Item 1.01.      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 3, 2008, Tyco International Ltd. (the “Company”), along with its finance subsidiary Tyco International Finance S.A. (“TIFSA”, and together with the Company “Tyco”), announced the expiration of their previously announced consent solicitations and exchange offers issued under the Company’s 1998 and 2003 indentures.  Tyco accepted all consents and notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the exchange offers.

 

Consent Solicitations and Consent Notes

 

In connection with the consent solicitations, Tyco entered into a series of supplemental indentures with Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee for the holders of  the following series of Tyco’s notes (collectively, the “Consent Notes”):

 

·                          Remaining 7.0% notes due 2028;

·                          Remaining 6.875% notes due 2029;

·                          6.0% notes due 2013;

·                          6.375% notes due 2011;

·                          6.75% notes due 2011;

·                          6.125% notes due 2009; and

·                          6.125% notes due 2008.

 

The indentures governing the Consent Notes contain terms that are substantially the same as the terms that governed the Consent Notes prior to the completion of the consent solicitations, with the exception of a new covenant for each series of Consent Notes that provides noteholders with the right to require Tyco to repurchase the Consent Notes for a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, in the event of certain change of control transactions (the “Change of Control Covenant”).

 

The description above is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the supplemental indentures that add the Change of Control Covenant, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.

 

Exchange Offers and New Notes

 

In connection with the exchange offers, Tyco issued $421,961,000 of its 7.0% Notes due 2019 (the “2019 Notes”) in exchange for an equal principal amount of it 7.0% Notes due 2028 and $707,404,000 of its 6.875% Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes” and, together with the 2019 Notes, the “New Notes”) in exchange for an equal principal amount of its 6.875% Notes due 2029.  The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  In the exchange offers, Tyco offered the New Notes to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act and to non-U.S. persons in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

 

The New Notes are governed by an Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of June 9, 1998, between the Company, TIFSA, and Wilmington Trust Company, as successor trustee to The Bank of New York, as supplemented by two Supplemental Indentures, each dated as of June 3, 2008 (together, the “Supplemental Indentures”).  The terms of the indentures governing the New Notes are substantially the same as the terms of the indentures governing the series of notes for which they were exchanged (a small portion of which remain outstanding) except that the Change of Control Covenant has been added for both the New Notes and the remaining notes.  A copy of each Supplemental Indenture, including the forms of New Notes, is attached hereto as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4 and each is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.  In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, Tyco entered into an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement (the “Exchange and Registration Rights

 

 

 

 

2



 

 

Agreement”), dated as of June 3, 2008.  Under the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, Tyco agrees:  (i) to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an exchange offer registration statement with respect to an exchange offer registered under the Securities Act (the “Registered Exchange Offer”) to exchange the New Notes for an issue of another series of notes (the “Registered Exchange Notes”), that are identical in all material respects to the New Notes offered hereby (except that the Registered Exchange Notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions); (ii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registered Exchange Offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 245 days of the Settlement Date; (iii) to use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and complete the Registered Exchange Offer promptly, but no later than 45 days after such registration statement has become effective and to hold the Registered Exchange Offer open for not less than 20 days; and (iv) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the New Notes to be freely tradeable under Rule 144 under the Securities Act by holders of the New Notes who are not affiliates of TIFSA or Tyco and after the 180th day after the issuance of the New Notes until the first anniversary of the issuance of the New Notes.

 

If the Registered Exchange Offer is not consummated, under certain circumstances and within specified time periods, Tyco is required to file and cause to be declared effective a shelf registration statement covering resales of the New Notes.

 

Tyco will be required to pay the holders of the New Notes additional interest on the New Notes if the New Notes are not freely tradeable under Rule 144 by holders of the New Notes who are not Affiliates of Tyco from the 180th day after the Closing Date until the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

A copy of the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.5 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The descriptions of the Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures, the New Notes and the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in this report are summaries only and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Indenture, the Supplemental Indentures, the New Notes and the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, respectively.

