In determining this rate, the Company will assume a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. | ||
| “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States |
| Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having an actual or interpolated maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Securities to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Securities. | ||
| “Independent Investment Banker” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. or J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., or their respective successors as may be appointed from time to time by the Company; provided, however, that if either of the foregoing ceases to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in New York City (a “primary treasury dealer”), the Company will substitute another primary treasury dealer. | ||

| “Reference Treasury Dealer” means Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and two other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company, and each of their respective successors and any other primary treasury dealers selected by the Company. | ||
Purchase of Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event: | Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Securities, the Company will be required to make an offer to each holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (in integral multiples of $1,000) of that holder’s Securities at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase. | |
| Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each securityholder, with a copy to the Trustee, stating: | ||
| (1) that a Change of Control has occurred or is about to occur and that such holder has the right to require the Company to purchase such holder’s Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof on the date of purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest on the relevant interest payment date); | ||
| (2) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control Repurchase Event or, if the Change of Control is about to occur, the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control; | ||
| (3) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 calendar days nor later than 60 calendar days from the date such notice is mailed); | ||
| (4) the instructions, as determined by the Company, that a holder must follow in order to have its Securities purchased; and | ||
| (5) that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the specified purchase date, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control. | ||
| On the repurchase date following a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Company will, to the extent lawful: | ||
| (1) accept for payment all the Securities or portions of the Securities properly tendered pursuant to its offer; | ||
| (2) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all the Securities or portions of the Securities properly tendered; and | ||
| (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Securities being purchased by the Company. | ||
| The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each holder of Securities properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered. | ||
| Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event with respect to a particular series of Securities, if, with respect to such series of Securities, 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 such third party purchases all Securities of such series properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. | ||
| The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e)(1) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities as a result of Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the Securities, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Re purchase Event provisions of the Securities by virtue of such conflict. | ||
| “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following: (1) the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) other than the Company or one of its subsidiaries; (2) the adoption of a plan relating to the Company’s liquidation or dissolution; (3) the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as defined above) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the then outstanding number of shares of Voting Stock of the Company; or (4) the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company are not Continuing Directors. | ||
| “Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Ratings Event. | ||
| “Continuing Directors” means, as of any date of determination, any member of the board of directors of the Company who (1) was a member of such board of directors on the date of the issuance of the Securities; or (2) was nominated for election or elected to such board of directors with the approval of a majority of the continuing directors who were members of such board of directors at the time of such nomination or election. | ||
| “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor Rating Categories of S&P); and the equivalent Investment Grade credit rating from any additional Rating Agency or Rating Agencies selected by the Company. | ||
| “Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or S&P ceases to rate the Securities or fails to make a rating of the Securities publicly available for reasons outside of the control of the Company, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” within the meaning of Rule 15c3-l(e)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the board of directors of the Company) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the |
| case may be. | ||
| “Ratings Event” means the occurrence of the events described in (a) or (b) below on, or within 90 days after the earlier of, (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities is under publicly announced consideration for a possible downgrade by any of the Rating Agencies): (a) in the event the Securities are rated by both Moody’s Investors Service Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (“S&P”) on the Rating Date as Investment Grade, the rating of the Securities shall be reduced so that the Securities are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies, or (b) in the event the Securities (1) are rated Investment Grade by one Rating Agency and below Investment Grade by the other Rating Agency, the rating of the Securities by either Rating Agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories, as well as between Rating Categories) so that the Securities are then rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies or (2) are rated below Investment Grade by both Rating Agencies on the Rating Date, the rating of the Securities by either Rating Agency shall be decreased by one or more gradations (including gradations within Rating Categories, as well as between Rating Categories). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Ratings Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Ratings Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Ratings Event). | ||
| “Rating Date” means the date which is 90 days prior to the earlier of (i) a Change of Control or (ii) public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control or of the intention by the Company to effect a Change of Control. | ||
| “Rating Category” means (i) with respect to S&P, any of |
| the following categories: BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); (ii) with respect to Moody’s, any of the following categories: Baa, Ba, B, Caa, Ca, C and D (or equivalent successor categories); and (iii) the equivalent of any such category of S&P or Moody’s used by another Rating Agency. In determining whether the rating of the Securities has decreased by one or more gradations, gradations within Rating Categories (+ and — for S&P; 1, 2 and 3 for Moody’s; or the equivalent gradations for another Rating Agency) shall be taken into account (e.g., with respect to S&P, a decline in a rating from BB+ to BB, as well as from BB- to B+, will constitute a decrease of one gradation). | ||
| “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. | ||
Certain Covenants: | In addition to the covenants described in Article 10 of the Indenture, while the 2012 Notes and the 2017 Notes are Outstanding, the Company shall be bound by the following covenants: | |
| A.Limitation on Liens | ||

