Introductory Note.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the completion by II-VI Incorporated (“II-VI”) of its previously announced acquisition of Finisar Corporation (the “Company”) on September 24, 2019 (the “Closing Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November 8, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among II-VI, Mutation Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI (“Merger Sub”), and the Company, Merger Sub merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and the Company continued as the surviving corporation in the Merger and a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, II-VI, the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), entered into a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 24, 2019 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”). The First Supplemental Indenture supplements the Indenture, dated as of December 21, 2016 (the “Base Indenture” and as supplemented, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee, which governs the Company’s outstanding 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2036 (the “Notes”), currently in an aggregate principal amount outstanding of $575.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, II-VI has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior unsecured basis, the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Company to the holders of the Notes. The First Supplemental Indenture also provides that the right of holders of Notes to convert Notes into cash and/or shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) is changed to a right to convert Notes into cash and/or shares of common stock, no par value, of II-VI (“II-VI Common Stock”), subject to the terms of the Indenture.

Under the terms of the Indenture, the consummation and effectiveness of the Merger on the Closing Date constituted a Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture) and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (as defined in the Indenture). Accordingly, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, each holder of Notes has the right to (i) convert its Notes into cash and/or shares of II-VI Common Stock, at the Company’s option, or (ii) require that the Company repurchase such holder’s Notes for an amount in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes may be redeemed at any time on or after December 22, 2021 in whole or in part at the option of the Company at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. Each holder of Notes also may require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such holder’s outstanding Notes for cash on December 15, 2021, December 15, 2026 and December 15, 2031 at a repurchase price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes will mature on December 15, 2036. Interest on the Notes accrues at 0.50% per annum, paid semi-annually, in arrears, on June 15 and December 15 of each year.

The foregoing is a description of the material terms and conditions of the Indenture and is not a complete discussion of the Indenture. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture, which are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On the Closing Date, II-VI completed its acquisition of the Company through the consummation of the Merger. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of Company Common Stock (excluding any shares of Company Common Stock owned by II-VI, the Company or any of their wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries) was automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive, at the election of the holder of such share of Company Common Stock, consideration consisting of (i) $26.00 in cash, without interest (subject to the proration adjustment procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, the “Cash Consideration”), (ii) 0.5546 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of II-VI Common Stock (subject to the proration adjustment procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement, the “Stock Consideration”), or (iii) a combination of $15.60 in cash, without interest, and 0.2218 validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of II-VI Common Stock (together with the Cash Election Consideration and the Stock Election Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). The per share Cash Election Consideration and Stock Election Consideration were subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement such that the aggregate Merger Consideration consists of approximately 60.0% cash and approximately 40.0% shares of II-VI Common Stock (assuming a per share price of II-VI Common Stock equal to the closing price as of November 8, 2018, which was $46.88 per share) across all shares of Company Common Stock (including Stock Options (as defined below) and Participating RSUs (as defined below)). No fractional shares of II-VI Common Stock are being issued as Merger Consideration, and the Company’s stockholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of II-VI Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each option granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated Finisar Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Finisar 2005 Plan” and each such option, a “Stock Option”) (or portion thereof) that was outstanding and unexercised was automatically cancelled and terminated and converted into the right to receive an amount of Mixed Election Consideration that would be payable to a holder of such number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the product of (a) the excess, if any, of $26.00 over the exercise price per share of such Stock Option multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Stock Option, divided by (ii)


$26.00. Each Stock Option that was outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price per share that is in excess of $26.00 was cancelled and extinguished without any present or future right to receive the Merger Consideration or any other payment.

As of the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit granted pursuant to the Finisar 2005 Plan (each, an “RSU”) (or portion thereof) that was outstanding and subject to a performance-based vesting condition that related solely to the value of Company Common Stock, to the extent such RSU vested in accordance with its terms in connection with the Merger (each a “Participating RSU”), was automatically cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the Cash Election Consideration, the Stock Election Consideration or the Mixed Election Consideration at the election of the holder of such Participating RSU, subject to the proration adjustment procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement. As of the Effective Time, each RSU (or portion thereof) that was outstanding and subject to a performance-based vesting condition that related solely to the value of Company Common Stock but did not vest in accordance with its terms in connection with the Merger was automatically cancelled and extinguished without any right to receive the Merger Consideration or any other payment. Further, at the Effective Time, each RSU (or portion thereof) that was outstanding and unvested and did not vest in accordance with its terms in connection with the Merger and was either (x) subject to time-based vesting requirements only or (y) subject to a performance-based vesting condition other than the value of Company Common Stock was assumed by II-VI (each, an “Assumed RSU”). Each Assumed RSU currently is subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as applied to the related RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the number of shares of II-VI Common Stock subject to such Assumed RSU was adjusted as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In the aggregate, holders of approximately 1.4% of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Participating RSUs elected to receive the Stock Consideration and will receive 0.5546 shares of II-VI Common Stock in respect of each share of Company Common Stock or Participating RSU. In the aggregate, holders of approximately 63.3% of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Participating RSUs elected to receive the Cash Consideration and will receive $15.94 in cash, without interest, and 0.2146 shares of II-VI Common Stock in respect of each share of Company Common Stock or Participating RSU. In the aggregate, holders of approximately 35.3% of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and Participating RSUs elected or were deemed to have elected to receive the Mixed Consideration and will receive $15.60 in cash, without interest, and 0.2218 shares of II-VI Common Stock in respect of each share of Company Common Stock or Participating RSU. II-VI may pay additional cash or issue additional shares of II-VI Common Stock in the future as a result of conversions or repurchases of the Notes or settlements of the Assumed RSUs.