 

Item 1.02.      Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

In connection with the completion of Tyco’s exchange offers and consent solicitations, on June 3, 2008, Tyco notified the administrative agent under its 364-day Senior Bridge Loan Agreement that it is terminating such agreement, including the $4.0 billion in lending commitments available under “Tranche C” of the agreement.  The Tranche C commitments were available to Tyco to repay the notes described above in certain circumstances.  As a result of the successful completion of the exchange offers and consent solicitations, Tyco no longer needs the commitments under Tranche C.  The termination will be effective June 6, 2008.  As of June 3, 2008, there are no loans outstanding under the facility.

 

In addition, on June 3, 2008, Tyco notified the administrative agent under its $500 million Senior Bridge Letter of Credit Facility that it is terminating such facility and all commitments under that facility, effective June 6, 2008.  The Senior Bridge Letter of Credit Facility was due to expire on June 15, 2008.   No loans have been made, nor are there any letters of credit outstanding, under that facility.

 

Item 2.03.      Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01.      Other Events.

 

On May 29, 2008, the Company agreed to settlement terms (the “MOU”) with the City of Phoenix related to the previously disclosed disputes between the City of Phoenix and Earth Tech over the 91st Avenue Wastewater Treatment Plant.  The MOU sets forth the basic settlement terms for the litigation

between Earth Tech and the City of Phoenix related to the 91st Avenue facility, and includes a general release of all claims by each party related to the litigation without any party making any payment to any other party.  On June 4, 2008, the MOU was approved by the Phoenix City Council, and the parties to the MOU are taking the necessary steps to obtain a complete dismissal of the litigation and to formally document the terms of the MOU.  In connection with the foregoing, the Company has assessed its assets under the original contract with the City of Phoenix of $50 million and has concluded that the assets are no longer recoverable.

 

On June 2, 2008, the Company entered into an Agreement in Principle (“Agreement”) with the trustee of various trusts that brought claims against the Company alleging, among other things, securities fraud in connection with the Company’s 1999 acquisition of AMP, Inc.  The Agreement sets forth the basic terms pursuant to which the parties will settle all claims between them that are raised or could have been raised in the previously disclosed litigation entitled Ballard v. Tyco International Ltd.  The Agreement calls for the Company to make a payment of $36 million to the plaintiffs, which payment is subject to the sharing formula contained in the separation agreement among the Company, Tyco Electronics and Covidien entered into upon the spin-offs of Tyco Electronics and Covidien in June 2007.  Pursuant to the sharing formula, the Company’s net liability is approximately $10 million, with Tyco Electronics and Covidien responsible for approximately $11 million and $15 million, respectively. 

 

On June 5, 2008, the Company issued a press release announcing its acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Winner Security Services LLC, a Sensormatic franchisee, for approximately $90 million.  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01.

THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 2008-1 is dated as of May 15, 2008 among Tyco International Group S.A., a Luxembourg company (in liquidation) (“TIGSA”), Tyco International Finance S.A., a Luxembourg company (“TIFSA”), Tyco International Ltd., a Bermuda company (“Tyco”), and Wilmington Trust Company, as successor to The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                  TIGSA executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of June 9, 1998 (as heretofore amended, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance of the Securities.

 

B.                                    The Boards of Directors of TIGSA, TIFSA and Tyco have determined it is desirable to enter into this Supplemental Indenture.

 

C.                                    The entry into this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1 by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Indenture.

 

D.                                   Reference is made herein to (i) a Consent Solicitation Statement (the “2028-2029 Consent Solicitation Statement”), dated April 11, 2008, relating to the 7.0% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and the 6.875% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), (ii) a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated April 11, 2008 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), relating to the series of Securities other than the 2028 Notes and the 2029 Notes that are outstanding under the Indenture and certain other debt securities issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of November 12, 2003 and (iii) the Offering Memorandum, dated April 11, 2008, in connection with an offer to exchange offered to certain holders of the 2028 Notes and the 2029 Notes (the “Offering Memorandum”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, TIGSA, TIFSA, Tyco and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, subject to Section 2.5 hereof, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Securities as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Section 1.1                                   Waiver of Default or Event of Default.

