ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 26, 2009, Amkor Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Amkor” or the “Company”), agreed to issue to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”) $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount (including a $10,000,000 over-allotment option granted to the Initial Purchasers) of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”). The Initial Purchasers exercised their overallotment option in full on March 31, 2009.
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, Amkor entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of March 26, 2009 (the “Voting Agreement”), with James J. Kim, Amkor’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and largest stockholder, and 915 Investments, LP, an affiliate of James J. Kim (collectively, the “Kim Purchasers”), with respect to the $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes that the Kim Purchasers agreed to purchase from the Initial Purchasers (the “Affiliate Notes”). Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, the Kim Purchasers agreed to vote all shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), issued upon conversion of the Affiliate Notes in a “neutral manner” on all matters submitted to Amkor stockholders for a vote, such that the shares subject to the Voting Agreement are required to be voted in the same proportion to all of the other outstanding securities (excluding securities beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Kim Purchasers) that are actually voted on a proposal submitted to Amkor’s stockholders for approval. The Kim Purchasers are not required to vote in a “neutral manner” any Affiliate Note shares that, when aggregated with all other voting shares held by the Kim Purchasers, represent 41.6% or less of the total then outstanding shares of Amkor common stock. A copy of the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Voting Agreement.
In addition, Amkor and the Kim Purchasers entered into a letter agreement, dated March 26, 2009 (the “Letter Agreement”), pursuant to which Amkor agreed to register the resale of the Affiliate Notes (and any shares of Common Stock issued on the conversion thereof) on a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), upon request of the Kim Purchasers at any time after April 1, 2010. Amkor will bear the expenses related to such registration, including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of James J. Kim. A copy of the Letter Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Letter Agreement.
On April 1, 2009, Amkor issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes, pursuant to an Indenture, dated April 1, 2009, entered into between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Indenture”). A copy of the Indenture, which includes the form of the Notes, is attached as Exhibits 4.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
The terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes described in Items 2.03 and 3.02 hereof are incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
ITEM 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
The information set forth in Items 1.01 and 3.02 hereof is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
On April 1, 2009, the Company entered into the Indenture relating to the issuance by the Company of $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Certain terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Notes are as follows:
          Maturity. The Notes mature on April 15, 2014.
          Interest. The Notes accrue interest of 6.00% per year. Interest on the Notes is paid semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, beginning on October 15, 2009. The interest rate is subject to increase in certain circumstances in connection with an event of default or failure to delegend or register the Notes (other than the Affiliate Notes) and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof.
          Ranking. The Notes are the senior subordinated, unsecured general, obligations of the Company. The Notes are subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future senior debt of the Company, effectively subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries, including trade payables, equal in right of

payment with all existing and future senior subordinated debt of the Company, including the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, and senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including the Company’s 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2013.
          Optional Conversion. The Notes may be converted at any time by the holder into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial conversion rate of 330.6332 shares of the Company’s Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to certain adjustments, which represents a conversion price of approximately $3.02 per share of Common Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain designated events, the Company will, for a specified period, pay a “make whole premium” under certain circumstances to holders of the Notes who convert their Notes by increasing the applicable conversion rate for the Notes surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock.
          Mandatory Repurchase. Upon the occurrence of a designated event, which includes a change of control or a termination of trading, the holders may require the Company to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the repurchase date.
          Events of Default. The following constitute events of default under the Indenture that could, subject to certain conditions, cause the unpaid principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to become due and payable:
     (a) the Company’s default in the payment of the principal of the Notes, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture;
     (b) the Company’s default in the delivery when due all Common Stock deliverable upon conversion with respect to the Notes, which failure continues for five days;
     (c) the Company’s default for 30 days in payment of any installment of interest on the Notes, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture;
     (d) the Company’s default for 60 days after notice is given in the performance of any other covenants in the Indenture;
     (e) the Company’s default in the payment required pursuant to certain designated events in respect of the Notes on the date therefor, whether or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture;
     (f) the Company’s failure to provide timely notice of any designated event;
     (g) the Company’s or any of its material subsidiaries’ failure to make any payment at maturity, including any applicable grace period, in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of, or guaranteed or assumed by, the Company or any of its materials subsidiaries, which payment is in an amount in excess of $20,000,000, and continuance of such failure for 30 days after notice is given;
     (h) the Company’s or any of its material subsidiaries’ default with respect to any indebtedness, which default results in the acceleration of any such indebtedness of an amount in excess of $20,000,000 without such indebtedness having been paid or discharged or such acceleration having been cured, waived, rescinded or annulled for 30 days after notice is given; and
     (i) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or any of its material subsidiaries.
A copy of the Indenture, which includes the form of the Notes, is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1. The foregoing descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Indenture and the Notes.
U.S. Bank National Association, the trustee under the Indenture, also serves as trustee under the indentures governing the Company’s 2.50% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011, 7.75% Senior Notes due 2013, 6.25% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2013, and 9.25% Senior Notes due 2016.

ITEM 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
As described in Items 1.01 and 2.03 hereof, which are incorporated herein by reference, the Company issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes to the Initial Purchasers on April 1, 2009 in a private placement pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The Company offered and sold the Notes to the Initial Purchasers in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The Initial Purchasers are initially offering the Notes to “qualified institutional buyers” pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to the Kim Purchasers. The Company relied on these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchasers.
The Notes and Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The Notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock as described above.
ITEM 8.01 Other Events.
On March 26, 2009, Amkor issued a press release announcing that it had priced the offering of the Notes. On April 1, 2009, Amkor issued a press release announcing that it had closed the offering of the Notes. Copies of such press releases are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this report and are incorporated by reference herein.

While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders of all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates, if the Company or such Affiliate is then acting as Paying Agent, the Trustee shall replace the Company or such Affiliate as Paying Agent.
     SECTION 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven Business Days before each Interest Payment Date, and as the Trustee may request in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt by the Company of any such request (or such lesser time as the Trustee may reasonably request in order to enable it to timely provide any notice to be provided by it hereunder), a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders.

(a) When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes for other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions specified herein and the related certificate are met. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.11, 9.05 or 12.02.

     (b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, so long as a Global Security remains outstanding and is held by or on behalf of the Depositary, transfers of a Global Security, in whole or in part, or of any beneficial interest therein, shall only be made in accordance with this Section 2.07(b), Section 2.11 and the Applicable Procedures; provided, however, that beneficial interests in a Global Security that is a Restricted Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in such Global Security in accordance with the transfer restrictions set forth in the Restricted Securities Legend.
     Except for transfers or exchanges made in accordance with paragraphs (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.07(b) and Section 2.11, transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to nominees of the Depositary or to a successor of the Depositary or such successor’s nominee.
   (i) Global Security To Definitive Security. If an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Global Security to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of a definitive registered note (such Note, a “Definitive Security”), such owner may, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and such Global Security and the Applicable Procedures, cause the exchange of such interest for one or more Definitive Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations and of the same aggregate principal amount. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (1) instructions from the Depositary directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Securities of the same aggregate principal amount as the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be exchanged (such instructions to contain the

16


 

name or names of the designated transferee or transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Definitive Securities to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions), and (2) in the case of a Restricted Note, such certifications or other information and, in the case of transfers pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, legal opinions as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar will instruct the Depositary to reduce or cause to be reduced such Global Security by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest therein to be exchanged and to debit or cause to be debited from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Global Security that is being transferred, and concurrently with such reduction and debit the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Securities of the same aggregate principal amount in accordance with the instructions referred to above.
   (ii) Definitive Security to Definitive Security. If a Holder of a Definitive Security wishes at any time to transfer such Definitive Security (or portion thereof) to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security, such Holder may, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in such Definitive Security, cause the transfer of such Definitive Security (or any portion thereof in a principal amount equal to an authorized denomination) to such transferee. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (1) such Definitive Security, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Securities of the same aggregate principal amount as the Definitive Security, or portion thereof, to be transferred (such instructions to contain the name or names of the designated transferee or transferees, the authorized denomination or denominations of the Definitive Securities to be so issued and appropriate delivery instructions), and (3) in the case of a Restricted Note or an Affiliate Note, such certifications or other information (including, in the case of a transfer of an Affiliate Note from an Affiliated Entity to another Affiliated Entity, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto) and, in the case of transfers to persons pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, legal opinions as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Registrar, shall cancel or cause to be canceled such Definitive Security and concurrently therewith, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Securities in the appropriate aggregate principal amount, in accordance with the instructions referred to above and, if only a portion of a Definitive Security is transferred as aforesaid, concurrently therewith the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the transferor a Definitive Security in a principal amount equal to the principal amount which has not been transferred. A Holder of a Definitive Security may at any time exchange such Definitive Security for one or more Definitive Securities of other authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount and registered in the same name by delivering such Definitive Security, duly endorsed as provided herein, to the Trustee together with instructions directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver one or more Definitive Securities in the same aggregate principal amount and registered in the same name as the Definitive Security to

