definition of Change of Control to require the Issuer to make a Change of Control Offer. In<br />

addition, the existence of the Holder’s right to require the Issuer to repurchase such Holder’s<br />

Notes upon the occurrence of a Change of Control may or may not deter a third party from<br />

seeking to acquire shares of the Company in a transaction that would constitute a Change of<br />

Control.<br />

“Change of Control” means (i) such time as a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of<br />

Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) has become, directly or indirectly, the<br />

“beneficial owner”, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of 50% or more of the voting<br />

power of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) the sale, conveyance, lease or transfer of all or<br />

substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to<br />

any person or group (as defined above); (iii) during any period of two consecutive calendar years,<br />

individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Board of Directors of the<br />

Company (together with any new directors whose election by the Board of Directors of the<br />

Company or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company was approved<br />

by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the<br />

beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so<br />

approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the directors of the Company then in<br />

office, (iv) the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (v)<br />

the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, any Person, or any Person consolidates<br />

with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which<br />

any of the outstanding Voting Stock of the Company or such other Person is converted into or<br />

exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such transaction where the<br />

Voting Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction is converted into<br />

or exchanged for Voting Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the surviving or transferee<br />

Person constituting a majority of the outstanding shares of such Voting Stock of such surviving or<br />

transferee Person (immediately after giving effect to such issuance).<br />

One of the events that constitutes a Change of Control under the Indenture is a sale, conveyance,<br />

lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its Restricted<br />

Subsidiaries taken as a whole. The Indenture will be governed by New York law, and there is no<br />

established quantitative definition under New York law of “substantially all” of the assets of a<br />

corporation. Accordingly, if the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries were to engage in a<br />

transaction in which it or they disposed of less than all of the assets of the Company and its<br />

Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole, a question of interpretation could arise as to whether<br />

such disposition was of “substantially all” of its or their assets, as the case may be, and whether<br />

the Company was required to make a Change of Control Offer.<br />

Asset Sales<br />

The Indenture will provide that the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted<br />

Subsidiaries to, engage in an Asset Sale unless (i) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as<br />

the case may be) receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair<br />

Market Value of the assets or Equity Interests sold or otherwise disposed of and, in the case of a<br />

lease of assets, a lease providing for rent and other conditions which are no less favorable to the<br />

Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) in any material respect than the then<br />

prevailing market conditions (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors which<br />

determination shall be conclusive evidence of compliance with this provision and shall be set<br />

forth in a Board Resolution) and (ii) at least 75% (100% in the case of lease payments) of the<br />

consideration therefor received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of<br />

cash or Cash Equivalents or Replacement Assets. For purposes of this covenant (and not for<br />

purposes of any other provision of the Indenture), the term “cash” shall be deemed to include (x)<br />

any Notes or marketable securities received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary<br />

that are converted into cash or Cash Equivalents promptly but in no event more than 180 days<br />

after the date of the Asset Sale, and (y) any Indebtedness and any other liabilities not<br />

constituting trade or service accounts payable of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (as<br />