 

Pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Indenture, any default or Event of Default, and the consequences thereof, which may have arisen prior to April 11, 2008, including any alleged default or Event of Default arising from the series of transactions preparatory to and in connection with the separation of the electronics, healthcare and fire and security and engineered products and services businesses and related assets and liabilities of Tyco and its subsidiaries and the distribution of such electronics and healthcare businesses and related assets and liabilities to Tyco’s shareholders (the “Separation Transactions”) is hereby waived.  Section 8.1 of the Indenture shall be amended to insert after the first use of the word “assets,” the following:  “(in one or more series of related transactions other than any transaction or series of related transactions that is the subject of the Existing Litigation or otherwise relates to the Separation Transactions).”

 

2



 

Section 1.2                                   Expenses.

 

The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee the actual legal fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Trustee and holders of beneficial interests in the Securities arising from the Separation Transactions or the proceeding originally entitled The Bank of New York v. Tyco International Group S.A., No. 07 Civ. 4659 (SAS), pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or any other legal proceeding arising out of the Separation Transactions (the “Existing Litigation”), that have been submitted in writing to the Issuer on or prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1; provided that in no event shall such amount, together with similar amounts owed in connection with the Indenture dated as of November 12, 2003, initially among TIGSA, Tyco and The Bank of New York, as supplemented, exceed $3,900,000 in the aggregate.  Such payment shall be deemed to have satisfied all obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture relating to the reimbursement of fees and expenses arising from the Separation Transactions or the Existing Litigation.

 

Section 1.3                                   Additional Obligor.

 

Each of the parties to this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1 confirms that TIFSA expressly agreed to become and did become, effective as of May 31, 2007, a co-obligor with respect to the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Issuer.  In connection with TIFSA becoming such a co-obligor, the Issuer remained as an obligor and Tyco remained as Guarantor under the Indenture with respect to the Securities.

 

Section 1.4                                   Assumption and Succession.

 

Each of the parties to this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1 confirms that Tyco agreed to assume and did assume, as of June 1, 2007, all of the obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture, including the obligation to make the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Issuer, and Tyco succeeded to, and was substituted for, the Issuer with the same effect as if Tyco had been named therein and TIGSA was discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

 

Section 1.5                                   Change of Control.

 

(a)                                 With respect to each series of Securities issued prior to and outstanding on April 11, 2008, if a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its option to redeem the Securities of a series, the Issuer shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Securities of such series to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Issuer shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities of such series repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities of such series repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Issuer’s

option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to Holders of the Securities of such series describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(b)                                In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto as Exhibit A) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:

 

(i)                                    the name of the Holder of such Security;

 

(ii)                                 the principal amount of such Security;

 

(iii)                            the principal amount of such Security to be repurchased;

 

(iv)                             the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of such Security;

 

(v)                                a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and

 

(vi)                             a guarantee that such Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(c)                                 Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a Security, but in that event the principal amount of such Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must equal an integral multiple of $1,000.

 

(d)                                On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i)                                    accept for payment all Securities of the applicable series or portions of such Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii)                               deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities of such series or portions of such Securities properly tendered; and

 

(iii)                            deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of such series properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate

 

4



 

principal amount of Securities of such series or portions of such Securities being repurchased.

 

(e)                                 The Issuer shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and the third party purchases all Securities of a series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Issuer shall not repurchase any Securities of a series if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

(f)                                   The Issuer shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations prohibit any portion of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series, the Issuer shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such portion of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities of this series by virtue of any such compliance.

TYCO INTERNATIONAL LTD.

 

AND

 

WILMINGTON TRUST COMPANY,
as Trustee

 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 2008-1
Dated as of May 15, 2008

 


 



 

THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE 2008-1 is dated as of May 15, 2008 among Tyco International Group S.A., a Luxembourg company (in liquidation) (“TIGSA”), Tyco International Finance S.A., a Luxembourg company (“TIFSA”), Tyco International Ltd., a Bermuda company (“Tyco”), and Wilmington Trust Company, as successor to The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                  TIGSA executed and delivered to the Trustee an Indenture, dated as of November 12, 2003 (as heretofore amended, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance of the Securities.

