interest on such Debenture on the corresponding Interest Payment Date. A Holder of any Debenture which is converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date (other than any Debenture whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be entitled to receive interest on the principal amount of such Debenture, notwithstanding the conversion of such Debenture prior to such Interest Payment Date. However, any such Holder which surrenders any such Debenture for conversion during the period between the close of business on such Regular Record Date and ending with the opening of business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date shall be required to pay the Issuer an amount equal to the interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any) on the principal amount of such Debenture so converted, which is payable by the Issuer to such Holder on such Interest Payment Date, at the time such Holder surrenders such Debenture for conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder which surrenders for conversion any Debenture which has been called for redemption by the Issuer in a notice of redemption given by the Issuer pursuant to Article 7 of the Supplemental Indenture shall be entitled to receive (and retain) such accrued interest to the Redemption Date and need not pay the Issuer an amount equal to the interest on the principal amount of such Debenture so converted at the time such Holder surrenders such Debenture for conversion.

 

A-6


2. Method of Payment.

 

Interest on any Debenture which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Debenture (or one or more Predecessor Debentures) is registered at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date for such interest.

 

Principal of and interest on Global Debentures shall be payable to the Depositary in immediately available funds.

 

Principal of Physical Debentures will be payable at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for such purpose, initially the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee. Interest on Physical Debentures will be payable by (i) U.S. Dollar check drawn on a bank in The City of New York mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the register of the Debentures, or (ii) upon application to the Registrar not later than the relevant Record Date by a Holder of an aggregate principal amount of Debentures in excess of $5,000,000, wire transfer in immediately available funds, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Registrar to the contrary.

 

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

 

Initially, The Bank of New York, the Trustee under the Supplemental Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder.

 

4. Supplemental Indenture and Indenture.

 

The Issuer issued this Debenture under a Supplemental Indenture and a Base Indenture, each dated as of January 31, 2006 (respectively, the “Supplemental Indenture” and the “Base Indenture” and together, the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Guarantor and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms of the Debenture include those stated in the Indenture, and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“TIA”). This Debenture is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Debenture and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

 

5. Optional Redemption.

 

At any time on or after February 1, 2008, this Debenture (except for such portion of the Debenture that the Issuer is required to repurchase pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Supplemental Indenture) may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer, on any date prior to Maturity, upon notice as set forth in Section 7.3 of the Supplemental Indenture, at the Redemption Price plus any interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

 

If any Debenture selected for partial redemption is converted or elected to be repurchased in part before termination of the conversion right or repurchase right with respect to

 

A-7


the portion of the Debenture so selected, the converted or repurchased portion of such Debenture shall be deemed to be the portion selected for redemption; provided, however, that the Holder of such Debenture so converted and deemed redeemed shall not be entitled to any additional interest payment as a result of such deemed redemption than such Holder would have otherwise been entitled to receive upon conversion of such Debenture pursuant to Section 2.1(e) of the Supplemental Indenture. Debentures that have been converted during a selection of Debentures to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

 

Notice of redemption will be given by the Issuer to the Holders as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

 

6. Repurchase Rights.

 

Optional Repurchase Rights. On February 1, 2008, 2011, 2016 and 2021, each Holder of Debentures shall have the right, at such Holder’s option but subject to the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, to require the Issuer to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Issuer shall repurchase, all of such Holder’s Debentures, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to any integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that no single Debenture may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the principal amount of such Debenture to be outstanding after such repurchase is equal to an integral multiple of $1,000), at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased, plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Optional Repurchase Date.

 

Repurchase Right Upon a Change of Control or Termination of Trading. In the event that a Change of Control or a Termination of Trading shall occur, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, in accordance with the Supplemental Indenture, to require the Issuer to repurchase, and upon the exercise of such right the Issuer shall repurchase, all of such Holder’s Debentures not theretofore called for redemption, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to any integral multiple of $1,000 (provided that no single Debenture may be repurchased in part unless the portion of the principal amount of such Debenture to be Outstanding after such repurchase is equal to an integral multiple of $1,000), on the date that is 45 days after the date of the Issuer Notice given pursuant to the Supplemental Indenture in connection with such Change of Control or Termination of Trading at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures to be repurchased, plus interest accrued and unpaid to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.

 

An Issuer Notice will be given by the Issuer to the Holders as provided in the Supplemental Indenture. To exercise a Repurchase Right, a Holder must deliver to the Trustee a written notice as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

 

7. Conversion Rights.

 

Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Supplemental Indenture, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Debenture or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at any time at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into duly authorized, fully paid and nonassessable ADRs of the Guarantor, at the Conversion Rate in effect at the time of conversion.

 

A-8


Such conversion right shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding February 1, 2026.

 

In case a Debenture or a portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Debenture or the portion so called, shall expire at the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in making the payment due upon redemption. In the event a Holder exercises its Repurchase Right with respect to a Debenture or portion thereof, such conversion right in respect of the Debenture or portion thereof shall expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Repurchase Date.

 

The Conversion Rate initially shall be equal to approximately 21.2037 ADRs per $1,000 principal amount of Debentures. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain circumstances as provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

 

To exercise the conversion right, the Holder of any Debenture to be converted shall surrender such Debenture duly endorsed or assigned to the Issuer or in blank, at the office of any Conversion Agent, accompanied by a duly signed conversion notice to the Issuer, substantially in the form attached to this Debenture.

