Redemption

SECTION 3.01. Notices to Trustee of Special Redemption. If the Company elects to redeem Notes pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Notes, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, the redemption price and the paragraph of the Notes pursuant to which the redemption will occur.

The Company shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at least 45 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a shorter period. Such notice shall be accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions herein.

SECTION 3.02. Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed. If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Registrar shall select the Notes to be redeemed using any method that it deems fair and appropriate. However, if the Notes are solely registered in the name of Cede & Co. and traded through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, then DTC shall select the Notes to be redeemed in accordance with its practices. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Notes that have denominations larger than $2,000. Notes and portions of them the Trustee selects shall be in principal amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess of $2,000. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Notes or portions of Notes to be redeemed.

SECTION 3.03. Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Notes, or at such time as is required by Section 3.08 in respect of any Special Redemption of the Notes, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address.

The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:

(1) the redemption date;

(2) the redemption price;

(3) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, plus accrued interest;

(5) if fewer than all the outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the certificate numbers and principal amounts of the particular Notes to be redeemed;

(6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;

(7) the “CUSIP” number, ISIN or “Common Code” number, if any, printed on the Notes being redeemed; and

(8) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the “CUSIP” number, ISIN, or “Common Code” number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.

At the Company’s request, delivered at least 15 days before the date such notice is to be given to the Holder (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee or required by Section 3.08), the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense. In such event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by this Section.

SECTION 3.04. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Notes shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the related interest payment date), and such Notes shall be canceled by the Trustee. Failure to give notice or any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the notice to any other Holder.

 

38


SECTION 3.05. Deposit of Redemption Price. Prior to the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust) money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption which have been delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 3.06. Notes Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

SECTION 3.07. Optional Redemption.

(a) The Company, at its option, may redeem all, or from time to time, any part of the Notes on not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days notice as provided in paragraph 5 of the Notes (except that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.03 of this Indenture, any notice of redemption for the Notes given pursuant to this Section need not set forth the Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof) at a redemption price (“Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of the following amounts:

(1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to be so redeemed; and

(2) the sum of the present values of the principal amount and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the Notes to be redeemed (not including any portion of payments of interest accrued as of the applicable redemption date), discounted to the applicable redemption date in accordance with customary market practice on a semi-annual basis at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate plus 0.50%,

(b) plus, in each of the above cases (a)(1) and (a)(2), accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the applicable redemption date.

(c) The Redemption Price for the Notes will be calculated by the Independent Investment Banker assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(d) For purposes of calculating the Redemption Price pursuant to the foregoing optional redemption provisions, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the U.S. Treasury security or securities selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary market practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes.

 

39


Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date:

(i) the bid-side price for the Comparable Treasury Issue as of the third Business Day preceding the redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release (or any successor release) published by The Wall Street Journal in the table entitled “Treasury Bonds, Notes, and Bills,” as determined by the Independent Investment Banker, or

(ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain such prices on such Business Day:

(x) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations;

(y) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received; or

(z) if only one Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation is received, such quotation.

Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.

Reference Treasury Dealer” means each of four primary U.S. Government securities dealers in New York City (each a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), consisting of (i) J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (or its affiliate), (ii) Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (or its affiliate), (iii) UBS Securities LLC and (iv) one other nationally recognized investment banking firm (or its affiliate) that is selected by the Company in connection with the particular redemption, and their respective successors, provided that if any of them ceases to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the Company will substitute another nationally recognized investment banking firm (or its affiliate) that is a Primary Treasury Dealer.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding that redemption date.

Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third Business Day preceding the applicable redemption date, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for that redemption date.

 

40


Unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the applicable redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or portions of the Notes called for redemption.

If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business, on such record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders whose Notes are subject to redemption by the Company.

SECTION 3.08. Special Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the Refinancing Transactions are not consummated on or prior to October 30, 2008, (ii) if, at any time, the Company determines, in its sole judgment, that the Refinancing Transactions will not be consummated by October 29, 2008 or (iii) upon the occurrence of an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default, in the due performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Indenture, the Company shall redeem (the “Special Redemption”) all of the outstanding Notes on the Special Redemption Date at the Special Redemption Price. At the Company’s direction, the Trustee shall deliver to each Holder a written notice prepared by the Company (specifying the information specified in Section 3.03) of the Special Redemption one Business Day prior to the Special Redemption Date.