| The foregoing restriction does not apply to: | ||
| (1) Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness existing with respect to any person at the time such person becomes a subsidiary of the Company or a subsidiary of |
| any subsidiary of the Company, provided that such Lien was not incurred in anticipation of such person becoming a subsidiary; | ||
| (2) Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness existing at the time of acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or a subsidiary of any subsidiary of the Company of such property, shares of stock or indebtedness (which may include property previously leased by the Company or any of its subsidiaries and leasehold interests on such property, provided that the lease terminates prior to or upon the acquisition) or Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price of such property, shares of stock or indebtedness, or Liens on property, shares of stock or indebtedness to secure any indebtedness for borrowed money incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 18 months after, the latest of the acquisition of such property, shares of stock or indebtedness or, in the case of property, the completion of construction, the completion of improvements or the commencement of substantial commercial operation of such property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price of the property and related costs and expenses, the construction or the making of the improvements; | ||

| (6) Liens created in connection with a project financed with, and created to secure, a Non-recourse Obligation; | ||
| (7) Liens created to secure the Securities; | ||
| (8) Liens imposed by law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanic’s Liens and other similar Liens, in each case for sums not yet overdue by more than |

| (9) Liens for taxes, assessments or other governmental charges not yet due or payable or subject to penalties for non-payment or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; | ||

| (11) any extensions, renewals or replacements of any Lien referred to in clauses (1) through (10) without increase of the principal of the indebtedness secured by such Lien (except to the extent of any fees or other costs associated with any such extension, renewal or replacement); provided, however, that any Liens permitted by any of clauses (1) through (10) shall not extend to or cover any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as the case may be, other than the property specified in such clauses and improvements to such property. | ||
| Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries will be permitted to incur indebtedness secured by Liens which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions without equally and ratably securing the Securities, provided that, after giving effect to such indebtedness, the aggregate amount of all indebtedness secured by Liens (not including Liens permitted under clauses (1) through (11) above), together with all Attributable Debt outstanding pursuant to the second paragraph of the “Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions” covenant described below, does not exceed 20% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company calculated as of the date of the creation or incurrence of the Lien. The Company and its subsidiaries also may, without equally and ratably securing the Securities, create or incur Liens that extend, renew, substitute or replace (including successive extensions, renewals, substitutions or replacements), in whole or in |
| part, any Lien permitted pursuant to the preceding sentence. | ||
| B.Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions | ||

| (5) the Company applies an amount equal to the net proceeds from the sale of such property to the purchase of other property or assets used or useful in its business or to the retirement of long-term indebtedness within 365 days before or after the effective date of any such sale and leaseback transaction, provided that, in lieu of applying such amount to the retirement of long-term indebtedness, the Company may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation, such Securities to be credited at the cost thereof to it. | ||
| Notwithstanding the restrictions set forth in the preceding paragraph, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries may enter into any sale and leaseback transaction which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions, if after giving effect thereto the aggregate amount of all Attributable Debt with respect to such transactions, together with all indebtedness outstanding pursuant to the third paragraph of the “Limitation on Liens” covenant described above, does not exceed 20% of the Consolidated Net Tangible Assets of the Company calculated as of the closing date of the sale and leaseback transaction. |
Additional Definitions: | “Attributable Debt” means, with respect to any sale and leaseback transaction, at the time of determination, the lesser of (1) the sale price of the property so leased multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction and the denominator of which is the base term of such lease, and (2) the total obligation (discounted to the present value at the implicit interest factor, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), included in the rental payments) of the lessee for rental payments (other than amounts required to be paid on account of property taxes as well as maintenance, repairs, insurance, water rates and other items which do not constitute payments for property rights) during the remaining portion of the base term of the lease included in such transaction. | |

| “guarantee” means any obligation, contingent or otherwise, of any person directly or indirectly guaranteeing any indebtedness of any other person and any obligation, direct or indirect, contingent or otherwise, of such person (1) to purchase or pay (or advance or supply funds for the purchase or payment of) such indebtedness of such other person (whether arising by virtue of partnership arrangements, or by agreement to keep well, to purchase assets, goods, securities or services, to take or pay or to maintain financial statement conditions or otherwise) or (2) entered into for purposes of assuring in any other manner the obligee of such indebtedness of the payment thereof or to protect such obligee against loss in respect thereof (in whole or in part); provided, however, that the term “guarantee” will not include endorsements for collection or deposit in the ordinary course of business.
