Offer to Purchase (a) An “Offer to Purchase” means an offer by the Company to purchase Notes as required by this Indenture. An Offer to Purchase must be made by written offer (the “offer”) sent to the Holders. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing at least 15 days (or such shorter period as is acceptable to the Trustee) prior to sending the offer to Holders of its obligation to make an Offer to Purchase, and the offer will be sent by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
No Offer to Sell Other than an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus approved in advance by the Company and the Agent in its capacity as agent hereunder, neither the Agent nor the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Agent in its capacity as such) will make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any written communication (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), required to be filed with the Commission, that constitutes an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy Placement Shares hereunder.
Change of Control Offer If a Change of Control Triggering Event (defined below) occurs, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the Securities as provided for herein, the Company shall be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each holder of the Securities to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that holder’s Securities on the terms set forth herein. In a Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities repurchased to the date of repurchase (a “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (defined below), but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to holders of the Securities a notice describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase such Securities on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date. In order to accept any Change of Control Offer, a holder shall be required to comply with instructions for tendering contained in the Company’s notice of such Change of Control Offer as well as the applicable procedures of the Depositary. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful: (i) accept for payment all Securities or portions of such Securities properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Securities or portions of such Securities properly tendered; and (iii) 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 or portions of such Securities being repurchased. On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall pay, from funds deposited by the Company for such purpose, to each holder of Securities properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Securities, and the Trustee will 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 such holder’s Securities surrendered. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if 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 the third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Securities if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act or any other securities laws or regulations thereunder that are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities conflict with the Change of Control Offer provisions hereof, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Securities by virtue of any such conflict. For purposes of the Change of Control Offer, the following have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth below:
Offer to Purchase upon Change of Control Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 3.7, the Company will make an Offer to Purchase (the “Change of Control Offer”) all of the outstanding Notes at a Purchase Price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount tendered, together with accrued interest, if any, to but not including the Purchase Date (the “Change of Control Payment”). For purposes of the foregoing, an Offer to Purchase shall be deemed to have been made if (i) within 60 days following the date of the consummation of a transaction or series of transactions that constitutes a Change of Control, the Company commences an Offer to Purchase for all outstanding Notes at the Purchase Price and (ii) all Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase are purchased on the terms of such Offer to Purchase. The Change of Control provisions described above will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of this Indenture are applicable. The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer contemporaneously with or upon a Change of Control, in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth herein applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) a notice of redemption has been given under Section 3.3. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.13 by virtue of such conflict. In addition, an Offer to Purchase may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of launching the Offer to Purchase.
Offer to Prepay Notes The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 8.7 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only, “holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”). If such Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.7, such date shall be not less than 20 days and not more than 30 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the 20th day after the date of such offer).
General Offer DPA The following shall be inserted as a new second sentence in Paragraph 1 of Exhibit E: “The provisions of the original DPA offered by Provider and accepted by Subscribing LEA pursuant to this Exhibit E shall remain in effect as between Provider and Subscribing LEA 1) for so long as the Services are being provided to Subscribing LEA, or 2) until the DPA is terminated pursuant to Section 15 of this Exhibit G, whichever comes first.”
Tender Offer (a) The Borrower will use its best efforts to consummate the Tender Offer with respect to all of the Holding Company Convertible Notes tendered thereunder no later than November 5, 2009 (or such later date to which the Tender Offer may be extended by the Borrower in good faith) (and, upon the consummation thereof, the Borrower shall promptly notify in writing the Administrative Agent of the completion of the Tender Offer Transactions). (b) As of the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall deposit the Initial Second Priority Proceeds (less the portion thereof to be used, together with the proceeds of the Tranche B Term Loans and the Tranche B-1 Term Loans, to make the payments provided for in Section 5.01(f)) directly into the Initial Second Priority Debt Proceeds Collateral Account; provided that, at any time after the Fourth Restatement Effective Date, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the funds from the Initial Second Priority Debt Proceeds Collateral Account shall be available to be withdrawn at the request of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent solely (but for no other purpose) (i) to purchase the Holding Company Convertible Notes pursuant to the consummation of the Tender Offer and (ii) if any Holding Company Convertible Notes remain outstanding after consummation of the Tender Offer, (A) to repurchase, redeem, defease, retire or acquire for value or pay the principal of any of the remaining Holding Company Convertible Notes or (B) to make payment of cash dividends or distributions to the Holding Company in an amount sufficient to enable the Holding Company to repurchase, redeem, defease, retire, acquire for value or pay the principal of any such Holding Company Convertible Notes (provided that such payments are applied directly to such repurchase, redemption, defeasance, retirement, acquisition for value or payment of principal); provided further that (A) following the expiration of the put rights of the holders of the Holding Company 3.00% Convertible Notes on May 15, 2010 and/or the holders of the Holding Company 4.875% Convertible Notes on January 15, 2011 (but excluding any other put rights thereunder), to the extent that any such holders do not exercise such put rights pursuant to the terms thereof, within 120 days after the expiration of such put rights, the Borrower shall apply the portion of the balance held in the Initial Second Priority Debt Proceeds Collateral Account that it does not require to satisfy any such remaining put rights (or, upon expiration of all such put rights, the entire remaining balance held therein) (x) so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom, to purchase, repurchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire for value any of the Other Debt and/or (y) to prepay the Tranche B Term Loans and (if any) the Incremental Loans in the order specified in Section 2.09(b)(iii); and (B) prior to any request for withdrawal of funds by the Borrower from the Initial Second Debt Priority Proceeds Collateral Account, the Borrower shall provide a certificate signed by a senior officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent certifying as to the use of such funds and that such use is permitted under this Section.
Cashless Settlement Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
Termination Settlement Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Dealer shall have the right to designate, upon at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to reasonably below the Post-Effective Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Dealer pursuant to the preceding sentence, Counterparty fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Counterparty, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Dealer has unwound its hedge (assuming that Dealer has a commercially reasonable hedge and unwinds its hedge in a commercially reasonable manner) and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Dealer in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Counterparty has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Dealer, then Dealer shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Nationalization or Merger Event, if at the time of the related Relevant Settlement Date the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the nature of the Shares as it determines appropriate to account for such change such that the nature of the Shares is consistent with what shareholders receive in such event. If Dealer designates a Termination Settlement Date as a result of an Acceleration Event caused by an excess dividend of the type described in Paragraph 7(f)(ii), no adjustments(s) shall be made to the terms of this contract to account for the amount of such excess dividend.
Cash Settlement If Cash Settlement is applicable to any Option exercised or deemed exercised hereunder, in lieu of Section 8.1 of the Equity Definitions, Dealer will pay to Counterparty, on the relevant Settlement Date for each such Option, an amount of cash (the “Cash Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum, for each Valid Day during the Settlement Averaging Period for such Option, of (i) the Daily Option Value for such Valid Day, divided by (ii) the number of Valid Days in the Settlement Averaging Period.
