PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION

Financial Reporting Cycle

Beginning with the 2017 fiscal year, MVW changed our financial reporting cycle to a calendar year-end and end-of-month quarterly reporting cycle. Accordingly, our 2017 fiscal year began on December 31, 2016 (the day after the end of the 2016 fiscal year) and ended on December 31, 2017. The 2018 fiscal year began on January 1, 2018 and ended on December 31, 2018 and MVW’s future fiscal years will likewise begin on January 1 and end on December 31. Prior to the 2017 fiscal year, MVW’s fiscal year was a 52 or 53-week fiscal year that ended on the Friday nearest to December 31. As a result of the change in our financial reporting cycle, MVW’s 2018 fiscal year had one less day of activity than our 2017 fiscal year and one more day of activity than each of our 2016, 2015 and 2014 fiscal years.

Accounting Treatment

The Combination Transactions (as defined herein) were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). This means that MVW allocated the purchase price to the fair value of ILG’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities at the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price being recorded as goodwill.

Our Business

We are a leading global vacation company that offers vacation ownership, exchange, rental and resort and property management, along with related businesses, products and services. Our business operates in two reportable segments: Vacation Ownership and Exchange & Third-Party Management.

As of March 31, 2019, our Vacation Ownership segment had more than 100 resorts and over 660,000 owners and members of a diverse portfolio that includes seven vacation ownership brands licensed under exclusive, long-term relationships with Marriott International and Hyatt. We are the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer, seller and manager of vacation ownership and related products under the Marriott Vacation Club, Grand Residences by Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, and Hyatt Residence Club brands, as well as under Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, an extension to the Marriott Vacation Club brand. We are also the exclusive worldwide developer, marketer and seller of vacation ownership and related products under The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brand. We have the non-exclusive right to develop, market and sell whole ownership residential products under The Ritz-Carlton Residences brand and have a license to use the St. Regis brand for specified fractional ownership resorts.

Our Vacation Ownership segment generates most of its revenues from four primary sources: selling vacation ownership products; managing vacation ownership resorts, clubs and owners’ associations; financing consumer purchases of vacation ownership products; and renting vacation ownership inventory.

As of March 31, 2019, our Exchange & Third-Party Management segment included exchange networks and membership programs comprised of more than 3,200 resorts in over 80 nations and nearly two million members,

as well as management of more than 180 other resorts and lodging properties. We provide these services through a variety of brands including Interval International, Trading Places International, Vacation Resorts International, and Aqua-Aston. Exchange & Third-Party Management segment revenue generally is fee-based and derived from membership, exchange and rental transactions, property and owners’ association management, and other related products and services.

Our strategic goal is to further strengthen our leadership position in the vacation ownership industry through initiatives to drive profitable revenue growth, maximize cash flow and optimize our capital structure, including by selectively pursuing capital efficient vacation ownership deal structures, focus on the satisfaction of our owners and guests and the engagement of our associates, transform our business while integrating the recent acquisition of ILG, and selectively pursue compelling new business opportunities. We believe that we have significant competitive advantages, including our scale and global reach, the quality and strength of our brands, our system of high-quality resorts, our loyal and highly satisfied customer base, our capital efficient business model, our long-standing track record and our experienced management team and engaged associates.

Organizational Structure

The organization of MVW and our principal indebtedness (simplified) as of March 31, 2019 are illustrated in the chart below.

 

LOGO

 

(1) 

MVW is the issuer of $230 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2022 (the “Convertible Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of September 25, 2017, by and between MVW and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. MVW guarantees the Credit Facilities, the Original Notes and the Existing ILG Notes (defined below).

(2) 

Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. will be an Issuer of the New Notes.

(3) 

ILG, LLC will be an Issuer of the New Notes.

(4) 

Interval Acquisition Corp. (“IAC”) is the issuer of the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Existing ILG Notes”) issued pursuant to that certain Indenture, dated as of April 10, 2015 (the “Existing ILG Indenture”), by and among IAC, as the issuer, ILG, as the parent guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto from time to time and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time. On July 26, 2018, MVW launched (i) an exchange offer (the “ILG Notes Exchange Offer”) for the Existing ILG Notes for the Original 2023 Notes and cash and (ii) a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders of the Existing ILG Notes to certain amendments to the indenture governing the Existing ILG Notes. On September 4, 2018, MVW the settled the ILG Notes Exchange Offer. On September 4, 2018, MORI and ILG issued $88,165,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Original 2023 Notes and paid approximately $881,650 (or $10.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Existing ILG Notes) as a cash payment for the Existing ILG Notes accepted for exchange. Because consents of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing ILG Notes were not received

Table of Contents
  in the Consent Solicitation, ILG became a co-issuer of the Original Notes rather than a subsidiary guarantor of the Original Notes.

On September 14, 2018, IAC commenced an offer to purchase any and all of the Existing ILG Notes for cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Existing ILG Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. On October 19, 2018, IAC repurchased the $121,898,000 in aggregate principal amount of Existing ILG Notes tendered for $123,193,166. As of March 31, 2019, $139,937,000 in aggregate principal amount of Existing ILG Notes remained outstanding.

Background to the Exchange Offers

We are offering to issue New Notes in a registered exchange offer in exchange for a like principal amount, like interest rate and maturity and like denomination of our Original Notes. We are offering to issue these New Notes to satisfy our obligations under registration rights agreements that we entered into with the initial purchasers of the Original 2026 Notes and the dealer managers for the ILG Notes Exchange Offer when we issued the Original Notes in transactions that were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. You may tender your Original Notes for exchange by following the procedures described under the caption “The Exchange Offers.”

 

  The Exchange Offers are only being made for those Original Notes that were issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act and which are identified by the CUSIP numbers identified above.

 

Tenders; Expiration Date; Withdrawal

The Exchange Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on             , 2019, which is 20 business days from the date this prospectus is declared effective, unless we extend such date for either Exchange Offer. If you decide to exchange your Original Notes for New Notes, you must acknowledge that you are not engaging in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the New Notes. You may withdraw any Original Notes that you tender for exchange at any time prior to the expiration of the applicable Exchange Offer. If we decide for any reason not to accept any Original Notes you have tendered for exchange, those Original Notes will be returned to you without cost promptly after the expiration or termination of the Exchange Offers. See “The Exchange Offers—Terms of the Exchange Offers” for a more complete description of the tender and withdrawal procedures.

 

Accrued Interest on the New Notes and the Original Notes

The New 2023 Notes will bear interest from March 15, 2019. The New 2026 Notes will bear interest from April 15, 2019.

Conditions to the Exchange Offers

The Exchange Offers are subject to customary conditions, some of which we may waive. See “The Exchange Offers—Conditions” for a description of the conditions. Other than the federal securities laws, we are not subject to federal or state regulatory requirements in connection with the Exchange Offers.

 

Certain Federal Income Tax Considerations

The exchange of Original Notes for New Notes in the Exchange Offers will not be a taxable event for United States federal income tax purposes. See “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

 

2023 Notes Exchange Agent

HSBC Bank USA, National Association is serving as the exchange agent with respect to the 2023 Notes (the “2023 Notes Exchange Agent”).

 

2026 Notes Exchange Agent

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is serving as the exchange agent with respect to the 2026 Notes (the “2026 Notes Exchange Agent” together with the 2023 Notes Exchange Agent, the “Exchange Agents” and each an “Exchange Agent”).

 

Use of Proceeds

We will not receive any proceeds from the Exchange Offers.

 

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Your Original Notes

Original Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer that are described in the legend on those Notes. In general, you may offer or sell your Original Notes only if such offer or sale is registered under, or such Original Notes are offered or sold under an exemption from, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We, however, will have no further obligation to issue Notes in a registered Exchange Offer in exchange for the Original Notes. If you do not participate in the Exchange Offers, the liquidity of your Original Notes could be adversely affected.

 

Consequences of Exchanging Your Original Notes

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC, we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the New Notes that we issue in the Exchange Offers without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act if you:

 

   

acquire the New Notes issued in the Exchange Offers in the ordinary course of your business;

 

   

are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or undertaking with anyone to participate, in the distribution of the New Notes issued to you in the Exchange Offers; and

 

   

are not an “affiliate” of MORI or ILG as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act.

Table of Contents

If any of these conditions is not satisfied and you transfer any New Notes issued to you in the Exchange Offers without delivering a proper prospectus or without qualifying for a registration exemption, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We will not be responsible for or indemnify you against any liability you may incur.

Any broker-dealer that acquires New Notes in the Exchange Offers for its own account in exchange for Original Notes which it acquired through market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus when it resells or transfers any New Notes issued in the Exchange Offers. See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of the prospectus delivery obligations of broker-dealers in the Exchange Offers.

Guarantees

The New Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis (the “Note Guarantees”) by MVW and all of MVW’s subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Facilities and, in the future, by each of MVW’s subsidiaries (other than receivables subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries) that becomes a borrower or a guarantor under a credit facility or other capital markets debt securities of the Issuers or any guarantor of the Notes.

 

  Under certain circumstances, subsidiary guarantors may be released from their note guarantees without the consent of the holders of the Notes. See “Description of 2023 Notes—Note Guarantees” and ““Description of 2026 Notes—Note Guarantees.”

 

Ranking

The New Notes and the Note Guarantees will be the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations, respectively, and will:

be senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Issuers and the Guarantors;

 

   

be effectively junior to all of the Issuers’ and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and

 

   

be structurally subordinated to any existing and future obligations of any of MVW’s subsidiaries that are not Guarantors of the New Notes.

 

  As of March 31, 2019:

 

   

we had approximately $3,955 million of total gross indebtedness.

The New Notes are new issuances of securities for which there is currently no market. We do not intend to apply for the New Notes to be listed on any securities exchange or to arrange for any quotation system to quote them. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that liquid markets will develop or be maintained.

 

Risk Factors

See “Risk Factors” and other information included and incorporated by reference in this prospectus for a discussion of risks associated with an investment in the New Notes, which should be carefully considered before deciding to continue your investment in the Notes or to tender your Original Notes in exchange for the New Notes.

RISK FACTORS

The New Notes, like the Original Notes, entail the following risks. You should carefully consider these risk factors, as well as the other information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report, before making a decision to continue your investment in the Notes or to tender your Original Notes in exchange for the New Notes. The risk factors set forth below add to and update certain of the risk factors set forth in the Annual Report. In this prospectus, when we refer to “Notes,” we are referring to both the Original Notes and the New Notes. Any of the following risks and those in the documents incorporated by reference herein could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, the risks described below and in the documents incorporated by reference herein are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. In such a case, we may not be able to make payments of principal and interest on the Notes, and you may lose all or part of your original investment.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness, the Exchange Offers and the New Notes

MVW has significant indebtedness, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, including by decreasing our business flexibility, as well as our ability to meet payment obligations under the Notes and our other indebtedness.

As of March 31, 2019, MVW had approximately $3,955 million of total gross indebtedness. In the future, MVW could increase the amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facilities by up to an amount equal to (i) the greater of $750 million and 100% of MVW’s Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facilities) plus (ii) voluntary prepayments of loans and voluntary permanent commitment reductions under the Credit Facilities and certain other reductions of debt plus (iii) additional amounts as long as the incurrence of such additional amounts would not exceed certain leverage ratios, in each case subject to securing additional commitments and certain other conditions.

The indentures that govern the Notes and the agreements governing the Credit Facilities and MVW’s other indebtedness impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which among other things limit the ability of MVW and certain of our subsidiaries to incur debt, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, make loans and investments, incur liens, sell assets, enter into affiliate transactions, enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants and restrictions limit how MVW’s business is conducted. In addition, MVW is required to maintain a specified leverage ratio under the terms of the credit agreement that governs the Credit Facilities. The terms of any future indebtedness MVW may incur could include more restrictive covenants. MVW may not be able to maintain compliance with these covenants and, if we fail to do so, we may not be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants. MVW’s failure to comply with the restrictive covenants described above as well as others contained in our debt instruments from time to time could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in MVW being required to repay such indebtedness before its due date or to have to negotiate amendments to or waivers thereof, which may have unfavorable terms or result in the incurrence of additional fees and expenses.

The Existing ILG Indenture imposes operating and financial restrictions, which among other things limit the ability of MVW, ILG and certain of ILG’s subsidiaries to incur debt, pay dividends and make other restricted payments, make loans and investments, incur liens, sell assets, enter into affiliate transactions, enter into agreements restricting certain subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets. These covenants and restrictions limit how MVW, ILG and ILG’s subsidiaries can interact with the rest of MVW.

The ability of MVW to make scheduled cash payments on and to refinance our indebtedness, including the Notes, the Credit Facilities and the Existing ILG Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on

Table of Contents

our ability to generate significant operating cash flow in the future, which, to a significant extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. MVW may not be able to maintain a sufficient level of cash flow from operating activities to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or our other indebtedness.

MVW’s level of debt, together with the covenants included in the agreements governing such indebtedness, among other things:

 

   

requires MVW to dedicate a large portion of our cash flow from operations to servicing and repayment of debt;

 

   

reduces funds available for strategic initiatives and opportunities, dividends, share repurchases, working capital and other general corporate needs;

 

   

limits MVW’s ability to incur certain kinds or amounts of additional indebtedness, which could restrict MVW’s flexibility to react to changes in MVW’s business, industry and economic conditions and increase borrowing costs;

 

   

creates competitive disadvantages relative to other companies with lower debt levels; and

 

   

increases our vulnerability to the impact of adverse economic and industry conditions.

In addition, MVW’s credit ratings will impact the cost and availability of future borrowings and, accordingly, MVW’s cost of capital. Downgrades in MVW’s ratings could adversely affect MVW’s businesses, cash flows, financial condition, operating results and share and debt prices, as well as our obligations with respect to MVW’s capital efficient inventory acquisitions.

Despite our current levels of indebtedness, including indebtedness entered into in connection with the Transactions, MVW may be able to incur substantially more debt. This could exacerbate further the risks associated with our leverage.

MVW and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future, including secured indebtedness. As of March 31, 2019, MVW had approximately $3,955 million of total gross indebtedness outstanding, including $973 million of gross secured indebtedness (excluding (i) $4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facilities and (ii) non-recourse, securitized debt, including any borrowings under the MVW Warehouse Credit Facility) and an additional $521 million available for borrowing under MVW’s $600 million Revolving Credit Facility (after giving effect to $4 million of outstanding letters of credit). In the future, MVW could increase the amount available for borrowing under the Credit Facilities by up to an amount equal to (i) the greater of $750 million and 100% of MVW’s Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facilities) plus (ii) voluntary prepayments of loans and voluntary permanent commitment reductions under the Credit Facilities and certain other reductions of debt plus (iii) additional amounts as long as the incurrence of such additional amounts would not exceed certain leverage ratios, in each case subject to securing additional commitments and certain other conditions.

Although the indentures that govern the Notes and the credit agreement that governs the Credit Facilities limit MVW’s ability and the ability of our present and future subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, the terms of such agreements and instruments permit MVW to incur significant additional indebtedness. In addition, the indentures allow MVW to issue additional Notes under certain circumstances, which will also be guaranteed by the Guarantors that guarantee the Notes. Furthermore, such agreements and instruments will not prohibit MVW from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness as defined therein. To the extent that MVW and our subsidiaries incur additional indebtedness or such other obligations, the risks associated with our substantial indebtedness described above, including our potential inability to service our debt, will increase.

Repayment of the Issuers’ debt, including the Notes, is dependent on cash flow generated by the Issuers’ subsidiaries.

A significant portion of the assets of MVW are owned by, and a significant portion of our operations are conducted by, our subsidiaries, including subsidiaries of the Issuers. Accordingly, repayment of the Issuers’ indebtedness, including the Notes, is dependent, to a significant extent, on the generation of cash flow by the Issuers’ subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to the Issuers, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors of the Notes, these subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the Notes or to make funds available for that purpose. The Issuers’ subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable the Issuers to make payments in respect of their indebtedness, including the Notes. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit the Issuers’ ability to obtain cash from such subsidiaries. In the event that the Issuers do not receive distributions from their subsidiaries or payments from MVW or our other subsidiaries, the Issuers may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on their indebtedness, including the Notes.

Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Borrowings under the Credit Facilities are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates were to increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. Assuming all loans are fully drawn, each quarter point change in interest rates would result in a $2 million change in annual interest expense on our indebtedness under the Credit Facilities. We may enter into interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce interest rate volatility. However, we may not maintain interest rate swaps with respect to all of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.

The Notes are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the Issuers or the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the property securing that indebtedness.

