fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s subsidiaries, upon notice to the Trustee, may act as Paying Agent. The initial Paying Agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon in New York.
The Company will also maintain one registrar (the “Registrar”) with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The Company, upon written notice to the Trustee accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, may appoint one or more registrars, other than the Trustee, for the Notes. If we fail to appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s subsidiaries, upon notice to the Trustee, may act as Registrar. The initial Registrar will be The Bank of New York Mellon in New York.
The Company will also maintain a transfer agent with an office in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Each transfer agent shall perform the functions of a transfer agent. The Company, upon written notice to the Trustee accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, may appoint one or more transfer agents, other than the Trustee, for the Notes. If we fail to appoint or maintain another entity as transfer agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company, the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s subsidiaries, upon notice to the Trustee, may act as transfer agent. The initial transfer agent will be The Bank of New York Mellon in New York.
The Registrar will maintain a register reflecting ownership of Notes outstanding from time to time and the Paying Agent will make payments on and facilitate transfer of Notes on the behalf of the Company.
The Company may change any Paying Agents, Registrars or transfer agents without prior notice to the holders of Notes.
Further Issuances
The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or consent of the registered holders of its Notes, increase the principal amount of such Notes that may be issued under the Indenture and issue such increased principal amount (or any portion thereof), in which case any such additional Notes so issued will have the same form and terms (other than the date of issuance and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Notes previously issued, and such additional Notes will form a single series with the previously issued Notes, including for purposes of voting and redemptions; provided, however, that a separate CUSIP or ISIN would be issued for the additional Notes, unless the Notes and the additional Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such additional Notes will also be guaranteed by the Guarantor (with the same ranking as the Guarantee for the Notes).
Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
We will issue the Notes in registered, global form (each, a “global Note”), without coupons, in minimum denominations of U.S.$2,000 and integral multiples of U.S.$1,000 in excess thereof, that will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC. The global Notes will be registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s nominee.
Beneficial interests in the Global Notes will be represented through book-entry accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct or indirect participants in DTC.
Investors may elect to hold their interests in the global Notes in DTC (in the United States) through its direct and indirect participants, including Clearstream or Euroclear. Investors may hold their interests in the global Notes directly if they are participants of such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in these systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold interests on behalf of their participants through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective U.S. depositaries, which in turn will hold these interests in customers’ securities accounts in the depositaries’ names on the books
