INDENTURE SECURITIES
Item 8. Analysis of Indenture Provisions.
Senior Notes
The following is a general description of certain provisions of the indenture governing the Senior
Notes (the Senior Notes Indenture) to be qualified. The description is qualified in its entirety
by reference to the form of Senior Note Indenture filed as Exhibit T3C-1 hereto. Capitalized terms
used below and not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Senior Notes
Indenture.
(a) Events of Default; Withholding of Notice
Each of the following events will constitute an Event of Default under the Senior Notes
Indenture: (1) the Applicants failure to pay when due the principal of or premium, if any, on any
of the Senior Notes at maturity, upon redemption or exercise of a repurchase right or otherwise;
(2) the Applicants failure to pay an installment of interest on any of the Senior Notes that
continues for 30 days after the date when due; (3) the Applicants failure to perform or observe
any other term, covenant or agreement contained in the Senior Notes or the Senior Notes Indenture
for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Applicant to remedy the
same, shall have been given to the Applicant by the Trustee or to the Applicant and the Trustee by
the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding; (4)
the Applicants failure to give the notice required by the Senior Notes Indenture regarding any
Change in Control or Asset Sale Offer within the time period prescribed by the Senior Notes
Indenture after the occurrence of such Change in Control or Asset Sale; (5) (A) one or more
defaults in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Applicants or its
Restricted Subsidiaries Indebtedness aggregating $5.0 million or more, when the same becomes due
and payable at the scheduled maturity thereof, and such default or defaults shall have continued
after any applicable grace period and shall not have been cured or waived within a thirty day
period after the date of such default or (B) any of the Applicants or its Restricted Subsidiaries
Indebtedness aggregating $5.0 million or more shall have been accelerated or otherwise declared due
and payable, or required to be prepaid or repurchased (other than by regularly scheduled required
payment) prior to the scheduled maturity thereof and such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled
within a thirty day period after the date of such acceleration; (6) final unsatisfied judgments not
covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $5.0 million rendered against the Applicant or its
Restricted Subsidiaries and not stayed, bonded or discharged within 60 days; (7) certain events of
the Applicants bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or that of any of its Significant
Subsidiaries, including the Applicants filing of a voluntary petition seeking liquidation,
reorganization arrangement, readjustment of debts or for any other relief under the federal
bankruptcy code; or (8) one or more defaults under the Senior Convertible Notes Indenture with
respect to the Senior Convertible Notes should have occurred and be continuing.
6
The Senior Notes Indenture provides that the Trustee shall, within 90 days of the occurrence
of an Event of Default, give to the registered holders of the Senior Notes notice of all uncured
defaults known to it, but the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if it, in good
faith, determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of such registered
holders, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, any of the Senior Notes when due or in the payment of any redemption or repurchase
obligation.
If an Event of Default with respect to certain events of the Applicants bankruptcy occurs and
is continuing, then automatically the principal of all the Senior Notes and the accrued and unpaid
interest thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, other than with respect to the Applicants bankruptcy, the default not having been
cured or waived, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Notes then outstanding may declare the Senior Notes due and payable at their principal
amount together with accrued and unpaid interest, and thereupon the Trustee may, at its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the holders of Senior Notes by appropriate judicial
proceedings. Such declaration may, upon certain conditions, be rescinded or annulled with the
written consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then
outstanding.
The Trustee, subject to the duty of the Trustee during default to act with the required
standard of care, is entitled to be indemnified by the holders of Senior Notes before proceeding to
exercise any right or power under the Senior Notes Indenture at the request of such holders. The
Senior Notes Indenture provides that, subject to certain limitations, the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes then outstanding through their written consent may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee.
(b) Authentication and Delivery of Notes; Use of Proceeds
The Senior Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Applicant by any Officer, under its
corporate seal impressed or reproduced thereon. The signature of the Officer on the Senior Notes
may be manual or by facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at the time of the execution of the Senior Notes proper Officers of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices
prior to the authentication and delivery of such Senior Notes or did not hold such offices at the
date of authentication of such Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes will not be valid until an authorized representative of the Trustee manually
signs the certificate of authentication on the Senior Notes. The signature will be conclusive
evidence that the Senior Notes have been authenticated under the Senior Notes Indenture.
