TERMS OF SERIES OF SECURITIES
2.1 The additional provisions set forth below shall apply to, and govern the terms of, the Senior Notes and shall not apply to any other series of Securities.
2.2 Pursuant to Sections 2.01 and 3.01 of the Indenture, there is hereby established a series of Securities, the terms of which shall be as follows:
(a) Designation. The Securities of this series shall be known and designated as the “4.400% Senior Notes due 2022” of the Company (the “Senior Notes”).
(b) Aggregate Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture and this First Supplemental Indenture is unlimited. $275,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes are to be issued on the date of this First Supplemental Indenture. The Company may, from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Holders of the Senior Notes, issue additional Senior Notes. Any such additional Senior Notes so issued shall have the same form and terms as the Senior Notes issued on the date of this First Supplemental Indenture (other than the date of issuance, public offering price and, under certain circumstances, the date from which interest thereon will begin to accrue and/or the CUSIP number), and will carry the same right to receive accrued and unpaid interest, as the Senior Notes issued on the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, and such additional Senior Notes will form a single series with the Senior Notes issued on the date of this First Supplemental Indenture for all purposes under the Indenture, including for voting purposes. All references to the Senior Notes herein shall include any such additional Senior Notes unless the context otherwise requires.
6
(c) Denominations. The Senior Notes shall be issued only in registered form without coupons, and the authorized denominations of the Senior Notes shall be $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(d) Maturity Date. The date on which the principal of the Senior Notes is due and payable, unless earlier accelerated or repurchased pursuant to the Indenture, shall be November 15, 2022.
(e) Rate of Interest.
(i) The Senior Notes shall bear interest on their principal amount from and including the date they are initially issued to but excluding the date on which the principal amount is paid or made available for payment at the annual rate of 4.400% (the “Original Interest Rate”) subject to adjustment as set forth below, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2013 (each such date an “Interest Payment Date”).
(ii) The interest rate payable on the Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P (or, in either case if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency (as defined below)) downgrades or subsequently upgrades the credit rating assigned to the Senior Notes, as set forth below. If the rating from Moody’s (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) of the Senior Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Senior Notes increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
| Rating |
Percentage | |||
| Ba1 |
0.25 | % | ||
| Ba2 |
0.50 | % | ||
| Ba3 |
0.75 | % | ||
| B1 or below |
1.00 | % | ||
If the rating from S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) of the Senior Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on the Senior Notes will increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
| Rating |
Percentage | |||
| BB+ |
0.25 | % | ||
| BB |
0.50 | % | ||
| BB- |
0.75 | % | ||
| B+ or below |
1.00 | % | ||
(iii) If at any time the interest rate on the Senior Notes has been adjusted upward and either Moody’s or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency), as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of the Senior Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on the Senior Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Senior Notes equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages set forth opposite the
7
ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. If Moody’s (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) subsequently increases its rating of the Senior Notes to Baa3 or higher and S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) increases its rating to BBB- or higher (or, in either case if applicable, the equivalent rating of any Substitute Rating Agency) the interest rate on the Senior Notes will be decreased to the Original Interest Rate.
(iv) Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Moody’s or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for the Senior Notes be reduced to below Original Interest Rate or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Senior Notes exceed 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate. If either Moody’s or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) ceases to provide a rating of the Senior Notes and a Substitute Rating Agency is not obtained as provided below, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Senior Notes necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of the Senior Notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) ceasing to provide a rating. If none of Moody’s, S&P or any Substitute Rating Agency provides a rating of the Senior Notes, the interest rate on the Senior Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate.
(v) If at any time either Moody’s or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) ceases to provide a rating of the Senior Notes for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the Company may, at the Company’s option, obtain a rating of the Senior Notes from another nationally recognized statistical rating organization, to the extent one exists, and if another nationally recognized statistical rating organization rates the Senior Notes (such organization, as certified by the Company in writing to the Trustee, a “Substitute Rating Agency”), for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate the Senior Notes pursuant to the table above (a) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last such rating agency to provide a rating of the Senior Notes but which has since ceased to provide such rating until such time, if any, as such rating agency resumes providing a rating of the Senior Notes, (b) the relative ratings scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the table above with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Moody’s, S&P or any prior Substitute Rating Agency (if applicable), as the case may be, in such table and for any other purpose described in this section and (c) the interest rate on the Senior Notes will increase, decrease or remain unchanged, as the case may be, as described above to reflect any change in the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (b) above) compared to the prior percentage, if any, corresponding to the rating agency for which the Substitute Rating Agency has been substituted. If Moody’s or S&P either ceases to provide a rating of the Senior Notes for reasons within the Company’s control, the Company will not be entitled to obtain a rating from a Substitute Rating Agency and the increase or decrease in the interest rate of the Senior Notes shall be determined in the manner described above as if either only one or no rating agency provides a rating of the Senior Notes, as the case may be.
