Section 3. First Rights Offering.
3.1 The First Rights Offering.
(a) Subject to Section 3.4 hereof, as soon as reasonably practicable
after the consummation of the Exchange Offer, the Company will consummate the
First Rights Offering. In connection therewith, the Company shall, as soon as
reasonably practicable, prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement
(including each amendment and supplement thereto, the "FIRST RIGHTS OFFERING
REGISTRATION STATEMENT") on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available to
the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to
effect a registration of securities), covering the issuance of the First Rights,
if required, and the First Rights Shares. The Company will not permit any
securities other than the First Rights, if required, and the First Rights Shares
to be included in the First Rights Offering Registration Statement. The First
Rights Offering Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement
thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) will be
provided to the Investor and its counsel, and Fidelity and its counsel, prior to
its filing with or other submission to the SEC. The First Rights Offering
Registration Statement will comply in all material respects with the provisions
of applicable federal securities laws. The Company promptly will correct any
information included in the First Rights Offering Registration Statement if, and
to the extent that, such information becomes false or misleading in any material
respect, and the Company will take all steps necessary to cause the First Rights
Offering Registration Statement, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and,
upon its effectiveness, to be disseminated to the distributees of the First
Rights, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal
securities laws. The Investor and its counsel, and Fidelity and its counsel,
will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the First
Rights Offering Registration Statement in each instance before it is filed with
the SEC. In addition, the Company will provide the Investor and its counsel, and
Fidelity and its counsel, with any written comments or other written
communications that the Company or its counsel receives from time to time from
the SEC or its staff with respect to the First Rights Offering Registration
Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments or other communications.
The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the First
Rights Offering Registration Statement to be filed pursuant to this Section 3.1
and to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible after the First
Rights Offering Registration Statement is filed with the SEC.
(b) As soon as reasonably practicable following the effective date
of the First Rights Offering Registration Statement, the Company will commence
the First Rights Offering. In the First Rights Offering, the Company will
distribute, on a pro rata basis and at no charge, non-transferable First Rights
to each holder of record of Common Stock as of the First Rights Offering Record
Date. The First Rights will entitle the holder to purchase, at the election of
the holder thereof, its pro rata number of First Rights Shares at the First
Subscription Price, which when multiplied by the aggregate number of First
Rights Shares offered shall equal the First Offering Amount.
8
(c) The First Rights Offering will remain open for at least thirty
(30) days. The First Rights shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the
day following such thirtieth (30th) day, except as such expiration date or time
may be extended by the Company or otherwise as may be required by applicable law
or NYSE listing rule.
(d) Each holder of First Rights who exercises in full its First
Basic Subscription Privilege will be entitled to subscribe for additional First
Rights Shares at the First Subscription Price to the extent that other holders
of First Rights do not exercise all of their First Rights in the First Basic
Subscription Privilege; provided that such oversubscription privilege will be
limited, in the aggregate, to those First Rights Shares underlying the First
Rights of holders other than the Investor.
(e) If the number of First Rights Shares remaining after the
exercise of all First Basic Subscription Privileges is not sufficient to satisfy
all oversubscriptions, the First Rights holders who exercised their First Basic
Subscription Privileges in full will be allocated First Rights Shares pro rata
and in proportion to the number of First Rights Shares purchased through the
First Basic Subscription Privilege. If the pro rata allocation exceeds the
number of First Rights Shares requested on the subscription certificate, then
each First Rights holder only will receive the number of First Rights Shares
requested, and the remaining First Rights Shares from such First Rights holder's
pro rata allocation will be divided among other First Rights holders exercising
their oversubscription privileges. If the pro rata allocation is less than the
number of First Rights Shares requested on the subscription certificate, then
the excess funds paid by that First Rights holder as the First Subscription
Price for the First Rights Shares not issued will be returned to such First
Rights holder without interest or deduction.
(f) The closing of the purchase of the oversubscription by each
First Rights holder will occur at the time, for the First Subscription Price, in
the manner, and on the terms and conditions of the First Rights Offering as will
be set forth in the First Rights Offering Registration Statement.
3.2 Subordination of First Basic Subscription Privilege. As set forth in
the Investor Support Agreement, the Investor agrees to, and will cause its
affiliates to, not exercise any First Rights which it, or its affiliates,
receives in the First Rights Offering.
3.3 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall, as soon as practicable following
consummation of the First Rights Offering, contribute the net cash proceeds
received in the First Rights Offering to RCPC as a capital contribution. The
Company will cause RCPC to use, as soon as practicable, any such amounts to
reduce RCPC's outstanding indebtedness, other than revolving indebtedness unless
there is a corresponding commitment reduction.
3.4 Conditions. The Company's obligation to conduct the First Rights
Offering is conditioned upon the Investor having made either (x) an Investor
Equity Contribution in cash (to the extent required hereunder), or (y) an
Investor Stock
9
Subscription, and, accordingly, the First Offering Amount exceeding $0. The
maximum aggregate First Subscription Price of First Rights Shares which may be
purchased by holders other than the Investor, and taking into account the
Investor's agreement in Section 3.2 hereof not to exercise its First Rights
(whether by First Basic Subscription Privilege, oversubscription or otherwise),
is (x)(A) the sum of the Investor Equity Contribution, if any, and the Investor
Stock Subscription, divided by (B) the Investor's Ownership Percentage on the
First Rights Offering Record Date, less (y) the sum of the Investor Equity
Contribution, if any, and the Investor Stock Subscription.