 

B.                                    The Boards of Directors of TIGSA, TIFSA and Tyco have determined it is desirable to enter into this Supplemental Indenture.

 

C.                                    The entry into this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1 by the parties hereto is in all respects authorized by the provisions of the Indenture.

 

D.                                   Reference is made herein to (i) two Consent Solicitation Statements (the “Consent Solicitation Statements”), each dated April 11, 2008, relating to the 6.0% Notes due 2013 (which were issued under the Indenture) and certain other debt securities issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of June 9, 1998 and amended from time to time (as so amended, the “1998 Indenture”), and (ii) an Offering Memorandum, dated April 11, 2008, in connection with an offer to exchange offered to certain holders of debt securities issued under the 1998 Indenture (the “Offering Memorandum”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, TIGSA, TIFSA, Tyco and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree, subject to Section 2.5 hereof, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the respective holders from time to time of the Securities as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

Section 1.1                                  Waiver of Default or Event of Default.

 

Pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Indenture, any Default or Event of Default, and the consequences thereof, which may have arisen prior to April 11, 2008, including any alleged default or Event of Default arising from the series of transactions preparatory to and in connection with the separation of the electronics, healthcare and fire and security and engineered products and services businesses and related assets and liabilities of Tyco and its subsidiaries and the distribution of such electronics and healthcare businesses and related assets and liabilities to Tyco’s shareholders (the “Separation Transactions”) is hereby waived. Section 10.01 of the Indenture shall be amended to insert after the first use of the word “assets,” the following:  “(in one or more series of related transactions other than any transaction or series of related transactions that is the subject of the Existing Litigation or otherwise relates to the Separation Transactions).”

 

2



 

Section 1.2                                  Expenses.

 

The Company shall pay to the Trustee the actual legal fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Trustee and holders of beneficial interests in the Securities arising from the Separation Transactions or the proceeding originally entitled The Bank of New York v. Tyco International Group S.A., No. 07 Civ. 4659 (SAS), pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or any other legal proceeding arising out of the Separation Transactions (the “Existing Litigation”), that have been submitted in writing to the Company on or prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1; provided that in no event shall such amount, together with similar amounts owed in connection with the Indenture dated as of June 9, 1998, initially among TIGSA, Tyco and The Bank of New York, as supplemented, exceed $3,900,000 in the aggregate. Such payment shall be deemed to have satisfied all obligations of the Company under the Indenture relating to the reimbursement of fees and expenses arising from the Separation Transactions or the Existing Litigation.

 

Section 1.3                                  Additional Obligor.

 

Each of the parties to this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1 confirms that TIFSA expressly agreed to become and did become, effective as of May 31, 2007, a co-obligor with respect to the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company. In connection with TIFSA becoming such a co-obligor, the Company remained as an obligor and Tyco remained as Guarantor under the Indenture with respect to the Securities.

 

Section 1.4                                  Assumption and Succession.

 

Each of the parties to this Supplemental Indenture 2008-1 confirms that Tyco agreed to assume and did assume, as of June 1, 2007, all of the obligations of the Company under the Indenture, including the obligation to make the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all the Securities according to their tenor and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements of the Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company, and Tyco succeeded to, and was substituted for, the Company with the same effect as if Tyco had been named therein and TIGSA was discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Indenture and the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

 

Section 1.5                                  Change of Control.

 

(a)                                 With respect to the Securities issued prior to and outstanding on April 11, 2008 (the “2003 Securities”), if a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the 2003 Securities, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the 2003 Securities to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s 2003 Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2003 Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2003 Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”).

 

3



 

Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to Holders of the 2003 Securities describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such 2003 Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(b)                                In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its 2003 Security together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto as Exhibit A) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:

 

(i)                                    the name of the Holder of such Security;

 

(ii)                                 the principal amount of such Security;

 

(iii)                             the principal amount of such Security to be repurchased;

 

(iv)                             the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of such Security;

 

(v)                                a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and

 

(vi)                             a guarantee that such Security, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(c)                                 Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a 2003 Security, but in that event the principal amount of such Security remaining outstanding after repurchase must equal an integral multiple of $1,000.