8
(vi) Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect on the next Business Day after the rating change has occurred. If any Rating Agency decreases or increases its rating of the Senior Notes resulting in an adjustment to the per annum interest rate on the Senior Notes pursuant to this Section 2.2(e), the Company shall notify the Trustee of such rating decrease or increase and interest rate adjustment and the date such interest rate is effective no later than the earlier to occur of (a) the Business Day prior to the next Interest Payment Date following public announcement of such rating decrease or increase by such Rating Agency and (b) the fifth Business Day following public announcement of such rating decrease or increase by such Rating Agency, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not be a Default or an Event of Default under the Indenture. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon such notice and shall have no obligation to monitor the rating assigned to the Senior Notes by any Rating Agency or for setting the interest rate on the Senior Notes.
(vii) The interest rate on the Senior Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both of Moody’s and S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) if the Senior Notes become rated Baa1 and BBB+ or higher by Moody’s and S&P, respectively (or, in either case if applicable, the equivalent rating of any Substitute Rating Agency) (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency), with a stable or positive outlook by each of such rating agencies.
(f) To Whom Interest Payable. Interest on any Senior Note shall be payable to the Person in whose name such Senior Note is registered in the Register at the close of business on the applicable Record Date, which shall be the May 1 or November 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day) until the relevant principal amount of such Senior Note has been paid or made available for payment.
(g) Optional Redemption. The Senior Notes are subject to redemption at the option of the Company, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, prior to August 15, 2022 at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed; and (B) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments on the Senior Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 45 basis points; plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date. The Senior Notes are subject to redemption, at the option of the Company, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, on or after August 15, 2022 at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but not including, the Redemption Date.
With respect to any Senior Notes redeemed pursuant to this Section 2.2(g), installments of interest on the Senior Notes due and payable on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date shall be payable to the registered Holders of such Senior Notes at the close of business on the relevant Record Date.
9
If the Senior Notes are to be redeemed only in part, the principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Notes after redemption in part must be $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. If the Senior Notes are to be redeemed only in part, selection of the Senior Notes for redemption shall be made by the Trustee on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. The notice of redemption that relates to any Senior Note that is redeemed in part only shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
(h) Sinking Fund. The Senior Notes shall not be subject to any sinking fund or similar provisions pursuant to Article V of the Indenture or otherwise.
(i) Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. Provision is hereby made for both Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance of the Senior Notes, in each case, upon the terms and conditions contained in Article XII of the Indenture, provided that, in addition, as a condition to Discharge or Covenant Defeasance, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Senior Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such Discharge or Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Discharge or Covenant Defeasance had not occurred. In the case of a Discharge, such Opinion of Counsel must refer to or be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of this First Supplemental Indenture.
(j) Conversion. The Senior Notes shall not be convertible into any other securities or other property.
(k) Form. The Senior Notes shall be substantially in the form of Annex A attached hereto, with such modifications thereto as may be approved by the authorized officer executing the same.
(l) Global Securities; Depositary. Upon initial issuance, the Senior Notes shall be represented by one or more Global Securities. Each Global Security shall represent such aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes as shall be specified therein and the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Senior Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges or purchases of such Senior Notes. Initially, the Depositary for the Senior Notes will be The Depositary Trust Company, and the Global Securities representing the Senior Notes will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, Cede & Co., and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or a custodian appointed by the Depositary for crediting to the accounts of its participants. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in any such Global Security shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Indenture and the rules and procedures of the Depositary to the extent applicable to such transfer or exchange.

