(c) Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on March 15, 2020.
(d) Interest Rate.
(i) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 5.125% per annum, subject to Section 2.02(d)(ii); the date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be March 4, 2013, or the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for; the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes shall be March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning September 15, 2013; the interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date, will be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be March 1 or September 1, as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the respective Holders on such Regular Record Date, and such defaulted interest, may be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Securities Administrator, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 15 days prior to such special record date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of principal and interest on this Note will be made by wire transfer, as directed by the Holder, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Depositary or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, and to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Physical Security; provided that (1) in the case of a Physical Security, the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Securities Administrator on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Security, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities or at the office of any other Paying Agent on or prior to such maturity.
9
(ii) The interest rate payable on the Notes will be subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody’s or S&P downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes, in the manner described below.
If the rating from Moody’s of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and the interest rate on the Notes will increase from the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance 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 of the Notes is decreased to a rating set forth in the immediately following table, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and the interest rate on the Notes will increase from the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance by the percentage set forth opposite that rating:
BB+ |
0.25 | % | ||
BB |
0.50 | % | ||
BB- |
0.75 | % | ||
B+ or below |
1.00 | % |
If at any time the interest rate on the Notes has been adjusted upward and either Moody’s or S&P, as the case may be, subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to any of the threshold ratings set forth above, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and the interest rate on the Notes will be decreased such that the interest rate for the Notes equals the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance plus the percentages set forth opposite the applicable ratings from the tables above in effect immediately following the increase. If Moody’s subsequently increases its rating of the Notes to Baa3 or higher, and S&P increases its rating to BBB- or higher, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator and the interest rate on the Notes will be decreased to the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance. In addition, the interest rate on the Notes will permanently cease to be subject to any adjustment
10
described above (notwithstanding any subsequent decrease in the ratings by either or both Rating Agencies) and the Company shall give notice thereof to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator if the Notes become rated A3 and A- or higher by Moody’s and S&P, respectively (or one of these ratings if the Notes are only rated by one Rating Agency).
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, shall be made independent of any and all other adjustments. In no event shall (1) the interest rate payable for the Notes be reduced to a rate below the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance or (2) the total increase in the interest rate on the Notes exceed 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance.
If either Moody’s or S&P ceases to provide a rating of the Notes, any subsequent increase or decrease in the interest rate of the 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 Notes shall be made solely as a result of either Moody’s or S&P ceasing to provide a rating. If both Moody’s and S&P cease to provide a rating of the Notes, the interest rate on the Notes will increase to, or remain at, as the case may be, 2.00% above the interest rate payable on the Notes on the date of their issuance.
Any interest rate increase or decrease described above will take effect from the first day of the interest period during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Administrator (in any of its capacities) shall have any duty or obligation of any nature whatsoever to monitor the ratings of the Notes or to monitor if either Moody’s or S&P is then rating the Notes. The Company shall provide the Trustee and the Securities Administrator notice of any change in the ratings of the Notes and in the agencies rating them and shall be solely responsible for calculating (and providing written notice of such calculation to the Trustee and the Securities Administrator) any change in the interest rate at which interest accrues on the Securities.
If the interest rate payable on the Notes is increased as described in this Section 2.02(d)(ii), then the term “interest”, as used in this First Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture and the Notes will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.
(e) Currency. The currency of denomination of the Notes is United States Dollars. Payment of principal of and interest and premium, if any, on the Notes will be made in United States Dollars.
11
Section 2.03. Optional Redemption.
(a) The provisions of Article 11 of the Indenture shall apply to the Notes.
(b) At any time and from time to time, the Notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the Company’s option, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each Holder of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the Principal Amount of the Notes to be redeemed, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal thereon (exclusive of interest accrued and unpaid to, but not including, the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date for the Notes.
(c) On and after the Redemption Date for the Notes, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or any portion thereof called for redemption, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the redemption price. On or before the Redemption Date for the Notes, the Company will deposit with the Securities Administrator in its capacity as the Paying Agent or the Trustee, funds sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Notes to be redeemed on such date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed will be selected by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate; provided however, such method shall be in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not listed but are in global form, then by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary or, if the Securities are not listed and not in global form on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate; provided further that no Notes of a Principal Amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.
(d) Notice of any redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each holder of the Notes to be redeemed provided however that if the Securities Administrator is asked to give such notice it shall be notified in writing of such request at least 15 days prior to the date of the giving of such notice. Once notice of redemption is mailed, the Notes called for redemption will become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date.
(e) In relation to the actions and duties of the Trustee in connection with redemptions, including under Section 2.03(c) hereof, the Trustee appoints the Securities Administrator in its capacity as Paying Agent to carry out those duties and actions.
12
Section 2.04. Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control.
(a) If a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs with respect to the Notes, unless the Company shall have exercised its option to redeem the Notes as described in Section 2.03 of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company shall be required to make an offer (the “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of the Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in this Section 2.04 and in the Notes. 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 Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased up 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 the public announcement of the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to Holders of the Notes describing the transaction that constitutes or may constitute the Change of Control Triggering Event and offering to repurchase the 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, if the notice is mailed prior to the Change of Control, no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date on which the Change of Control Triggering Event occurs (the “Change of Control Payment Date”). The notice shall, if mailed 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:
(i) accept for payment all Notes or portions of 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 Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and
(iii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee or the Paying Agent the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes or portions of Notes being repurchased.