 

(d)                                On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i)                                    accept for payment all 2003 Securities or portions of such 2003 Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii)                                deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2003 Securities or portions of such 2003 Securities properly tendered; and

(iii)                              deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2003 Securities properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2003 Securities or portions of such 2003 Securities being repurchased.

 

(e)                                 The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party purchases all 2003 Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any 2003 Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

(f)                                   The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2003 Securities as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations prohibit any portion of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the 2003 Securities, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such portion of the Change of Control Offer provisions of the 2003 Securities by virtue of any such compliance.

unless the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the interpretation or administration thereof. In the event that the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor is required to so withhold or deduct any amount for or on account of any Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay such additional amounts (“Additional Amounts”) as may be necessary so that the net amount received by each Holder of Notes (including Additional Amounts) after such withholding or deduction will equal the amount that such Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted; provided that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to a payment made to a Holder of Notes to the extent:

 

(a)                                 that any such Taxes would not have been so imposed but for the existence of any present or former connection between such Holder and the Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes (other than the mere receipt of such payment, acquisition, ownership or disposition of such Notes or the exercise or enforcement of rights under such Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture);

 

(b)                                of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, or personal property Taxes imposed with respect to such Notes, except as otherwise provided herein;

(d)                                that such Holder would not be liable or subject to such withholding or deduction of Taxes but for the failure to make a valid declaration of non-residence or other similar claim for exemption, if (x) the making of such declaration or claim is required or imposed by statute, treaty, regulation, ruling or administrative practice of the relevant Taxing Authority as a precondition to an exemption from, or reduction in, the relevant Taxes, and (y) at least 60 days prior to the first payment date with respect to which the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor shall apply this clause (d), the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor shall have notified all Holders of Notes in writing that they shall be required to provide such declaration or claim.

 

The Company and Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will also (i) make such withholding or deduction of Taxes and (ii) remit the full amount of Taxes so deducted or withheld to the relevant Taxing Authority in accordance with all applicable laws. The Company and Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will use their or its reasonable best efforts to obtain certified copies of tax receipts evidencing the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld from each Taxing Authority imposing such Taxes. The Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will, upon request, make available to the Holders of the Notes, within 60 days after the date the payment of any Taxes so deducted or withheld is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor or if, notwithstanding the Company’s and Tyco’s or such Guarantor’s

 

7



 

efforts to obtain such receipts, the same are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor.

 

At least 30 days prior to each date on which any payment under or with respect to the Notes or Guarantees is due and payable, if the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor will be obligated to pay Additional Amounts with respect to such payment, the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating the fact that such Additional Amounts will be payable, the amounts so payable and setting forth such other information as is necessary to enable such Trustee to pay such Additional Amounts to Holders of Notes on the payment date.

 

In addition, the Company and Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, will pay any stamp, issue, registration, documentary or other similar taxes and duties, including interest, penalties and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, payable in Luxembourg, Bermuda or the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority of or in the foregoing in respect of the creation, issue, offering, enforcement, redemption or retirement of the Notes or the Guarantees.

 

The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of or the discharge of the Indenture and shall apply mutatis mutandis to any jurisdiction in which any successor Person to the Company, Tyco or such Guarantor, as the case may be, is organized or is engaged in business for tax purposes or any political subdivisions or taxing authority or agency thereof or therein.

 

Whenever in the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of principal (and premium, if any), redemption price, interest or any other amount payable under or with respect to any Notes or Guarantees, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.”

A Holder of a Restricted Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transfer such Restricted Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note only if the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable, and an opinion of counsel in form, and from legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Security Registrar and the Company and Tyco to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act. Upon satisfaction of the conditions of any of the subparagraphs in this Section 2.10(f)(2), the Trustee shall cancel the Restricted Definitive Notes so transferred or exchanged and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of the Unrestricted Global Note.

