Additional Notes; Repurchases The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the issue price and interest accrued prior to the issue date of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided that if any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08 and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their repurchase.
Initial Notes On the Issue Date, there will be originally issued four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000) aggregate principal amount of Notes, subject to the provisions of this Indenture (including Section 2.02). Notes issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(A), and any Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof, are referred to in this Indenture as the “Initial Notes.”
Additional Notes (a) The Issuer may, from time to time, subject to compliance with any other applicable provisions of this Indenture, without the consent of the Holders, create and issue pursuant to this Indenture additional notes (“Additional Notes”) that shall have terms and conditions identical to those of the other Outstanding Notes, except with respect to:
(i) the Issue Date;
(ii) the amount of interest payable on the first Interest Payment Date therefor;
(iii) the issue price; and
(iv) any adjustments necessary in order to conform to and ensure compliance with the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws) and any agreement applicable to such Additional Notes, which are not adverse in any material respect to the Holder of any Outstanding Notes (other than such Additional Notes). The Notes issued on the Issue Date and any Additional Notes shall be treated as a single series for all purposes under this Indenture; provided, that the Issuer may use different CUSIP or other similar numbers among Issue Date Notes and among Additional Notes to the extent required to comply with securities or tax law requirements, including to permit delegending pursuant to Section 2.9(h).
(b) With respect to any Additional Notes, the Issuer will set forth in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer (the “Additional Note Certificate”), copies of which will be delivered to the Trustee, the following information:
(i) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture;
(ii) the Issue Date and the issue price of such Additional Notes; provided, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have “original issue discount” within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, unless such Additional Notes have a separate CUSIP or other similar number from other Notes; and
(iii) whether such Additional Notes will be subject to transfer restrictions under the Securities Act (or other applicable securities laws).
General Notes The following General Notes apply without exception to this Agreement, including to Annexes 1 through 6.
Special Notes The Seller’s warranty replacement and aftermarket service parts will be made available through Authorized Wholesalers, Distributors, certain OEM and National Accounts or from Seller directly depending on the market place. Only the Seller’s certified parts are to be used for in-warranty replacement of defective parts supplied on the Seller’s products. All warranty parts are shipped either freight collect or pre-paid and charged via the most economical means as determined by the Seller. The Seller reserves the right to furnish refurbished parts for service replacements. The Seller reserves the right to replace defective part(s) on an assembly rather than replacing the complete assembly. The Seller reserves the right to inspect all parts removed and or replaced in the course of effecting repairs that will be invoiced to the Seller under the terms and conditions of the warranty policy. This inspection time and location is at the discretion of Seller. All in-warranty parts that are defective and not required to be returned to the Seller MUST NOT be scrapped until a warranty credit is issued. Special circumstances may dictate that a certain item must be returned to the Seller for analysis. Care must be taken to avoid premature disposal of any part(s) prior to authorization or issuance of a credit note.
Additional Issuances of Notes Subject to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) of Section 2.02 and Section 2.03 of the Indenture Supplement, the Issuer may issue additional Class A(2017-5) Notes, so long as the following conditions precedent are satisfied:
(a) the Issuer shall have given the Indenture Trustee written notice of such issuance of additional Class A(2017-5) Notes (the “Notice of Additional Issuance”) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the Issuance Date thereof, which notice shall include:
(i) the Issuance Date of such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes;
(ii) the amount of such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes being offered and the resulting Initial Dollar Principal Amount and Stated Principal Amount of Class A(2017-5) Notes;
(iii) the date from which interest on such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes will accrue (which may be a date prior to the date of issuance thereof);
(iv) the first Interest Payment Date on which interest will be paid on such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes; and
(v) any other terms that the Issuer set forth in such notice of issuance of additional Class A(2017-5) Notes to clarify the rights of Holders of such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes or the effect of such issuance of additional Class A(2017-5) Notes on any calculations to be made with respect to the Class A(2017-5) Notes, the Class A Notes or the Issuer. All such terms shall be incorporated into and form a part of this Terms Document on and after the effective date of such Class A(2017-5) Notes;
(b) no Class A(2017-5) Adverse Event has occurred and is continuing; and
(c) either (i) the issuance of such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes would be treated as part of the same issue as the outstanding Class A(2017-5) Notes under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1275-1(f)(1) or 1.1275-2(k) or (ii) such additional Class A(2017-5) Notes are not issued with “original issue discount” for purposes of Section 1273 of the Code. The Issuer shall not have to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 310 of the Indenture in connection with an issuance of additional Class A(2017-5) Notes so long as such conditions were satisfied or waived in connection with the initial issuance of Class A(2017-5) Notes; provided, however, that the Issuer shall have to deliver to the Indenture Trustee a Master Trust Tax Opinion and an Issuer Tax Opinion with respect to such issuance.
Purchase of Notes By Principal Life Principal Life may purchase some or all of the Notes in the open market or otherwise at any time, and from time to time. Simultaneously, upon such purchase, (1) the purchased Notes shall, by their terms become mandatorily redeemable by the Trust as specified in the related Pricing Supplement, Prospectus Supplement and/or Prospectus and (2) the Fund under this Agreement shall be permanently reduced by the same percentage as the principal amount of the Notes so redeemed bears to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued and outstanding immediately prior to such redemption and (ii) the principal amount of the Trust Beneficial Interest related to such Notes. If Principal Life, in its sole discretion, engages in such open market or other purchases, then the Trust, the Indenture Trustee in respect of such Notes, and Principal Life shall take actions (including, in the case of Principal Life, making the payment(s) necessary to effect the Trust’s redemption of such Notes) as may be necessary or desirable to effect the cancellation of such Notes by the Trust.
Additional Notices (a) For so long as the Investor Certificates shall be outstanding, the Seller agrees to provide Fitch with the notice provided to each Rating Agency in subsection 2.06(c)(i) and agrees to provide to Fitch and Standard and Poor's the Opinion of Counsel provided to Moody's pursuant to subsection 2.06(c)(vi), in each case in the times and the manner provided for in such subsections.