17


 

be exchanged, and the Registrar thereupon shall cancel or caused to be canceled such Definitive Security and concurrently therewith the Company shall execute and Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Definitive Securities in the same aggregate principal amount and registered in the same name as the Definitive Security being exchanged.
   (iii) Definitive Security to Global Security. If a Holder of a Definitive Security wishes at any time to transfer such Definitive Security (or portion thereof) to a Person who is not required to take delivery thereof in the form of a Definitive Security, such Holder shall, subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein and in such Definitive Security and the rules of the Depositary cause the exchange of such Definitive Security for a beneficial interest in the Global Security. Upon receipt by the Registrar of (1) such Definitive Security, duly endorsed as provided herein, (2) instructions from such Holder directing the Trustee to increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security deposited with the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary by the same aggregate principal amount as the Definitive Security to be exchanged, such instructions to contain the name or names of a member of, or participant in, the Depositary that is designated as the transferee, the account of such member or participant and other appropriate delivery instructions, (3) the assignment form on the back of the Definitive Security completed in full, and (4) in the case of a Restricted Note or an Affiliate Note, such certifications or other information and legal opinions (which shall be required in the case of transfers of any Affiliate Note by any Affiliated Entity pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), as the Company may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, then the Trustee shall cancel or cause to be canceled such Definitive Security and concurrently therewith shall increase the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security by the same aggregate principal amount as the Definitive Security canceled; provided, that in the case of any transfer of an Affiliate Note to a Person taking delivery thereof as a beneficial interest in a Global Security, any such transfer shall be made only pursuant either (i) in a transaction complying with Rule 144 or (ii) pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement, such effectiveness to be certified by the Company to the Trustee or (iii) to Persons who agree to be bound by the restrictions applicable to such Holders for so long as such transferred securities constitutes “restricted securities.”
     (c) So long as and to the extent that the Non-Affiliate Notes are represented by one or more Global Securities held by or on behalf of the Depositary only, the Company may accomplish any delegending of such Non-Affiliate Notes represented by such Global Securities at any time on or after the Resale Restriction Delegending Date by:
     (i) providing written notice to the Trustee that the Resale Restriction Delegending Date has occurred and instructing the Trustee to remove the Restricted Securities Legend from the Notes;
     (ii) providing written notice to Holders of the Non-Affiliate Notes that the Restricted Securities Legend has been removed or deemed removed;

18


 

     (iii) providing written notice to the Trustee and the Depositary to change the CUSIP number for the Non-Affiliate Notes to the applicable unrestricted CUSIP number; and
     (iv) complying with any Applicable Procedures for delegending;
whereupon the Restricted Securities Legend shall be deemed removed from any Global Securities without further action on the part of Holders.
     On and after the Resale Restriction Delegending Date, the Company shall also (i) instruct the transfer agent for the Common Stock to remove the Restricted Stock Legend from any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes, (ii) notify the holders of any Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes (to the extent any Common Stock has been issued upon conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes) that such Restricted Stock Legend has been removed, (iii) if relevant, notify the transfer agent for the Common Stock to change the CUSIP number for the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Non-Affiliate Notes to the applicable unrestricted CUSIP number, and (iv) comply with any Applicable Procedures for delegending any Common Stock including the Restricted Stock Legend.
     (d) Transfers of Notes and Restricted Notes.
(i) Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Security) not bearing (or not required to bear upon such transfer, exchange or replacement) a Restricted Securities Legend, the Registrar shall exchange such Notes (or beneficial interests) for Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Security) not bearing a Restricted Securities Legend.
(ii) Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Security) bearing a Restricted Securities Legend at any time prior to the time the Company has provided notice of the occurrence of the Resale Restriction Delegending Date, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes (or beneficial interests in a Global Security) bearing a Restricted Securities Legend unless (i) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are transferred pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement; (ii) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are transferred pursuant to Rule 144 upon delivery to the Registrar of a certificate of the transferor in the form of Exhibit C and an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar; (iii) such Notes (or beneficial interests) are not Affiliate Notes and are transferred, replaced or exchanged after the Resale Restriction Delegending Date; or (iv) in connection with such transfer, exchange or replacement the Registrar shall have received an Opinion of Counsel, certificates and such other evidence reasonably required by and satisfactory to it to the effect that neither such Restricted Securities Legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate promptly upon effectiveness, withdrawal or suspension of any shelf registration statement that is or has previously been declared effective with respect to the Notes.

19


 

     (e) Any transfer of Restricted Notes not described above (other than a transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that does not involve an exchange of such interest for a Definitive Security or a beneficial interest in another Global Security, which must be effected in accordance with applicable law and the Applicable Procedures, but is not subject to any procedure required by this Indenture) shall be made only upon receipt by the Registrar of such Opinions of Counsel, certificates and such other evidence reasonably required by and satisfactory to it in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act, or as otherwise set forth in this Indenture.

     (g) Neither the Trustee nor any Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the case of a Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the Applicable Procedures. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its Agent Members and any beneficial owners.
     (h) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Notes (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation as is expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof. The Trustee shall have no obligations or duties to the holders of any Common Stock issued pursuant to Article XII hereof.
     SECTION 2.08. Replacement Notes. If the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company as a condition of receiving a replacement Note, such Holder shall provide a certificate of loss and an indemnity and/or an indemnity bond sufficient, in the judgment of both the Company and the Trustee, to fully protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss, liability, cost or expense which any of them may suffer or incur if the Note is replaced. The Company and the Trustee may charge the relevant Holder for their expenses in replacing any Note.

20


 

     The Trustee or any authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note, and deliver the same upon the receipt of such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. Upon the issuance of any substituted Note, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. In case any Note which has matured or is about to mature, or has been submitted for repurchase pursuant to Section 4.06 or is about to be converted into Common Stock pursuant to Article XII, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to the authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

     SECTION 2.09. Outstanding Notes. The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes properly authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by the Trustee, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section as not outstanding.
     If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it shall cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
     If Notes are considered paid under Section 4.01 or converted under Article XII, they shall cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.
     Subject to Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.
     SECTION 2.10. When Treasury Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though they are not outstanding except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded; provided, however, that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to any Affiliate Notes beneficially owned by an Affiliated Entity to the extent specified in Article VI and Article IX of this Indenture; and further provided that such proviso shall cease to apply to such Affiliate Notes at any time after their transfer to a beneficial owner that is not an Affiliated Entity (even if such Notes are subsequently reacquired by an Affiliated Person), at which time such Notes shall no longer be deemed to be Affiliate Notes, but only to the extent of the Notes so transferred.

21

     (iv) If (A) an event described in Section 2.11(b)(i)(x) occurs and Definitive Securities are not issued promptly to all beneficial owners or (B) the Registrar receives from a beneficial owner instructions to obtain Definitive Securities due to an event described in Section 2.11(b)(i)(y) and Definitive Securities are not issued promptly to any such beneficial owner, the Company expressly acknowledges, with respect to the right of any Holder to pursue a remedy pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof, the right of any beneficial owner of Notes to pursue such remedy with respect to the portion of the Global Security

     (c) Any Global Security or interest thereon that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive Securities shall, if held by the Depositary, be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Notes of authorized denominations in the form of certificated Notes in definitive form. Any portion of a Global Security transferred pursuant to this Section shall be executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.
     (d) Prior to any transfer pursuant to Section 2.11(b), the registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.
     (e) The Company will make available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of certificated Notes in definitive form without interest coupons.

The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or repurchased or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has (i) converted pursuant to Article XII hereof, or (ii) submitted for repurchase pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof (unless revoked pursuant to Section 4.06).
     SECTION 2.13. Defaulted Interest. If the Company fails to make a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay such defaulted interest plus, to the extent lawful, any interest payable on the defaulted interest. It may pay such defaulted interest, plus any such interest payable on it, to the Persons who are Holders of Notes on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix any such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before any such special record date, the Company shall mail to Holders of the Notes a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of such interest to be paid.
     SECTION 2.14. CUSIP Number. (a) The Company, in issuing the Restricted Notes and the Affiliate Notes, will use a restricted CUSIP number for such Notes until such time as the Restricted Securities Legend or Affiliate Security Legend, as the case may be, is removed pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or 2.07(d). At such time as the applicable restrictive legend is removed from such Notes pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or (d), the Company will use an unrestricted CUSIP number for such Note, but only with respect to the Notes where so removed.

23


 

     (b) The Company, upon issuing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Restricted Notes or Affiliate Notes, will use a restricted CUSIP number for such shares of Common Stock. With respect to such share of Common Stock, until such time as the applicable Restricted Stock Legend is removed pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or 2.07(d) from such share of Common Stock, as the case may be, such restricted CUSIP will be the CUSIP numbers for such share of Common Stock.

The Company shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, pay prior to delinquency all taxes, assessments and government levies; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or cause to be paid any such tax, assessment or levy (A) if the failure to do so will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse impact on the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or (B) if the amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
     SECTION 4.10. Increased Interest Rate.
     (a) If at any time during the six months to one year period following the last original issuance date of the Notes, (i) the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (other than any Current Report on Form 8-K), (ii) the Company has not cured such failure to timely file within 14 days of such failure and (iii) the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders (other than Holders who are Affiliates of the Company) as a result of restrictions pursuant to the U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes, the interest rate in respect of the Notes shall be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days of such period following such failure to file and by 0.50% per annum after the first 90 days of the period (in either case, ending on the date that is one year from the Issue Date of the Notes) for which such failure to file continues.
     (b) Unless:
     (i) the Restricted Securities Legend on the Notes (other than the Affiliate Notes) has been removed, and
     (ii) the Notes (other than the Affiliate Notes) are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without volume restrictions by Holders other than

28


 