The Notes are not secured by any of the Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ assets. As a result, the Notes and the Note Guarantees are effectively subordinated to any of the Issuers’ and the guarantors’ secured indebtedness, including the Credit Facilities, with respect to the assets that secure that indebtedness. The effect of this subordination is that upon a default in payment on, or the acceleration of, any current or future secured indebtedness, or in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization of the Issuers or the Guarantors, the proceeds from the sale of assets securing such secured indebtedness will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all indebtedness under such secured debt has been paid in full. As a result, the holders of the Notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of secured debt in the event of the Issuers’ or the Guarantors’ bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, dissolution or reorganization.

Claims of holders of the Notes are structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of the Issuers’ subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Notes.

The Notes are not guaranteed by all of the Issuers’ subsidiaries. In addition, in the future, a guarantor may be released from its Note Guarantee under certain circumstances, including if such guarantor no longer guarantees a credit facility or capital markets debt securities of the Issuers or any guarantor. See “Description of the 2023 Notes—Note Guarantees” and “Description of the 2026 Notes—Note Guarantees.”

Claims of holders of the Notes will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of these non-guarantors, including trade creditors. All obligations of these non-guarantors will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to the Issuers or their creditors, including the holders of the Notes.

Table of Contents

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 15% of our revenue and 47% of our income before income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 14% of our revenue and 9% of our income before income taxes. As of March 31, 2019, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 17% of our total assets and had $18 million of total liabilities, including debt and trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the Notes.

Any default under the agreements governing the Issuers’ indebtedness, including a default under the credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities or the indentures that govern the Notes, that is not waived by the required holders of such indebtedness, and the remedies sought by the holders of such indebtedness, could prevent the Issuers from paying principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and substantially decrease the market value of the Notes. If the Issuers are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on their indebtedness, or if they otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants in the instruments governing their indebtedness, they could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default,

 

   

the holders of such indebtedness may be able to cause all available cash flow to be used to pay such indebtedness and, in any event, could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest;

 

   

the lenders under the Credit Facilities could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against MVW’s and our subsidiaries’ assets; and

 

   

MVW or our subsidiaries could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders under the Credit Facilities to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under the Credit Facilities and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under our Credit Facilities, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

If you do not exchange your Original Notes for New Notes, you will continue to have restrictions on your ability to resell them.

The Original Notes were not issued in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and may not be resold, offered for resale or otherwise transferred unless they are subsequently registered or resold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. If you do not exchange your Original Notes for New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers, you will not be able to resell, offer to resell or otherwise transfer the Original Notes unless such offer or sale is registered under the Securities Act or unless you resell them, offer to resell them or otherwise transfer them under an exemption from the registration requirements of, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.

In addition, upon consummation of the Exchange Offers, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Original Notes will be reduced by the amount of Original Notes of such series exchanged. Securities with a smaller outstanding principal amount available for trading, or float, generally command a lower price than do comparable securities with a greater float. Therefore, the market price for Original Notes that are not submitted for exchange or not accepted by us may be adversely affected. A reduced float may also make the trading prices of any Original Notes that are not exchanged more volatile.

Table of Contents

An active trading market for the Notes may not develop or be maintained.

There is currently no established public trading market for the Notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of any series of the New Notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of any series of the New Notes on any automated dealer quotation system. The New Notes will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Accordingly, an active trading market for the New Notes may not develop or be maintained. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, you may find it difficult or impossible to resell the Notes. Future trading prices of the Notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, MVW’s financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the Notes and the markets for similar securities. Any trading market that develops may be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including:

 

   

the time remaining to the maturity of the Notes;

 

   

the outstanding amount of the Notes;

 

   

the terms related to optional redemption of the Notes; and

 

   

the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.

Even if an active trading market for the New Notes does develop, it may not continue. Further, any market that may develop for such Notes may not be liquid, you may not be able to sell such Notes and the price at which you will be able to sell such Notes may be reduced.

The trading price and the liquidity of the Notes may be volatile and can be directly affected by many factors, including MVW’s credit ratings.

The trading price of the Notes could be subject to significant fluctuation in response to, among other factors, changes in MVW’s operating results, interest rates, the market for non-investment grade securities, general economic conditions and securities analysts’ recommendations, if any, regarding MVW’s securities. Any rating organization that rates the Notes may lower the rating or decide not to rate the Notes in its sole discretion. The ratings of the Notes will be based primarily on the rating organization’s assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due and the payment of principal on the maturity date. Any downgrade or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency that rates the Notes could have an adverse effect on the trading prices or liquidity of the Notes.

The Issuers may choose to redeem the Notes prior to maturity.

The Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time. See “Description of the 2023 Notes—Optional Redemption” and “Description of the 2026 Notes—Optional Redemption.”

An increase in market interest rates could result in a decrease in the value of the Notes.

In general, as market interest rates rise, debt bearing interest at a fixed rate declines in value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline. Consequently, if market interest rates increase, the market values of your Notes may decline.

Certain change of control events that affect the market price of the Notes may not give rise to any obligation to repurchase the Notes.

Legal uncertainty regarding what constitutes a change of control and the provisions of the indentures that govern the Notes may allow MVW to enter into transactions, such as acquisitions, refinancing or recapitalizations, that would not constitute a “Change of Control” under the indentures but may increase our outstanding indebtedness or otherwise affect our ability to satisfy obligations under the Notes. The definition of

 

15


Table of Contents

change of control for purposes of the Notes includes a phrase relating to the transfer of “all or substantially all” of MVW’s property. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, your ability to require the Issuers to repurchase the Notes as a result of a transfer of less than all of MVW’s property to another person may be uncertain.

The Issuers may not be able to repurchase all of the Notes upon a change of control, which would result in a default under the Notes.

The Issuers will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control” as provided in the indentures. The occurrence of a change of control may cause an event of default under the Credit Facilities and therefore could cause the Issuers to have to repay amounts outstanding thereunder, and any financing arrangements the Issuers may enter into in the future may also require repayment of amounts outstanding in the event of a change of control and therefore limit the Issuers’ ability to fund the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to the change of control repurchase offers. The Issuers may not have sufficient funds, or be able to arrange for additional financing, at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of the Notes. If the Issuer has insufficient funds to repurchase all of the Notes that holders tender for purchase pursuant to the change of control repurchase offers and the Issuers are unable to raise additional capital, an event of default would occur under the indentures. An event of default could cause any other debt that the Issuers may have at that time to become automatically due, further exacerbating their financial condition and diminishing the value and liquidity of the Notes. Additional capital may not be available to the Issuers on acceptable terms or at all. See “Description of the 2023 Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and “Description of the 2026 Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control.”

U.S. federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the Notes and/or the Note Guarantees, and if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the Notes.

U.S. federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the Notes and the incurrence of the Note Guarantees. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state, the Notes or the Note Guarantees could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, (a) issued the Notes or incurred the Note Guarantee with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (b) received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for either issuing the Notes or incurring the Note Guarantee and, in the case of (b) only, one of the following is also true at the time thereof:

 

   

the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the Notes or the incurrence of the Note Guarantee;

 

   

the issuance of the Notes or the incurrence of the Note Guarantee left the Issuers or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, with an unreasonably small amount of capital or assets to carry on its business;

 

   

either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors intended to, or believed that such Issuer or such guarantor would, incur debts beyond its or such guarantor’s ability to pay as they mature; or

 

   

either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors were a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it if, in either case, the judgment is unsatisfied after final judgment.

As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or a valid antecedent debt is secured or satisfied. A court would likely find that either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for issuing the Notes or incurring its Note Guarantee to the extent such Issuer or such guarantor did not obtain a

 

16


Table of Contents

reasonably equivalent benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Notes or the incurrence of such Note Guarantee.

The Issuers cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not either of the Issuers or any of the Guarantors of the Notes were insolvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, whether the Notes or the Note Guarantees would be subordinated to the Issuers’ or any of such Guarantors’ other debt. In general, however, a court would deem an entity insolvent if:

 

   

the sum of its debts, including contingent and unliquidated liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets;

 

   

the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

 

   

it could not pay its debts as they became due.

If a court were to find that the issuance of the Notes or the incurrence of a Note Guarantee was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the Notes or that Note Guarantee, subordinate the Notes or that Note Guarantee to presently existing and future indebtedness of the applicable obligor or require the holders of the Notes to repay any amounts received with respect to that Note Guarantee. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred with respect to the Notes or the Note Guarantees, you may not receive any repayment on the Notes or the Note Guarantees.

Further, as a court of equity, the bankruptcy court may subordinate the claims in respect of the Notes to other claims against the Issuers under the principle of equitable subordination if the court determines that (1) the holder of Notes engaged in some type of inequitable conduct, (2) the inequitable conduct resulted in injury to the Issuers’ other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the holders of Notes and (3) equitable subordination is not inconsistent with the provisions of the bankruptcy code.

Many of the covenants in the indentures will not apply during any period in which the Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s.

Many of the covenants in the indentures will not apply during any period in which the Notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, provided at such time no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. The covenants that will not apply during such period include covenants that will restrict, among other things, our ability to incur or guarantee debt, to pay dividends or make other restricted payments, to sell assets, to enter into affiliate transactions and to enter into certain other transactions. The Notes may never be rated investment grade, or if they are rated investment grade, they may not maintain these ratings. However, suspension of these covenants would allow us to engage in certain transactions that would not be permitted while these covenants were in force. To the extent the covenants are subsequently reinstated, any such actions taken while the covenants were suspended would not result in an event of default under the indentures. See the sections entitled “Description of of the 2023 Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Suspension” and ” “Description of of the 2026 Notes—Certain Covenants—Covenant Suspension.”

The Exchange Offers may be cancelled or delayed.

We have reserved the right to terminate or withdraw the Exchange Offers, including solely in respect of the Original 2023 Notes or the Original 2026 Notes, in our sole discretion at any time and for any reason, subject to applicable law. Therefore, even if you properly submit a letter of instruction prior to the expiration date and otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers, the Exchange Offers may not be consummated. Because of adjustments or other logistical challenges in exchanging original Notes for New Notes, among other things, the settlement of the Exchange Offers may be delayed. Accordingly, you may have to wait longer than expected to receive your New Notes, during which time you will not be able to effect transfers of your Original Notes or New Notes you are to receive in the Exchange Offers.

Table of Contents

You must comply with the Exchange Offers procedures in order to receive freely tradable New Notes.

Delivery of New Notes in exchange for Original Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offers will be made only if such tenders comply with the Exchange Offer procedures described herein, including the timely receipt by the applicable Exchange Agent of book-entry transfer of Original Notes into such Exchange Agent’s account at DTC (as defined below), as depositary, including an agent’s message (as defined herein). We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Original Notes for exchange.

Some holders who exchange their Original Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

If you exchange your Original Notes in the Exchange Offers for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Original Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA

The following table presents MVW’s selected historical financial data, which was derived from MVW’s last five fiscal years of consolidated financial statements and related notes. The selected historical financial data of MVW for the years ended December 31, 2017, December 30, 2016, January 1, 2016 and January 2, 2015 set forth below does not include the effects of the Combination Transactions. The selected historical financial data as of and for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 are derived from MVW’s unaudited consolidated financial statements included in MVW’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The selected historical financial data as of and for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and December 30, 2016 are derived from MVW’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The selected historical financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2016 are derived from MVW’s audited consolidated financial statements included in MVW’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 5, 2018, which is not incorporated by reference in this prospectus. The selected historical financial data included in the table below for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2015 is derived from MVW’s audited consolidated financial statements for such year, which have not been incorporated by reference into this prospectus and have not been restated for the retrospective adoption of ASC 606.

Historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period or any future date. Because this information is only a summary and does not provide all of the information contained in MVW’s consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, this selected historical financial data should be read in conjunction with the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and MVW’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, each included in MVW’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 7, 2019, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and MVW’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, each included in the Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Contract sales consist of the total amount of vacation ownership product sales under contract signed during the period where MVW has received a down payment of at least ten percent of the contract price, reduced by actual rescissions during the period, inclusive of contracts associated with sales of vacation ownership products on behalf of third parties, which MVW refers to as “resales contract sales.” In circumstances where a customer applies any or all of their existing ownership interests as part of the purchase price for additional interests, MVW includes only the incremental value purchased as contract sales. Contract sales differ from revenues from the sale of vacation ownership products that MVW reports in our income statements due to the requirements for revenue recognition described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” accompanying MVW’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. MVW considers contract sales to be an important operating measure because it reflects the pace of sales in MVW’s business. Consolidated contract sales do not include contract sales from unconsolidated joint ventures.

THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

Terms of the Exchange Offers

General. We issued the Original 2026 Notes on August 23, 2018 and the Original 2023 Notes on September 4, 2018 in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

In connection with the sale of the Original Notes, (i) certain holders of the Original 2023 Notes became entitled to the benefits of the registration rights agreement, dated September 4, 2018, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the representatives of the dealer managers of the ILG Notes Exchange Offer, and (ii) certain holders of the Original 2026 Notes became entitled to the benefits of the registration rights agreement, dated August 23, 2018, and the joinder thereto, dated September 1, 2018, among the Issuers, the Guarantors and the representatives of the initial purchasers of the Original 2026 Notes. Such agreements are collectively referred to herein as the “registration rights agreements.”

Under the registration rights agreements, we became obligated to file a registration statement in connection with an Exchange Offer, to use our reasonable best efforts to have the Exchange Offers registration statement declared effective and to use our reasonable best efforts to exchange New Notes for the Original Notes tendered prior thereto (i) with respect to the Original 2023 Notes, within 365 days following September 4, 2018, and (ii) with respect to the Original 2026 Notes, within 365 days following August 23, 2018. The Exchange Offers being made by this prospectus, if consummated within the required time period, will satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreements. This prospectus, together with the letter of instruction, is being sent to all beneficial holders of Original Notes known to us.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of instruction, we will accept for exchange all Original Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the expiration date. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of New Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding Original Notes accepted in the Exchange Offers. Holders may tender some or all of their Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers.

Based on no-action letters issued by the staff of the SEC to third parties, we believe that holders of the New Notes issued in exchange for Original Notes may offer for resale, resell and otherwise transfer the New Notes, other than any holder that is an affiliate of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act. This is true as long as the New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders’ business, the holder has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the New Notes and neither the holder nor any other person is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of the New Notes. A broker-dealer that acquired Original Notes directly from us cannot exchange the Original Notes in the Exchange Offers. Any holder who tenders in the Exchange Offers for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the New Notes cannot rely on the no-action letters of the staff of the SEC and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

Each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.

We shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered Original Notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice of the acceptance of such Notes to the applicable Exchange Agent. The 2023 Notes Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of Original 2023 Notes for the purposes of receiving the New 2023 Notes from the Issuers and delivering New 2023 Notes to such holders. The 2026 Notes Exchange Agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of Original 2026 Notes for the purposes of receiving the New 2026 Notes from the Issuers and delivering New 2026 Notes to such holders.

 

21


Table of Contents

If any tendered Original Notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender or the occurrence of the conditions set forth under “—Conditions” without waiver by us, any such unaccepted Original Notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder of any such Original Notes as promptly as practicable after the expiration date.

Holders of Original Notes who tender in the Exchange Offers will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of instruction, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Original Notes, pursuant to the Exchange Offers. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes in connection with the Exchange Offers.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendment. We will keep the Exchange Offers open for not less than 20 business days, or longer if required by applicable law. The term “expiration date” means the expiration date set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, unless we extend either Exchange Offer, in which case the term “expiration date” when used with respect to an Exchange Offer means the latest date to which such Exchange Offer is extended.

In order to extend the expiration date of an Exchange Offer, we will notify the applicable Exchange Agent of any extension by oral or written notice and issue a public announcement of the extension prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

We reserve the right:

 

  (a)

to delay accepting any Original Notes, to extend the Exchange Offers or to terminate the Exchange Offers and not accept Original Notes not previously accepted if any of the conditions set forth under “—Conditions” shall have occurred and shall not have been waived by us, if permitted to be waived by us, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the applicable Exchange Agent; or

 

  (b)

to amend the terms of the Exchange Offers in any manner deemed by us to be advantageous to the holders of the Original Notes. Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice. If an Exchange Offer is amended in a manner determined by us to constitute a material change, we promptly will disclose such amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of the Original Notes of such amendment. Depending upon the significance of the amendment, we may extend the applicable Exchange Offer if it otherwise would expire during such extension period.

Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public announcement of any extension, amendment or termination of the Exchange Offers, we will not be obligated to publish, advertise, or otherwise communicate any such announcement, other than by making a timely release to an appropriate news agency.