Senior Notes offered and exchanged shall be issued, initially in the form of a Global Note in
registered form, which shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for, and registered in the
name of, The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, and shall be duly executed by the Applicant
and authenticated by the Trustee. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Note may from time
to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee and the
Depositary.
The Applicant will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes because the
Senior Notes are being issued as part of an exchange for Existing Notes.
(c) Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the Senior Notes Indenture
The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Applicant. As such, the Senior Notes are
not secured by any lien on any property.
(d) Satisfaction and Discharge
The Applicant may discharge its obligations under the Senior Notes Indenture while Senior
Notes remain outstanding, subject to certain conditions, if (1) all outstanding Senior Notes will
become due and payable at their
7
scheduled maturity within 60 days or (2) all outstanding Senior Notes are scheduled for
redemption within 60 days, and, in either case, the Applicant has deposited with the Trustee for
the purpose of making such principal or redemption payment an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge all outstanding Senior Notes on the date of their scheduled maturity or the scheduled
date of redemption.
(e) Evidence Required to be Furnished by the Applicant to the Trustee as to Compliance with the
Conditions and Covenants contained in the Senior Notes Indenture
The Applicant shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
of the Applicant (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2006) an Officers
Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in
default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Senior Notes Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice) and if the
Applicant shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.
Senior Convertible Notes
The following is a general description of certain provisions of the indenture governing the Senior
Convertible Notes (the Senior Convertible Notes Indenture) to be qualified. The description is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Senior Convertible Notes Indenture filed as
Exhibit T3C-2 hereto. Capitalized terms used below and not defined herein have the same meanings
given to such terms in the Senior Convertible Notes Indenture.
(a) Events of Default; Withholding of Notice
Each of the following events will constitute an Event of Default under the Senior Convertible
Notes Indenture: (1) the Applicants failure to pay when due the principal of or premium, if any,
on any of the Senior Convertible Notes at maturity, upon redemption or exercise of a repurchase
right or otherwise; (2) the Applicants failure to pay an installment of interest on any of the
Senior Convertible Notes that continues for 30 days after the date when due; (3) the Applicants
failure to deliver shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock or common stock, as applicable,
together with cash in lieu of fractional shares, if any, when such shares or cash are required to
be delivered for conversion of a Senior Convertible Note and such failure continues for 10 days
after such delivery date; (4) the Applicants failure to perform or observe any other term,
covenant or agreement contained in the Senior Convertible Notes or the Senior Convertible Notes
Indenture for a period of 30 days after written notice of such failure, requiring the Applicant to
remedy the same, shall have been given to the Applicant by the Trustee or to the Applicant and the
Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible
Notes then outstanding; (5) the Applicants failure to give the notice required by the Senior
Convertible Notes Indenture regarding any offer to purchase upon a Change in Control within the
time period prescribed by the Senior Convertible Notes Indenture after the occurrence of such
Change in Control; (6) (A) one or more defaults in the payment of principal of or premium, if any,
on any of the Applicants or its Subsidiaries Indebtedness aggregating $5.0 million or more, when
the same becomes due and payable at the scheduled maturity thereof, and such default or defaults
shall have continued after any applicable grace period and shall not have cured or waived within a
thirty day period after the date of such default or (B) any of the Applicants or its Subsidiaries
Indebtedness aggregating $5.0 million or more shall have been accelerated or otherwise declared due
and payable, or required to be prepaid or repurchased (other than by regularly scheduled required
payment) prior to the scheduled maturity thereof and such acceleration is not rescinded or annulled
within a thirty day period after the date of such acceleration; (7) final unsatisfied judgments not
covered by insurance aggregating in excess of $5.0 million rendered against the Applicant or any of
its subsidiaries and not stayed, bonded or discharged within 60 days; or (8) certain events of the
Applicants bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or that of any of its Significant
Subsidiaries, including the Applicants filing of a voluntary petition seeking liquidation,
reorganization arrangement, readjustment of debts or for any other relief under the federal
bankruptcy code.
