WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Trustee join with it in the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture and, in accordance with Sections 10.05, 14.07(b) and 17.05 of the Indenture, has delivered an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee and in accordance with Sections 10.05 and 17.05 of the Indenture, has delivered an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, in each case, responsive to and in compliance with the matters stated therein; and
WHEREAS, all requirements necessary to make this Supplemental Indenture a valid, binding and enforceable instrument in accordance with its terms have been done and performed, and the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture has been duly authorized in all respects;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises hereof, the parties have executed and delivered this Supplemental Indenture, and the Company and the Trustee agree for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders, as follows:
AGREEMENT
SECTION 1. Capitalized Terms.
Any capitalized term used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Indenture.
SECTION 2. Settlement upon Conversion.
In accordance with Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture, and from and after the effective time of the Merger, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the Merger would have owned or been entitled to receive upon such Merger (the “Reference Property”), which shall be cash equal to approximately $122.86 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes based on a Conversion Rate of 16.9463 and reflecting the right to receive $7.25 in cash for each share. Accordingly, any reference in respect of a Holders’ conversion rights to a share of Common Stock in the Indenture shall be deemed a reference to a right to receive a cash amount equal to $7.25 and the provisions of the Indenture, as modified herein, shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, to the holders’ right to convert the Notes into the Reference Property.
SECTION 3. Notes.
Each Note, with effect on and from the Effective Date, shall be deemed supplemented, modified and amended in such manner as necessary to make the terms of such Notes consistent with the terms of the Indenture, as amended by this Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 4. Ratification and Effect.
Except as hereby expressly amended, the Indenture and the Notes are in all respects ratified and confirmed and all the terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall be and remain in full force and effect. This Supplemental Indenture is executed and shall be construed as an indenture supplemental to the Indenture and, as provided in the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture forms a part thereof. Each reference in the Indenture to “this Indenture,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or “herein,” and each reference in the Notes to “the Indenture,” “thereunder,” “thereof,” or “therein” shall mean and be a reference to the Indenture as amended and supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture unless the context otherwise requires. Additionally, each reference in the Notes to “this Note,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” or “herein,” and each reference in the Indenture to “the Notes,” “thereunder,” “thereof,” or “therein” shall mean and be a reference to the Notes as amended and supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture unless the context otherwise requires. The Indenture as amended and supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture shall be read, taken and construed as one and the same instrument, and every Holder of the Notes heretofore or hereafter authenticated and delivered under the Indenture as supplemented by this Supplemental Indenture shall be bound thereby.