Procedures for Tendering

To tender in the Exchange Offers, a holder must effect a book-entry transfer of Original Notes to be tendered in the Exchange Offers into the account of the applicable Exchange Agent at The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) by electronically transmitting its acceptance of the Exchange Offers through the Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) maintained by DTC, and delivering to the applicable Exchange Agent any other required documents. DTC will then verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to such Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and send an agent’s message to such Exchange Agent. To be validly tendered, confirmation of such book-entry transfer and such other required documents must reach the exchange agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Holders desiring to tender Original Notes pursuant to ATOP must allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures during normal business hours of DTC. Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, delivery of Original Notes will be deemed made only when the agent’s message is actually received by the applicable Exchange Agent prior to the expiration date.

 

22


Table of Contents

The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by a book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the applicable Exchange Agent, forming a part of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, which states that such book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in such book-entry transfer facility tendering the Original Notes that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of instruction and that we may enforce such agreement against such participant.

The tender by a holder of Original Notes will constitute an agreement between such holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of instruction.

Although delivery of the Original Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the applicable Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and delivery of an agent’s message to such Exchange Agent, delivery of all other required documents (if any) must be made to the applicable Exchange Agent at its address set forth below. Holders may also request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect such tender for such holders.

The method of delivery of the required documents other than the Original Notes (if any) to the applicable Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the holders. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure timely delivery to the applicable Exchange Agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. No Original Notes or other documents should be sent to us.

There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of Original Notes entitled to participate in the Exchange Offers.

Any beneficial holder whose Original Notes are registered in the name of its broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender on its behalf and comply with the ATOP procedures for book-entry transfer described below on or prior to the expiration date.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and withdrawal of the tendered Original Notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all Original Notes not properly tendered or any Original Notes our acceptance of which, in the opinion of our counsel, would be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular Original Notes. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers, including the instructions in the letter of instruction, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. None of us, the Exchange Agents or any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Original Notes, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Original Notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Original Notes received by the Exchange Agents that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned without cost to such holder by the applicable Exchange Agent to the tendering holders of Original Notes, unless otherwise provided in the letter of instruction, as soon as practicable following the expiration date.

In addition, we reserve the right in our sole discretion to:

 

  (a)

purchase or make offers for any Original Notes that remain outstanding subsequent to the expiration date or, as set forth under “—Conditions,” to terminate the Exchange Offers in accordance with the terms of the registration rights agreements; and

 

  (b)

to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase Original Notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The terms of any such purchases or offers may differ from the terms of the Exchange Offers.

 

23


Table of Contents

By tendering, each holder will represent to us that, among other things,

 

  (a)

the New Notes acquired pursuant to the Exchange Offers are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of such holder or other person;

 

  (b)

neither such holder nor such other person is engaged in or intends to engage in a distribution of the New Notes;

 

  (c)

neither such holder or other person has any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such New Notes; and

 

  (d)

such holder or other person is not an “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of the Issuers or, if such holder or other person is such an affiliate, will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable.

We understand that each of the Exchange Agents will make a request promptly after the date of this prospectus to establish accounts with respect to the Original 2023 Notes or the Original 2026 Notes, as applicable, at DTC for the purpose of facilitating the Exchange Offers, and subject to the establishment of such accounts, any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of Original Notes of a series by causing DTC to transfer such Original Notes into the applicable Exchange Agent’s account with respect to the Original Notes in accordance with the ATOP procedures for such transfer. Although delivery of the Original Notes of a series may be effected through book-entry transfer into the applicable Exchange Agent’s account at DTC and delivery of an agent’s message to such Exchange Agent, all other required documents (if any) must in each case be transmitted to and received or confirmed by such Exchange Agent at its address set forth below on or prior to the expiration date.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, tenders of Original Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. However, if the expiration date has been extended, tenders of Original Notes previously accepted for exchange as of the original expiration date may not be withdrawn.

To withdraw a tender of Original Notes in the Exchange Offers, you must comply with DTC’s procedures for withdrawal of tenders. Sufficient time should be allowed for completion of the ATOP withdrawal procedures during the normal business hours of DTC. A withdrawal may be effected by a properly submitted “Request Message” through ATOP, which must:

 

   

specify the name of the DTC participant whose name appears on the security position listing as the owner of such tendered Original Notes;

 

   

contain a description of the Original Notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount; and

 

   

be signed by such DTC participant in the same manner as the participant’s name is listed in the applicable agent’s message.

Conditions

Notwithstanding any other term of the Exchange Offers, we will not be required to accept any Original Notes for exchange, or exchange any New Notes for any Original Notes, and may terminate or amend the Exchange Offers before the expiration date, if the Exchange Offers violate any applicable law or interpretation by the staff of the SEC. In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Original Notes of any holder that has not made to us the representations described under “—Terms of the Exchange Offers—Procedures for Tendering” and such other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to allow us to use an appropriate form to register the New Notes under the Securities Act.

 

24


Table of Contents

If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of the foregoing conditions exist, we may:

 

  (1)

refuse to accept any Original Notes and return all tendered Original Notes to the tendering holders;

 

  (2)

extend the Exchange Offers and retain all Original Notes tendered prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offers, subject, however, to the rights of holders who tendered such Original Notes to withdraw their tendered Original Notes; or

 

  (3)

waive such condition, if permissible, with respect to the Exchange Offers and accept all properly tendered Original Notes which have not been withdrawn. If such waiver constitutes a material change to the Exchange Offers, we will promptly disclose such waiver by means of a prospectus supplement that will be distributed to the holders, and we will extend the Exchange Offers as required by applicable law.

We, however, will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for their services and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with providing such services.

Table of Contents

Accounting Treatment

The New Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Original Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss for accounting purposes will be recognized by us. Certain expenses of the Exchange Offers and the unamortized expenses related to the issuance of the Original Notes will be amortized over the term of the Notes in accordance with the applicable accounting framework.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

Holders of Original Notes who are eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers but who do not tender their Original Notes will not have any further registration rights, and their Original Notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, such Original Notes may be resold only:

 

   

to us, upon redemption of such Original Notes or otherwise,

 

   

so long as the Original Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, to a person inside the United States whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A,

 

   

outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act,

 

   

in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or under another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to us, or

 

   

under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,

in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

Regulatory Approvals

We do not believe that the receipt of any material federal or state regulatory approval will be necessary in connection with the Exchange Offers, other than the effectiveness of the Exchange Offers registration statement under the Securities Act.

Other

Participation in the Exchange Offers is voluntary and holders of Original Notes should carefully consider whether to accept the terms and condition of the Exchange Offers. Holders of the Original Notes are urged to consult their financial and tax advisors in making their own decision on what action to take with respect to the Exchange Offers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2023 NOTES

This description of notes relates to the 5.625% senior notes due 2023 (the “New 2023 Notes”), to be issued by Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and ILG, LLC (the “Issuers” and each an “Issuer”) in exchange for $88,165,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Original 2023 Notes” and, together the New 2023 Notes and any additional notes, the “2023 Notes”), issued by the Issuers pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 4, 2018, by and among the Issuers, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, the other guarantors party thereto and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee (the “2023 Notes Trustee”), relating to the 2023 Notes (as supplemented, the “2023 Notes Indenture”). Interest on each 2023 Note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the tendered Original 2023 Note in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on such Original 2023 Note, from the first date Original Notes of such series were issued. Any Original 2023 Note that remains outstanding after completion of the Exchange Offers, together with the 2023 Notes, will be treated as a single class of securities under the 2023 Notes Indenture.

You can find the definitions of capitalized terms used in this “Description of the 2023 Notes” and not defined elsewhere under the subheading “—Definitions.” Terms defined in this “Description of the 2023 Notes” are defined for use in this section only, and the same terms may have different meanings in the “Description of the 2026 Notes” or elsewhere in this prospectus. In this “Description of the 2023 Notes,” the words “Issuers,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and ILG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and not to any of their Subsidiaries. Because consents of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing ILG Notes were not received in the Consent Solicitation, ILG became a co-issuer of the 2023 Notes rather than a Subsidiary Guarantor of the 2023 Notes. As such, where applicable, certain changes were made in the Indenture, including references to ILG as the “Co-Issuer” and the treatment of the Co-Issuer in a manner similar to the Issuer for purposes of the covenants and other terms described in this “Description of the 2023 Notes,” including with respect to the obligation to pay any principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on, the 2023 Notes and the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property.” The words “Parent Guarantor” refer only to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and not to any of its Subsidiaries, except for the purpose of financial data determined on a consolidated basis. In addition, the words “Subsidiary Guarantor” refer to all existing Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor that Guarantee the 2023 Notes and to any Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor that Guarantee the 2023 Notes in the future. The word “Guarantors” refers to the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors, collectively.

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the 2023 Notes Indenture. It does not restate the 2023 Notes Indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the 2023 Notes Indenture in its entirety because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the 2023 Notes. Copies of the 2023 Notes Indenture are available without charge upon request to the Issuer at the address indicated under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Brief Description of the Notes and the Guarantees

The Notes

The 2023 Notes:

 

   

are general unsecured obligations of the Issuers;

 

   

rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuers’ existing and future senior Debt, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the 2026 Notes;

 

   

rank senior in right of payment to all of the Issuers’ future Subordinated Obligations;

 

   

are effectively subordinated to all secured obligations of the Issuers, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations;

 

27


Table of Contents
   

are structurally subordinated to all Debt and other liabilities (including trade payables) of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries that are not Subsidiary Guarantors; and

 

   

are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a senior basis, by the Guarantors.

Although the 2023 Notes are titled “senior,” we have not issued, and do not currently have any plans to issue, any indebtedness which would be subordinated in right of payment to the 2023 Notes.

The Note Guarantees

The Note Guarantees:

 

   

are general unsecured obligations of each Guarantor;

 

   

rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior Debt of such Guarantor, including borrowings under the Credit Agreement, the Existing ILG Notes that were not exchanged in the ILG Notes Exchange Offer, the 2026 Notes and the Convertible Notes (with respect to the Parent Guarantor only);

 

   

rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations of such Guarantor; and

 

   

are effectively subordinated to all secured obligations of such Guarantor, including the secured guarantee by such guarantor of our obligations under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations.

As of the Issue Date, all of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries were Restricted Subsidiaries. Under certain circumstances, we are permitted to designate certain of our Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” Unrestricted Subsidiaries would not be subject to any of the covenants in the 2023 Notes Indenture. Unrestricted Subsidiaries would not Guarantee the 2023 Notes.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

We issued $88,165,000 in aggregate principal amount of Original 2023 Notes on the Issue Date and, subject to compliance with the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt,” we can issue an unlimited amount of additional 2023 Notes under the 2023 Notes Indenture at later dates.

Any additional 2023 Notes that we issue in the future under the 2023 Notes Indenture will be identical in all respects to the 2023 Notes that we are issuing now, except that the 2023 Notes issued in the future will have different issue prices, issue dates, first interest payment dates and first dates from which interest will accrue; provided that if the additional 2023 Notes are not fungible with the 2023 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the additional 2023 Notes will be issued with a separate CUSIP number. The 2023 Notes and any additional 2023 Notes, if any, will be treated as a single class for all purposes of the 2023 Notes Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context otherwise requires, for all purposes of the 2023 Notes Indenture and this “Description of the 2023 Notes,” references to the 2023 Notes include any additional 2023 Notes actually issued. We will issue 2023 Notes only in fully registered form without coupons, in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The 2023 Notes will mature on April 15, 2023.

Interest on the 2023 Notes accrues at a rate of 5.625% per annum. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2019. We will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record on the April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding each interest payment date.

 

28


Table of Contents

Interest on the 2023 Notes will accrue from April 15, 2019. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

The 2023 Notes are denominated in U.S. Dollars and all payments of principal and interest thereon will be paid in U.S. Dollars.

Ranking

The 2023 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is a borrower or guarantor under the Credit Agreement. The 2023 Notes rank equally with all senior unsecured Debt of the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors (including the Existing ILG Notes that were not exchanged in the ILG Notes Exchange Offer, the 2026 Notes and the Convertible Notes (with respect to the Parent Guarantor only)) but will be effectively subordinated to all secured Debt, including our obligations under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Debt. Certain of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries do not and will not guarantee the 2023 Notes, including any Receivables Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary. Claims of creditors of non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, including trade creditors, and creditors holding debt and guarantees issued by those Subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders (if any) of those Subsidiaries, generally are structurally senior with respect to the assets and earnings of those subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors, including holders of the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes and each Note Guarantee are therefore structurally subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders (if any) of Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor (other than the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors).

As of March 31, 2019:

 

   

we had approximately $3,955 million of total gross indebtedness (including the 2023 Notes);

 

   

of our total indebtedness, we had approximately $973 million of gross secured indebtedness (excluding (i) $4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and (ii) non-recourse, securitized debt, including any borrowings under the warehouse credit facility) to which the 2023 Notes are effectively subordinated; and

 

   

we had commitments available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement of $521 million (after giving effect to $4 million of outstanding letters of credit).

Although the 2023 Notes Indenture limits the Incurrence of Debt by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries, this limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions. The Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur a substantial amount of additional Debt, and a significant portion of such Debt may be secured Debt. Moreover, the 2023 Notes Indenture does not impose any limitation on the Incurrence by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Debt under the 2023 Notes Indenture. See “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt.”

Optional Redemption

The Issuers may, at their option, redeem all or any portion of the 2023 Notes, at any time, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior notice, at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for 2023 Notes redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount:

Table of Contents

Any notice of redemption may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including a sale of Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor, an Incurrence of Debt, a Change of Control or other transaction. If any redemption is subject to the satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, the related redemption notice shall describe each such condition, and if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied or waived, or that such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied or waived by the redemption date, or by the redemption date as so delayed. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person.

If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date will be paid on the redemption date to the Person in whose name the 2023 Note is registered at the close of business on such record date. In the case of any partial redemption, the 2023 Notes Trustee will select 2023 Notes for redemption by such method as it shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that if the 2023 Notes are in global form, interests in such global notes will be selected for redemption by DTC in accordance with its standard procedures therefor, although no 2023 Note of $2,000 in principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. If any 2023 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such 2023 Note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. A new 2023 Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original 2023 Note.

Mandatory Redemption; Sinking Fund

The Issuers are not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2023 Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase the 2023 Notes as described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and “Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales.”

The Issuers and their affiliates may acquire 2023 Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Note Guarantees

The obligations of the Issuers pursuant to the 2023 Notes, including any repurchase obligation resulting from a Change of Control, are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis, by the Parent Guarantor and each Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that guarantees or is a borrower under the Credit Agreement or other Credit Facility or other capital markets debt securities of an Issuer or a Guarantor (the “Note Guarantees” and each, a “Note Guarantee”). If any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Receivables Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary) that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (and any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary guarantees other capital markets debt securities of an Issuer or a Guarantor) becomes a borrower or guarantor under any Credit Facility or other capital markets debt securities of any Issuer or any Guarantor after the Issue Date, such Restricted Subsidiary must provide a Note Guarantee.

Not all of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries guarantee the 2023 Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, these non-guarantor Subsidiaries must pay the holders of their debts and their trade creditors in full before they will be permitted to distribute any of their assets to the Issuers or another Guarantor.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 15% of our revenue and 47% of our operating income. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries

Table of Contents

represented 14% of our revenue and 9% of our income before income taxes. As of March 31, 2019, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 17% of our total assets and had $18 million of total liabilities, including debt and trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.

Each Note Guarantee is limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a Guarantor’s obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the 2023 Notes, or a Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness, the Exchange Offers and the New Notes—U.S. federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the Notes and/or the Note Guarantees, and if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the Notes.”

The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will terminate, and the Note Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon:

(1) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the Property of the Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case other than to the Parent Guarantor or a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by the 2023 Notes Indenture;

(2) the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor as a guarantor or borrower under the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Facility and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee in respect of other capital markets debt securities of any Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee other than, in each case, a release or discharge through payment thereon;

(3) the designation in accordance with the 2023 Notes Indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(4) defeasance or discharge of the 2023 Notes, as provided in “—Defeasance and Discharge.”

The Note Guarantee of Parent Guarantor will terminate, and the Note Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon defeasance or discharge of the 2023 Notes, as provided in “—Defeasance and Discharge.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of 2023 Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s 2023 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail (or electronic transmission in the case of 2023 Notes held in book-entry form), with a copy to the 2023 Notes Trustee, to each holder of 2023 Notes, at such holder’s address appearing in the security register, a notice stating:

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant described herein under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and that all 2023 Notes timely tendered will be accepted for repurchase;

(2) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered; and

 

31


Table of Contents

(3) the procedures that holders of 2023 Notes must follow in order to tender their 2023 Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that holders of 2023 Notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender 2023 Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the 2023 Notes Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us and purchases all 2023 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the 2023 Notes Indenture to redeem all of the 2023 Notes, as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the consummation of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

We will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of 2023 Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described above, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under this covenant by virtue of such compliance.