 

(3)                                 Unrestricted Definitive Notes to Beneficial Interests in Unrestricted Global Notes. A Holder of an Unrestricted Definitive Note may exchange such Note for a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note or transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note at any time. Upon receipt of a written request for such an exchange or transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Unrestricted Definitive Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Unrestricted Global Notes. If any such exchange or transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant to subparagraphs (2) or (3) of this Section 2.10(f) at a time when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company and Tyco shall issue and, upon receipt of a written Company order or Tyco order for the authentication and

(g)                                Transfer and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes. Upon written request by a Holder of Definitive Notes and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.10(g), the Trustee shall register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.9 of the Indenture. In addition to the requirements set forth in Section 2.9 of the Indenture, the requesting Holder shall provide any additional certifications, documents, and information, as applicable, required pursuant to the following provisions of this Section 2.10(g).

(2)                                 Restricted Definitive Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes. Any Restricted Definitive Note may be exchanged by the Holder thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or transferred to a Person or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note if the Security Registrar receives a completed certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable and an opinion of counsel in form, and from legal counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Company and Tyco to the effect that such exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.

Upon receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Security Registrar shall register the Unrestricted Definitive Note pursuant to the instructions from the Holder thereof.

 

(h)                                Cancellation and/or Adjustment of Global Notes. At such time as all beneficial interests in a particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or cancelled in whole and not in part, each such Global Note shall be returned to or retained and cancelled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 of the Indenture. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note shall be reduced accordingly and an endorsement may be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note,

SECTION 2.13             CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 

(a)                                 If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, unless the Company and Tyco have exercised their option to redeem the Notes, they shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase, at the Holder’s election, all or any part (equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company and Tyco shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s or Tyco’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, a notice shall be mailed to Holders of the Notes describing in reasonable detail the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(b)                                In order to accept the Change of Control Offer, the Holder must deliver (or otherwise comply with alternative instructions in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary) to the paying agent, at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, its Note together with the form entitled “Election Form” (which form is annexed hereto as Exhibit D) duly completed, or a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth:

 

(i)                                    the name of the Holder of such Note;

 

(ii)                                the principal amount of such Note;

 

(iii)                             the principal amount of such Note to be repurchased;

 

(iv)                             the certificate number or a description of the tenor and terms of such Note;

 

(v)                                a statement that the Holder is accepting the Change of Control Offer; and

 

14



 

(vi)                             a guarantee that such Note, together with the form entitled “Election Form” duly completed, will be received by the paying agent at least five Business Days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.

 

(c)                                 Any exercise by a Holder of its election to accept the Change of Control Offer shall be irrevocable. The Change of Control Offer may be accepted for less than the entire principal amount of a Note, but in that event the principal amount of such Note remaining outstanding after repurchase must equal an integral multiple of $1,000.

 

(d)                                On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company and Tyco shall, to the extent lawful:

 

(i)                                    accept for payment all Notes or portions of such Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

 

(ii)                                deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

 

(iii)                             deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.

 

(e)                                 The Company and Tyco shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by them and the third party purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company and Tyco shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

(f)                                   The Company and Tyco shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 2.13, the Company and Tyco shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations under this Section 2.13 by virtue of any compliance with such laws or regulations.

in any resales by any holder of Exchange Securities that is a broker-dealer and (y) to keep such Exchange Registration Statement effective for a period (the “Resale Period”) beginning when Exchange Securities are first issued in the Subsequent Exchange Offer and ending upon the earlier of the expiration of the 180th day after the Subsequent Exchange Offer has been completed or such time as such broker-dealers no longer own any Registrable Securities. With respect to such Exchange Registration Statement, each such holder shall have the benefit of the rights of indemnification and contribution set forth in Sections 6(a), (c), (d) and (e) hereof.

 

(b)               If (i) on or prior to the time the Subsequent Exchange Offer is completed existing Commission interpretations are changed such that the debt securities or the related guarantee received by holders other than Restricted Holders in the Subsequent Exchange Offer for Registrable Securities are not or would not be, upon receipt, transferable by each such holder without restriction under the Securities Act, (ii) the Subsequent Exchange Offer has not been completed within 290 days following the Closing Date or (iii) the Subsequent Exchange Offer is not available to any holder of the Securities, the Company shall, in lieu of (or, in the case of clause (iii), in addition to) conducting the Subsequent Exchange Offer contemplated by Section 2(a), file under the Securities Act as soon as practicable, but no later than the later of 60 days after the time such obligation to file arises, a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale on a continuous or delayed basis by the holders of, all of the Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission (such filing, the “Shelf Registration” and such registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”).