Section 4. Second Rights Offering.
4.1 The Second Rights Offering.
(a) Subject to Section 4.4 hereof, the Company will prepare and file
with the SEC a registration statement (including each amendment and supplement
thereto, the "Second Rights Offering Registration Statement") on Form S-3 (or,
if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration
statement as is then available to effect a registration of securities), covering
the issuance of the Second Rights, if required, and the Second Rights Shares.
The Company will not permit any securities other than the Second Rights, if
required, and the Second Rights Shares to be included in the Second Rights
Offering Registration Statement. The Second Rights Offering Registration
Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for
acceleration of effectiveness thereof) will be provided to the Investor and its
counsel, and Fidelity and its counsel, prior to its filing with or other
submission to the SEC. The Second Rights Offering Registration Statement will
comply in all material respects with the provisions of applicable federal
securities laws. The Company promptly will correct any information included in
the Second Rights Offering Registration Statement if, and to the extent that,
such information becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and the
Company will take all steps necessary to cause the Second Rights Offering
Registration Statement, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and, upon its
effectiveness, to be disseminated to the distributees of the Second Rights, in
each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws.
The Investor and its counsel, and Fidelity and its counsel, will be given a
reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Second Rights Offering
Registration Statement in each instance before it is filed with the SEC. In
addition, the Company will provide the Investor and its counsel, and Fidelity
and its counsel, with any written comments or other written communications that
the Company or its counsel receives from time to time from the SEC or its staff
with respect to the Second Rights Offering Registration Statement promptly after
the receipt of such comments or other communications. The Company will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Second Rights Offering Registration
Statement to be filed pursuant to this Section 4.1 and to be declared effective
by the SEC as soon as possible after the Second Rights Offering Registration
Statement is filed with the SEC.
(b) The offering price and terms of the Second Rights Offering shall
be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of the Second Rights
Offering.
10
(c) As soon as reasonably practicable following the effective date
of the Second Rights Offering Registration Statement, the Company will commence
the Second Rights Offering. In the Second Rights Offering, the Company will
distribute, on a pro rata basis and at no charge, Second Rights to each holder
of record of Common Stock as of the Second Rights Offering Record Date. The
Second Rights will entitle the holder to purchase, at the election of the holder
thereof, its pro rata number of Second Rights Shares at the Second Subscription
Price; provided, that, the Second Subscription Price multiplied by the aggregate
number of Second Rights Shares offered shall equal the Second Offering Amount.
(d) The Second Rights Offering will remain open for at least thirty
(30) days. The Second Rights shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on
the day following such thirtieth (30th) day, except as such expiration date or
time may be extended by the Company or otherwise as may be required by
applicable law or NYSE listing rule.
(e) Each holder of Second Rights who exercises in full its Second
Basic Subscription Privilege will be entitled to subscribe for additional Second
Rights Shares at the Second Subscription Price to the extent that other holders
of Second Rights do not exercise all of their Second Rights in the Second Basic
Subscription Privilege.
(f) If the number of Second Rights Shares remaining after the
exercise of all Second Basic Subscription Privileges is not sufficient to
satisfy all Second Over-subscription Privileges, the Second Rights holders who
exercised their Second Basic Subscription Privileges in full will be allocated
Second Rights Shares pro rata and in proportion to the number of Second Rights
Shares purchased through the Second Basic Subscription Privilege. If the pro
rata allocation exceeds the number of Second Rights Shares requested on the
subscription certificate, then each Second Rights holder only will receive the
number of Second Rights Shares requested, and the remaining Second Rights Shares
from such Second Rights holder's pro rata allocation will be divided among other
Second Rights holders exercising their Second Over-subscription Privileges. If
the pro rata allocation is less than the number of Second Rights Shares
requested on the subscription certificate, then the excess funds paid by that
Second Rights holder as the Second Subscription Price for the Second Rights
Shares not issued will be returned to such Second Rights holder without interest
or deduction.
(g) The closing of the purchase of the Second Over-subscription
Privilege by each Second Rights holder will occur at the time, for the Second
Subscription Price, in the manner, and on the terms and conditions of the Second
Rights Offering as will be set forth in the Second Rights Offering Registration
Statement; provided, that in no event shall the Rights Offering be consummated
after December 31, 2004.
(h) Each of the Investor and Fidelity shall be entitled (but not
obligated) to exercise any Second Basic Subscription Privilege and any Second
Over-Subscription Privilege received in the Second Rights Offering in accordance
with the
11
Second Rights Offering Registration Statement and along with all other holders
of Second Rights.
4.2 Back-stop of the Second Right Offering. Subject to Section 4.4
hereof, within three (3) Business Days following the expiration of the Second
Rights Offering, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement and the Second Rights Offering as set forth in the Second Rights
Offering Registration Statement, but in no event later than December 31, 2004,
the Investor shall, on the same terms as the Second Rights Offering, purchase
the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Second
Rights Shares that are not otherwise subscribed and paid for by the holders of
Second Rights under either their Second Basic Subscription Privilege or their
Second Over-subscription Privilege, provided; however, that such number shall
not exceed (x) the Second Offering Amount divided by (y) the Second Subscription
Price (the "SECOND STAGE BACK-STOP SHARES").
4.3 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall, as soon as practicable