We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we would decide to do so in the future. Subject to the covenants described below, we could, in the future, enter into transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the 2023 Notes Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Debt outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a phrase relating to the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the Parent Guarantor’s Property. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, if less than all of the Parent Guarantor’s Property is disposed of by any of the means described above, the ability of a holder of 2023 Notes to require us to repurchase its 2023 Notes may be uncertain.

The Credit Agreement also provides that the occurrence of some of the events that would constitute a Change of Control would constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. Future Debt of the Issuers may contain prohibitions of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require that future Debt be repurchased upon a Change of Control. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. Our failure to purchase 2023 Notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the 2023 Notes Indenture. Any such default would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and may constitute a default under any of our future Debt as well. Our obligation to make an offer to repurchase the 2023 Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of that Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2023 Notes. See “—Amendments and Waivers.”

Certain Covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain of the covenants to be contained in the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Covenant Suspension

During any period of time that:

(a) the 2023 Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the 2023 Notes Indenture,

 

32


Table of Contents

the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of the 2023 Notes Indenture:

 

   

“—Limitation on Debt,”

 

   

“—Limitation on Restricted Payments,”

 

   

“—Limitation on Asset Sales,”

 

   

“—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries,”

 

   

“—Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates” and

 

   

clause (e) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property”

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the 2023 Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing (the date of such ratings withdrawal or downgrade or the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, the “Reversion Date”), then the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for all periods after that withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default and, furthermore, compliance with the provisions of the covenant described in “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date will be calculated in accordance with the terms of that covenant as though that covenant had been in effect during the entire period of time from the Issue Date, provided that there will not be deemed to have occurred a Default or Event of Default with respect to that covenant during the time (the “Suspension Period”) that the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries were not subject to the Suspended Covenants (or after that time based solely on events that occurred during that time). Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments.” The Issuers will give the 2023 Notes Trustee written notice of any such suspension of covenants and in any event not later than five Business Days after such suspension has occurred. In the absence of such notice, the 2023 Notes Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants are in full force and effect.

Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of Permitted Liens under the “—Limitation on Liens” covenant during any Suspension Period (as defined below) and without limiting the Parent Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to Incur Debt during any Suspension Period, to the extent that calculations in the “—Limitation on Liens” covenant refer to the “—Limitation on Debt” covenant, such calculations shall be made as though the “—Limitation on Debt” covenant remains in effect during the Suspension Period. On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt” (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt,” such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (g) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt.” For purposes of determining compliance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Asset Sales,” on the Reversion Date, the Net Available Cash from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with the covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero. No Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period.

The Issuers will give the 2023 Notes Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the 2023 Notes Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

There can be no assurance that the 2023 Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

Limitation on Debt

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt (including Acquired Debt) unless, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof either:

(1) the Debt is Debt (in each case, including Acquired Debt) of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving pro forma effect to the Incurrence of the Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Debt permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this clause (1) by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not the Issuers or Subsidiary Guarantors may not exceed $35 million at any time outstanding, or

(b) Debt of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred under Credit Facilities up to an aggregate principal amount (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) not to exceed $700 million at any time outstanding, which amount shall be permanently reduced by the amount of Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale used to Repay Debt Incurred pursuant to this clause (b), pursuant to the covenant described under “—Limitation on Asset Sales”;

(c) Debt of the Parent Guarantor owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary and Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (1) any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of that Debt (except to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of that Debt by the issuer thereof, and (2) if the Parent Guarantor, an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor is the obligor on that Debt and the Debt is owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Debt is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the 2023 Notes or the applicable Note Guarantee;

(d) Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the date on which that Restricted Subsidiary was acquired by the Parent Guarantor or otherwise became a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, a transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which the Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or was otherwise acquired by the Parent Guarantor); provided that the principal amount of any Debt Incurred pursuant to this clause (d) outstanding at any one time may not exceed the greater of (x) $35 million and (y) 3.5% of the Parent Guarantor’s Consolidated Total Assets;

(e) Debt in connection with one or more standby letters of credit or performance or surety bonds or completion guarantees issued by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to self-insurance obligations and not in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit;

34


Table of Contents

Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Capital Stock; provided, however, that the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Debt shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such disposition;

(g) Debt of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries outstanding on the Issue Date (including any Existing ILG Notes not exchanged in the ILG Notes Exchange Offer, the 2026 Notes and the Convertible Notes, including, in each case, any Guarantee thereof) and, in each case, not otherwise described in clauses (a) through (f) above and clause (l) below;

(h) Debt of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Receivables Subsidiary) in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $150 million;

(j) Debt of any Issuer or any Guarantor consisting of Guarantees of Debt of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary Incurred under any other clause of this covenant;

(n) Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred in respect of Debt Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph of this covenant and clauses (a), (d) and (g) above or this clause (n);

(o) Debt of any Receivables Subsidiary under an Accounts Receivable Facility to the extent that the obligations thereunder are required to be reflected as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with GAAP;

(p) Debt arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided that such Debt is extinguished within five (5) Business Days of its Incurrence;

(q) Debt in respect of trade letters of credit, warehouse receipts or similar instruments issued to support performance obligations (other than obligations in respect of Debt) in the ordinary course of business; provided that the aggregate stated amount of any such trade letters of credit, warehouse receipts or similar instruments shall not exceed, as of the date of issuance, amendment or extension thereof, $15.0 million;

(t) all premium (if any), interest (including post-petition interest), fees, expenses, charges and additional or contingent interest on obligations described in paragraphs (a) through (s) above.

For purposes of determining compliance with any restriction on the Incurrence of Debt in U.S. Dollars where Debt is denominated in a different currency, the amount of such Debt will be the Dollar Equivalent determined on the date of such determination. The principal amount of any Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred

 

35


Table of Contents

in the same currency as the Debt being refinanced will be the Dollar Equivalent of the Debt refinanced determined on the date such Debt being refinanced was initially Incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, for purposes of determining compliance with this “Limitation on Debt” covenant, increases in Debt solely due to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies will not be deemed to exceed the maximum amount that the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur under any of clauses (a) through (t) of this “Limitation on Debt” covenant.

For purposes of determining compliance with the covenant described above:

(A) in the event that all or any portion of an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Debt described above, the Parent Guarantor, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Debt at the time of Incurrence and only be required to include the amount and type of such Debt in one of the above clauses;

(B) the Parent Guarantor will be entitled to divide and classify and reclassify all or any portion of an item of Debt in more than one of the types of Debt described above; provided that the Issuers shall designate an aggregate principal amount of $700 million of Debt committed or outstanding under the Credit Agreement on the Issue Date which shall at all times such Debt remains committed or outstanding be treated as Incurred under clause (2)(b) above and may not be reclassified; and

(C) in the case of any Refinancing Debt, when measuring the outstanding amount of such Debt such amount shall not include, without duplication, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, accrued and unpaid interest, premiums (including, without limitation, tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including, without limitation, original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) Incurred in connection with such refinancing.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

The Parent Guarantor shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment,

(a) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

(b) the Parent Guarantor could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt,” or

(c) the aggregate amount of that Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made after the Issue Date (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value) would exceed an amount equal to the sum of:

(1) 50% of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurred to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment and for which reports are required to be provided under “—Reports” (or if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus

(2) Capital Stock Sale Proceeds received after the Issue Date, plus

(3) the sum of:

(A) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after the Issue Date of convertible or exchangeable Debt that has been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor, and

(B) the aggregate amount by which Debt of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Parent Guarantor’s consolidated balance sheet on or after the Issue

Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Debt issued or sold on or prior to the Issue Date that is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor,

excluding, in the case of clause (A) or (B):

(x) any Debt issued or sold to the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees, and

(y) the aggregate amount of any cash or other Property distributed by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or exchange, plus

(4) an amount equal to the sum of:

(A) the net reduction in Investments in any Person other than the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of Property made after the Issue Date, in each case to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary from that Person, less the cost of the disposition of those Investments, and

(B) the lesser of the net book value or the Fair Market Value of the Parent Guarantor’s equity interest in an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time the Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary (provided that such designation occurs after the Issue Date);

provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Person, the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as Restricted Payments) by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in that Person, plus

(5) any cash dividends or cash distributions received directly or indirectly by an Issuer or a Guarantor after the Issue Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any other Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent such dividends or distributions were not otherwise included in Consolidated Net Income (other than to the extent such distribution represents a return of capital and the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary or such other Person was made by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (j) of the second paragraph of this covenant or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment), plus

(6) an amount equal to the amount calculated pursuant to Section 4.05(c) of the Original Indenture through the Issue Date, less the amount of any of Restricted Payments made through the Issue Date by IAC or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in compliance with Section 4.05 of the Original Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Parent Guarantor and each of the Restricted Subsidiaries may:

(a) declare or pay dividends on its Capital Stock or distributions, or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption, within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or distribution or giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if, on said date of declaration or redemption notice, such dividends, distributions or redemption, as the case may be, could have been paid in compliance with the 2023 Notes Indenture; provided, however, that the dividend, distribution and redemption shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(b) purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor or Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees); provided, however, that

(1) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments, and

 

37


Table of Contents

(2) the Capital Stock Sale Proceeds from the exchange or sale shall be excluded from the calculation pursuant to clause (c)(2) above;

(c) purchase, repurchase, redeem, legally defease, acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Permitted Refinancing Debt; provided, however, that the purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(d) pay scheduled dividends (not constituting a return on capital) on Disqualified Stock issued pursuant to and in compliance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt”;

(e) permit a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary to pay dividends to shareholders of that Restricted Subsidiary that are not the parent of that Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that is the parent of that Restricted Subsidiary receives dividends on a pro rata basis or on a basis that results in the receipt by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary that is the parent of that Restricted Subsidiary of dividends or distributions of greater value than it would receive on a pro rata basis;

(f) make cash payments in lieu of fractional shares in connection with the exercise of warrants, options or other securities convertible into Capital Stock of the Parent Guarantor; provided, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(g) make repurchases of shares of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor deemed to occur upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor, warrants, other rights to acquire Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) or the vesting of restricted stock units if such shares of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor represent a portion of the exercise price of such options, warrants or other rights or represents withholding, income or employment taxes due upon such exercise or vesting; provided, however, that such repurchases shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(h) repurchase shares of, or options to purchase shares of, common stock of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary from current or former officers, directors or employees of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such current or former officers, directors or employees), pursuant to the terms of agreements (including employment agreements) or plans approved by the Board of Directors under which such individuals acquire shares of such common stock; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such repurchases shall not exceed $5.0 million in any calendar year (with unused amounts in any calendar year carried over to the immediately succeeding calendar year (but not any other years) subject to a maximum of $7.5 million in any calendar year); and provided further, however, that such repurchases shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(i) purchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Subordinated Obligations upon a Change of Control of the Parent Guarantor or an Asset Sale by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent required by any agreement pursuant to which such Subordinated Obligations were issued, but only if an offer to purchase 2023 Notes has previously been made as required under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” or “—Limitation on Asset Sales” and all 2023 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with such offer to purchase 2023 Notes have been repurchased pursuant to the provisions described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” or “—Limitation on Asset Sales”; provided, however, that such payments shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

(j) make other Restricted Payments not to exceed $75 million in the aggregate; provided, however, that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a Restricted Payment meets the criteria of more than one of the exceptions described in clauses (a) through (l) above, meets any of the criteria of any of the clauses of the definition of “Permitted Investments,” or is permitted pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Parent Guarantor, in its sole discretion, (x) will classify such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment on the date of such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment and may later reclassify such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in any manner that complies with this covenant (based on circumstances existing at the time of reclassification), (y) may divide and later redivide the amount of a Restricted Payment among more than one of such clauses or the first paragraph of this covenant and (z) will only be required to include such Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment in one of such clauses or the first paragraph of this covenant.

Limitation on Liens

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), upon any of its Property (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom unless (i) it has made or will make effective provision whereby the 2023 Notes will be secured by that Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other Debt of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary secured by that Lien or (ii) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations of any Issuer or any Guarantor, the 2023 Notes and the related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior to such Liens.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the 2023 Notes pursuant to this covenant shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged (a) upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (i) and (ii) above or (b) upon the Restricted Subsidiary whose Property is secured by such Lien ceasing to be a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor in accordance with the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Limitation on Asset Sales

(b) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the 2023 Notes or the Note Guarantees) as a result of which the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to those liabilities; and

(c) the Issuers deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the 2023 Notes Trustee certifying that the Asset Sale complies with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

For the purposes of this covenant:

(1) securities or other assets received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the closing of such Asset Sale shall be considered to be cash to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(2) any cash consideration paid to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale that is held in escrow or on deposit to support indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations in respect of such Asset Sale shall be considered to be cash;

(3) Productive Assets received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale shall be considered to be cash;

(4) the requirement that at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale be in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or assumed liabilities shall also be considered satisfied if the cash or Cash Equivalents received constitutes at least 75% of the consideration received by the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale, determined on an after-tax basis; and

(5) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received in respect of Asset Sales that is at that time outstanding not to exceed $40 million shall be considered to be cash.

The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

(a) to Repay secured Debt of an Issuer or a Guarantor (and if the secured Debt being repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto), or any Debt of a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary (excluding, in any such case, any Debt that is owed to the Parent Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor);

(b) to Repay other Debt (and if the Debt being repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto) of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Subordinated Obligations and Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor) so long as the Parent Guarantor shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the 2023 Notes (i) on a pro rata basis as provided under “—Optional Redemption,” (ii) through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (iii) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Prepayment Offer) to all holders to purchase their 2023 Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the amount of 2023 Notes that would otherwise be prepaid; or

(c) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary equal to the amount of Net Available Cash received by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary);

provided, however, that the Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales from the Parent Guarantor to any Subsidiary must be reinvested in Additional Assets of the Parent Guarantor, an Issuer or another Guarantor. The Issuers may, at their option, make a Prepayment Offer (as defined below) using proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after the consummation of such Asset Sale.

Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of that Net Available Cash or that the Parent Guarantor earlier elects to so designate shall constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided, however, that a binding commitment to reinvest in

 

40


Table of Contents

Additional Assets pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding paragraph shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment; provided that (i) such reinvestment is consummated within 180 days of the end of the 365-day period referred to in this sentence, and (ii) if such reinvestment is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (i) or such binding commitment is terminated, the Net Available Cash not so applied will be deemed to be Excess Proceeds. The foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale may be satisfied by the Issuers making a Prepayment Offer (as defined below) with respect to all Net Available Cash prior to the expiration of the relevant 365-day period (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to any unapplied Excess Proceeds.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to a Prepayment Offer (as defined below) exceeds $35 million (taking into account income earned on those Excess Proceeds, if any), the Issuers will be required to make or cause to be made an offer to purchase (the “Prepayment Offer”) the 2023 Notes, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in the 2023 Notes Indenture. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all holders of 2023 Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their 2023 Notes for purchase in accordance with the 2023 Notes Indenture, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary may use the remaining amount for any purpose permitted by the 2023 Notes Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” will mean the product of:

(a) the Excess Proceeds, and

(b) a fraction,

(1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, and

(2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Issuers and the Guarantors outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the 2023 Notes and the Note Guarantees and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to the covenant described hereunder and requiring any Issuer or any Guarantor to make an offer to purchase that Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer.

Not later than five Business Days after the Issuers are obligated to make a Prepayment Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Issuers shall send, or cause to be sent, a written notice, by first-class mail (or electronic transmission in the case of 2023 Notes held in book-entry form), to the holders of 2023 Notes, accompanied by information regarding the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as the Issuers in good faith believe will enable the holders to make an informed decision with respect to that Prepayment Offer. The notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is delivered.

The Issuers will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of 2023 Notes pursuant to the covenant described hereunder. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue thereof.

(x) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividend or liquidating distributions prior to the dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock),

(y) make any loans or advances to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances), or

(d) resulting from the Incurrence of any Permitted Debt described in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt”; provided that the restriction is no less favorable to the holders of 2023 Notes in any material respect (as determined in good faith by the Issuers’ Boards of Directors in a resolution of the Board of Directors delivered to the 2023 Notes Trustee) than the restrictions of the same type contained in the 2023 Notes Indenture, or

(e) existing by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order; and

(f) with respect to clause (z) above only, relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the 2023 Notes pursuant to the covenants described under “—Limitation on Debt” and “—Limitation on Liens” that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing that Debt,

(g) encumbering Property at the time the Property was acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the restriction relates solely to the Property so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the acquisition,

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor (an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(a) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are materially no less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or that Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, taken as a whole, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor, and

(b) (i) if the Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $10 million, the Boards of Directors of the Issuers (including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves the Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that the Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) of this paragraph as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors promptly delivered to the 2023 Notes Trustee and (ii) if the Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $25 million, the Issuers deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an opinion issued by an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

The Boards of Directors of the Issuers may designate any Restricted Subsidiary or other Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if:

(a) the Subsidiary to be so designated does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary,

(b) immediately before and after such designation, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and

(c) any of the following:

(1) the Subsidiary to be so designated has total assets of $10,000 or less,

(3) the designation is effective immediately upon the entity becoming a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (as designated by the Board of Directors in the manner provided below).

Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Subsidiary shall not be designated a Restricted Subsidiary and shall be automatically classified as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the Person is a Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

Except as provided in the first sentence of the first paragraph of this covenant, no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary. In addition, neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary in existence and classified as an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary is liable for that Debt (including any right to take enforcement action against that Unrestricted Subsidiary).

The Boards of Directors of the Issuers may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to the designation,

(x) the Parent Guarantor could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt,” and

(y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom.

Any designation or redesignation of this kind by the Board of Directors will be evidenced to the 2023 Notes Trustee by filing with the 2023 Notes Trustee a resolution of the Board of Directors giving effect to the designation or redesignation and an Officer’s Certificate that:

(a) certifies that the designation or redesignation complies with the foregoing provisions, and

(b) gives the effective date of the designation or redesignation, and the filing with the 2023 Notes Trustee to occur after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor in which the designation or redesignation is made within the time period for which reports are required to be provided under “—Reports.”

(a) if the 2023 Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee are subordinated in right of payment to such Debt, the Guarantee under the supplemental indenture shall be subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary’s guarantee with respect to such Debt substantially to the same extent as the 2023 Notes are subordinated to such Debt; and

(b) if such Debt is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the 2023 Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the 2023 Notes;

(2) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guarantee; and

(3) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(a) such Guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and

(b) such Guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principals of equity;

provided that this covenant shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed on the Issue Date or at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, further, that no Receivables Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary will be required to become a Guarantor at any time.

(i) the other Person is the Parent Guarantor, any Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor concurrently with the transaction; or

(ii) (1) either (x) the Subsidiary Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee; and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or another Subsidiary Guarantor or merge with a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor, so long as the resulting entity remains or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor.

Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve “all or substantially all” of the property or assets of a Person.

Conduct of Business of Receivables Subsidiaries

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parent Guarantor will not permit any Receivables Subsidiary to engage in any business activities (including, but not limited to, making acquisitions or Investments) or incur or assume any liabilities other than, in each case, solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Accounts Receivable Facility Documents.

Reports

Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any 2023 Notes are outstanding, the Issuers will furnish to the holders of 2023 Notes or cause the 2023 Notes Trustee to furnish to the holders of 2023 Notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers:

(1) all quarterly and annual reports of the Parent Guarantor that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Parent Guarantor were required to file such reports; and

(2) all current reports of the Parent Guarantor required to be filed with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Parent Guarantor were required to file such reports,

provided that the electronic filing of the foregoing reports by the Parent Guarantor on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to satisfy the Issuers’ delivery obligations to the 2023 Notes Trustee and any holder of 2023 Notes, it being understood that the 2023 Notes Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether any reports have been filed on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor system).

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Parent Guarantor’s consolidated financial statements by the Parent Guarantor’s certified independent accountants. In addition, the Parent Guarantor will, substantially concurrently with furnishing or making such reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above available to the holders of the 2023 Notes or the 2023 Notes Trustee, post the reports on its website within the time periods specified above.

If, at any time, the Parent Guarantor is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Parent Guarantor will nevertheless continue to file the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified above unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. Neither the Issuers nor the Parent Guarantor will take any action reasonably expected to cause the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Parent Guarantor’s filings for any reason, the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor will post the reports referred to in the preceding paragraphs on its website within the time periods that would apply if the Parent Guarantor were required to file those reports with the SEC.

If the Parent Guarantor has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor. In addition, each Issuer agrees that, if at any time the Parent Guarantor is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, it will furnish to the holders of 2023 Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

Table of Contents

To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified in this section “—Reports” and such information is subsequently provided, the Issuers will be deemed to have satisfied their obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

The Issuers will be deemed to have satisfied their obligations to furnish the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above to the 2023 Notes Trustee and the holders of the 2023 Notes if any direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor has furnished to the holders of the 2023 Notes or caused the 2023 Notes Trustee to furnish to the holders of 2023 Notes or filed such reports (including reports filed by such direct or indirect parent’s independent accountants) with the SEC using the EDGAR filing system (or any successor thereto). The 2023 Notes Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, any Issuer’s, any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Events of Default

Events of Default in respect of the 2023 Notes include:

(1) failure to make the payment of any interest on the 2023 Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and that failure continues for a period of 30 days;

(2) failure to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on any of the 2023 Notes when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise;

(3) failure to comply with the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property”;

(4) failure to comply with any other covenant or agreement in the 2023 Notes or in the 2023 Notes Indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the foregoing clause (1), (2) or (3)) and such failure continues for 60 days after written notice is given to the Issuers as provided below;

(5) a default under any Debt by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary that results in acceleration of the maturity of that Debt, or failure to pay any Debt at maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $30 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time (the “cross acceleration provisions”);

(6) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $30 million (or its foreign currency equivalent at the time) (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) that shall be rendered against Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary and that shall not be waived, satisfied, annulled, discharged or rescinded for any period of 60 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect (the “judgment default provisions”);

(7) specified events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Parent Guarantor, any Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (the “bankruptcy provisions”); and

(8) any Note Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect, other than in accordance with the terms of the 2023 Notes Indenture, or Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee (the “note guarantee provisions”).

A Default under clause (4) is not an Event of Default until the 2023 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding notify the Issuers of the Default and the Issuers do not cure that Default within the time specified after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

The Issuers shall deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer’s Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Table of Contents

If an Event of Default with respect to the 2023 Notes (other than an Event of Default resulting from particular events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to any Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary) shall have occurred and be continuing, the 2023 Notes Trustee or the registered holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of 2023 Notes then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the 2023 Notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. In case an Event of Default resulting from events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization with respect to any Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary shall occur, the amount with respect to all the 2023 Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the 2023 Notes Trustee or the holders of the 2023 Notes. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the 2023 Notes Trustee, the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding may, under some circumstances, rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium or interest of any 2023 Note held by a non-consenting holder, have been cured or waived as provided in the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Subject to the provisions of the 2023 Notes Indenture relating to the duties of the 2023 Notes Trustee, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the 2023 Notes Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the 2023 Notes Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the 2023 Notes, unless the holders shall have offered to the 2023 Notes Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to the provisions for the indemnification of the 2023 Notes Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the 2023 Notes Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the 2023 Notes Trustee with respect to the 2023 Notes.

No holder of 2023 Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the 2023 Notes Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

(a) that holder has previously given to the 2023 Notes Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default,

(b) the registered holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the 2023 Notes Trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and

(c) the 2023 Notes Trustee shall not have received from the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with that request and shall have failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

However, these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of any 2023 Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, that 2023 Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in that 2023 Note. The 2023 Notes Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless an officer of the 2023 Notes Trustee having direct responsibility for the administration of the 2023 Notes Indenture has received written notice of any such event and such notice references the 2023 Notes and the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Amendments and Waivers

Subject to certain exceptions, the 2023 Notes Indenture, the 2023 Notes and the Note Guarantees may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified with the consent of the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the 2023 Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes then outstanding (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the

(6) subordinate the 2023 Notes or the Note Guarantees to any other obligation of any Issuer or any Guarantor;

(10) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the 2023 Notes Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the 2023 Notes Indenture.

Without the consent of any holder of the 2023 Notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the 2023 Notes Trustee may amend, supplement or otherwise modify the 2023 Notes Indenture, the 2023 Notes and the Note Guarantees to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake or inconsistency;

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of any Issuer or any Guarantor under the 2023 Notes Indenture;

(3) provide for uncertificated 2023 Notes in addition to or in place of certificated 2023 Notes; provided that the uncertificated 2023 Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated 2023 Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

(4) add Guarantees with respect to the 2023 Notes or release Guarantors from their Note Guarantees as provided by the terms of the 2023 Notes Indenture or the Note Guarantees;

(9) provide for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of the 2023 Notes Indenture;

(10) provide for the issuance of New 2023 Notes or other exchange securities that shall have terms substantially identical to the 2023 Notes (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the 2023 Notes shall be modified or eliminated as appropriate) and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding 2023 Notes, as a single class of securities; or

(11) conform any provision of the 2023 Notes Indenture, the 2023 Notes or the Note Guarantees to this “Description of the 2023 Notes” to the extent that such provision in this “Description of the 2023 Notes” was intended to a verbatim recitation of a provision of the 2023 Notes Indenture, the 2023 Notes or the Note Guarantees.

The consent of the holders of the 2023 Notes is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or other modification. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or other modification. After an amendment, supplement or other modification becomes effective, the Issuers are required to deliver to each registered holder of the 2023 Notes at the holder’s address appearing in the security register a notice briefly describing the amendment. However, the failure to give this notice to all holders of the 2023 Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment supplement or other modification. In connection with any modification, amendment or supplement, the Issuers will deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate upon which the 2023 Notes Trustee may conclusively rely, each stating that such modification, amendment or supplement complies with the applicable provisions of the 2023 Notes Indenture and such modification, amendment or supplement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuers enforceable against them in accordance with its terms.

Defeasance and Discharge

The Issuers may discharge all obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under the 2023 Notes, the 2023 Notes Indenture and the Note Guarantees by irrevocably depositing in trust with the 2023 Notes Trustee money or Government Obligations sufficient to pay principal of and interest on the 2023 Notes to maturity or redemption within one year, subject to meeting certain other conditions.

The Issuers at any time may also terminate all of the obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under the 2023 Notes, the 2023 Notes Indenture and the Note Guarantees (“legal defeasance”), except for particular obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the 2023 Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen 2023 Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the 2023 Notes. The Issuers at any time may terminate (“covenant defeasance”):

(1) the obligations of the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries under the covenants described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and “—Certain Covenants” above (other the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property,” except as provided in clause (3) below),

(2) the operation of the cross acceleration provisions, the judgment default provisions, the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Significant Subsidiaries and the Note Guarantee provisions described under “—Events of Default” above, and

(3) the limitations contained in clause (e) under the first paragraph of “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property” above.

The Issuers may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the 2023 Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option,

 

53


Table of Contents

payment of the 2023 Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (4) (with respect to the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants”), (5), (6), (7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries) or (8) under “—Events of Default” above or because of the failure of the Parent Guarantor to comply with clause (e) under the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property” above. The legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option may be exercised only if:

(a) the Issuers irrevocably deposit in trust with the 2023 Notes Trustee money in U.S. Dollars or U.S. dollar-denominated Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest (including premium, if any) on the 2023 Notes to maturity or redemption;

(b) the Issuers deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee a certificate of a nationally recognized accounting firm expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at the times and in amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal and interest (including premium, if any) when due on all the 2023 Notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

(c) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the deposit and after giving effect thereto (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(d) the deposit does not constitute a default under any other agreement or instrument binding on the Issuers;

(e) the Issuers deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

(f) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Issuers deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

(1) the Issuers have received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(2) since the date of the 2023 Notes Indenture there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,

to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon the Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the 2023 Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the defeasance had not occurred;

(g) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Issuers deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the 2023 Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of that covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if that covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

(h) the Issuers deliver to the 2023 Notes Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the 2023 Notes have been complied with as required by the 2023 Notes Indenture.

In the case of either discharge or defeasance, the Note Guarantees, if any, will terminate.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of any Issuer or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of any Issuer or any Guarantor (other

than an Issuer in respect of the 2023 Notes and each Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee) under the 2023 Notes, the Note Guarantees or the 2023 Notes Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each holder by accepting a 2023 Note waives and releases all such liability. This waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the 2023 Notes. This waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities law.

DESCRIPTION OF THE 2026 NOTES

This description of notes relates to the 6.500% senior notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes”), to be issued by Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and ILG, LLC (the “Issuers” and each an “Issuer”) in exchange for $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Original 2026 Notes” and, together the New 2026 Notes and any additional notes, the “2026 Notes”), issued by the Issuers pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 23, 2018, by and among the Issuers, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, the other guarantors party thereto and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “2026 Notes Trustee”), relating to the 2026 Notes (as supplemented, the “2026 Notes Indenture”). Interest on each 2026 Note will accrue from the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the tendered Original 2026 Note in exchange therefor or, if no interest has been paid on such Original 2026 Note, from the first date Original Notes of such series were issued. Any Original 2026 Note that remains outstanding after completion of the Exchange Offers, together with the 2026 Notes, will be treated as a single class of securities under the 2026 Notes Indenture.

You can find the definitions of capitalized terms used in this description and not defined elsewhere under the subheading “Definitions.” Terms defined in this “Description of the 2026 Notes” are defined for use in this section only, and the same terms may have different meanings in the “Description of the 2023 Notes” or elsewhere in this prospectus. In this “Description of the 2026 Notes,” the terms “Issuers,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and ILG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and not to any of their Subsidiaries. Because consents of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing ILG Notes were not received in the Consent Solicitation, ILG became a co-issuer of the 2026 Notes rather than a Subsidiary Guarantor of the 2026 Notes. As such, where applicable, certain changes were made in the 2026 Notes Indenture, including references to ILG as the “Co-Issuer” and the treatment of the Co-Issuer in a manner similar to the Issuer for purposes of the covenants and other terms described in this “Description of the 2026 Notes,” including with respect to the obligation to pay any principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on, the 2026 Notes and the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property.” The term “Parent Guarantor” refers only to Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and not to any of its Subsidiaries, except for the purpose of financial data determined on a consolidated basis. In addition, the term “Subsidiary Guarantor” refers to all existing Subsidiaries of the Issuers that Guarantee the 2026 Notes and to any future Subsidiaries that guarantee the 2026 Notes. The word “Guarantors” refers to the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiary Guarantors, collectively.

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture. It does not restate the 2026 Notes Indenture in its entirety. We urge you to read the 2026 Notes Indenture in its entirety because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the 2026 Notes. Copies of the 2026 Notes Indenture are available without charge upon request to the Issuers at the address indicated under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Principal, Maturity and Interest

On the Issue Date, we issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Original 2026 Notes under the 2026 Notes Indenture and, subject to compliance with the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt,” we can issue an unlimited amount of additional notes at later dates. Any additional 2026 Notes that we issue in the future will have identical terms and conditions as the 2026 Notes offered hereby, except that any additional notes issued in the future will have different issue prices, issue dates, first interest payment dates and first dates from which interest will accrue; provided that any additional notes that are not fungible with the 2026 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be issued with a separate CUSIP number and ISIN from the 2026 Notes. Any additional 2026 Notes will be part of the same issue as the 2026 Notes that we are currently offering and will vote on all matters with the 2026 Notes. We will issue 2026 Notes in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The 2026 Notes will mature on September 15, 2026.

Table of Contents

Interest on the 2026 Notes accrues at a rate of 6.500% per annum. Interest on the 2026 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2019. We will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record on the March 1 or September 1 immediately preceding each interest payment date.

Interest on the 2026 Notes will accrue from March 15, 2019. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The 2026 Notes are denominated in U.S. Dollars and all payments of principal and interest thereon will be paid in U.S. Dollars.

Ranking

The 2026 Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Issuers and are guaranteed by the Parent Guarantor and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is required to provide a guarantee or is a borrower under the Credit Agreement. The 2026 Notes rank equally with all senior unsecured Debt of the Parent Guarantor and the Guarantors but is effectively subordinated to all secured Debt, including our obligations under the Credit Agreement, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such Debt. Certain of the Parent Guarantor’s Subsidiaries do not and will not guarantee the 2026 Notes, including any Securitization Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary. Claims of creditors of non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, including trade creditors, and creditors holding debt and guarantees issued by those Subsidiaries, and claims of preferred stockholders (if any) of those Subsidiaries, generally are structurally senior with respect to the assets and earnings of those subsidiaries over the claims of creditors of the Parent Guarantor, the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors, including holders of the 2026 Notes. The 2026 Notes and each Note Guarantee are therefore structurally subordinated to creditors (including trade creditors) and preferred stockholders (if any) of Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor (other than the Issuers or the Subsidiary Guarantors).

As of March 31, 2019:

 

   

we had approximately $3,955 million of total gross indebtedness (including the 2026 Notes);

 

   

of our total indebtedness, we had approximately $973 million of gross secured indebtedness (excluding (i) $4 million of outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Agreement and (ii) non-recourse, securitized debt, including any borrowings under the MVW warehouse credit facility) to which the 2026 Notes are effectively subordinated; and

 

   

we had commitments available to be borrowed under the Credit Agreement of $521 million (after giving effect to $4 million of outstanding letters of credit).

