Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange (a) The Borrower shall cause to be kept a register (the “Exchange Note Register”) in which, subject to reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Borrower shall provide for the registration of Exchange Notes and the registration of transfers of Exchange Notes. The Administrative Agent initially shall be the “Exchange Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Exchange Notes and transfers of Exchange Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Exchange Note Registrar. If a Person other than the Administrative Agent is appointed by the Borrower as Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the appointment of such Exchange Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Exchange Note Register, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to inspect the Exchange Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof at its own expense, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Exchange Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Exchange Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Exchange Notes.
(b) The Exchange Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable securities laws and will not be listed on any exchange. An Exchange Noteholder may only offer, sell or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, an Exchange Note pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all other applicable securities laws. Transfers of the Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the related Exchange Note Supplement. The Exchange Notes shall bear the following legend: “THIS EXCHANGE NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES THAT SUCH EXCHANGE NOTE IS BEING ACQUIRED NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED ONLY TO A QUALIFIED PURCHASER PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE AND ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT SUCH HOLDER OR SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS AWARE THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF SUCH EXCHANGE NOTES FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO ABOVE. NO RESALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF ANY EXCHANGE NOTE SHALL BE MADE TO ANY TRANSFEREE UNLESS: (A) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT, AND WILL NOT ACQUIRE THE EXCHANGE NOTE ON BEHALF OR WITH THE ASSETS OF, AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF ERISA ANY OTHER “PLAN” THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” PURSUANT TO 29 C.F.R. SECTION 2510.3-101 OR A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN WHICH IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW”) OR (B) ITS ACQUISITION, HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTE (OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN) WILL NOT CONSTITUTE OR RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR, IN THE CASE OF A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN, A VIOLATION OF ANY SIMILAR LAW. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS EXCHANGE NOTE OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN EXCEPT TO A PURCHASER WHO CAN MAKE THE ABOVE REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASING. THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR AND THE BORROWER RESERVE THE RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION AS THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR OR THE BORROWER MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROPOSED SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”
(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Exchange Note, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Exchange Noteholder, Exchange Notes may be exchanged for other Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Exchange Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Exchange Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, the Exchange Notes which the Exchange Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Exchange Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Credit and Security Agreement and the related Exchange Note Supplement, as the Exchange Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Exchange Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by, the Exchange Noteholder thereof or such Exchange Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Exchange Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. No service charge shall be made to an Exchange Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes, but the Borrower may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes. The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be required to make and the Exchange Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Exchange Notes selected for redemption or of any Exchange Note for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Exchange Note.