The Company shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as possible after the date of purchase.
(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 time and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and the third party
13
repurchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer. In addition, the Company shall not repurchase any Notes if there has occurred and is continuing on the Change of Control Payment Date an Event of Default under the Indenture, other than an Event of Default arising as a result of a default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.
(d) If Holders of not less than 95% in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event and the Company, or any third party making an offer to repurchase the Notes upon a Change of Control Triggering Event in lieu of the Company, as described in this Section 2.04, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Company shall have the right, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Payment Date, to redeem all of the Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price in cash equal to 101% of the Principal Amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Redemption Date.
(e) The Company shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations there under to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 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 Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Offer provisions of the Notes by virtue of any such conflict.

Lexmark International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of $400,000,000, or such other Principal Amount as may be set forth in the records of the Securities
A-1
Administrator (hereinafter referred to) in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, on March 15, 2020 (the “Maturity Date”) (except to the extent redeemed or repaid prior to the Maturity Date) and to pay interest thereon from March 4, 2013 (the “Original Issue Date”) or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for semi-annually at the rate of 5.125% per annum, on March 15 and September 15 (each such date, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 15, 2013, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.02(d)(ii) of the First Supplemental Indenture (as defined herein), the interest rate payable on the Notes (as defined herein) will be subject to adjustment from time to time, on the terms set forth in the Indenture, if either Moody’s or S&P downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating assigned to the Notes. If the interest rate payable on this Note is increased in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Indenture, then the term interest, as used in this Note and the Indenture, will be deemed to include any such additional interest unless the context otherwise requires.
Payment of Interest. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or made available for payment, on any Interest Payment Date, will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid, in immediately available funds, to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on March 1 or September 1 (whether or not a Business Day, as defined in the Indenture), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date (the “Regular Record Date”). Any such interest not punctually paid or duly provided for (“Defaulted Interest”) will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Securities Administrator, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Notes not less than 15 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.
Place of Payment. Payment of principal and interest on this Note will be made by wire transfer, as directed by the Holder, in immediately available funds to a Dollar account maintained by the Depositary or its nominee with respect to a Global Note, and to the Holder or its nominee with respect to a Physical Security; provided that (1) in the case of a Physical Security, the Holder thereof shall have provided written wiring instructions to the Securities Administrator on or before the related Record Date and (2) if appropriate instructions for any such wire transfer are not received by the related Record Date, then such payment shall be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank mailed to the address of the Holder
A-2
specified in the Register. Upon final payment due on the Maturity of a Security, the Holder thereof shall present and surrender such Security at the Corporate Trust Office of the Securities or at the office of any other Paying Agent on or prior to such maturity.
Time of Payment. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or any date fixed for redemption or repayment of the Notes shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Indenture or this Note), payment of principal or interest, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date or the date so fixed for redemption or repayment, and no interest shall accrue in respect of the delay.
General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company, issued and to be issued in one or more series under an indenture (the “Base Indenture”), dated as of March 4, 2013, between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to a series of which this Note is a part), as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of March 4, 2013, among the Company, the Trustee and the Securities Administrator (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities there under of the Company, the Trustee, the Securities Administrator and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Note is one of a duly authorized series of Securities designated as 5.125% Senior Notes due March 15, 2013 (collectively, the “Notes”), initially limited in aggregate Principal Amount to $400,000,000.
Further Issuance. The Company may from time to time, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, issue additional Securities (the “Additional Securities”) of this series having the same ranking and the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the Notes. Any Additional Securities of this series and the Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the Notes shall include the Additional Securities unless the context otherwise requires.
Events of Default. If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
Sinking Fund. The Notes are not subject to any sinking fund.
A-3
Optional Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior notice, on any date prior to their Maturity at a redemption price, calculated pursuant to the Indenture, which includes accrued interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the Redemption Date. In accordance with the Indenture, in the case of any partial redemption, selection of the Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, provided, however, such method shall be in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not listed but are in global form, then by lot or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary or, if the Securities are not listed and not in global form on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate; provided further that no Notes of a Principal Amount of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part.
If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such Note shall state the portion of the Principal Amount thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in Principal Amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of this Note.
Repurchase upon a Change of Control Triggering Event. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event with respect to the Notes, the Company shall be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes on the terms set forth in the Indenture.
Full Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire indebtedness of the Company on this Note and (b) certain restrictive covenants and the related Defaults and Events of Default, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein, which provisions apply to this Note.
Modification and Waivers; Obligations of the Company Absolute. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities. Such amendment may be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes affected thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all outstanding Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. Furthermore, provisions in the Indenture permit the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Securities to waive on behalf of all of the Holders of Securities
A-4
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon the Holder of this Note and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Note at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
Limitation on Suits. As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy there under, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request, and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, to the Trustee to institute such proceedings as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on this Note on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
Authorized Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.
Registration of Transfer or Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer, at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein set forth, the Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of different authorized denominations, as requested by the Holders surrendering the same.
