No consideration has been, or is to be, given, directly or indirectly, to any person in connection with the transaction, except for the customary payments to be made in respect of preparation, printing, and mailing of the Offer to Exchange and related documents and the engagements of The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.

INDENTURE SECURITIES

8. Analysis of Indenture Provisions

The New Notes will be issued under the Indenture to be dated as of the consummation of the Exchange Offer and entered into between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The following analysis is not a complete description of the Indenture provisions discussed and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Indenture, a form of which is attached as Exhibit T3C hereto and incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used below but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

(a) Events of Default; Withholding of Notice

Each of the following will constitute an event of default under the Indenture:

(1) the Company’s failure to pay when due the principal of any of the New Notes at maturity, upon redemption or exercise of a repurchase right or otherwise;

(2) the Company’s failure to pay an installment of interest (including additional amounts, if any) on any of the New Notes for 30 days after the date when due;

(3) the Company’s failure to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement contained in the New Notes or the Indenture for a period of 60 days after written notice of such failure, requiring us to remedy the same, shall have been given to it by the trustee or to it and the trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding;

 

4


(4) a default under any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of which is in an amount in excess of $5.0 million, for a period of 30 days after written notice to it by the trustee or to it and the trustee by holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding, which default:

 

   

is caused by a failure to pay principal or interest when due on such indebtedness by the end of the applicable grace period, if any, unless such indebtedness is discharged; or

 

   

results in the acceleration of such indebtedness, unless such acceleration is waived, cured, rescinded, annulled or such indebtedness is discharged; and

(5) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that is a significant subsidiary.

The Indenture will provide that the trustee will, within 90 days of the occurrence of a default, give to the registered holders of the New Notes notice of all uncured defaults or events of default known to it, but the trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if it, in good faith, determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of such registered holders, except in the case of a default or event of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on, any of the New Notes when due or in the payment of any redemption or repurchase obligation.

If an event of default specified in clause (5) above occurs and is continuing with respect to the Company, then the principal of all the New Notes and the interest thereon shall automatically become immediately due and payable. If an event of default shall occur and be continuing, other than with respect to clause (5) above with respect to the Company (the default not having been cured or waived), the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding may declare the New Notes due and payable at their principal amount together with accrued interest, and thereupon the trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the holders of New Notes by appropriate judicial proceedings. Such declaration may be rescinded or annulled with the written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding if all events of default (other than the nonpayment of amounts due solely as a result of such acceleration) have been cured or waived.

The Indenture will contain a provision entitling the trustee, subject to the duty of the trustee during default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the holders of notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the Indenture at the request of such holders. The Indenture provides that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the New Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee.

The Company will be required to furnish annually to the trustee a statement as to the fulfillment of its obligations under the Indenture.

(b) Authentication and Delivery of New Notes; Use of Proceeds

The New Notes to be issued under the Indenture may be executed by manual or facsimile signature on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board, the Vice Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any Executive Vice President, any Senior Vice President, the Treasurer, the Controller, or the Secretary or any Assistant Treasurer or Assistant Secretary of the Company (individually, an “Officer”), and delivered to the Trustee.

The Trustee will authenticate and make available for delivery New Notes for original issue, upon a written order or orders of the Company signed by two Officers of the Company. Such order of the Company must specify the amount of New Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the original issue of New Notes is to be authenticated.

 

5


The New Notes will not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the New Notes. The signature will be conclusive evidence that the New Notes have been authenticated under the Indenture.

There will be no proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes because the New Notes are being issued in exchange for the Old Notes.

(c) Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the Indenture

The New Notes are unsecured obligations of the Company. As such, the new Notes are not secured by any lien on any property.

(d) Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture

The obligations under the New Notes and the Indenture may be satisfied by (i) payment on the stated maturity date, any applicable redemption date or change of control purchase date, as the case may be, or (ii) conversion.

(1) Redemption at the Option of the Company.

The New Notes are not redeemable by the Company prior to July 15, 2008. The New Notes are redeemable for cash at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, on or after July 15, 2008 upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail for a redemption price equal to the principal amount of those Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional amounts, if any, up to the redemption date; provided, that the current market value for the common stock equals or exceeds $8.50 for at least 20 trading days in any consecutive 30 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the date of the mailing of the redemption notice by the Company.

(2) Purchase By the Company at the Option of the Holder.

At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to offer to purchase the New Notes held by such holder within 30 days after the occurrence of a change of control of the Company for a change of control purchase price equal to the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional amounts, if any, of such New Notes on the change of control purchase date. The change of control purchase price shall be paid in cash. If cash sufficient to pay the change of control purchase price of all New Notes or portions thereof to be purchased as of the change of control purchase date, is deposited with the paying agent, on the business day following the change of control purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on such New Notes (or portions thereof) immediately after such change of control purchase date, and the holder thereof shall have no other rights as such other than the right to receive the change of control purchase price upon surrender of such New Notes.

(3) Conversion.

Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, a holder of the New Notes is entitled, at such holder’s option, to convert the holder’s New Notes (or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple $1,000), into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at the conversion price in effect at the time of conversion. The initial conversion price is $6.656, subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture.

To surrender a New Note for conversion, a holder must (1) complete and manually sign the conversion notice and deliver such notice to the conversion agent, (2) surrender the New Notes to the conversion agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required by the Indenture. No fractional shares of common stock shall be issued upon conversion of any New Notes. Instead of any fractional share of common stock that would otherwise be issued upon conversion of such New Notes, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment as provided in the Indenture.

 

6


(e) Evidence Required to be Furnished by the Company to the Trustee as to Compliance with the Conditions and Covenants Provided for in the Indenture

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, an officers’ certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided thereunder) and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.

9. Other Obligors

None.