4.400% Senior Notes due 2022
Xxxxx Lang LaSalle Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”, including any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of Dollars [(or such other principal amount as shall be set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Security attached hereto)]3 on November 15, 2022 and to pay interest thereon from November 9, 2012 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on May 15, 2013, at the rate of 4.400% per annum (the “Original Interest Rate”), until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment, provided that the interest rate payable on this Security will be subject to adjustment from time to time if either Xxxxx’x or S&P (or, in either case if applicable, any Substitute Rating Agency) downgrades or subsequently upgrades the credit rating assigned to this Security, as set forth below. If the rating from Xxxxx’x (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) of this Security is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on this Security increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
| Rating |

0.25 | % | ||
| Ba2 |
0.50 | % | ||

0.75 | % | ||

1.00 | % | ||
If the rating from S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) of this Security is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the interest rate on this Security will increase from the Original Interest Rate by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
| Rating |

| 3 | Include if this Security is a Global Security. |
If at any time the interest rate on this Security has been adjusted upward and either Xxxxx’x or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency), as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of this Security to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the interest rate on this Security will be decreased such that the interest rate for this Security equals the Original Interest Rate plus the percentages set forth opposite the ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. If Xxxxx’x (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) subsequently increases its rating of this Security to Baa3 or higher and S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) increases its rating to BBB- or higher (or, in either case if applicable, the equivalent rating of any Substitute Rating Agency) the interest rate on this Security will be decreased to the Original Interest Rate.
Each adjustment required by any decrease or increase in a rating set forth above, whether occasioned by the action of Xxxxx’x or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency), shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate for this Security be reduced to below Original Interest Rate or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on this Security exceed 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate. If either Xxxxx’x or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) ceases to provide a rating of this Security and a Substitute Rating Agency is not obtained as provided below, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of this Security necessitated by a reduction or increase in the rating by the agency continuing to provide the rating shall be twice the percentage set forth in the applicable table above. No adjustments in the interest rate of this Security shall be made solely as a result of either Xxxxx’x or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) ceasing to provide a rating. If none of Xxxxx’x, S&P or any Substitute Rating Agency provides a rating of this Security, the interest rate on this Security will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the Original Interest Rate.
If at any time either Xxxxx’x or S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) ceases to provide a rating of this Security for reasons outside of the Company’s control, the Company may, at the Company’s option, obtain a rating of this Security from another nationally recognized statistical rating organization, to the extent one exists, and if another nationally recognized statistical rating organization rates this Security (such organization, as certified by the Company in writing to the Trustee, a “Substitute Rating Agency”), for purposes of determining any increase or decrease in the interest rate this Security pursuant to the table above (a) such Substitute Rating Agency will be substituted for the last such rating agency to provide a rating of this Security but which has since ceased to provide such rating until such time, if any, as such rating agency resumes providing a rating of this Security, (b) the relative ratings scale used by such Substitute Rating Agency to assign ratings to senior unsecured debt will be determined in good faith by an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by the Company and, for purposes of determining the applicable ratings included in the table above with respect to such Substitute Rating Agency, such ratings shall be deemed to be the equivalent ratings used by Xxxxx’x, S&P or any prior Substitute Rating Agency (if applicable), as the case may be, in such table and for any other purpose described in this section and (c) the interest rate on this Security will increase, decrease or remain unchanged, as the case may be, as described
above to reflect any change in the appropriate percentage, if any, set forth opposite the rating from such Substitute Rating Agency in the applicable table above (taking into account the provisions of clause (b) above) compared to the prior percentage, if any, corresponding to the rating agency for which the Substitute Rating Agency has been substituted. If Xxxxx’x or S&P either ceases to provide a rating of this Security for reasons within the Company’s control, the Company will not be entitled to obtain a rating from a Substitute Rating Agency and the increase or decrease in the interest rate of this Security shall be determined in the manner described above as if either only one or no rating agency provides a rating of this Security, as the case may be.
Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect on the next Business Day after the rating change has occurred.
The interest rate on this Security will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment described above notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both of Xxxxx’x and S&P (or any applicable Substitute Rating Agency) if this Security become rated Baa1 and BBB+ or higher by Xxxxx’x and S&P, respectively (or, in either case if applicable, the equivalent rating of any Substitute Rating Agency) (or one of these ratings if only rated by one rating agency), with a stable or positive outlook by each of such rating agencies.
Interest on this Security that is payable and is punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered in the Register at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest, which shall be the May 1 or November 1, as the case may be, immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date (whether or not a Business Day). Any Defaulted Interest shall be paid as provided in the Indenture.
Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made at the Corporate Trust Office or at any other office or agency maintained by the Company for that purpose, in U.S. Dollars; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Register or (ii) in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee, by wire transfer to an account designated by the Holder.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereof has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the Indenture.