Affiliates of the Company (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes),
as of the 365th day after the date of original issuance of the Notes, either (x) the interest rate on the Notes (other than the Affiliate Notes, unless and until such time as such Notes are transferred to a Person that is not an Affiliated Entity) will be increased by 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days of such period and by 0.50% per annum after the first 90 days of the period until the foregoing requirements are satisfied or (y) if the Company elects, the Company shall no later than the 410th day after the Issue Date (or, if at that time the Company is a “well known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, the 385th day after such date) file and maintain effective a resale registration statement relating to the Notes and the shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion thereof (the “Shelf Registration Statement”); provided that if the Company elects to file a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to clause (y) above, the interest rate on such Notes will not increase following the 365th day after the date of original issuance of the Notes but shall instead increase as provided in clause (x) if such Shelf Registration Statement has not become effective within the time period specified in such clause (y).
(c) (i) In the event the Company elects to file a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders until the earliest of (i) the date the Restricted Securities Legend has been removed from all Non-Affiliate Notes, (ii) all Non-Affiliate Notes bearing a Restricted Securities Legend have ceased to be outstanding (whether as a result of redemption, repurchase and cancellation, conversion or otherwise), (iii) all Non-Affiliate Notes registered under the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold and (iv) April 1, 2011 (the “Effectiveness Period”).
     (ii) The Company may suspend the use of any prospectus forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement, without incurring or accruing any obligation to pay additional interest pursuant to Section 4.10(b), for a period not to exceed 45 calendar days in any three-month period, or an aggregate of 90 calendar days in any twelve-month period, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall have determined in good faith that because of valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including without limitation proposed or pending corporate developments and similar events or because of filings with the Commission, it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend such use, and prior to suspending such use the Company provides the Holders with written notice of such suspension, which notice need not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such suspension. Each Holder shall keep confidential any communications received by it from the Company regarding the suspension of the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and prospectus forming a part thereof, except as required by applicable law.
     (iii) Subject to the Company’s right to suspend the use of the Shelf Registration Statement and the prospectus forming a part thereof as set forth above, in the event that (A) the Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective during the Effectiveness Period, (B) the Holders of Non-Affiliate Notes are not authorized to use the

29


 

Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof or (B) the Holders of Non-Affiliate Notes are otherwise prevented or restricted by the Company from effecting sales pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (an “Effective Failure”) for more than 45 days, whether or not consecutive, in any three-month period, or for more than 90 days, whether or not consecutive, during any twelve-month period, then the Company shall pay additional interest to Holders as set forth in the Section 4.10(b) as though no Shelf Registration Statement had been declared effective, commencing on the date of the Effective Failure to but excluding the earlier of the date such Effective Failure is cured, waived or otherwise ceases to exist and the last day of the Effectiveness Period. The payment of additional interest shall be the sole remedy of the Holders for any Effective Failure or any other failure of the Company to comply with this Section 4.10(c) and no such Effective Failure or other failure shall constitute a Default or Event of Default.
     (d) So long as a condition described in either paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.10 continues or the Company is required to pay additional interest pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 4.10, the Company shall pay such additional interest in cash on April 15 and October 15 of each year to the Person who is the Holder of record of the Notes on the immediately preceding April 1 and October 1. When such condition ceases to continue, any accrued but unpaid additional interest through the date of cessation shall be paid to the record Holder on the subsequent Interest Payment Date.
     SECTION 4.11. Additional Interest Notice. In the event that the Company is required to pay additional interest to Holders of Securities pursuant to Sections 4.10 or 6.02(b) hereof, the Company shall provide a direction or order in the form of a written notice to the Trustee (and if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent) of the Company’s obligation to pay such additional interest no later than three Business Days prior to date on which any such additional interest is scheduled to be paid. Such notice shall set forth the amount of additional interest to be paid by the Company on such payment date and direct the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is not the Paying Agent, the Paying Agent) to make payment to the extent it receives funds from the Company to do so. The Trustee shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether additional interest is payable, or with respect to the nature, extent, or calculation of the amount of additional interest owed, or with respect to the method employed in such calculation of additional interest.

     SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in clauses (i) and (j) of Section 6.01) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case (i) the Trustee, by written notice to the Company, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, or (iii) any Affiliated Entity that beneficially owns at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes (a “50% Affiliated Holder”), by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the unpaid principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration such principal amount, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Article XI hereof. If any Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in clauses (i) or (j) of Section 6.01 occurs, all unpaid principal of and and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes then outstanding shall become automatically due and payable subject to the provisions of Article XI hereof, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

33


 

     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity, by notice to the Trustee, may rescind an acceleration of the Notes initiated by (i) the Trustee or (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity, and its consequences if all existing Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or and interest, if any, on the Notes which has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration) have been cured or waived and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction. Any Affiliated Entity that beneficially owns at least 50% in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes may similarly rescind any acceleration of the Notes initiated by a 50% Affiliated Holder, and the consequences of such acceleration, if all existing Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Notes which has become due solely by virtue of such acceleration) have been cured or waived and if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.
     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article VI, if the Company breaches its obligation to file or furnish reports or other financial information pursuant to Section 314(a) of the TIA or as otherwise required under this Indenture, the Company shall be required to pay additional interest on the Notes, and the Holders will not have any immediate right under the Indenture to accelerate the maturity of the Notes as a result of any such breach. If any such breach continues for 60 days after notice thereof is given in accordance with the Indenture, the Company will pay additional interest to all Holders at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% per annum to but not including the 180th day following such notice (or such earlier date on which the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations referred to in this Section 6.02(b) shall have been cured or waived). On such 180th day, such additional interest will cease to accrue (or earlier, if the Event of Default relating to the reporting obligations referred to in this Section 6.02(b) shall have been cured or waived prior to such 180th day) and, if the Event of Default is continuing on such 180th day, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02(a). The provisions of this Section 6.02(b) will not affect the rights of the Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default, and are separate and distinct from, and in addition to, the obligation of the Company to increase the interest rate of, and the amount of interest payable on, the Notes pursuant to Section 4.10. Any additional interest paid pursuant to this Section 6.02(b) will be payable at the times and in the manner provided for the payment of regular interest in the Notes (and all references herein to “interest” shall include the additional interest provided for in this Section 6.02(b)).
     SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy occurring upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

34


 

     SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to the right of a 50% Affiliated Holder to accelerate the Notes, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes (other than the non-payment of principal of or non-payment of interest, if any, on the Notes which has become due solely by virtue of an acceleration which has been duly rescinded as provided above), or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Holders of Notes. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing. No waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
     SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity, or if a 50% Affiliated Holder has accelerated the maturity of the Notes, such 50% Affiliated Holder, 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 on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided that the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation (subject to Section 7.01) to ascertain whether or not such actions of forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders; provided, further, that the Trustee may take any other action the Trustee deems proper that is not inconsistent with such directions.
     SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:
   (1) the Holder gives to the Trustee notice of a continuing Event of Default;
   (2) (i) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity or (ii) a 50% Affiliated Holder, as the case may be, makes a request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
   (3) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
   (4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and
   (5) during such 60-day period, in the case of clause (2)(i) above, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes that are not held by an Affiliated Entity do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

     SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property. Any receiver, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar official) in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, taxes, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agent and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.07. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
     SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
     First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee, and the costs and expenses of collection;

     Fifth: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
     The Trustee may fix a special record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes made pursuant to this Section 6.10. At least 15 days before any such special record

36


 

date, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of the Notes a notice that states the special record date, payment date and amount of such interest to be paid.
     SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit, other than the Trustee, of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

     SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 60 days after it occurs. A Default or an Event of Default shall not be considered known to the Trustee unless it is a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal or interest when due under Section 6.01(a), (b) or (e) or the Trustee shall have received notice thereof, in accordance with this Indenture, from the Company or from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or interest, if any, on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Notes.

Within 60 days after the reporting date stated in Section 10.10, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).
     A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Holders of Notes shall be filed, at the expense of the Company, by the Trustee with the Commission and each stock exchange or securities market, if any, on which the Notes are listed. The Company shall timely notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed or quoted on any stock exchange or securities market.
     SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time and the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and its services hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by or on behalf of it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses may include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents, counsel and other persons not regularly in its employ.

The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim with counsel designated by the Company, who may be outside counsel to the Company but shall in all events be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. In addition, the Trustee may retain one separate counsel and, if deemed advisable by such counsel, local counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel and local counsel. The indemnification herein extends to any settlement, provided that the Company will not be liable for any settlement made without its consent, provided, further, that such consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

40


 

     The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or liability incurred by the Trustee through its own negligence or willful misconduct.
     The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee to secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest, if any, on Notes. Such liens and the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (j) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
     SECTION 7.08. Replacement of the Trustee. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08.
     The Trustee may resign at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee.

     (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
     (iii) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or
     (iv) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
     If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
     If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
     If the Trustee after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.
     A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall

41


 

become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07. Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior to such replacement.
     Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the preceding paragraph.
     SECTION 7.09. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business (including the trust created by this Indenture) to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.
     SECTION 7.10. Eligibility, Disqualification. This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310 (a)(1) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a combined capital and surplus as stated in Section 10.10. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b) regarding the disqualification of a trustee upon acquiring a conflicting interest; provided, however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are met.
     SECTION 7.11. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship set forth in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

     SECTION 8.01. Discharge of Indenture. When (a) the Company delivers to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any other Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, or (b) all the Notes not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or by their terms will become due and payable within one year, and the Company deposits with the Trustee, in trust, amounts in U.S. legal tender or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity of all of the Notes (other than any Notes which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes have been authenticated and

delivered) not theretofore canceled or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal and and interest, if any, due or to become due to such date of maturity, and if the Company also pays, or causes to be paid, all other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to (i) rights of registration of transfer, substitution, replacement and exchange and conversion of Notes, (ii) rights hereunder of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes, (iii) the obligations under Sections 2.03 and 8.05 hereof and (iv) the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by Section 10.04 and at the Company’s cost and expense, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.
     SECTION 8.02. Deposited Monies to be Held in Trust by Trustee. Subject to Section 8.04, all monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it to the payment, notwithstanding the provisions of Article XI, either directly or through the Paying Agent, to the Holders of the particular Notes for the payment of which such monies have been deposited with the Trustee, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and interest, if any.
     SECTION 8.03. Paying Agent to Repay Monies Held. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, all monies then held by any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) shall, upon the Company’s demand, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies.
     SECTION 8.04. Return of Unclaimed Monies. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, any monies deposited with or paid to the Trustee for payment of the principal of, or interest, if any, on Notes and not applied but remaining unclaimed by the Holders thereof for two years after the date upon which the principal of, or interest on such Notes, as the case may be, have become due and payable, shall be repaid to the Company by the Trustee on demand; provided, however, that the Company, or the Trustee at the request of the Company, shall have first caused notice of such payment to the Company to be mailed to each Holder of a Note entitled thereto no less than 30 days prior to such payment and all liability of the Trustee shall thereupon cease with respect to such monies; and the Holder of any of such Notes shall thereafter look only to the Company for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another Person.
     SECTION 8.05. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 8.02 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of interest on or principal of any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of

