Upon becoming aware of, and as of such time that CEDC should reasonably have become aware of, a Default or Event of Default, the CEDC shall deliver to the Trustee promptly and in any event with 14 days of the occurrence of such Default a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, as the case may be, their status and what action CEDC is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.

An Officer (whom shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions) shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Note was an Officer at the time of such execution but no longer holds that office or position at the time the Trustee (or the Authenticating Agent) authenticates the Note, the Note shall be valid nevertheless. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such signature as authentic and shall be under no obligation to make any investigation in relation thereto.

A Note shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee, or, as the case may be, an Authenticating Agent signs (either manually or by facsimile) the certificate of authentication on the Note. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note has been authenticated under the Indenture.

There will be no proceeds from the issuance of the New Convertible Notes because the New Secured Notes will be part of the consideration exchanged for the Existing 2016 Notes.

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

 

12


The New Convertible Notes Indenture and the Security Documents provide that the liens on the Collateral will be released:

 

  (i) in connection with any sale or other disposition of Collateral if the sale or other disposition does not violate Section 4.12(a) ( Asset Sales ) of the New Convertible Notes Indenture and, if the Collateral is stock of a Guarantor, in connection with any merger, consolidation, amalgamation or other combination in which such Guarantor is not the surviving corporation if the transaction does not violate Section 4.20 ( Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets ) of the New Convertible Notes Indenture;

 

  (ii) if the Collateral is an asset of a Guarantor (or one of its Subsidiaries) that is to be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, upon designation of the Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 4.25 ( Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries ) of the New Convertible Notes Indenture;

 

  (iii) if the Collateral is an asset of a Guarantor (or one of its Subsidiaries) that is to be released from its Guarantee pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, upon release of the Guarantor from its Guarantee;

 

  (iv) in accordance with the Security Documents and/or Intercreditor Agreements (as in effect on the Issue Date or as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified after the Issue Date) upon the occurrence of an enforcement action;

 

  (v) upon legal defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Notes in accordance with Section 8.2 ( Legal Defeasance and Discharge ) of the New Convertible Notes Indenture or Section 8.5 ( Satisfaction and Discharge of the Indenture ) of the New Convertible Notes Indenture;

 

  (vi) as described in Article IX (Amendments, Supplements and Waiver) of the New Convertible Notes Indenture.

Upon compliance by the Company and each Guarantor with the conditions precedent required by the New Secured Notes Indenture and the Security Documents, the relevant Security Agent shall promptly cause to be released and reconveyed to the Company and each Guarantor as appropriate any released Collateral. Prior to each proposed release, the Company must furnish to the Security Agent all certificates, opinions and documents required by the Indenture, the Security Documents and the Trust Indenture Act.

(d) Satisfaction and Discharge of the New Convertible Notes Indenture

The New Convertible Notes Indenture (and all Liens on Collateral created pursuant to the Security Documents) and the Guarantees shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes as expressly provided for in this Indenture) as to all Notes issued hereunder when:

(a) either (i) all Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment U.S. dollars has been deposited in

 

13


trust and thereafter repaid to the Issuer, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or otherwise or will become due and payable within one year and the Defeasor, the Parent or any other Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash denominated in dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in dollars, non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption;

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to which the Issuer or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuer or any Guarantor is bound;

(c) the Issuer, the Parent or any other Guarantor has paid, or caused to be paid, all sums payable under this Indenture; and

(d) the Issuer has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to give the notice of redemption and apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the Redemption Date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Defeasor and the Parent must deliver an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

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

CEDC shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year or at any time at the request of the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate a statement regarding compliance with all conditions and covenants under the New Secured Notes Indenture. Upon becoming aware of, and as of such time that CEDC should reasonably have become aware of, a Default or Event of Default, the CEDC shall deliver to the Trustee promptly and in any event with 14 days of the occurrence of such Default a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default, as the case may be, their status and what action CEDC is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof.
