Offer to Repurchase

   If we experience a Change of Control (as defined below) and the notes are rated below Investment Grade by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we will offer to repurchase all of the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

Change of Control:

  

Change of Control means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

(1)    the direct or indirect sale, transfer, conveyance or other disposition (other than by way of merger or consolidation), in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of our properties or assets and those of our subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), other than us or one of our wholly owned subsidiaries;

 

(2)    the adoption of a plan relating to our liquidation or dissolution;


    

(3)    the consummation of any transaction (including, without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), other than us, one of our wholly owned subsidiaries or any person who holds more than 50% of our Voting Stock as of the date of the final prospectus supplement for the notes or any member of his, her or its immediate family (as that term is defined in Rule 16a-1(e) of the Exchange Act) (provided that this exception does not include any transaction in which public stockholders cease to own Voting Stock entitling public stockholders to elect the same percentage of the members of our board of directors as public stockholders are entitled to elect on the date of the final prospectus supplement for the notes), becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of our Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares; or

 

(4)    the first day on which a majority of the members of our board of directors are not Continuing Directors.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction effected to create a holding company for us will not be deemed to involve a Change of Control if (1) pursuant to such transaction we become a wholly owned subsidiary of such holding company and (2) the holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following such transaction are the same as the holders of our Voting Stock immediately prior to such transaction.