43


 

the Holders thereof to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS
     SECTION 9.01. Without the Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes without notice to or the consent of any Holder to:
     (a) cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained in this Indenture or make any other changes in the provisions of this Indenture which the Company and the Trustee may deem necessary or desirable, provided such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of the Holders;
     (b) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;
     (c) evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and provide for the assumption by such successor of the covenants and obligations of the Company thereunder and in the Notes as permitted by Section 5.01;

     SECTION 9.02. With the Consent of Holders. Subject to Section 6.07, the Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes held by persons other than an Affiliated Entity (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes).
     Subject to the right of a 50% Affiliated Holder to accelerate the Notes as described under Section 6.02 and also to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then-outstanding Notes held by Persons other than an Affiliate or an Affiliated Entity (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes) may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

44


 

          However, without the consent of each Holder of a Note affected (including any Holder that is an Affiliated Entity), an amendment or waiver under this Section may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:
     (a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
     (b) reduce the principal of, any Designated Event Payment in respect of (including any Make Whole Premium payable), or change the fixed maturity of, any Note;
     (c) reduce the rate of, or change the time for payment of, interest on any Note, including defaulted interest, if any;
     (d) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes as provided in Section 6.02);
     (e) make any Note payable in money other than as provided for herein and in the Notes;
     (f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or Events of Default or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or the Notes;
     (g) except as permitted herein (including Section 9.01(a)), reduce the Conversion Rate or modify the provisions contained herein relating to conversion of the Notes in a manner adverse to the Holders thereof; or
     (h) make any change to the abilities of Holders of Notes to enforce their rights hereunder or the provisions of clauses (a) through (h) of this Section 9.02.

     To secure a consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section, it shall not be necessary for such Holders to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
     After an amendment or waiver under this Article IX becomes effective, the Company shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice briefly describing the amendment or waiver. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity of an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Article IX.
     SECTION 9.03. Compliance with the Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in a supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect.

45


 

     SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by such Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his or her Note or portion of a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have consented to the amendment or waiver.
     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Notes entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders of Notes at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of Notes required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.
     After an amendment or waiver becomes effective it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.02. In such cases, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note.
     SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article IX may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in the form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company and the Trustee, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for outstanding Notes without charge to the Holders of the Notes, except as specified in Section 2.07.
     SECTION 9.06. Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if such amendment or supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms.

     (4) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon certificates, statements or opinions of, or representations by, an Officer or Officers of the Company, or other Persons or firms deemed appropriate by such counsel, unless such counsel knows that the certificates, statements or opinions or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous.
     Any Officer’s Certificate, statement or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representation by an accountant (who may be an employee of the Company), or firm of accountants, unless such Officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate or opinion or representation with respect to the accounting matters upon which his or her certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid is erroneous.
     SECTION 10.06. Rules by Trustee and Agents. The Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by, or a meeting of, Holders of Notes. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable requirements for its functions.

the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period. If any date specified in this Indenture, is a Legal Holiday, then such date shall be the next succeeding Business Day.

No director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company from time to time shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

ARTICLE XI
SUBORDINATION
     SECTION 11.01. Agreement to Subordinate. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article XI, to the prior payment in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to holders of Senior Debt of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the Issue Date or thereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note is equal in right of payment to the Existing Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Notes shall be “Designated Senior Debt” for purposes of the indentures governing the Company’s Convertible Subordinated Notes.
     SECTION 11.02. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its

50


 

property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:
     (1) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all Obligations in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest, expense reimbursements and indemnities after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt, whether or not such claims are allowed, allowable or enforceable in such proceeding and even if disallowed therein) in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of the Senior Debt before the Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution with respect to the Notes (except that Holders of the Notes may receive and retain (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any trust created pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof); and
     (2) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in clause (1) above) are paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of the Senior Debt, any distribution to which Holders of Notes would be entitled but for this Article XI shall be made to holders of Senior Debt (except that Holders of the Notes may receive and retain (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any trust created pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof), as their interests may appear.
     SECTION 11.03. Default on Designated Senior Debt. The Company may not make any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Notes and may not acquire any Notes from the Trustee or any Holder for cash or property (other than (A) Permitted Junior Securities and (B) payments and other distributions made from any trust created pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof) until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of the Senior Debt if:
     (i) a default in the payment of any principal or other Obligations in respect of Senior Debt occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period in the agreement, indenture or other document governing such Senior Debt; or
     (ii) a default, other than a default specified in (i) above, on Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a Person who may give it pursuant to Section 11.11 hereof.
     If the Trustee receives any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to Section 11.03(ii) hereof, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless and until (A) at least 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice and (B) all scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash. No nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 180 days.

51


 

     The Company may and shall resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Notes and may acquire them upon the earlier of:
     (1) in the case of a payment default, upon the date on which the default is cured or waived, and
     (2) in the case of a nonpayment default referred to in Section 11.03(ii) hereof, the earlier of the date on which such nonpayment default is cured or waived, or 179 days after the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated,
if this Article XI otherwise permits the payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition.
     SECTION 11.04. Acceleration of Notes. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt (or their Representative) of the acceleration.
     SECTION 11.05. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the Trustee, any Holder or any other Person receives any payment or distribution of the Company’s assets of any kind in contravention of any of the terms of the Indenture or the Notes, whether in cash, property or securities (including, without limitation, by way of set-off or otherwise) with respect to any Obligations under the Notes before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash (or other payment satisfactory to the holders of the Senior Debt) at a time when (i) such payment is prohibited by the provisions of this Article XI, or (ii) the Trustee or such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment is prohibited by the provisions of this Article XI, then the recipient of such payment shall hold it in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their Representative under the indenture or other agreement (if any) pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt.
     With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article XI, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of Notes or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XI, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.
     SECTION 11.06. Notice by Company. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes or the purchase of any Notes by the Company to

52


 

violate this Article XI, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt as provided in this Article XI.
     SECTION 11.07. Subrogation. After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other indebtedness pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article XI to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, a payment by the Company on the Notes.
     SECTION 11.08. Relative Rights. This Article XI defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:
     (1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay its Obligations in respect of this Indenture and the Notes in accordance with their terms;
     (2) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company, other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or
     (3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders.
     If the Company fails because of this Article XI to pay principal of or interest on a Note on the due date, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.
     SECTION 11.09. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any such holder to comply with this Indenture.
     SECTION 11.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative.
     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article XI, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XI.

53


 

     SECTION 11.11. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XI or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless the Trustee shall have received at least two Business Days prior to the date of such payment or distribution written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes to violate this Article XI. Only the Company or a Representative may give the notice.
     Nothing in this Article XI shall impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof.
     The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights.
     SECTION 11.12. Authorization to Effect Subordination. Each Holder by the Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article XI, and appoints the Trustee to act as the Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09 hereof at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the holders of any Senior Debt or their Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Notes.
     SECTION 11.13. Amendments. The provisions of this Article XI shall not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Debt.
     SECTION 11.14. Senior Debt Entitled to Rely. The holders of Senior Debt shall have the right to rely upon this Article XI, and no amendment or modification of the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.
ARTICLE XII
CONVERSION
     SECTION 12.01. Right to Convert. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time on or before the close of business on the last Trading Day prior to the Maturity Date (except that, with respect to any Note or portion thereof subject to a duly completed election for repurchase, such right shall terminate on the close of business on the Designated Event Offer Termination Date (unless the Company defaults in the payment due upon repurchase)) to convert the principal amount of any Note held by such Holder, or any portion of such principal amount which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as such shares shall then be constituted) based on the Conversion Rate in effect at such time, by surrender of the Note to be so converted in whole or in part in the manner provided in Section 12.02. A Holder is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common

54


 

Stock until such Holder has converted his or her Notes to Common Stock, and only to the extent such Notes are deemed to have been converted to Common Stock under this Article XII.
     SECTION 12.02. Exercise of Conversion Privilege; Issuance of Common Stock on Conversion; No Adjustment for Interest or Dividends. To exercise, in whole or in part, the conversion privilege with respect to any Note, the Holder of such Note shall surrender such Note, duly endorsed, at an office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.04, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by the fourth paragraph of this Section 12.02, and shall give a duly signed written notice of conversion, in the form provided on the Notes or available from the Conversion Agent (or such other notice which is acceptable to the Company) to the office or agency, that the Holder elects to convert such Note or such portion thereof specified in said notice. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock which are issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer taxes, if required pursuant to Section 12.07. Each such Note surrendered for conversion shall, unless the shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Note, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or his or her duly authorized attorney.
     As promptly as practicable after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, but no later than the third Business Day thereafter, the Company shall issue and shall deliver to such Holder at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.04, a certificate or certificates for, or effect a book-entry transfer through the Depositary with respect to, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Note or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article XII and a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion (unless the Company elects to round up the number of share of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion pursuant to Section 12.03), as provided in Section 12.03 (which payment, if any, shall be paid no later than three Business Days after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above). Notwithstanding the preceding sentenced, if any calculation required in order to determine the number of shares of Common Stock the Company must deliver in respect of a given conversion of Notes is based on data or other information that will not be available to the Company on the date the requirements set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 12.02 have been satisfied, the Company will delay settlement of that conversion until no later than the third Business Day after the relevant data or information becomes available. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock will not be issued or delivered unless all taxes and duties, if any, payable by the Holder have been paid or the Holder shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such taxes and duties have been paid. In case any Note of a denomination of an integral multiple greater than $1,000 is surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 2.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Note so surrendered, without charge to him or her, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note.
     Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected with respect to a Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in the first paragraph of this Section 12.02 have been satisfied with respect to such Note (or portion thereof), and the Person