 

Debentures surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (except in the case of any Debenture whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date) shall be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other funds acceptable to the Issuer of an amount equal to the interest to be received on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Debentures being surrendered for conversion, plus Additional Tax Amounts if any.

 

No fractional ADRs will be issued upon conversion of any Debenture or Debentures. Instead of any fractional ADR that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of such Debenture or Debentures (or specified portions thereof), the Issuer shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction (calculated to the nearest one-100th of a share) in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Trading Price of the ADRs as of the Trading Day preceding the date of conversion.

 

If a Holder converts a Debenture in connection with a Non-Stock Change of Control, the Issuer will increase the Conversion Rate applicable to such conversion by a number of additional ADRs, as described in the Section 9.15 of the Supplemental Indenture.

 

In the event of a Public Acquiror Change of Control, the Issuer may, in lieu of issuing Additional ADRs, elect to adjust the Conversion Rate and the related conversion obligation such that from and after the Effective Date of such Public Acquiror Change of Control, Holders of the Debentures will be entitled to convert their Debentures, into a number of shares of Public Acquiror Common Stock by adjusting the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Effective Date of the Public Acquiror Change of Control, as described in the Section 9.16 of the Supplemental Indenture.

 

A-9


The Issuer will deliver in respect of each $1,000 in aggregate principal amount of debentures converted the settlement amount, which shall consist of cash equal to the lesser of $1,000 and the Settlement Value, and if the Settlement Value exceeds $1,000, a number of Teva ADRs for each of the 20 Trading Days in the Settlement Period equal to 1/20th of the Conversion Rate then in effect minus the quotient of $1,000 divided by the Applicable Stock Price on that day (plus cash in lieu of fractional ADRs, if applicable).

 

The Company will deliver the settlement amount to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the applicable Settlement Period.

 

8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

 

The Debentures are issuable in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Debentures in accordance with the Indenture. The Issuer or the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and the Issuer may require a Holder to pay any taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer of Debentures.

 

The Issuer shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Debenture for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Debentures to be redeemed, or (b) any Debentures selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Debenture where notice has been given that such Debenture is to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed.

 

In the event of redemption, conversion or repurchase of the Debentures in part only, a new Debenture or Debentures for the unredeemed, unconverted or unrepurchased portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof.

 

9. Holders to be Treated as Owners.

 

The registered Holder of this Debenture shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

 

10. Unclaimed Money.

 

Any moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Debenture and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become due and payable, shall, upon the written request of the Issuer and unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, and the Holder of the Debenture shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property laws, thereafter look only to the Issuer for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any Paying Agent with respect to such moneys shall thereupon cease.

 

A-10


11. Satisfaction and Discharge.

 

The Issuer and the Guarantor may satisfy and discharge their obligations under the Indenture while the Debentures remain outstanding, if (a) all Outstanding Debentures have become due and payable at their scheduled Maturity, or (b) all Outstanding Debentures have been called for redemption, and in either case, the Issuer has deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay and discharge all Outstanding Debentures on the date of their scheduled Maturity or the scheduled Redemption Date.

 

12. Supplement; Waiver.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Debentures under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures (or such lesser amount as shall have acted at a meeting pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture). The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Debentures at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Debentures, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Debenture shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Debenture and of any Debenture issued upon registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Debenture or such other Debenture.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debenture or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Debenture at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed or to convert this Debenture (or pay cash in lieu of conversion) as provided in the Indenture.

 

13. Defaults and Remedies.

 

The Indenture provides that an Event of Default with respect to the Debentures occurs when any of the following occurs:

 

(a) the Issuer defaults in the payment of the principal of any of the Debentures when it becomes due and payable at Maturity, upon redemption or exercise of a Repurchase Right or otherwise;

 

(b) the Issuer defaults in the payment of interest (including Additional Tax Amounts, if any) on any of the Debentures when it becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

 

(c) the Guarantor fails to perform under the Guarantees;

 

(d) either the Issuer or the Guarantor fails to perform or observe any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Debentures or the Indenture and the default continues for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Issuer or the Guarantor, respectively, to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Issuer or

 

A-11


the Guarantor, respectively, by the Trustee or to the Issuer or the Guarantor, respectively, and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures;

 

(e) except as otherwise permitted by the Indenture, the Guarantee is held in any final, nonappealable judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or the Guarantor, or any person acting on behalf of the Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under the Guarantee;

 

(f) (i) the Issuer or the Guarantor fails to make by the end of the applicable grace period, if any, any payment of principal or interest due in respect of any Indebtedness for borrowed money, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of which is an amount in excess of $25,000,000; or (ii) there is an acceleration of any Indebtedness for borrowed money in an amount in excess of $25,000,000 because of a default with respect to such Indebtedness without such Indebtedness having been discharged or such non-payment or acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled, in the case of either (i) or (ii) above, for a period of 30 days after written notice to the Issuer by the Trustee or to the Issuer and the Trustee by Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debentures; or

 

(g) there are certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Issuer or Guarantor.

 

If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Debentures may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Supplemental Indenture.

 

14. Authentication.

 

This Debenture shall not be valid until the Trustee (or authenticating agent) executes the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Debenture.

 

15. CUSIP Numbers.

 

The Issuer has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on this Debenture and, therefore, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders. Any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Debentures or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Debentures, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

 

16. Governing Law.

 

The Supplemental Indenture, Indenture and this Debenture shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

 

A-12