Although the 2026 Notes Indenture limits the Incurrence of Debt by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries, this limitation is subject to a number of significant exceptions. The Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur a substantial amount of additional Debt, and a significant portion of such Debt may be secured Debt. Moreover, the 2026 Notes Indenture does not impose any limitation on the Incurrence by the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Debt under the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Optional Redemption

Except as set forth in the next two paragraphs, 2026 Notes are not redeemable at the option of the Issuers prior to September 15, 2021.

On or after September 15, 2021, the Issuers may, at their option, redeem all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, on any one or more occasions, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior notice. The 2026 Notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive

interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for 2026 Notes redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on September 15 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount:

 

Redemption Year

   Price  

2021

     103.250

2022

     101.625

2023 and thereafter

     100.000

At any time and from time to time, prior to September 15, 2021, the Issuers may, on any one or more occasions, redeem up to a maximum of 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes (including additional notes, if any) with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 106.500% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that immediately after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of 2026 Notes (including additional 2026 Notes, if any) remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 and no more than 60 days’ prior notice.

In addition, the Issuers may choose to redeem all or any portion of the 2026 Notes, on any one or more occasions, prior to September 15, 2021, upon not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of:

(a) 100% of the principal amount of the 2026 Notes to be redeemed, plus

(b) the Applicable Premium,

plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). Any notice to holders of 2026 Notes of such a redemption shall set forth the manner of the calculation of the redemption price, but need not set forth the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price, calculated as described above, must be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the 2026 Notes Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the redemption date.

If the optional redemption date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name the 2026 Note is registered at the close of business on such record date; provided that if the 2026 Notes are in global form, such accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC. In the case of any partial redemption, the 2026 Notes will be selected for redemption, with respect to global notes, in accordance with the applicable procedures of DTC and, with respect to certificated notes, by lot, pro rata or by such method as the 2026 Notes Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate; provided that no note of $2,000 in principal amount or less will be redeemed in part. If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such note will state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Upon the request of the Issuer, a new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note.

Any redemption notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including the completion of an Equity Offering, an Incurrence of Debt or other corporate transaction.

Mandatory Redemption; Sinking Fund; Open Market Purchases

The Issuers are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the 2026 Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase the 2026 Notes as described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales.”

 

82


Table of Contents

The Issuers and their affiliates may acquire 2026 Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with applicable securities laws, so long as such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Note Guarantees

The obligations of the Issuers under the 2026 Notes Indenture and the 2026 Notes, including any repurchase obligation resulting from a Change of Control, are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Parent Guarantor and each Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that guarantees or is a borrower under the Issuers’ existing credit agreement. The obligations of the Issuers under the 2026 Notes Indenture and the 2026 Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis, by the Parent Guarantor and each Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor that guarantees or is a borrower under the Credit Agreement, including ILG and certain of its Subsidiaries. If any Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Securitization Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary) that is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor (and any Domestic Subsidiary that is a non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor if such non-Wholly Owned Subsidiary guarantees other capital markets debt securities of an Issuer or a Guarantor) becomes a borrower or guarantor under any Credit Facility or other capital markets debt securities of any Issuer or any Guarantor after the date of the 2026 Notes Indenture, such Restricted Subsidiary must provide a Note Guarantee.

Not all of the Parent Guarantor’s subsidiaries guarantee the 2026 Notes. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, these non-guarantor Subsidiaries must pay the holders of their debts and their trade creditors in full before they will be permitted to distribute any of their assets to the Issuers or another Guarantor.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 15% of our revenue and 47% of our income before income taxes. For the year ended December 31, 2018, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 14% of our revenue and 9% of our income before income taxes. As of March 31, 2019, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries represented 17% of our total assets and had $18 million of total liabilities, including debt and trade payables but excluding intercompany liabilities.

Each Note Guarantee is limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a Guarantor’s obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the 2026 Notes, or a Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness, the Exchange Offers and the New Notes—U.S. federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the Notes and/or the Note Guarantees, and if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the Notes.”

The Note Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will terminate, and the Note Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon:

(1) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor following which such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case other than to an Issuer or a Guarantor) otherwise permitted by the 2026 Notes Indenture;

(2) the release or discharge of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Credit Facility and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee in respect of other capital markets debt securities of any Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable, that resulted in the creation of such Note Guarantee other than, in each case, a release or discharge through payment thereon;

 

83


Table of Contents

(3) the designation in accordance with the 2026 Notes Indenture of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; or

(4) defeasance or discharge of the 2026 Notes, as provided in “—Defeasance and Discharge.”

The Note Guarantee of Parent Guarantor will terminate, and the Note Guarantee will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, upon defeasance or discharge of the 2026 Notes, as provided in “—Defeasance and Discharge.”

Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of 2026 Notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s 2026 Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers shall send or cause to be sent by first-class mail (or electronic transmission in the case of 2026 Notes held in book-entry form), with a copy to the 2026 Notes Trustee, to each holder of 2026 Notes, at such holder’s address appearing in the security register, a notice stating (as applicable):

(1) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant described herein under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and that all 2026 Notes properly tendered will be accepted for repurchase;

(2) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered (the “Change of Control Purchase Date”);

(3) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that the Change of Control Offer is conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control and setting forth a brief description of the definitive agreement for the Change of Control; and

(4) the procedures that holders of 2026 Notes must follow in order to tender their 2026 Notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that holders of 2026 Notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender 2026 Notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

We will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the 2026 Notes Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by us and purchases all 2026 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the 2026 Notes Indenture to redeem all of the 2026 Notes, as described above under the caption “—Optional Redemption,” unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditioned upon the occurrence of such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

We will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of 2026 Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the covenant described above, we will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached our obligations under this covenant by virtue of such compliance.

Table of Contents

If holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding 2026 Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such 2026 Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuers, or any third party making a Change of Control Offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchase all of the 2026 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such holders, the Issuers shall have the right, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ prior written notice, given not more than 30 days following the Change of Control Purchase Date, to redeem all 2026 Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of redemption (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

The Issuers have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we would decide to do so in the future. Subject to the covenants described below, we could, in the future, enter into transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the 2026 Notes Indenture but that could increase the amount of Debt outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a phrase relating to the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of our assets. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, if we dispose of less than all of our assets by any of the means described above, the ability of a holder of 2026 Notes to require us to repurchase its 2026 Notes may be uncertain.

The Credit Agreement restricts us in certain circumstances from purchasing any 2026 Notes prior to maturity of the 2026 Notes and also provides that the occurrence of some of the events that would constitute a Change of Control would constitute a default under the Credit Agreement. Future Debt of the Issuers may contain prohibitions of certain events that would constitute a Change of Control or require that future Debt be repurchased upon a Change of Control. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. Our failure to purchase 2026 Notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the 2026 Notes Indenture. Any such default would, in turn, constitute a default under the Credit Agreement, and may constitute a default under any of our other current or future Debt as well.

Our obligation to make an offer to repurchase the 2026 Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of that Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2026 Notes. See “—Amendments and Waivers.”

Certain Covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain of the covenants contained in the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Covenant Suspension

On and after the first day (such date, the “Suspension Date”) that:

(a) the 2026 Notes have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies, and

(b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the 2026 Notes Indenture,

the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to the following provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture:

 

   

“—Limitation on Debt”;

 

   

“—Limitation on Restricted Payments”;

 

85


Table of Contents
   

“—Limitation on Asset Sales”;

 

   

“—Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries”;

 

   

“—Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates”;

 

   

“—Additional Note Guarantees” (but only with respect to any Person that would be required to become a Guarantor after the date of the commencement of the applicable Suspension Period); and

 

   

clause (d) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property”

(collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”). In the event that the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants for any period of time as a result of the preceding sentence and, subsequently, one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the 2026 Notes below the required Investment Grade Ratings or a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing (the date of such ratings withdrawal or downgrade or the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, the “Reversion Date”), then the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants for all periods after that withdrawal, downgrade, Default or Event of Default; provided, however, that no Default, Event of Default or breach of any kind shall be deemed to exist under the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2026 Notes or the Note Guarantees with respect to the Suspended Covenants based on, and none of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries shall bear any liability for, any actions taken or events occurring during the Suspension Period (as defined below), regardless of whether such actions or events would have been permitted if the applicable Suspended Covenants remained in effect during such period. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to as the “Suspension Period.”

The Issuers will give the 2026 Notes Trustee written notice of any such suspension of covenants and in any event not later than five Business Days after such suspension has occurred. In the absence of such notice, the 2026 Notes Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants are in full force and effect.

Compliance with the provisions of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” with respect to Restricted Payments made after the Reversion Date will be calculated in accordance with the terms of that covenant as though that covenant had been in effect during the entire Suspension Period. Accordingly, Restricted Payments made during the Suspension Period will reduce the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments under the first paragraph of “—Limitation on Restricted Payments.” Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of Permitted Liens under the “—Limitation on Liens” covenant during any Suspension Period and without limiting the Parent Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to Incur Debt during any Suspension Period, to the extent that calculations in the “—Limitation on Liens” covenant refer to the “—Limitation on Debt” covenant, such calculations shall be made as though the “—Limitation on Debt” covenant remains in effect during the Suspension Period. On the Reversion Date, all Debt Incurred during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt” (to the extent such Debt would be permitted to be Incurred thereunder as of the Reversion Date and after giving effect to Debt Incurred prior to the Suspension Period and outstanding on the Reversion Date). To the extent such Debt would not be permitted to be Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph or one of the clauses set forth in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt,” such Debt will be deemed to have been outstanding on the Issue Date, so that it is classified as permitted under clause (j) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt.” For purposes of determining compliance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Asset Sales,” on the Reversion Date, the Net Available Cash from all Asset Sales not applied in accordance with the covenant will be deemed to be reset to zero. No Subsidiaries may be designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries during any Suspension Period.

The Issuers will give the 2026 Notes Trustee written notice of any occurrence of a Reversion Date not later than five Business Days after such Reversion Date. After any such notice of the occurrence of a Reversion Date, the 2026 Notes Trustee shall assume that the Suspended Covenants apply and are in full force and effect.

There can be no assurance that the 2026 Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Ratings.

Limitation on Debt

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt (including Acquired Debt) unless, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof and either:

(1) the Debt is Debt (in each case, including Acquired Debt) of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Incurrence of the Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00; provided that the aggregate principal amount of Debt permitted to be Incurred pursuant to this clause (1) by non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries may not exceed, at the time of the Incurrence thereof, the greater of (i) $75.0 million and (ii) 10% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period, or

(c) Debt of the Parent Guarantor owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary and Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that (1) any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of that Debt (except to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of that Debt by the issuer thereof, and (2) if an Issuer or a Guarantor is the obligor on that Debt and the Debt is owed to a Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Debt is expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the 2026 Notes or the applicable Note Guarantee;

Table of Contents

(C) Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relating to, or Liens securing, Debt that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Debt shall not be included;

(D) if obligations in respect of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments are Incurred pursuant to any Credit Facility and are being treated as Incurred pursuant to any clause of the second paragraph above or the first paragraph above and the letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments relate to other Debt, then such other Debt shall not be included;

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Debt that the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The 2026 Notes Indenture provides that the Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Debt that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Debt of the Parent Guarantor, such Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Debt is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Debt is subordinated to other Debt of such Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

The 2026 Notes Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Debt as subordinated or junior to secured Debt merely because it is unsecured or (2) senior Debt as subordinated or junior to any other senior Debt merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or is secured by different collateral or because it is guaranteed by different obligors.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

The Parent Guarantor shall not make, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment unless at the time of, and after giving effect to, the proposed Restricted Payment,

(a) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

(b) the Parent Guarantor could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to clause (1) of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt”; or

(1) 50% of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the first day of the fiscal quarter in which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter of the Parent Guarantor ending prior to the date of such Restricted Payment (or if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit); provided that such amount shall not be less than zero; plus

(2) 100% of the aggregate Capital Stock Sale Proceeds received after the Issue Date; plus

(3) the sum of:

(A) the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after the Issue Date of convertible or exchangeable Debt that has been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor, and

(B) the aggregate amount by which Debt of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Parent Guarantor’s consolidated balance sheet on or after the Issue Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Debt issued or sold on or prior to the Issue Date that is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent Guarantor,

Table of Contents

The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be paid, transferred or issued by the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment. The Fair Market Value of any cash Restricted Payment shall be its face amount, and the Fair Market Value of any non-cash Restricted Payment, property or assets other than cash shall be determined conclusively by the Issuer acting in good faith.

Limitation on Liens

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, Incur or permit to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), upon any of its properties or assets (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned on the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom unless either (i) it has made or will make effective provision whereby the 2026 Notes and the Note Guarantees will be secured by that Lien equally and ratably with (or prior to) all other Debt of any Issuer or any Guarantor secured by that Lien or (ii) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations of any Issuer or any Guarantor, the 2026 Notes and the Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior to such Liens.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the holders of the 2026 Notes pursuant to this covenant shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.

With respect to any Lien securing Debt that was permitted to secure such Debt at the time of the Incurrence of such Debt, such Lien shall also be permitted to secure any Increased Amount of such Debt. The “Increased Amount” of any Debt shall mean any increase in the amount of such Debt due to any accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion of original issue discount or liquidation preference, the payment of interest in the form of additional Debt with the same terms and increases in the amount of Debt outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies or increases in the value of property securing Debt.

Limitation on Asset Sales

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

(a) such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the properties and assets subject to that Asset Sale (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale); and

(b) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For the purposes of this covenant, the following shall be considered to be cash:

(1) the assumption by the purchaser of Debt or other liabilities of the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt or other liabilities that are by their terms subordinated in right of payment to the 2026 Notes or the Note Guarantees) and from which the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries have been unconditionally released;

(2) securities or other assets received by any Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by such Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days after the closing of such Asset Sale shall be considered to be cash to the extent of the cash received in that conversion;

(3) the assumption by the purchaser of Debt of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Sale, to the extent that the Parent Guarantor and each other Restricted Subsidiary are unconditionally released from any Guarantee of payment of such Debt in connection with such Asset Sale;

Table of Contents

(4) Productive Assets received by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale; and

(5) any Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by any Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with the Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received in respect of Asset Sales that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) $75.0 million and (ii) 10.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period.

The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Parent Guarantor or the Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

(a) to repay secured Debt of the Parent Guarantor, an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor (and if the secured Debt being repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto), or any Debt of a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary);

(b) to repay other Debt (and if the Debt being repaid is revolving credit Debt, to correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto) of the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary (excluding (i) Subordinated Obligations and (ii) Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary) so long as the Issuers shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the 2026 Notes (i) on a pro rata basis as provided under “—Optional Redemption,”(ii) through open-market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof) or (iii) by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for a Prepayment Offer) to all holders to purchase their 2026 Notes at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including the date of repurchase;

(c) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Parent Guarantor or another Restricted Subsidiary); or

(d) any combination of the foregoing;

provided, however, that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Debt or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of that Net Available Cash constitute “Excess Proceeds”; provided, however, that a binding commitment to reinvest in Additional Assets pursuant to clause (c) of the preceding paragraph shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment; provided that (i) such reinvestment is consummated within 180 days of the end of the 365-day period referred to in this sentence, and (ii) if such reinvestment is not consummated within the period set forth in subclause (i) or such binding commitment is terminated, the Net Available Cash not so applied will be deemed to be Excess Proceeds.

When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to a Prepayment Offer (as defined below) exceeds $50.0 million, the Issuers will be required to make an offer to purchase the 2026 Notes (the “Prepayment Offer”), which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds, on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price of at least 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in the 2026 Notes Indenture; provided that if the 2026 Notes are in global form, interests in such global 2026 Notes will be selected for redemption in accordance with the

 

96


Table of Contents

applicable procedures of DTC, although no 2026 Note of $2,000 in principal amount or less will be purchased in part. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all holders of 2026 Notes have been given the opportunity to tender their 2026 Notes for purchase in accordance with the 2026 Notes Indenture, the Parent Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary may use the remaining amount for any purpose permitted by the 2026 Notes Indenture and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

The term “Allocable Excess Proceeds” means the product of:

(a) the Excess Proceeds, and

(b) a fraction,

(1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, and

(2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Issuers and the Guarantors outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the 2026 Notes and the Note Guarantees and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to the covenant described hereunder and requiring any Issuer or any Guarantor to make an offer to purchase that Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer.

Not later than ten Business Days after the Issuers are obligated to make a Prepayment Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Issuers shall send, or cause to be sent, a written notice, by first-class mail (or electronic transmission in the case of 2026 Notes held in book-entry form), to the holders of 2026 Notes with respect to that Prepayment Offer. The notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a Business Day no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date the notice is delivered.

The provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture relative to the Issuers’ obligation to make a Prepayment Offer may be waived or modified with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes.

The Credit Agreement prohibits or limits, and future credit agreements or other agreements to which the Parent Guarantor or its Restricted Subsidiaries become a party may prohibit or limit, the Issuers from purchasing any 2026 Notes pursuant to this covenant. In the event the Issuers are prohibited from purchasing the 2026 Notes, the Issuers could seek the consent of their lenders to the purchase of the 2026 Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuers do not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, they will remain prohibited from purchasing the 2026 Notes. In such case, the Issuers’ failure to purchase tendered 2026 Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the 2026 Notes Indenture.

The Issuers will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of 2026 Notes pursuant to the covenant described hereunder. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of the covenant described hereunder, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the covenant described hereunder by virtue thereof.

Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(x) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividend or liquidating distributions prior to the dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on common stock shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock),

(y) make any loans or advances to the Parent Guarantor or any other Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to any Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Debt Incurred by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances), or

(d) resulting from the Incurrence of any Permitted Debt described in the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Debt”; provided that if the obligor of such Debt is an Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, the restriction is no less favorable to the holders of 2026 Notes in any material respect (as determined in good faith by the Parent Guarantor) than the restrictions of the same type contained in the 2026 Notes Indenture;

(e) existing by reason of applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(f) with respect to clause (z) above only, relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the 2026 Notes pursuant to the covenants described under “—Limitation on Debt” and “—Limitation on Liens” that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the properties or assets securing that Debt;

(g) encumbering properties or assets at the time the properties and assets were acquired by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as the restriction relates solely to the properties and assets so acquired and was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the acquisition;

(h) resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements (including, without limitation, intellectual property licenses entered into in the ordinary course of business) that restrict assignment of the agreements or rights thereunder;

Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates

The Parent Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any property or asset or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor (an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (i) $50.0 million and (ii) 7.5% of Consolidated EBITDA for the most recent four consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such disposition for which financial statements are required to be filed pursuant to the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Reports”), unless:

(a) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are materially no less favorable to the Parent Guarantor or that Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, taken as a whole, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent Guarantor, and

(b) if the Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate consideration in excess of the greater of (i) $100.0 million and (ii) 15.0% of Consolidated EBITDA for the Test Period, the Board of Directors (including a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves the Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, determines that the Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a) of this paragraph as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors promptly delivered to the 2026 Notes Trustee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(a) any transaction or series of transactions between the Parent Guarantor and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries;

101


Table of Contents

payment of any Debt of any Issuer or any other Guarantor incurred under any Credit Facility or other capital markets debt securities unless:

(1) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to the 2026 Notes Indenture providing for a Note Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary, except that with respect to a guarantee of Debt of any Issuer or any Guarantor, if such Debt is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the 2026 Notes or such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Debt shall be subordinated in right of payment to such Note Guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the 2026 Notes; and

Each Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture described under “Note Guarantees.”

(e) the Surviving Parent shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the 2026 Notes Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the 2026 Notes Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture, if any, in respect thereto comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the transaction have been satisfied.

The Surviving Parent shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Parent Guarantor under the 2026 Notes Indenture, but the predecessor Parent Guarantor in the case of (i) a sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition (unless that sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition is of all or substantially all the assets of the Parent Guarantor), or (ii) a lease, shall not be released from any obligation under its Note Guarantee.

Subsidiary Guarantors

No Subsidiary Guarantor may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other Person, or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its properties and assets in any one transaction or series of transactions unless:

(a) (i) either (x) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Note Guarantee and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of the 2026 Notes Indenture to be performed by such Subsidiary Guarantor;

(ii) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default has occurred and is continuing; and

(iii) the surviving Person shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the 2026 Notes Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the 2026 Notes Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate and an

Opinion of Counsel, each stating that the transaction and the supplemental indenture, if any, in respect thereto comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the transaction have been satisfied; or

(b) the transaction constitutes a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the Subsidiary Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the properties and assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor (in each case other than to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary) in compliance with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Asset Sales” and otherwise permitted by the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor may merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its properties and assets to any Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or another Subsidiary Guarantor or merge with a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor, so long as the resulting entity remains or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor.

Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve “all or substantially all” of the property or assets of a Person.

Reports

Whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, so long as any 2026 Notes are outstanding, the Issuers will furnish to the holders of 2026 Notes or cause the 2026 Notes Trustee to furnish to the holders of 2026 Notes, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations that are then applicable to the Parent Guarantor (or, if the Parent Guarantor is then not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations for non-accelerated filers):

(1) all quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed by the Parent Guarantor with the SEC on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Parent Guarantor were required to file such reports; and

(2) all current reports required to be filed by the Parent Guarantor with the SEC on Form 8-K if the Parent Guarantor were required to file such reports;

provided that the electronic filing of the foregoing reports by the Parent Guarantor on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor system) shall be deemed to satisfy the Issuers’ delivery obligations to the 2026 Notes Trustee and any holder of 2026 Notes, it being understood that the 2026 Notes Trustee shall have no responsibility to determine whether any reports have been filed on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor system).

All such reports will be prepared in all material respects in accordance with all of the rules and regulations applicable to such reports. Each annual report on Form 10-K will include a report on the Parent Guarantor’s consolidated financial statements by the Parent Guarantor’s certified independent accountants. In addition, unless the SEC will not accept such a filing, the Parent Guarantor will file a copy of each of the reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above on the SEC’s EDGAR system (or any successor system) within the time periods specified above, and the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor will post the reports on its website within those time periods.

If, at any time, the Parent Guarantor is no longer subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for any reason, the Parent Guarantor will nevertheless continue filing the reports specified in the preceding paragraphs of this covenant with the SEC within the time periods specified above, unless the SEC will not accept such a filing. Neither the Issuers nor the Parent Guarantor will take any action reasonably expected to cause the SEC not to accept any such filings. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the SEC will not accept the Parent Guarantor’s filings for any reason, the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor will post the reports referred to in

Table of Contents

the preceding paragraphs on a website within the time periods specified above (which may be nonpublic and may be maintained by the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor or a third party) to which access will be given to holders of 2026 Notes, prospective purchasers of the 2026 Notes (which prospective purchasers will be limited to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A of the Securities Act) or non-U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), securities analysts and market making institutions that certify their status as such to the reasonable satisfaction of the Issuers or the Parent Guarantor.

If the Parent Guarantor has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries and such Unrestricted Subsidiaries, either individually or collectively, would otherwise have been a Significant Subsidiary, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraphs will include a presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto, and in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Parent Guarantor. In addition, each Issuer agrees that, if at any time it is not required to file with the SEC the reports required by the preceding paragraphs, it will furnish to the holders of 2026 Notes and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified in this section “—Reports” and such information is subsequently provided, the Issuers will be deemed to have satisfied their obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

The Issuers will be deemed to have furnished such reports to the 2026 Notes Trustee and the holders of the 2026 Notes if any direct or indirect parent of the Parent Guarantor has filed such reports (including, in the case of any annual report on Form 10-K, reports by the certified independent accountants of such direct or indirect parent on such direct or indirect parent’s consolidated financial statements) with the SEC using the EDGAR filing system (or any successor thereto) within the time periods specified above; provided that (i) such direct or indirect parent has become a Guarantor and (ii) such reports provide selected financial information that show any material differences between the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent Guarantor and its consolidated subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such direct or indirect parent and its consolidated subsidiaries, on the other hand.

The 2026 Notes Trustee shall not be obligated to monitor or confirm, on a continuing basis or otherwise, the Issuers’, any Guarantor’s or any other Person’s compliance with the covenants described herein or with respect to any reports or other documents filed under the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Transactions

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the 2026 Notes Indenture that requires the calculation of any other financial ratio or (ii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the 2026 Notes Indenture (including baskets measured as a percentage of Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA), in each case, at the option of the Issuers (the Issuers’ election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), the date of determination of whether any such transaction is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date (the “LCT Test Date”) (x) the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is entered into (or, in respect of any transaction described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Limited Condition Transaction,” delivery of irrevocable notice, declaration of dividend or similar event), and not at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or (y) solely in connection with an acquisition to which the United Kingdom City Code on Takeovers and Mergers applies (or similar law in another jurisdiction), the date on which a “Rule 2.7 announcement” of a firm intention to make an offer (or equivalent announcement in another jurisdiction) (a “Public Offer”) is issued in respect of a target of such acquisition, and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions

to be entered into in connection therewith (including any Incurrence of Debt and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Parent Guarantor and the Restricted Subsidiaries could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuers have made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated Total Assets or Consolidated EBITDA on a consolidated basis or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the relevant transaction or action is permitted to be consummated or taken; provided that if such ratios or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios and/or baskets may be utilized. If the Issuers have made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to the Incurrence of Debt or Liens, or the making of Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, mergers, the conveyance, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a Person, the prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction of Debt, or the designation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires (or, if applicable, the irrevocable notice, declaration of dividend or similar event is terminated or expires or, as applicable, the offer in respect of a Public Offer for, such acquisition is terminated) without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be tested by calculating the availability under such ratio or basket on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith have been consummated (including any Incurrence of Debt and any associated Lien and the use of proceeds thereof; provided that Consolidated Interest Expense for purposes of the Consolidated Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio will be calculated using an assumed interest rate based on the indicative interest margin contained in any financing commitment documentation with respect to such Debt or, if no such indicative interest margin exists, as reasonably determined by the Issuers in good faith).

In connection with any action being taken in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, for purposes of determining compliance with any provision of the 2026 Notes Indenture which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result from any such action, as applicable, such condition shall, at the option of the Issuers, be deemed satisfied, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists on the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Issuers have exercised their option to make an LCT Election and any Default or Event of Default occurs following the date the definitive agreements for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction were entered into and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted under the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Events of Default

Each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) failure to make the payment of any interest on the 2026 Notes when the same becomes due and payable, and that failure continues for a period of 30 days;

(2) failure to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, any of the 2026 Notes when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise;

(3) failure to comply with the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property”;

 

106


Table of Contents

(4) failure to comply with any other covenant or agreement in the 2026 Notes or in the 2026 Notes Indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the foregoing clauses (1), (2) or (3)) and such failure continues for 60 days after written notice is given to the Issuers as provided below;

(5) (i) a default under any Debt by the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Debt owed to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary or Debt in respect of any Qualified Securitization Transaction) that results in the acceleration of the maturity of that Debt, or (ii) failure to pay principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Debt prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Debt and, in each case, the principal amount of such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt the maturity of which has been accelerated or under which there has been a payment default, is in an aggregate amount in excess of $75.0 million (or its Dollar Equivalent at the time); provided that this clause (5)(i) shall not apply to secured Debt that becomes due (or requires an offer to purchase) as a result of the voluntary sale or transfer of the property or assets securing such Debt, if such sale or transfer is permitted under the 2026 Notes Indenture and under the documents governing such Debt; and provided, further, that this clause (5)(i) shall not apply to any convertible Debt to the extent such default occurs as a result of (x) the satisfaction of a conversion contingency, (y) the exercise by a holder of such convertible Debt of a conversion right resulting from the satisfaction of a conversion contingency or (z) a required repurchase under such convertible Debt (the “cross acceleration provisions”);

(6) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $75.0 million (or its Dollar Equivalent at the time) (net of amounts covered by insurance or bonded) that shall be rendered against the Parent Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary and that shall not be waived, satisfied, annulled, discharged or rescinded for any period of 60 days or more after such judgment becomes final (the “judgment default provisions”);

(7) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Parent Guarantor, any Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary (the “bankruptcy provisions”); and

(8) the Note Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture), or the Parent Guarantor or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under the 2026 Notes Indenture or its Note Guarantee (the “2026 Note guarantee provisions”).

A Default under clause (4) is not an Event of Default until the 2026 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding notify the Issuers of the Default and the Issuers do not cure that Default within the time specified in clause (4) after receipt of such notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default.”

The Issuers shall deliver to the 2026 Notes Trustee, within 10 Business Days of the date on which an Issuer has become aware of the occurrence or received notice thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any Default, its status and what action the Issuers are taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. In addition, the Issuer is required to deliver to the 2026 Notes Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year ending after the Issue Date, a certificate indicating whether the signers thereof know of any Default that occurred during the previous year.

If an Event of Default with respect to the 2026 Notes (other than an Event of Default described in clause (7) above) shall have occurred and be continuing, the 2026 Notes Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding may declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the 2026 Notes to be immediately due and payable. In case an Event of Default described in clause (7) above shall occur, the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the 2026 Notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the 2026

Notes Trustee or the holders of the 2026 Notes. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 2026 Notes may waive all past defaults (except with respect to nonpayment of principal, premium or interest) and rescind any such acceleration with respect to the 2026 Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the 2026 Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the 2026 Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the 2026 Notes shall be automatically annulled if the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) shall be remedied or cured by the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the 2026 Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the 2026 Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the 2026 Notes, have been cured or waived.

Subject to the provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture relating to the duties of the 2026 Notes Trustee, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the 2026 Notes Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the 2026 Notes Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the 2026 Notes, unless the holders shall have offered to the 2026 Notes Trustee reasonable security and/or indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to the provisions for the indemnification of the 2026 Notes Trustee, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the 2026 Notes Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the 2026 Notes Trustee with respect to the 2026 Notes.

No holder of 2026 Notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the 2026 Notes Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

(a) that holder has previously given to the 2026 Notes Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default,

(b) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the 2026 Notes Trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and

(c) the 2026 Notes Trustee shall not have received from the registered holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with that request and shall have failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

However, these limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of any 2026 Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, that 2026 Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in that 2026 Note. The 2026 Notes Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a responsible officer of the 2026 Notes Trustee having direct responsibility for the administration of the 2026 Notes Indenture has received written notice of any such event and such notice references the 2026 Notes and the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Amendments and Waivers

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the 2026 Notes Indenture may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the 2026 Notes) and any past default or compliance with any provisions may also be waived with the consent of the holders of a

majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2026 Notes then outstanding (including waivers obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the 2026 Notes), except a Default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest and particular covenants and provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each holder of an outstanding 2026 Note. However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding 2026 Note adversely affected thereby, no amendment, supplement or waiver may (with respect to any 2026 Notes held by a non-consenting holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of 2026 Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the stated rate of or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any such 2026 Note;

(3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any 2026 Note;

(4) make any 2026 Note payable in money other than U.S. Dollars;

(5) impair the right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment of principal of and interest on such holder’s 2026 Notes on or after the due dates therefor;

(6) subordinate the 2026 Notes or the Note Guarantees to any other obligation of any Issuer or any Guarantor, as applicable;

(7) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any 2026 Note or change the time at which any 2026 Note may be redeemed, as described under “—Optional Redemption” or (at any time after a Change of Control has occurred) under the fifth paragraph under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control”;

(8) (a) other than as provided in the ninth paragraph under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control,” reduce the premium payable upon a Change of Control or (b) at any time after a Change of Control has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the 2026 Notes must be repurchased pursuant to that Change of Control Offer;

(9) at any time after the Issuers are obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, change the time at which the Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the 2026 Notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto;

(10) make any change in the amendment, supplement or waiver provisions that require each holder’s consent; or

(11) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or the 2026 Notes Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture.

Without the consent of any holder of the 2026 Notes, the Issuers, the Guarantors and the 2026 Notes Trustee may amend or supplement the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2026 Notes or the Note Guarantees to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect, mistake, error or inconsistency;

(2) provide for the assumption by a successor of the obligations of any Issuer or any Guarantor under the 2026 Notes Indenture;

(3) provide for uncertificated 2026 Notes in addition to or in place of certificated 2026 Notes; provided that the uncertificated 2026 Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated 2026 Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code;

(4) to comply with the rules of any applicable depositary;

(5) add Guarantors with respect to the 2026 Notes or release Guarantors from their Note Guarantees in accordance with the applicable terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture;

Issuer and the Guarantors for the benefit of the holders of the 2026 Notes or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or the Guarantors;

(7) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the 2026 Notes in any material respect;

(8) comply with any requirements of the SEC in connection with qualifying, or maintaining the qualification of, the 2026 Notes Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(9) make such provisions as necessary (as determined in good faith by the Issuer) to provide for the issuance of additional 2026 Notes in accordance with the 2026 Notes Indenture;

(10) provide for the issuance of New 2026 Notes or other exchange securities that shall have terms substantially identical in all respects to the 2026 Notes (except that the transfer restrictions contained in the 2026 Notes shall be modified or eliminated, as appropriate) and which shall be treated, together with any outstanding 2026 Notes, as a single class of securities;

(11) provide for the appointment of a successor trustee; provided that the successor trustee is otherwise qualified and eligible to act as such under the terms of the 2026 Notes Indenture;

(12) to make any amendment to the provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of 2026 Notes as permitted by the 2026 Notes Indenture, including, without limitation, to facilitate the issuance and administration of 2026 Notes; provided, however, that (i) compliance with the 2026 Notes Indenture as so amended would not result in 2026 Notes being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and (ii) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of holders to transfer 2026 Notes in any material respect; or

(13) conform any provision of the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2026 Notes or the Note Guarantees to this “Description of the 2026 Notes” to the extent that such provision in this “Description of the 2026 Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2026 Notes or the Note Guarantees.