55


 

in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby; provided, however, that any Holder who has satisfied the requirements for conversion set forth above but does not receive certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or such shares in electronic book-entry form, as applicable) within five days after satisfying such requirements (or five days after such longer period of time as the Company may be allowed to deliver the shares pursuant to the terms of the preceding paragraph) may notify the Conversion Agent in writing of such failed conversion and such Holder will be reinstated as a Holder for all purposes under this Indenture until such shares are delivered. Any such surrender on any date when the Company’s stock transfer books are closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect on the date upon which such Note is surrendered.
     Any Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on the Regular Record Date for any interest payment through the close of business on the last Trading Day immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment, in funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest, otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted; provided however, that no such payment need be made if there exists at the time of conversion a default in the payment of interest on the Notes; and provided, further, that no such payment need be made if the Notes are surrendered for conversion on or after the final Regular Record Date. An amount equal to such payment shall be paid by the Company on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder at the close of business on such Regular Record Date; provided, however, that if the Company defaults in the payment of interest, if applicable, on such Interest Payment Date, such amount shall be paid to the Person who made such required payment. Except as provided above in this Section 12.02, no cash payment of interest shall be made and no adjustment shall be made for interest accrued, if any, on any Note converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Note as provided in this Article XII.
     With respect to any Notes bearing a Restricted Securities Legend or Affiliate Security Legend on the date of conversion, the shares of Common Stock distributed upon conversion will be issued in physical certificated form, will not be held in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depositary and shall be treated as “restricted securities,” and the Company will affix the applicable Restricted Stock Legend that is set forth in Exhibit D upon such shares of Common Stock.
     By delivering the amount of cash and/or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion to the Trustee, the Company will be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Notes so converted and its obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest attributable to the period from the most recent Interest Payment Date through the date of conversion (which amount will be deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited).
     SECTION 12.03. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the

56


 

number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered for conversion. If any fractional share of stock otherwise would be issuable upon the conversion of any Note or Notes, the Company may elect to make an adjustment therefore in cash based upon the Current Market Price (as defined in Section 12.05(g)) of the Common Stock on the last Trading Day prior to the date of conversion, or in lieu of making such cash payment, the Company may elect to round up to the next whole share the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to any Holder upon conversion.
     SECTION 12.04. Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be as specified in the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, subject to adjustment as provided in this Article XII.
     SECTION 12.05. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company as follows:
     (a) If the Company shall hereafter issue shares of its Common Stock as a dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution shall be increased by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on such Record Date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately after such dividend or other distribution, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for such dividend or distribution. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such dividend or other distribution. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 12.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (b) If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced. Any such increase or reduction, as the case may be, shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes effective.
     (c) If the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) for a period expiring 45 days or less from the date of issuance of such rights, options or warrants at a price per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on such Record Date by a

57


 

fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date plus (y) the total number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants (or into which the convertible securities so offered are convertible), and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants (or the aggregate conversion price of the convertible securities so offered for subscription or purchase, which shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such convertible securities by the conversion price per share of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such convertible securities) and (B) the Current Market Price as of the Business Day immediately preceding the announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution of such rights, options or warrants. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights, options or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights, options or warrants the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price on the related Record Date, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, options or warrants, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors.
     (d) If the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company (other than any dividends or distributions to which Section 12.05(a) or 12.05(b) applies) or evidences of its indebtedness, cash or other assets or property (including securities, but excluding any dividend, distribution or issuance of a type referred to in Section 12.05(b), (c) or (e), or of Spin-off Securities (as defined below)) (the foregoing hereinafter in this Section 12.05(d) called the “Distributed Securities”), then (unless the Company distributes such Distributed Securities for distribution to the Holders of Notes on such dividend or distribution date (in such amount as if each Holder had converted such Note into Common Stock immediately prior to the Record Date with respect to such distribution)), in each such case, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price on such Record Date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (x) the Current Market Price on such Record Date minus (y) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) on such Record Date

58


 

of the portion of the Distributed Securities applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date). Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution; provided, however, that in the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Securities applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price on the Record Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of Distributed Securities such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior to such Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 12.05(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities comprising all or part of such distribution, in doing so the Board of Directors shall, to the extent possible, consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to Section 12.05(g).
     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.05(d) to the contrary, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness, other securities, cash or other assets (including, without limitation, any rights distributed pursuant to any stockholder rights plan) shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 12.05(d) if the Company makes proper provision so that each Holder who converts a Note (or any portion thereof) after the Record Date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount and kind of such distributions that such Holder would have been entitled to receive if such Holder had, immediately prior to such determination date, converted such Note into shares of Common Stock.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (the “Spin-off Securities”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted, unless the Company makes an equivalent distribution to Holders of the Notes, such that the same shall be equal to the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of our Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Days (the “Spinoff Valuation Period”) commencing on and including the fifth Trading Day after the “ex” date with respect to such Spin-off Securities, on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or such other national or regional exchange or market on which the Spin-off Securities are listed or quoted (provided, that if shares of shares of such capital stock or equity interests are not so listed or quoted, the fair market value as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) and (y) the average of the Closing Sale Prices of one share of Common Stock over the Spinoff Valuation Period of the Spinoff Securities , and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of one share of Common Stock over the Spinoff Valuation Period. Such adjustment shall

59


 

become effective immediately after the Record Date for such distribution, but the Company shall not be required to calculate the adjustment to the conversion rate adjustment relating to any Spinoff Securities until the third Business Day following the Spinoff Valuation Period; provided, however, that the Company may in lieu of the foregoing adjustment elect to make adequate provision so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion thereof the amount of such Spinoff Securities that such Holder would have received if its Notes had been converted on the Record Date with respect to such distribution.
     For purposes of this Section 12.05(d) and Sections 12.05(a) and (c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 12.05(d) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 12.05(c) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of Capital Stock, rights, options or warrants other than such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to which Section 12.05(c) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustments required by this Section 12.05(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustments required by Sections 12.05(a) and (c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made, except that (A) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution”, “Record Date fixed for such determination” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.05(a) and as “the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants”, “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants” and “such Record Date” within the meaning of Section 12.05(c) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of Section 12.05(a).
     (e) If the Company shall make any dividend or other distribution (a “Triggering Distribution”) consisting exclusively of cash to all or substantially all holders of shares of its Common Stock (excluding any cash that is distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 12.06 applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section 12.05(d)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately at the close of business on the Record Date for such Triggering Distribution (a “Distribution Determination Date”) by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Determination Date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be (x) the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on such Distribution Determination Date minus (y) the amount of such cash dividend or distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the Distribution Determination Date); provided, however, that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the Distribution Determination Date, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of a Note (or any portion thereof) the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Note (or portion thereof) immediately prior

60


 

to such Distribution Determination Date. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     (f) If the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries makes purchases of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, and such tender or exchange offer (as amended upon the expiration thereof) requires the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration having a fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) per share of Common Stock that exceeds the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock as of the last date (the “Expiration Date”) tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended) (the last time at which such tenders could have been made on the Expiration Date is hereinafter called the “Expiration Time”), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted so that the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Expiration Date shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to close of business on the Expiration Date by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value of the aggregate consideration (the fair market value as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair market value and which shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) paid or payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the “Purchased Shares”) and (y) the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (less any Purchased Shares and excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time and (B) the Closing Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the product of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including Purchased Shares but excluding any shares held in the treasury of the Company) at the Expiration Time multiplied by (y) the Closing Sale Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. Such adjustment (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Date. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded or if the tender offer is terminated in accordance with its terms and no Purchased Shares are purchased, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such tender offer had not been made. If the application of this Section 12.05(f) to any tender offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer under this
Section 12.05(f).
     (g) For purposes of this Section 12.05, the following terms shall have the meaning indicated:

61


 

     (1) “Closing Sale Price” with respect to the Common Stock on any day means the closing sale price per share on such day (or, if no closing sale price is reported, (a) the last reported sale price, or (b) if no last reported sale price is reported, the average of the last reported bid price and ask prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the average last reported bid price and the average last reported ask price) on such date as reported on the principal U.S. securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded or, if the Common Stock is not listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, as reported by Pink Sheets LLC. In the absence of such a quotation, the Closing Sale Price will be an amount determined in good faith by the Board of Directors to be the fair value of a share of the Common Stock (whose determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors).
     (2) “Current Market Price” means the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the earlier of the day in question and the day before the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation; provided however, that (1) if the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Sections 12.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs during such 10 consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (2) if the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Sale Price for each trading day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and (3) if the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (1) or (2) of this proviso, the Closing Sale Price for each trading day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Sections 12.05(d) or (f), whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date. For purposes of any computation under Section 12.05(f), the Current Market Price on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and the next two succeeding trading days; provided, however, that if the “ex” date for any event (other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 12.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Sale

62


 

Price for each trading day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “ex” date, (1) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (2) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (3) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section 12.05, such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 12.05 and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.
     (3) “fair market value” shall mean the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction.
     (4) “Record Date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
     (5) “Trading Day” shall mean (x) if the applicable security is listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or another national securities exchange, a day on which the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Global Select Market or another national securities exchange is open for business or (y) if the applicable security is not so listed, admitted for trading or quoted, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.
     (h) The Company may, at its option, make such adjustments in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Sections 12.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), as the Board of Directors considers to be advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock (or rights to acquire stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes.
     The Company from time to time may, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the applicable rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or the national securities exchange on