The foregoing description of the Merger and the Merger Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that trading of the Company Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market be suspended prior to the opening of trading on September 24, 2019. In accordance with Nasdaq requirements, trading of the Company Common Stock was suspended immediately following the after-hours session at 8:00 p.m., Eastern time, on September 23, 2019. In addition, the Company requested that Nasdaq file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 to delist the Company Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and deregister the Company Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on Setpember 24, 2019. The Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate the registration of the Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act and to suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act with respect to the Company Common Stock. The disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The disclosures set forth in Items 2.01, 3.01 and 5.03 are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.

As a result of the Merger, a change of control of the Company occurred, and the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of II-VI. The disclosures set forth in Items 2.01, 3.03 and 5.02 are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the consummation of the Merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, all of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time ceased to be directors of the Company at the Effective Time. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time became the directors of the Company at the Effective Time. As of the Effective Time, the sole director of the Company is Mary Jane Raymond. Following the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Walter R. Bashaw II as the President, principal executive officer and principal operating officer of the Company, and Mary Jane Raymond as the Vice President and Treasurer, the principal financial officer and the principal accounting officer of the Company. Information about Mr. Bashaw and Ms. Raymond is contained in Item 1, Business, of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for II-VI’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, which was filed with the SEC on August 16, 2019 and is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1.    Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer or employee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer or employee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and amounts expended in seeking indemnification granted to such person under applicable law, this bylaw or any agreement with the Corporation) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided; however, that, except as provided in Section 2 of this

 

8


Article VI, the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with an action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if (a) such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, (c) such indemnification is provided by the Corporation, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law or (d) the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) is brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under an indemnity agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Such right shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided; however, that, unless the Delaware General Corporation Law then so prohibits, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer of the Corporation in his or her capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is tendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1 of this Article VI or otherwise.

Section 2.    Right of Claimant to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety (90) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if such suit is not frivolous or brought in bad faith, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. The burden of proving such claim shall be on the claimant. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to this Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3.    Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which such persons may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors of otherwise.

Section 4.    Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to enter into a contract with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or, if the Board of Directors so determines, greater than, those provided for in this Article VI.

 

9


Section 5.    Insurance. The Corporation shall maintain insurance to the extent reasonably available, at its expense, to protect itself and any such director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Section 6.    Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI by the stockholders and the directors of the Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 1.    Place and Inspection of Books.

(a)    The books of the Corporation other than such books as are required by law to be kept within the State of Delaware shall be kept in such place or places either within or without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

(b)    The Corporation shall prepare, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date), arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting at least 10 days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 1(b) of Article VII or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

(c)    The Board of Directors shall determine from time to time whether and, if allowed, when and under what conditions and regulations the accounts and books of the Corporation (except such as may be by law specifically open to inspection or as otherwise provided by these Bylaws) or any of them shall be open to the inspection of the stockholders and the stockholders’ rights in respect thereof.

 

10


Section 2.    Waivers of Notice. Any waiver of notice, given by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in a waiver of notice.

Section 3.    Voting Shares in Other Corporations. The President or any other officer of the Corporation designated by the Board of Directors may vote any and all shares held by the Corporation in any other corporation.

Section 4.    Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such fiscal year as the Board of Directors from time to time by resolution shall determine.

Section 5.    Gender/Number. As used in these Bylaws, the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, and the singular and plural number, shall each include the other whenever the context so indicates.

Section 6.    Paragraph Titles. The titles of the paragraphs have been inserted as a matter of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms and provisions hereof.

Section 7.    Amendment. These Bylaws may be altered, amended or repealed, and new bylaws made, by the Board of Directors or by the stockholders of the Corporation.

Section 8.    Certificate of Incorporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any provision contained in these Bylaws is inconsistent with or conflicts with a provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, such provision of these Bylaws shall be superseded by the inconsistent provision in the Certificate of Incorporation to the extent necessary to give effect to such provision in the Certificate of Incorporation.

