Benefits of First Supplemental Indenture Nothing in this First Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this First Supplemental Indenture.
Senior Notes (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the First Merger Effective Time, the Company shall give any notices and use its reasonable best efforts to take all other actions specifically required to be taken under the terms of the Indenture and the Senior Notes as a result of the consummation of the Transactions, which actions shall include, without limitation, the Company (or its Subsidiaries) using its reasonable best efforts to (i) give any notices that may be required in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the First Merger Effective Time, (ii) prepare any supplemental indentures required in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation thereof to be executed and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the First Merger Effective Time, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and (iii) deliver any opinions of counsel required to be delivered prior to the First Merger Effective Time and any officer’s certificates or other documents or instruments, as may be necessary to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Indenture in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that opinions of counsel required by the Indenture, as may be necessary to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Indenture in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be delivered by Parent and its counsel to the extent required to be delivered at or after the First Merger Effective Time. The foregoing notwithstanding, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to execute and deliver any document or instrument (or cause any document or instrument to be executed or delivered) (i) that would be inaccurate in light of the facts and circumstances at the time delivered or (ii) not conditioned on or delivered substantially concurrently with the occurrence of the First Merger Effective Time.
(ii) The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any notices, certificates, supplemental indentures, legal opinions, officer’s certificates or other documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with the Indenture or the Senior Notes in connection with the Mergers and the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the dispatch or making thereof, and the Company shall promptly respond to any reasonable questions from, and consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by, Parent or its counsel with respect thereto prior to the dispatch or making thereof.
(iii) If requested by Parent in writing at least seven (7) Business Days in advance of the due date for such notice under the Indenture, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by the Senior Notes and the Indenture, issue on the Closing Date (or on such earlier time as Parent may request) a notice of optional redemption for all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes pursuant to the optional redemption provisions of the Indenture (which notice of optional redemption may be, at Parent’s request and to the extent permitted by the Indenture, conditional on the consummation of the Merger or the other Transactions, including subsequent supplemental notices of optional redemption to the extend necessary to extend the redemption date set forth in the original notice to match the ultimate Closing Date) (such redemption of the Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes Redemption”); provided that in connection with the delivery of any such notice of optional redemption, the Company shall deliver and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause counsel for the Company to deliver, customary officer’s certificates and customary legal opinions, respectively, to the Trustee, to the extent such certificates and opinions are required by the terms of the Senior Notes or the Indenture; it being understood that (i) in no event shall the Company be required to prepare or commence any documentation or action for any Senior Notes Redemption that will result in such redemption being effective prior to the First Merger Effective Time or incur any cost or expense in connection with such Senior Notes Redemption unless Parent promptly reimburses the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith and (ii) any opinions of counsel required by the Indenture as may be necessary to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Indenture in connection with the Senior Notes Redemption shall be delivered by Parent and its counsel to the extent required to be delivered at or after the First Merger Effective Time.
Subordinated Notes The Subordinated Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and when executed by the Company and issued, delivered to and paid for by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered, and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
SUBORDINATION OF NOTES Section 11.01.
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.
Replacement of Notes Upon receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of each other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and each other Note Holder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Purchase of Notes as Principal (a) Subject in all respects to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust hereby agrees to sell to the Purchasing Agent and the Purchasing Agent hereby agrees to purchase the Notes having the terms specified in the Pricing Supplement relating to such Notes.
(b) In connection with any purchase of Notes from the Trust by the Purchasing Agent as principal, the parties agrees that the items specified on Schedule I of the Omnibus Instrument will be delivered as of the Settlement Date.
Convertible Notes The Convertible Notes are subject to different conversion calculations depending on the event triggering conversion as described in the Notes (e.g., an IPO or other liquidity event). For illustration purposes, assuming the optional conversion right is exercised today, based on the current capitalization and the $50,000,000 assumed valuation specified for an optional conversion in the Notes, there would be 4,705,224 additional shares issued; provided however, that each holder of Notes is subject to a maximum 9.99% ownership of the shares of capital stock of the Company at any one time. This illustration calculation does not account for the 6% interest component.