63


 

which the Common Stock may be listed at the time), increase the Conversion Rate of the Notes by any amount for any period of at least 20 days, if the Board of Directors has made a determination that such increase would be in the Company’s best interests, which determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of Directors. The increase in Conversion Rate shall be irrevocable during this period. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes at his or her last address appearing on the Register of Holders maintained for that purpose a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.
     (i) With respect to any rights, options or warrants (the “Rights”) that may be issued or distributed pursuant to any rights plan that the Company implements after the date of this Indenture (each a “Rights Plan”), in lieu of any adjustment required by any other provision of this Section 12.05 upon conversion of the Notes into Common Stock, to the extent that such Rights Plan is in effect upon such conversion, the Holders of Notes will receive, with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion, the Rights described therein (whether or not the Rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of conversion), subject to the limitations set forth in and in accordance with any such Rights Plan; provided that if, at the time of conversion, however, the Rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the Rights Plan so that Holders would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes as a result of the timing of the Conversion Date, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock Distributed Securities as provided Section 12.05(d), subject to appropriate readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination, repurchase or redemption of the Rights. Any distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to a Rights Plan complying with the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph shall not constitute a distribution of rights or warrants pursuant to this Section 12.05. Other than as specified in this clause (i), there will not be any adjustment to the Conversion Rate as the result of the issuance of any Rights, the distribution of separate certificates representing such Rights, the exercise or redemption of such Rights in accordance with any Rights Plan or the termination or invalidation of any Rights.
     (j) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 12.05(j) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article XII shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one thousandth of a share, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all adjustments not previously made shall have effect and be made upon conversion of any of the Notes.
     No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Common Stock.
     The Company shall not make any adjustment in the Conversion Rate (i) that would result in an adjustment of the Conversion Rate to reflect a Conversion Price of less than the par value per share of Common Stock or (ii) without complying, if applicable, with the shareholder

64


 

approval rules of any national securities exchange on which the Common stock is listed at the relevant time.
     (k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment, detailing the calculation of the Conversion Rate and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate describing in reasonable detail the adjusted Conversion Rate, the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and the method by which the Conversion Rate was adjusted and shall mail such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at his or her last address appearing on the Register of Holders maintained for that purpose within 10 Business Days of the effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
     (l) In any case in which this Section 12.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event issuing to the Holder of any Note converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment.
     (m) For purposes of this Section 12.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
     (n) The Company shall not take any action pursuant to Section 12.05 (i) that would result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate to reflect a Conversion Price of less than the par value per share of the Common Stock or (ii) without complying, if applicable, with the shareholder approval rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including Market Rule 4350, which requires stockholder approval of certain issuances of stock) or any stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock is listed at the relevant time.
     SECTION 12.06. Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Combination, Sale, Lease or Transfer.
     In the event of any (i) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) consolidation, merger or binding share exchange of the Company with another corporation, or (iii) sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition to another person of the property and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, in each case, as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock, the Company or the successor or purchasing corporation, as

65


 

the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the TIA as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) providing that Holders of Notes shall thereafter be entitled to convert Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities, property, assets or cash (or any combination thereof) that such Holders would have owned or otherwise been entitled to receive upon such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer had such Notes been converted into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer (subject to the right of such Holder to receive the Make Whole Premium upon compliance with the provisions of such Section) (such property, the “Reference Property”). In the event holders of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in a recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer, the Company will make adequate provision whereby Holders of the Notes shall have the opportunity, on a timely basis, to determine the form of Reference Property into which all of the Notes, treated as a single class, shall be convertible. Such determination shall be based on the blended, weighted average of elections made by Holders of the Notes who participate in such determination and shall be subject to any limitations to which all of the holders of Common Stock are subject to, including as pro rata reductions applicable to any portion of the consideration payable. Such determination will apply to all of the Notes and the Company shall notify the Conversion Agent of the composition of such Reference Property promptly after determination thereof. The Company shall not become party to any such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer unless the terms of such transaction are consistent with the foregoing. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article XII.
     If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of shares of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such recapitalization, reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, combination, sale, lease, assignment, conveyance or other transfer, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.
     The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder at his or her address appearing on the Register of Holders for that purpose within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
     The above provisions of this Section 12.06 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales, leases, assignment, conveyance or other transfers. If this Section 12.06 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 12.05 shall not apply.

66


 

     SECTION 12.07. Taxes on Shares Issued. The issue of stock certificates on conversions of Notes shall be made without charge to the converting Holder for any tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of stock in any name other than that of the Holder of any Note converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
     SECTION 12.08. Reservation of Shares; Shares to Be Fully Paid; Listing of Common Stock. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares to provide for the conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion.
     Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment increasing the Conversion Rate to a level such that the Conversion Price would be below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Company shall take all corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate; provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock shall be required to be issued at a Conversion Price less than the par value of such Common Stock.
     The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
     The Company further covenants that as long as the Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, or its successor, the Company shall cause all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes to be eligible for such quotation in accordance with, and at the times required under, the requirements of such market, and if at any time the Common Stock becomes listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange, the Company shall cause all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes to be so listed and kept listed.
     SECTION 12.09. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty of responsibility to any Holders to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee makes no representations with respect thereto. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article XII. Without

67


 

limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not have any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 12.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of its Notes after any event referred to in such Section 12.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall have any duties to holders of the Company’s common stock obtained by such holder under this Article XII, or any duty to monitor whether the Company issues (timely or otherwise) Common Stock to Holders under this Article XII.

     (b) the Company authorizes the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class of Common Stock or any other rights, options or warrants; or
     (c) there is any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
     (d) there is any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;

Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
     SECTION 12.11. Restriction on Common Stock Issuable Upon Conversion.
     (a) Shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes that bear either a Restricted Securities Legend or an Affiliate Securities Legend at the time of such conversion shall be physically delivered in certificated form to the Holders converting such Notes and the certificate representing such shares of Common Stock shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend unless removed in accordance with Section 12.11(c).
     (b) If (i) shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes that bear either a Restricted Securities Legend at the time of such conversion are to be registered in a name other than that of the Holder of such Note or (ii) shares of Common Stock represented by a certificate bearing the Restricted Stock Legend are transferred subsequently by such Holder, then, unless (i) with respect to shares issued upon conversion of Restricted Notes, the Restricted Securities Legend on the Global Securities has been removed pursuant to Section 2.07(c) or (ii) a shelf registration statement has become effective with respect to the resale of such shares of Common Stock and such shares are being transferred pursuant thereto, the Holder must deliver to the transfer agent for the Common Stock a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E as to compliance with the restrictions on transfer applicable to such shares of Common Stock and neither the transfer agent nor the registrar for the Common Stock shall be required to register any transfer of such Common Stock not so accompanied by a properly completed certificate.
     (c) Except in connection with a transfers described in Section 12.11(b), if certificates representing shares of Common Stock are issued upon the registration of transfer, exchange or replacement of any other certificate representing shares of Common Stock bearing the Restricted Stock Legend, or if a request is made to remove such Restricted Stock Legend from certificates representing shares of Common Stock, the certificates so issued shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend, or the Restricted Stock Legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Company such satisfactory evidence, which, in the case of a transfer made pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may include an opinion of counsel pursuant to the laws in the State of New York, as may be reasonably required by the Company, that neither the legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or that such shares of Common Stock are securities that are not “restricted” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Upon provision to the Company of such reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Company shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock to countersign and deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock that do not bear the legend.
     (d) Notwithstanding Section 12.11(c), any stock certificate representing shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Non-Affiliate Notes (or security issued in exchange or substitution therefor) as to which the restrictions on transfer shall have expired in accordance with their terms or that has been transferred, replaced or exchanged on or after the date that the Company, pursuant to Section 2.07(c), removes the Restricted Securities Legend from the Non-

     SECTION 12.12. Make Whole Premium Upon a Designated Event. If there shall have occurred a Designated Event that (a) constitutes a transaction described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of a Change of Control, or (b) but for the 105% trading price exception contained in clause (x) of the proviso to such definition would constitute a Change of Control, the Company shall pay a “Make Whole Premium” to the Holders of the Notes who surrender its Notes for conversion during the period beginning 10 Trading Days before the anticipated effective date of such Designated Event (the “Effective Date”, which shall be announced by the Company in any notice or release announcing the applicable transaction) and ending at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Designated Event Payment Date by increasing the applicable Conversion Rate for such Notes by a number of additional shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined in accordance with the table below, based on the Effective Date and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid per share of Common Stock in such Designated Event on such Effective Date; provided that (i) if the Stock Price on the Effective Date is not set forth on the table below but is between two Stock Prices specified on the table below or the Effective Date is not set forth on the table below but is between two Effective Dates specified on the table below, the Make Whole Premium will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the Make Whole Premiums set forth for the two Stock Prices and the two Effective Dates on the table below based on a 365-day year, as applicable, (ii) if the Stock Price on the Effective Date equals or exceeds $13.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid, and (iii) if the Stock Price on the Effective Date is less than $2.63 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, no Make Whole Premium will be paid. If Holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in the applicable Designated Event, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of the Common Stock in connection with such Designated Event. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be equal to the average Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each of the 10 Trading Days immediately preceding, but not including, the applicable Effective Date.

     For purposes of giving effect to the Make Whole Premium, the Conversion Price of the Notes following payment of the Make Whole Premium shall be equal to the product of (a) the Conversion Price immediately prior to payment of the Make Whole Premium and (b) the fraction obtained by dividing (i) the Conversion Rate immediately prior to payment of the Make Whole Premium by (ii) the Conversion Rate immediately after payment of the Make Whole Premium.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraphs, in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of a Note exceed 380.2281 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as set forth in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 12.05 hereof.

