(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the 2023 Notes of any series, unless the Company has exercised its option to redeem the 2023 Notes of such series (as described in Sections 2.3(e), 2.3(f) or 2.3(g)), the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the 2023 Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of such Holder’s 2023 Notes on the terms set forth below. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company shall be required to offer payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2023 Notes repurchased to, but not including, the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control Triggering Event or, at the option of the Company, prior to any Change of Control, but after public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail (or, to the extent permitted or required by applicable DTC procedures or regulations, send electronically) a notice to Holders of the 2023 Notes and the Trustee describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 2023 Notes on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed or sent prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Triggering Event occurring on or prior to the Change of Control Payment Date.
(b) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful:
8
(i) accept for payment all 2023 Notes or portions of 2023 Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
(ii) deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all 2023 Notes or portions of 2023 Notes properly tendered; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the 2023 Notes properly accepted together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes or portions of 2023 Notes being repurchased.
(c) The Company shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party repurchases all 2023 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer.
(d) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2023 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Triggering Event. To the extent that the provisions of any such securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Section 2.5, the Company shall comply with those securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 2.5 by virtue of any such conflict.
(e) In addition to the Events of Default specified in Section 5.1 of the Base Indenture, the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” with respect to the 2023 Notes: any default in the payment of any Change of Control Payment in respect of the 2023 Notes as when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. Such additional Event of Default is expressly included in this Supplemental Indenture for the benefit of, and shall be solely applicable to, the Securities established by this Supplemental Indenture.