This provision, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of Interest upon all Securities and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of Interest (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) and on such principal and premium, if any, at the rate borne by the Securities, to the date of such payment or deposit) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06, and if any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal of and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, on Securities which shall have become due by acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 5.08, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults or Events of Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the holders of Securities, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the holders of Securities, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

ARTICLE 16

GUARANTEE OF NOTES

Section 16.01. Unconditional Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article 16 and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, on a senior basis to each holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the Company to the holders of the Securities or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder: (a) (x) the due and punctual payment of the principal of (including any Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, if any, and Interest on the Securities when and as the same shall become due and

 

12


payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, (y) the due and punctual payment of Interest on the overdue principal and (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) overdue premium, if any, and Interest, if any, on the Securities and (z) the due and punctual payment and performance of all other obligations of the Company to the holders of the Securities or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder (including, without limitation, the payment and/or delivery of the cash, shares of II-VI Common Stock or combination thereof due upon conversion of the Securities and amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06 hereof), all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof (collectively, the “Guarantee Obligations”); and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations, the due and punctual payment and performance of Guarantee Obligations in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment and/or delivery, as the case may be, by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the holders of the Securities under this Indenture or under the Securities, for whatever reason, the Guarantor shall be obligated to pay and/or deliver, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that (to the fullest extent permitted by law) its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same. The Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If any holder of Securities or the Trustee is required by any court or governmental authority to return to the Company or to the Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid or delivered by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee or such holder of Securities, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the holders of Securities and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article 16, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 5 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

 

13


Section 16.02. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Securities, each holder of Securities, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the holders of Securities and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 16 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, result in the obligations of the Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Article 16 not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under such laws.

Section 16.03. Release of the Guarantee. The Guarantee will be automatically released upon:

(a)     the sale of all or substantially all of the Guarantor’s assets to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, so long as the sale or other disposition does not violate any provisions of Article 10 herein required to be performed at the time of such transaction;

(b)    the satisfaction and discharge in full of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(c)    in connection with the dissolution or liquidation of the Guarantor.

As a condition precedent to any such release of the Guarantee, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture relating to such release have been complied with.

Section 16.04. Waiver of Subrogation. Until all amounts then due and payable and/or deliverable by the Company under this Indenture or the Securities have been paid and/or delivered in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Securities or this Indenture and the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the holders of Securities against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid or delivered to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the

 

14


Trustee or the holders of Securities under the Securities or this Indenture, shall not have been paid or delivered in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid or delivered to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the holders of Securities and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such holders of Securities to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the holders of Securities, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 16.04 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 16.05. No Set Off. Each payment or delivery to be made by the Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Guarantee Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guarantee Obligations are denominated or deliverable in the consideration in which such Guarantee Obligations shall be delivered hereunder, as the case may be, and shall be made without set off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 16.06. Guarantee Obligations Continuing. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. The Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as the Trustee may reasonably request and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of the Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of the Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or reasonably advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of the Guarantor hereunder.

Section 16.07. Guarantee Obligations Not Reduced. Subject to Section 16.03, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged solely by the payment and/or delivery of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees, consideration due upon conversion and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 11 be or become owing or payable or deliverable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Securities or this Indenture.

Section 16.08. Guarantee Obligations Reinstated. Subject to Section 16.03, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or delivery which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or reclaimed from any of the

 

15


holders of Securities upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment or delivery had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment or delivery by the Company is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or delivery or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable or deliverable, as the case may be, by the Guarantor as provided herein.

Section 16.09. Guarantee Obligations Not Affected. Subject to Section 16.03, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment or delivery hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any of the holders of Securities) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against the Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the holders of Securities or otherwise, including, without limitation:

(a)     any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Company or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company or any other Person;

(b)    any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Securities or any other document or instrument;

(c)    any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities, or to give notice thereof to the Guarantor;

(f)    any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Securities, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Securities or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities;

 

16


(g)    any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or the Guarantor;

(j)    any other circumstance (other than a release of the Guarantor pursuant to Section 13.03 and other than by complete, irrevocable payment and/or delivery, as the case may be) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities or of the Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

Section 16.10. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 16.01, the Guarantor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of the Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the holders of Securities upon the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment or non-delivery of any of the Guarantee Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company or the Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

Section 16.11. No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Company or any other Person or any property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment, delivery and/or performance by the Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations under its Guarantee or under this Indenture.

Section 16.12. Dealing with the Company and Others. The holders of Securities and the Trustee, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to the Guarantor, may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

Section 3.02.    Adjustments to Conversion Rate. As and to the extent required by Section 15.03 of the Indenture, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted as a result of events occurring subsequent to the date hereof with respect to the Reference Property as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Article 15 of the Indenture with respect to the Common Stock.