Amkor Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per annum shown above; provided that such rate may be increased from time to time as provided in the Indenture, including Sections 4.10 and 6.02(b) thereof. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning October 15, 2009. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from April 1, 2009. Interest, if any, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. The Company shall pay any increased interest required to be paid by it pursuant to Section 4.10 and Section 6.02(b) of the Indenture in the manner and on the dates otherwise provided herein for the payment of interest.
     2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Person in whose name each Note is registered at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date (each a “Regular Record Date”) (other than with respect to a Note or portion thereof repurchased in connection with a Designated Event on a repurchase date, during the period from the close of business on a Regular Record Date to (but excluding) the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, in which case accrued interest shall be payable (unless such Note or portion thereof is converted) to the Holder of the Note or portion thereof repurchased in accordance with the applicable repurchase provisions of the Indenture). A Holder must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay the principal of, and interest on the Notes at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. Until otherwise designated by the Company, the Company’s office or agency maintained for such purpose will be the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (as defined below). However, the Company may pay principal, and interest by check payable in such money, and may mail such check to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses as set forth in the Register of Holders of Notes.
          Payments in respect of Notes represented by a Global Security (including principal and interest) will be made by the transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Depositary. The Company will make all payments in respect of a Definitive Security (including principal and interest) by mailing a check to the registered address of each Holder thereof as set forth in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments on the Notes may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $2,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the Paying Agent to such effect designating such account no later than 15 days

The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S. Code Sections 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”) as in effect on the Issue Date. The Notes are subject to, and qualified by, all such terms, certain of which are summarized hereon, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. However, to the extent any provision of any Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Company will furnish to any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture. Requests may be made to: Chief Financial Officer, Amkor Technology, Inc., 1900 Price Road, Chandler, Arizona 85286.

     If there shall occur a Designated Event that constitutes a Change of Control, the Company shall pay a “Make Whole Premium” upon conversion of a Note in certain circumstances as described in the Indenture.
     6. SUBORDINATION. The Company’s payment of the principal of, and interest on the Notes is subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Company’s Senior Debt as set forth in the Indenture. Each Holder by his or her acceptance hereof covenants and agrees that all payments of the principal of, and interest on the Notes by the Company shall be subordinated in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Indenture, and each Holder accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions. The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Note is equal in right of payment to the Existing Pari Passu Indebtedness.
     7. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. As a

Exhibit 10.1
AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC.
2009 VOTING AGREEMENT
This Voting Agreement (this “AGREEMENT”) is made and entered into as of March 26, 2009 by and among Amkor Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “COMPANY”), James J. Kim (“MR. KIM”), and 915 Investments, LP (collectively, the “INVESTORS”). Capitalized terms contained and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement (defined below).
RECITALS
     A. The Company proposes to issue up to $250 million in aggregate principal amount of Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “NOTES”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (the “COMMON STOCK”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement (the “PURCHASE AGREEMENT”) of even date herewith (the “FINANCING”), of which Investors will purchase at least $150 million in aggregate principal amount and up to $200 million in aggregate principal amount.
     B. Investors and their affiliates are the beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “EXCHANGE ACT”); all references in this Agreement to “beneficial ownership” or like terms shall be deemed to be references to beneficial ownership by Investors, their affiliates and other persons or entities with whom they are acting in concert as so defined) of such number of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company, and such number of shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and conversion of notes, as is indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.
     C. In consideration of the execution of the Purchase Agreement by the Company, Investors (in their capacity as such) have agreed to vote the Shares (as defined below) over which Investors have voting power, in the manner set forth below.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and other consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
     1. SHARES. During the term of this Agreement, Investors agree to vote all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes (the “SHARES”) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, Shares shall not include any securities of the Company of which Investors are the beneficial owners immediately prior to the Closing of the Financing or any securities of the Company acquired by Investors other than upon conversion of the Notes subsequent to the date of this Agreement. In this regard, the parties recognize that certain shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Company’s 6.25% convertible Subordinated notes due 2013 are subject to a Voting Agreement dated as of November 18, 2005 by and among the Company, Mr. Kim and the other Investors

 


 

named therein (the “2005 Voting Agreement”). The parties hereto agree that the obligations of Mr. Kim and the Company under the 2005 Voting Agreement shall not be affected by the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.
     2. VOTING. Until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 3 hereof, Investors agree to vote and cause to be voted all Shares beneficially owned, either directly or indirectly, by them in a neutral manner on all matters submitted to the stockholders of the Company for a vote, whether required by the Company’s charter or bylaws, pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise, including, but not limited to, the election of directors or a Change of Control Transaction (as defined below); provided, however, that to the extent that the Investors and their affiliates shall beneficially own, in the aggregate, securities of the Company representing less than forty-one and six-tenths percent (41.6%) of the then-outstanding voting power of the Company, then the Investors shall not be required to vote in a neutral manner such number of the Shares equal to the difference of (i) (x) the number of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of the record date set for any matter submitted for a vote of stockholders of the Company multiplied by (y) .416, less (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investors in the aggregate on the record date set for such stockholder vote other than the Shares. In such instances, the Investors shall be entitled to vote a number of Shares in a non-neutral manner in direct proportion to such Investors’ beneficial ownership of voting securities of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “neutral manner” means in the same proportion to all other outstanding voting securities of the Company (excluding any and all voting securities beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Investors) that are actually voted on a proposal submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval. By way of example only, if 100,000 voting securities that are not beneficially owned by Investors are cast with 60,000 of such shares voting “For” a proposal, 30,000 of such shares voting “Against” a proposal, and 10,000 of such shares abstaining, Investors shall vote sixty percent (60%) of the Shares “For” the proposal, thirty percent (30%) “Against” the proposal and abstain with respect to ten percent (10%) of the Shares. The term “vote” shall include any exercise of voting rights whether at an annual or special meeting of stockholders or by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
     3. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) such time as no principal amount of the Notes remain outstanding and the Investors or their affiliates no longer beneficially own any Shares; (ii) the consummation of a Change of Control Transaction; or (iii) the mutual agreement of the Company and Investors. “CHANGE OF CONTROL TRANSACTION” means either (a) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, tender offer, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of stock for capital raising purposes) that results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto failing to represent immediately after such transaction or series of transactions (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or the entity that controls such surviving entity) a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company, such surviving entity or the entity that controls such surviving entity; provided, however, that the Financing or conversion of the Notes pursuant to the terms of the

2


 

Purchase Agreement shall not constitute a Change of Control Transaction; or (b) a sale, lease or other conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
     4. ADDITIONAL SHARES. In the event that subsequent to the date of this Agreement any shares or other securities (other than pursuant to a Change of Control Transaction) are issued on, or in exchange for, any of the Shares by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification or consolidation involving the Company, such shares or securities shall be deemed to be Shares for purposes of this Agreement.
     5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INVESTORS. Investors hereby represent and warrant to the Company that, as of the date hereof, (i) Investors are the beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock, and the options, warrants and other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, with full power to vote or direct the voting of the Shares for and on behalf of all beneficial owners of the Shares; (ii) the Shares, when issued, will be free and clear of any liens, pledges, security interests, claims, options, rights of first refusal, co-sale rights, charges or other encumbrances of any kind or nature (other than pursuant to the terms of restricted stock agreements as in effect on the date hereof); (iii) Investors do not beneficially own any voting securities of the Company other than the shares of Common Stock, and options, warrants and other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, set forth on the signature page of this Agreement; (iv) Investors have and will have full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement; (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Investors will not violate any agreement or court order to which the Notes or Shares are subject, including, without limitation, any voting agreement or voting trust; and (vi) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Investors and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Investors, enforceable against Investors in accordance with its terms.
     6. LEGENDING OF SHARES. If so requested by the Company, Investors hereby agree that the Shares shall bear a legend stating that they are subject to this Agreement.
     7. FIDUCIARY DUTIES. Investors are signing this Agreement solely in their capacity as an owner of their respective Shares, and nothing herein shall prohibit, prevent or preclude Mr. Kim from taking or not taking any action in his capacity as an officer or director of the Company.
     8. MISCELLANEOUS.
          (a) Notices. All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and faxed, e-mailed, mailed, or delivered to each party as follows: (i) if to the Investors, at the Investors’ address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth in the Company’s records, or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such Investors shall have furnished the Company in writing, or (ii) if to the Company, at Amkor Technology, Inc., Attn: Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address or facsimile number as the Company shall have furnished to Investors in writing, with a copy to Robert Sanchez, Esq., Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, 650 Page Mill Road, Palo Alto, California 94304.

          (b) Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto. The Company shall not permit the transfer (i) to any Affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of an Investor or (ii) to a person or entity with whom an Investor is part of a group for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of any Shares on the Company’s books or issue a new certificate representing any Shares unless and until the person or entity referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) of this subsection shall have executed a written agreement pursuant to which such person or entity becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all the provisions hereof as if such person or entity was a party hereto.
          (c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the internal laws of the State of Delaware as applied to agreements entered into among Delaware residents to be performed entirely within Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
          (d) Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to sections, paragraphs and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs hereof and exhibits attached hereto.
          (e) Further Assurances. Each party hereto agrees to execute and deliver, by the proper exercise of its corporate, limited liability company, partnership or other powers, all such other and additional instruments (including proxies) and documents and do all such other acts and things as may be necessary to more fully effectuate this Agreement.
          (f) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof.

          (g) Specific Performance.

4


 

covenants relate to matters which are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character that gives each such representation, warranty, covenant and restriction a special, unique, and extraordinary value; and (iii) a breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or restriction, or any other term or provision of this Agreement, will result in irreparable harm and damages to the Company which cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award. Accordingly, the Company and Investors hereby expressly agree that in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to the immediate remedy of specific performance, a temporary and/or permanent restraining order, preliminary injunction, or such other form of injunctive or equitable relief as may be used by any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain or enjoin any of the parties hereto from breaching any representations, warranties, covenants or restrictions set forth in this Agreement, or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof.

