Exchange of Book Entry Notes for Definitive Notes. (a) The Notes will initially be issued as Book-Entry Notes. Interests in a Book-Entry Note may be exchanged for Definitive Notes only if such exchange is permitted by applicable law and (i) in the case of a DTC Note, DTC notifies the Global Agent that it is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depositary with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and in each case the Issuer is unable to locate a successor within 90 calendar days of receiving notice of such ineligibility on the part of DTC, (ii) in the case of any Common Depository Note, if all of the systems through which it is cleared or settled are closed for business for a continuous period of 14 calendar days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or are permanently closed for business or have announced an intention to permanently cease business and in each such situation the Issuer is unable to locate a single successor within 90 calendar days of such closure, or (iii) an Event of Default occurs under the Debt Agreement and a majority of the Holders of DTC Notes advise the Global Agent and DTC through the Financial Intermediaries in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC is no longer in the best interests of such Holders. A Person having an interest in a DTC Note or Common Depository Note issued in global form shall provide the Issuer or the Global Agent with a written order containing instructions and such other information as the Issuer or the Global Agent may require to complete, execute and deliver such Definitive Notes in authorized denominations. In such circumstances, the Issuer shall cause sufficient Definitive Notes to be executed and delivered as soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days of the Issuer receiving notice of the occurrence of such circumstances) to the Global Agent or its agent for completion, authentication and delivery to the relevant registered Holders of such Definitive Notes. The Issuer shall, from time to time, deliver to the Global Agent adequate supplies of Definitive Note certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, executed by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer. The Global Agent shall acknowledge receipt of any Definitive Notes received from the Issuer and shall hold the Definitive Notes in safekeeping for the Issuer.