The Company and the Guarantor, jointly and severally, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the holders of Registrable Securities included in an Exchange Registration Statement and each of the Electing Holders of Registrable Securities included in a Shelf Registration Statement against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such holder may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Exchange Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such holder or Electing Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (“Issuer Information”) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse such holder or such Electing Holder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Guarantor shall be liable to any such person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such person expressly for use therein.

 

15



 

(b)                                 Indemnification by the Holders. The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from the Electing Holder of such Registrable Securities, to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantor, and all other holders of Registrable Securities, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company, the Guarantor or such other holders of Registrable Securities may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to any such Electing Holder, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Electing Holder expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company and the Guarantor for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company and the Guarantor in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that no such Electing Holder shall be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 6(b) for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds to be received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration.

 

(c)                                  Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of written notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by this Section 6, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under the indemnification provisions of or contemplated by Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, such indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

16



 

(d)                                 Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provisions contemplated by Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) are unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such indemnifying party or by such indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 6(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6(d), no holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) exceeds the amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The holders’ obligations in this Section 6(d) to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered by them and not joint.

 

(e)                                  The obligations of the Company and the Guarantor under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or the Guarantor may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer, director and partner of each holder and each person, if any, who controls any holder within the meaning of the Securities Act; and the obligations of the holders contemplated by this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective holder may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company or the Guarantor (including any person who, with his consent, is named in any registration statement as about to become a director of the Company or the Guarantor) and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 

7.                                       Rule 144.

 

The Company covenants to the holders of Registrable Securities that to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act (including the reports under Section 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c)(1) of Rule 144 adopted by the Commission under the Securities Act) and

 

17



 

the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar or successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities in connection with that holder’s sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

 

8.                                       Miscellaneous.

 

(a)                                  No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that it has not granted, and shall not grant, registration rights with respect to Registrable Securities or any other securities which would be inconsistent with the terms contained in this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder and that the Purchasers and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Purchasers and such holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Company under this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction.

 

(c)                                  Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered by hand, if delivered personally or by courier, or three days after being deposited in the mail (registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) as follows: If to the Company, to it at 17, Boulevard de la Grande Duchesse Charlotte, L-1331 Luxembourg, Attention: Treasurer, and if to a holder, to the address of such holder set forth in the security register or other records of the Company, or to such other address as the Company or any such holder may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notices of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

 

(d)                                 Parties in Interest. All the terms and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and the holders from time to time of the Registrable Securities and the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto and such holders. In the event that any transferee of any holder of Registrable Securities shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by gift, bequest, purchase, operation of law or otherwise, such transferee shall, without any further writing or action of any kind, be deemed a beneficiary hereof for all purposes and such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall be entitled to receive the benefits of, and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by, all of the applicable terms and provisions of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement. If the Company shall so request, any such successor, assignee or transferee shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the applicable terms hereof.

 

(e)                                  Survival. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and each other provision set forth in this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement or made

 

18



 

pursuant hereto shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation (or statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any holder of Registrable Securities, any director, officer or partner of such holder, or any controlling person of any of the foregoing, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registered Exchange Offer and the transfer and registration of Registrable Securities by such holder and the consummation of the Subsequent Exchange Offer.

 

(f)                                    Governing Law. This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

This Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument duly executed by the Company and the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities at the time outstanding. Each holder of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any amendment or waiver effected pursuant to this Section 8(h), whether or not any notice, writing or marking indicating such amendment or waiver appears on such Registrable Securities or is delivered to such holder.

 

(i)                                     Inspection. For so long as this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement shall be in effect, this Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement and a complete list of the names and addresses of all the holders of Registrable Securities shall be made available for inspection and copying on any business day by any holder of Registrable Securities for proper purposes only (which shall include any purpose related to the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities under the Securities, the Indenture and this Agreement) at the offices of the Company at the address thereof set forth in Section 8(c) above and at the office of the Trustee under the Indenture.
