TERMS USED ABOVE HAVE THE MEANINGS GIVEN TO THEM IN REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
SECTION 2.2 Amendment of Section 305. The following shall be appended to the end of Section 305 of the Base Indenture:
“Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the depositary of such Exempted Security, transfers of a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security, in whole or in part, or of any beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in accordance with Section 203, and this Section 305; provided, however, that a beneficial interest in a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the same Exempted Security in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the restricted legend on such Exempted Security, if any; provided, further, that during the Distribution Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may be transferred only to non-U.S. Persons (and in compliance with applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws) or qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A.
Except for transfers or exchanges made in accordance with the next three succeeding paragraphs, transfers of a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Security in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the depositary of such Security or to a successor of such depositary or such successor’s nominee.
If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security at any time wishes to exchange its interest in such Restricted Global Security for an interest in the Regulation S Global Security, or to transfer its interest in such Restricted Global Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security, such transfer or exchange may
be effected, only in accordance with this paragraph and the rules and procedures of the depositary of such Security or a participant thereof. Upon receipt by the Security Register from the U.S. Trustee of (A) instructions directing the Security Register to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Regulation S Global Security in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Restricted Global Security in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto given by the owner of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Exempted Security and (x) pursuant to and in accordance with Regulation S or (y) that the Exempted Security being transferred is being transferred in a transaction permitted by Rule 144, then the Security Register shall instruct the depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security and the depositary to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Restricted Global Security to be exchanged.
If the owner of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Security at any time wishes to transfer such interest to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Restricted Global Security, such transfer may be effected only in accordance with this paragraph and the rules and procedures of the depositary of such Security or a participant thereof. Upon receipt by the Security Register from the U.S. Trustee of (A) instructions directing the Security Register to credit or cause to be credited an interest in the Restricted Global Security in a specified principal amount and to cause to be debited an interest in the Regulation S Global Security in such specified principal amount, and (B) a certificate in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto given by the owner of such beneficial interest stating that the transfer of such interest has been made in compliance with the transfer restrictions applicable to the Security and stating that (x) the Person transferring such interest reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest is a QIB and is obtaining such interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A and any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States or (y) that the Person transferring such interest is relying on an exemption other than Rule 144A from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and, in such circumstances, such legal opinion as the Corporation or a Trustee may reasonably request to ensure that the requested transfer or exchange is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Security Register shall instruct the depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced the principal amount of the Regulation S Global Security and to increase or cause to be increased the principal amount of the Restricted Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the interest in the Regulation S Global Security to be exchanged or transferred.
In the event that a Restricted Global Security or Regulation S Global Security is exchanged for Restricted Securities or Regulation S Securities, respectively, in certificated, registered form, such Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the preceding 2 paragraphs (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Corporation and the Trustees.
Except as set forth in the second succeeding paragraph, if Exempted Securities are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Exempted Securities bearing the restricted legends set forth in Section 204 hereof, the Exempted Securities so issued shall bear the restricted legends, and a request to remove such restricted legends from Exempted Securities shall not be honored unless there is delivered to the Corporation such satisfactory evidence, which may include a legal opinion from counsel licensed to practice law in the State of New York, as may be reasonably required by the Corporation, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the U.S. Trustee, at the direction of the Corporation, shall authenticate and deliver Exempted Securities that do not bear the legend.
The Trustees shall have no responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the depositary or a participant thereof, as the case may be.
After the first anniversary of issuance of the Exempted Securities, the Corporation may provide a certificate to a Trustee certifying that the restricted legends set forth in Section 204 hereof may be removed from the Restricted Global Security because such Restricted Global Security has become freely tradable on an unconditional basis by beneficial owners that are not Affiliates of the Corporation. Upon receipt of such certificate from the Corporation by a Trustee, the restricted legends on the Restricted Global Security will be deemed removed and the restricted CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as applicable, will be substituted automatically for unrestricted CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as applicable. No new Global Security will be required. If the Corporation issues additional Securities of a series, such additional Securities will be issued under separate CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as applicable, until they become freely tradable on an unconditional basis, at which time they will be merged with the original Securities. The additional Securities will vote together with the original Securities as a single class immediately following the reopening, but they will not be fungible with the original Securities until they became freely tradable with and are merged into the CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code numbers, as applicable, for the original Securities.”
SECTION 2.3 Addition of Section 1011.
A new Section 1011 is hereby added to the Base Indenture as follows:
“SECTION 1011. Available Information; No Resale of Exempted Securities by the Corporation.
So long as any Exempted Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 and the Corporation is not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Corporation will furnish to any Holder of such Exempted Securities in definitive form or Holder of a beneficial interest in a such Exempted Security in global form, or to any prospective purchaser designated by such Holder, upon the request of such Holder, the business and financial information concerning the Corporation called for under paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A. Except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, the Corporation will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, resell any Exempted Securities that constitute “restricted securities”
under Rule 144 except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or Rule 144.”
SECTION 2.4 Insertion of Exhibits. Exhibits A and B attached hereto shall be attached to the end of the Base Indenture as Exhibits A and B, respectively.
Article Three
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SECTION 3.1 Ratification. The Base Indenture, as supplemented and amended by this Supplemental Indenture, is in all respects hereby adopted, ratified and confirmed.
SECTION 3.2 Counterparts. This Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Supplemental Indenture.
SECTION 3.3 Governing Law. This Supplemental Indenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
SECTION 3.4 Rights of Trustees. In no event shall the Trustees be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustees shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.
In no event shall the Trustees be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustees has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.
SECTION 3.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
