Senior Subordinated Notes (a) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Holding and Acquiror will take all actions as may be necessary to (i) repurchase the aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the "Notes") that are tendered to the Company on the terms set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and such other customary terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and (ii) obtain the consent of holders of such principal amount of the Notes outstanding required pursuant to terms of the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 26, 1998 between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, National Association, as Trustee (the "Indenture"), to amend the terms of the Indenture in the manner set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), together the "Debt Offer"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to take any action that could obligate the Company to repurchase any Notes or incur any additional obligations to the holders of Notes prior to the Effective Time.
(b) The Company shall waive any of the conditions to the Debt Offer and make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer as reasonably requested by the Acquiror, and the Company shall not, without Acquiror's prior consent, waive any material condition to the Debt Offer, make any changes to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule or make any other material changes in the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Acquiror shall not request that the Company make any change to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer which decreases the price per Note payable in the Debt Offer, changes the form of consideration payable in the Debt Offer (other than by adding consideration) or imposes conditions to the Debt Offer in addition to those set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule which are materially adverse to holders of the Notes (it being agreed that a request by Acquiror that the Company waive any condition in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to any holder of Notes), unless such change was previously approved in writing by the Special Committee or a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.
(c) Promptly following the date of this Agreement, Holding, Acquiror and the Company shall prepare an offer to purchase the Notes (or portions thereof) and forms of the related letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") (collectively, the "Offer to Purchase") and summary advertisement, as well as other information and exhibits (collectively, the "Offer Documents"). Holding, Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Offer Documents. All mailings to the holders of Notes in connection with the Debt Offer shall be subject to the prior review, comment and reasonable approval of Acquiror. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 , the Company shall, promptly after request of Acquiror (but in no event earlier than twenty calendar days after the date hereof), commence the Debt Offer and cause the Offer Documents to be mailed to the holders of the Notes as promptly as practicable following execution of this Agreement. The Company, Holding and Acquiror agree promptly to correct any information in the Offer Documents that shall be or have become false or misleading in any material respect.
(d) In connection with the Debt Offer, if requested by Acquiror, the Company shall promptly furnish Acquiror with security position listings, any non-objecting beneficial owner lists and any available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the beneficial owners and/or record holders of Notes, each as of a recent date, and shall promptly furnish Acquiror with such additional information (including but not limited to updated lists of Noteholders, mailing labels, security position listings and non-objecting beneficial owners lists) and such other assistance as Acquiror or its agents may reasonably require in communicating the Debt Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Notes.
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 and Issuance of the Units Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Subscriber hereby agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to sell to the Subscriber, on the Closing Date (as defined below) the Units in consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below). On the Closing Date, the Company shall, at its option, deliver to the Subscriber the certificates representing the Securities purchased or effect such delivery in book-entry form.
Modification of Indenture with Consent of Holders of Debt Securities The first paragraph of Section 9.02 of the Original Indenture is hereby amended and restated in its entirety, but only in relation to the Notes, as follows: “Without notice to any Holder but with the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of each series affected by such supplemental Indenture (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for any such series of Debt Securities), the Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA as in force at the date of execution thereof) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Debt Securities of such series; provided, with respect to amending the Indenture as to matters that require the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities of each series that would be affected by such amendment, the Notes and any Additional Notes shall vote together as a single class with any future series of the Partnership’s senior Debt Securities (unless otherwise provided in the prospectus relating to such future series of senior Debt Securities) and any other series of the Partnership’s senior Debt Securities then Outstanding which are entitled by their terms to vote on the amendment in question; provided further, that no such supplemental Indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Debt Security so affected, shall: reduce the percentage in principal amount of Debt Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment; reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debt Security; reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debt Security; reduce any premium payable upon the redemption of any Debt Security or change the time at which any Debt Security may or shall be redeemed in accordance with Article III; make any Debt Security payable in currency other than the Dollar; impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of premium, if any, principal of and interest on such Holder’s Debt Securities on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Debt Securities; release any security that may have been granted in respect of the Debt Securities, other than in accordance with this Indenture; make any change in Section 6.06 or this Section 9.02; or, except as provided in Section 11.02(b) or Section 14.04, release the Subsidiary Guarantors other than as provided in this Indenture or modify the Guarantee in any manner adverse to the Holders.”
Securityholders Authorize Trustee to Effectuate Subordination of Securities Each Holder of Securities by its acceptance of them authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of Securities, the subordination provided in this Article Ten, and appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for such purposes, including, in the event of any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of credits or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business and assets of the Company, the filing of a claim for the unpaid balance of its Securities and accrued interest in the form required in those proceedings. If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of the Senior Debt or their Representative are or is hereby authorized to have the right to file and are or is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of said Securities. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
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.
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.