The Senior Convertible Notes Indenture provides that the Trustee shall, within 90 days of the
occurrence of an Event of Default, give to the registered holders of the Senior Convertible Notes
notice of all uncured defaults known to it, but the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
notice if it, in good faith, determines that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest
of such registered holders, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
8
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Senior Convertible Notes when due
or in the payment of any redemption or repurchase obligation.
If an Event of Default with respect to certain events of the Applicants bankruptcy occurs and
is continuing, then automatically the principal of all the Senior Convertible Notes and the accrued
and unpaid interest thereon shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, other than with respect to the Applicants bankruptcy, and the default has
not been cured or waived, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Senior Convertible Notes then outstanding may declare the Senior Convertible Notes due and
payable at their principal amount together with accrued and unpaid interest, and thereupon the
Trustee may, at its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the holders of Senior
Convertible Notes by appropriate judicial proceedings. Such declaration may, upon certain
conditions, be rescinded or annulled with the written consent of the holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes then outstanding.
The Senior Convertible Notes Indenture contains a provision entitling the Trustee, subject to
the duty of the
Trustee during default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified by the
holders of Senior Convertible Notes before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the
Senior Convertible Notes Indenture at the request of such holders. The Senior Convertible Notes
Indenture provides that, subject to certain limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Convertible Notes then outstanding through their written consent may
direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee.
(b) Authentication and Delivery of Notes; Use of Proceeds
The Senior Convertible Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Applicant by any Officer,
under its corporate seal impressed or reproduced thereon. The signature of the Officer on the
Senior Convertible Notes may be manual or by facsimile. Notes bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at the time of the execution of the Senior Convertible Notes
proper Officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Senior
Convertible Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of authentication of such Senior
Convertible Notes.
The Senior Convertible Notes will not be valid until an authorized representative of the
Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Senior Convertible Notes. The
signature will be conclusive evidence that the Senior Convertible Notes have been authenticated
under the Senior Convertible Notes Indenture.
Senior Convertible Notes offered and exchanged shall be issued, initially in the form of a
Global Note in registered form, which shall be deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for, and
registered in the name of, The Depository Trust Company or its nominee, and shall be duly executed
by the Applicant and authenticated by the Trustee. The aggregate principal amount of the Global
Note may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Trustee and the Depositary.
The Applicant will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes
because the Senior Convertible Notes are being issued as part of an exchange for Existing Notes.
(c) Release and Substitution of Property Subject to the Lien of the Indenture
The Senior Convertible Notes are unsecured obligations of the Applicant. As such, the Senior
Convertible Notes are not secured by any lien on any property.
(d) Satisfaction and Discharge
The Applicant may discharge its obligations under the Senior Convertible Notes Indenture while
Senior Convertible Notes remain outstanding, subject to certain conditions, if (1) all outstanding
Senior Convertible Notes will become due and payable at their scheduled maturity within 60 days or
(2) all outstanding Senior Convertible Notes are scheduled for redemption within 60 days, and, in
either case, the Applicant has deposited with the Trustee
9
for the purpose of making such principal or redemption payment an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge all outstanding Senior Convertible Notes on the date of their scheduled maturity or the
scheduled date of redemption.
(e) Evidence Required to be Furnished by the Applicant to the Trustee as to Compliance with the
Conditions and Covenants Contained in the Indenture
The Applicant shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year
of the Applicant (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2006) an Officers
Certificate, stating whether or not to the knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in
default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Senior Convertible Notes Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice)
and if the Applicant shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status
thereof of which they may have knowledge.
Item 9. Other Obligors
The Applicants obligations with respect to the New Senior Notes and New Senior Convertible
Notes will not be guaranteed by a third person or entity.