          (i) No Waiver. The failure or delay by a party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not in any way be construed as a waiver of any such provision or prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted the parties hereunder are cumulative and will not constitute a waiver of either party’s right to assert any other legal remedy available to it.
          (j) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement, and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement, with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
          (k) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile copies of signed signature pages will be deemed binding originals.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements of the parties herein, the Acquiring Parties and Amkor agree as follows
  1.   Each Acquiring Party hereby agrees that Amkor is entitled to rely on the representations, warranties, agreements and acknowledgements made by each Acquiring Party in Section 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the Letter Agreement as if such Acquiring Party made such representations, warranties, agreements and acknowledgements directly to Amkor. Without limiting the foregoing, each Acquiring Party agrees that, so long as it is an “affiliate” of Amkor (as such term is defined in Rule 144 (as defined below) the Acquiring Party will not sell any Notes that constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 (if available) or (iii) to persons who agree to be bound by the restrictions applicable to such Acquiring Party.
 
  2.   Each Acquiring Party acknowledges and agrees that the Notes purchased by such Acquiring Party and the shares of common stock, par value $0.001, of Amkor (the “Common Stock”) issuable upon conversion of the Notes shall bear a restrictive legend substantially in the following form:
 
      THIS SECURITY AND THE COMMON STOCK, IF ANY, ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THIS SECURITY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF AMKOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. (THE “COMPANY”) THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL, PLEDGE OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THIS SECURITY OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THE LATER OF (X) ONE YEAR AFTER THE LAST ORIGINAL ISSUE DATE HEREOF OR SUCH SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME AS PERMITTED BY RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY SUCCESSOR PROVISION THEREUNDER, AND (Y) SUCH LATER DATE, IF ANY, AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EXCEPT:
  (A)   TO THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR

 


 

  (B)   PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR
 
  (C)   PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED THAT ANY TRANSFEREE SHALL AGREE IN WRITING, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO BE BOUND BY THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS; OR
 
  (D)   A PLEDGE TO AN AFFILIATE OF THE HOLDER SO LONG AS SUCH PLEDGEE AGREES IN WRITING TO BE BOUND BY THE TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN THIS LEGEND AND IN THE AGREEMENT, DATED MARCH 26, 2009, AMONG JAMES J. KIM, 915 INVESTMENTS, LP AND THE COMPANY.
      PRIOR TO THE REGISTRATION OF ANY TRANSFER IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (C) ABOVE, THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH LEGAL OPINIONS, CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE AS MAY BE REASONABLY REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROPOSED TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE SECURITIES ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

  3.   Each Acquiring Party hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Amkor:
  a.   Either (i) no portion of the assets used by such Acquiring Party to acquire and hold the Notes and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes constitutes assets of any employee benefit plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), individual retirement account or other arrangement that is subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any entity whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” on any such plan, account or arrangement, or (ii) the purchase and holding of the Notes and any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes by such Acquiring Party will not constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code;
 
  b.   Such Acquiring Party agrees not to conduct hedging transactions involving the Notes or the underlying shares of Common Stock other than in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and other applicable laws; and
 
  c.   Such Acquiring Party acknowledges that Amkor and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the above acknowledgements, representations and agreements. Such Acquiring Party agrees that if any of the acknowledgements, representations or agreements made herein is no longer accurate, such Acquiring Party will promptly notify Amkor. If either Acquiring Party is purchasing any Notes as a fiduciary or agent for one or more investor accounts, such Acquiring Party represents that it has

 


 

      sole investment discretion with respect to each of those accounts and that it has full power to make the above acknowledgements, representations and agreements on behalf of each account.
  4.   (a) Amkor agrees that if requested by the Acquiring Parties (including transferees thereof bound by the terms of this Agreement) holding a majority of the Notes (or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes) at any time after the first anniversary of the original issuance of the Notes, Amkor will use reasonable efforts to register, as soon as practicable after the receipt of such notice, the resale of those Notes held by any Acquiring Party (or a transferee thereof bound by the terms of this Agreement) that continue to be held by affiliates of the Amkor (and any shares issued upon conversion thereof) on a Shelf Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective and available for effecting resales by such holders until the earlier of (i) such time as such Notes or Common Stock have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 and (ii) four years from the last date of original issuance of any of the Notes, subject to suspension of any such sales during periods when trading is suspended under the Amkor’s board approved trading policy (unless otherwise agreed by Amkor) and upon the occurrence of material events with respect to Amkor not yet fully disclosed in filings incorporated by reference in the registration statement. Amkor shall be obligated to honor only one demand made pursuant to this Section 4(a).
 
      (b) Amkor and the Holders will provide to each other all cooperation as may be reasonably necessary, and shall deliver such instruments, documents or agreements or information, and shall take such actions, as either may reasonably request in order to facilitate the filing and effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement and the intent and purposes of this Section 4.
 
      (c) (i) Amkor agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities and their officers, directors, managers, members, partners and each other Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), as applicable, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Amkor by such Holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after Amkor has furnished such Holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same.
 
      (ii) Each Holder agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, Amkor and its officers and directors, as applicable, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, solely to the extent the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to Amkor by such Holder expressly for use therein.

 


 

      (iii) A person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “indemnified party”) shall (A) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any indemnified party’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (B) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim.
 
      (iii) The indemnification provided for under this agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, manager, member, partner or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. Amkor also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Amkor’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason. Such provisions shall provide that the liability amongst the various persons shall be allocated in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the such persons in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in losses (the relative fault being determined by reference to, among other things, which person supplied the information giving rise to untrue statement or omission and each person’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission) and, only if such allocation is not respected at law, would other equitable considerations, such as the relative benefit received by each person from the sale of the securities, be taken into consideration.
 
      (d) So long as a Holder is an Affiliate of Amkor, such Holder shall not transfer or sell any of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement at any time when either (i) any blackout period under Amkor’s insider trading policy is in effect and applicable to all executive officers of Amkor or (ii) such Holder is in possession of any material non-public information with respect to Amkor.
 
      (h) Amkor will use its reasonable efforts to minimize the occurrence and duration of the periods during which the use of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended.
 
  5.   As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:
 
      Commission” means the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
      Holder” means a holder of Registrable Securities.
 
      Prospectus” means the prospectus included in a Shelf Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus, and any such prospectus as amended or supplemented by any

 


 

      prospectus supplement, including any such prospectus supplement with respect to the terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement, and by all other amendments and supplements to a prospectus, including post-effective amendments, and in each case including all material incorporated by reference therein.
      Registrable Securities” means Notes (and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) that are held by any Acquiring Party or any transferee thereof to the extent such holder is an affiliate of the Company under Rule 144; provided that the Notes (and any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) shall cease to be Registrable Securities upon the earliest of (i) such time as such Notes (or Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof) have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement (including the Shelf Registration Statement) or (ii) with respect to any Note, such Note is no longer outstanding.
 
      Rule 144” means Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, and any successor rule thereto.
 
      Shelf Registration Statement” means a “shelf” registration statement of Amkor pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 hereof which covers some or all of the Notes and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission, amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including post-effective amendments, in each case including the prospectus contained therein, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference therein.
 
  6.   Amkor shall reimburse Mr. James J. Kim for the reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Mr. Kim in connection with the negotiation and purchase of the Notes by Mr. Kim and/or any other Acquiring Party.
 
  7.   This agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the termination of Letter Agreement.
 
  8.   The agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other person shall have any rights or obligations hereunder. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Securities, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this agreement, and such person shall enter into a written agreement with Amkor agreeing to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this agreement, including the restrictions on resale set forth in this agreement and, if applicable, the Purchase Agreement or the Indenture, and upon execution of such written agreement the such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof.
 
  9.   Amkor and each of the Acquiring Parties hereby agrees and acknowledges that any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this agreement (a “Claim”) may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and each Acquiring Party consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect

 


 

      thereto and waives any objection to such venue. Each party hereto waives any right to trial by jury in any action, claim, suit or proceeding with respect to the matters contained herein. Each of the Acquiring Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon such Acquiring Party and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which such Acquiring Party is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.

Amkor Announces Pricing of $240 Million of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014
CHANDLER, Ariz., March 26, 2009 — Amkor Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMKR) today announced that it has priced its offering of $240 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to Mr. James J. Kim, Amkor’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and largest shareholder, and certain entities controlled by Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim and his affiliates have agreed to purchase $150 million of the notes. In connection with such investment, Mr. Kim and his affiliates have agreed to enter into a voting agreement with Amkor restricting the voting of shares of Amkor acquired by Mr. Kim or his affiliates upon conversion of the notes. The offering is expected to close on April 1, 2009, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Amkor also granted to the initial purchasers of the notes an option to purchase up to an additional $10 million aggregate principal amount of notes solely to cover over-allotments.
The notes will be unsecured obligations of Amkor, will be subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of Amkor’s senior debt and will rank equally with all of Amkor’s current and future senior subordinated debt. Interest will be payable semi-annually at a rate of 6.00% per annum on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing October 15, 2009. The notes will be convertible, subject to certain conditions, into shares of Amkor’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 330.6332 shares of common stock per $1,000 aggregate principal amount of notes (which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $3.02 per share), subject to adjustment upon occurrence of certain events. This represents a conversion premium of approximately 15% relative to the closing bid price of Amkor’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on March 26, 2009, which was $2.63.
Amkor expects to use the net proceeds of the offering to repay, repurchase or otherwise retire existing debt and for general corporate purposes.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities (including the shares of Amkor’s common stock into which the notes are convertible), nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
The notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