The consent of the holders of the 2026 Notes is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver under the 2026 Notes Indenture by any holder given in connection with a tender or exchange of such holder’s 2026 Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender or exchange. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, the Issuers are required to deliver to each holder of the 2026 Notes at the holder’s address appearing in the security register a notice briefly describing the amendment. However, the failure to give this notice to all holders of the 2026 Notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment. In connection with any modification, amendment or supplement, the Issuers will deliver to the 2026 Notes Trustee an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate upon which the 2026 Notes Trustee may conclusively rely, each stating that such modification, amendment or supplement complies with the applicable provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture and such modification, amendment or supplement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Issuers, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

Defeasance and Discharge

The Issuers may discharge their obligations and the obligations of the Guarantors under the 2026 Notes, the Note Guarantees and the 2026 Notes Indenture, as applicable, by irrevocably depositing in trust with the 2026 Notes Trustee cash in U.S. Dollars, Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, sufficient, as confirmed, certified or attested by an Independent Financial Advisor, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the 2026 Notes to maturity or redemption within one year, subject to meeting certain other conditions.

The Issuers at any time may also terminate all of the Issuers’ and the Note Guarantors’ obligations under the 2026 Notes, the Note Guarantees and the 2026 Notes Indenture (“legal defeasance”), as applicable, except for

 

110


Table of Contents

certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the 2026 Notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen 2026 Notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the 2026 Notes. If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, the Note Guarantees in effect at such time will be automatically released.

The Issuers at any time may terminate:

(1) the obligations under the covenants described under “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control” and “—Certain Covenants” above (other than the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property,” except to the extent provided in clause (3) below);

(2) the operation of the cross acceleration provisions, the judgment default provisions, the bankruptcy provisions with respect any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, and the 2026 Note guarantee provisions with respect any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiary Guarantors that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in each case described under “—Events of Default” above; and

(3) the limitations contained in clause (d) under the first paragraph of “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property” above (“covenant defeasance”).

If the Issuers exercise their legal legal defeasance option, the Note Guarantees (other than the Note Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor) in effect at such time will be automatically released.

The Issuers may exercise their legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option. If the Issuers exercise their legal defeasance option, payment of the 2026 Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Issuers exercise their covenant defeasance option, payment of the 2026 Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clauses (4) (only with respect to covenants that are released as a result of such covenant defeasance), (5), (6), (7) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) or (8) (other than with respect to the Note Guarantee of the Parent Guarantor) under “—Events of Default” above or because of the failure of the Parent Guarantor to comply with clause (d) under the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property” above.

The legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option may be exercised only if:

Governing Law

The 2026 Notes Indenture, the 2026 Notes and the Note Guarantees are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

The Trustee

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is the trustee under the 2026 Notes Indenture and has been appointed by the Issuers as registrar and paying agent with regard to the 2026 Notes.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the 2026 Notes Trustee will perform only the duties as are specifically set forth in the 2026 Notes Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into the 2026 Notes Indenture against the 2026 Notes Trustee, where duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions of the 2026 Notes Indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the 2026 Notes Trustee will exercise the rights and powers vested in it under the 2026 Notes Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of that person’s own affairs.

If the 2026 Notes Trustee becomes a creditor of any Issuer or any Guarantor, the 2026 Notes Indenture limits the right of the 2026 Notes Trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations relating to the exchange of Original Notes for New Notes in the exchange offer. It does not contain a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange. This summary is limited to holders of Original Notes who hold the Original Notes as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (in general, assets held for investment). Special situations, such as the following, are not addressed:

 

   

tax consequences to holders who may be subject to special tax treatment, under U.S. federal income tax law, including, without limitation, tax-exempt entities, dealers in securities or currencies, banks, other financial institutions, insurance companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts or regulated investment companies, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings or corporations that accumulate earnings to avoid United States federal income tax;

 

   

tax consequences to persons holding notes as part of a hedging, integrated, constructive sale or conversion transaction or a straddle or other risk reduction transaction;

 

   

tax consequences to holders whose “functional currency” is not the United States dollar;

 

   

tax consequences to persons who hold notes through a partnership or similar pass-through entity;

 

   

tax consequences to U.S. expatriates or entities covered by the anti-inversion rules under the Code, persons who actually or constructively own more than 10% of our stock by vote or value, persons subject to the base erosion and anti-abuse tax, or holders who are members of an “expanded group” or modified expanded group” with the issuers within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Code Section 355;

 

   

United States federal gift tax, estate tax, tax, the Medicare contribution tax with respect to net investment income or alternative minimum tax consequences, if any; or

 

   

any state, local or non-United States tax consequences.

If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Original Notes, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If a holder is a partnership or a partner in a partnership holding Original Notes, such holder should his, her or its tax advisors.

The discussion below is based upon the provisions of the Code, existing and proposed Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and rulings, judicial decisions and administrative interpretations thereunder, as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below.

Consequences of Tendering Original Notes

The exchange of your Original Notes for New Notes in the exchange offer should not constitute an exchange for United States federal income tax purposes because the New Notes should not be considered to differ materially in kind or extent from the Original Notes. Accordingly, the exchange offer should have no United States federal income tax consequences to you if you exchange your Original Notes for New Notes. For example, there should be no change in your tax basis and your holding period should carry over to the New Notes. In addition, the United States federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of your New Notes should be the same as those applicable to your Original Notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

A broker-dealer that is the holder of Original Notes that were acquired for the account of such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, other than Original Notes acquired directly from us or any of our affiliates may exchange such Original Notes for New Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. This is true so long as each broker-dealer that receives New Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such New Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of New Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that for a period of 180 days after consummation of the exchange offer or such time as any broker-dealer no longer owns any registrable securities, we will make this prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. All dealers effecting transactions in the New Notes will be required to deliver a prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of New Notes by broker-dealers or any other holder of New Notes. New Notes received by broker-dealers for their own account in the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the New Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such New Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells New Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such New Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of instruction states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of 180 days after consummation of the exchange offer (or, if earlier, until such time as any broker-dealer no longer owns any registrable securities), we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that reasonably requests such documents. We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer and to our performance of, or compliance with, the registration rights agreements (other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers) and will indemnify the holders of the Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

the individual engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the articles of incorporation, subject to the provisions of HBCA Section 32(b)(5) which prohibit corporations from indemnifying directors against liability for (a) receipt of a financial benefit to which the director is not entitled, (b) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders, (c) approving an unlawful distribution to shareholders under Section 223 of the HBCA, or (d) an intentional violation of criminal law.

HBCA Section 243 provides that a corporation shall indemnify a director who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was a party because the director was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.

In addition, pursuant to HBCA Section 244, before final disposition of a proceeding, a corporation may also advance funds to pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director, if the director delivers to the corporation:

 

   

a written affirmation of the director’s good faith belief that (a) he or she has met the relevant standard of conduct described in HBCA Section 242 (referred to above), or (b) the proceeding involves conduct for which liability has been eliminated under a provision of the articles of incorporation, subject to the provisions of HBCA Section 32(b)(4) which prohibit corporations from eliminating directors’ liability for (i) receipt of a financial benefit to which the director is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders, (iii) approving an unlawful distribution to shareholders, or (iv) an intentional violation of criminal law; and

the director’s written undertaking to repay any funds advanced if the director is not entitled to mandatory indemnification under HBCA Section 243 (referred to above) and it is ultimately determined under Section 245 (referred to below) or 246 (non-court determination methods) of the HBCA that the director has not met the relevant standard of conduct described in HBCA Section 242 (referred to above).

Pursuant to HBCA Section 245, a director who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is a director may apply for indemnification or an advance for expenses to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. The court shall order indemnification or an advance for expenses (if applicable) upon determining that the director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under HBCA Section 243 (referred to above) or that such indemnification or advance is authorized by the corporation’s articles of incorporation or bylaws or is otherwise fair and reasonable in view of all the relevant circumstances.

HBCA Section 247 provides that a corporation may indemnify and advance expenses for an officer of the corporation who is a party to a proceeding because he or she is an officer of the corporation to the same extent as a director, except for liability in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation (other than reasonable expenses in connection with the proceeding). An officer is also entitled to mandatory indemnification and may apply to a court for indemnification or an advance of expenses to the same extent as a director pursuant to HBCA Sections 243 and 245 (referred to above).

The bylaws of each of Hawaii Vacation Title Services, Inc., Vistana Hawaii Management, Inc., and Vistana Vacation Services Hawaii, Inc. provide that such corporation (a) shall have the power to indemnify all directors, officers, employees, and agents of such corporation and (b) shall advance expenses reasonably incurred by such persons in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit, or proceeding, in accordance with and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

The bylaws of REP Holdings, Ltd. provide that the corporation shall indemnify its directors, officers, employees, and agents and persons serving, at the request of the corporation, as such of another entity. However, the bylaws impose a requirement that the indemnified person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is also mandatory for a person successful on the merits or otherwise. With respect to a suit by or in the right of the corporation, the bylaws provide for no indemnification if the person is adjudged liable for negligence or misconduct unless the court shall determine the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. The bylaws permit advancement of expenses upon receipt of an undertaking as required by statute.

In addition, HULLCA Section 103 provides that, subject to certain exceptions, all the members of a limited liability company may enter into an operating agreement to regulate the affairs of the company and the conduct of its business, and to govern relations among the members, managers, and company.

South Carolina

Corporations

Article 5 of Chapter 8 of Title 33 of the South Carolina Business Corporation Act of 1988 (the “Act”) governs the rights and obligations of a corporation with respect to indemnification of directors and officers of the corporation.

Directors—Under Section 33-8-510(a) of the Act, a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (1) he conducted himself in good faith; and (2) he reasonably believed: (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interest; and (ii) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interest; and (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Provided, however, under Section 33-8-510(d) of the Act, a corporation may not indemnify a director: (1) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (2) in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him. A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section 33-8-510 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-8-510(a). Indemnification in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

Officers—Under Section 33-8-560 of the Act, unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, an officer of the corporation who is not a director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 33-8-520 of the Act and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under Section 33-8-540 of the Act, in each case to the same extent as a director. A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent of the corporation who is not a director to the same extent as to a director; and a corporation also may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or agent who is not a director to the extent, consistent with public policy, that may be provided by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors, or contract.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as special counsel for Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MORI”), ILG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with MORI, the “Issuers”), each of the Delaware entities listed on Exhibit A hereto (the “Delaware Guarantors”) and each of the Florida, Hawaii and South Carolina entities listed on Exhibit B hereto (the “Other Guarantors” and, together with the Delaware Guarantors, the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor”). The Guarantors and the Issuers are collectively referred to herein as the “Registrants.” This opinion letter is being delivered in connection with the proposed registration by the Registrants of up to (i) $88,165,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “New 2023 Notes”) and (ii) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes” and, together with the New 2023 Notes, the “Exchange Notes”), each to be guaranteed by the Guarantors, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed on or about the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Such Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement.” The New 2023 Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of September 4, 2018, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “2023 Notes Indenture”). The New 2026 Notes are to be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of August 23, 2018, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “2026 Notes Indenture” and, together with the 2023 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures” and each an “Indenture”).

Guarantees”). The Exchange Notes are to be issued in exchange for the Issuers’ (i) 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 originally issued on September 4, 2018 in the aggregate principal amount of $88,165,000 (the “Original 2023 Notes”) and (ii) 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 originally issued on August 23, 2018 in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 (the “Original 2026 Notes” and, together with the Original 2023 Notes, the “Original Notes”).

We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including (i) certificates of incorporation, certificates of formation, bylaws, limited liability agreements, partnership agreements and other organizational documents, as applicable, of each of the Issuers and the Delaware Guarantors, (ii) resolutions or written consents of the board of directors, board of managers, manager, managing member, sole member or general partner, as applicable, of each of the Issuers and the Delaware Guarantors with respect to the issuance of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees, as applicable, (iii) the Indentures (including the Guarantees contained therein), (iv) the Registration Statement, (v) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 4, 2018, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as dealer managers for the exchange offer in connection with which the Original 2023 Notes were issued, (vi) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of August 23, 2018, by and among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representative of the initial purchasers of the Original 2026 Notes and (vii) forms of the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Issuers and the Delaware Guarantors. As to any facts material to the opinions expressed herein that we have not independently established or verified, we have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Issuers and the Guarantors.

We have also assumed that the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the Exchange Notes and the performance by the Issuers and the Guarantors of their respective obligations thereunder do not and will not violate, conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement or instrument to which any Registrant is bound.

Our opinion expressed below is subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principals of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (iii) public policy considerations that may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that when (i) the Registration Statement becomes effective, (ii) each Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, and (iii) the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees have been duly executed and authenticated in accordance with the provisions of the relevant Indenture and duly delivered to holders of the Original Notes in exchange for the Original Notes and the guarantees related thereto pursuant to the exchange offer described in the Registration Statement (assuming the due authorization and execution of the Guarantees by the Other Guarantors and the due delivery of the Guarantees by the Other Guarantors to holders of the Original Notes in exchange for the Original Notes and the guarantees related thereto), the Exchange Notes will be validly issued under the relevant Indenture and will be binding obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantees will be validly issued under the relevant Indenture and will be binding obligations of the Guarantors.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. We also consent to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Our advice on every legal issue addressed in this letter is based exclusively on the internal laws of the State of New York, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and represents our opinion as to how that issue would be resolved were it to be considered by the highest court in the jurisdiction which enacted such law. The manner in which any particular issue relating to the opinions would be treated in any actual court case would depend in part on facts and circumstances particular to the case and would also depend on how the court involved chose to exercise the wide discretionary authority generally available to it. We are not qualified to practice law in the State of Delaware and our opinions herein regarding Delaware law are limited solely to our review of provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and the Delaware Revised

None of the opinions or other advice contained in this letter considers or covers any foreign or state securities (or “blue sky”) laws or regulations.

This opinion is limited to the specific issues addressed herein, and no opinion may be inferred or implied beyond that expressly stated herein. This opinion speaks only as of the date hereof and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion.

This opinion is furnished to you in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act, and is not to be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise relied upon for any other purposes.

Re:    Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and ILG, LLC Registration Statement on Form S-4

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for the entities listed on Exhibit A hereto as guarantors (the “Florida Guarantors”) in connection with the filing by Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and ILG, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Issuers”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with respect to the issuance of up to (i) $88,165,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ new 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “New 2023 Notes”) and (ii) $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ new 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes” and together with the New 2023 Notes, the “New Notes”), which are to be unconditionally guaranteed by the Florida Guarantors as to the payment of principal and interest, in exchange for any and all of the Issuers’ issued and outstanding 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 and the Issuers’ issued and outstanding 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026, which are unconditionally guaranteed by the Florida Guarantors as to the payment of principal and interest and which were originally issued and sold by the Issuers in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and are subject to certain transfer restrictions.

The New 2023 Notes are to be issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of September 4, 2018, by and among the Issuers, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), the other guarantors party thereto including the Florida Guarantors and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “2023 Notes Indenture”). The New 2026 Notes are to be issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of August 23, 2018, by and among the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor, the other guarantors party thereto including the Florida Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “2026 Notes Indenture” and together with the 2023 Notes Indenture, the “Indentures”). The 2023 Notes Indenture includes the guarantees by the Florida Guarantors of the New 2023 Notes, and the 2026 Notes Indenture includes the guarantees by the Florida Guarantors of the New 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees”).

In connection with our representation of the Florida Guarantors and the preparation of this opinion letter, we have examined the following documents (collectively, the “Documents”):


1. the Organizational Documents of each of the Florida Guarantors (“Organizational Documents” including (i) with respect to a corporation, such corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, as amended through the date hereof, (ii) with respect to a limited liability company, such limited liability company’s Articles of Organization and Operating Agreement or other equivalent organizational documents, as amended through the date hereof, and (iii) with respect to a limited partnership, such limited partnership’s Certificate of Limited Partnership and Limited Partnership Agreement or other equivalent organizational documents, as amended through the date hereof;

2. resolutions adopted by, in the case of a corporation, the board of directors or, in the case of a limited liability company, the board of managers or sole member or, in the case of a limited partnership, the partners or general partner of each of the Florida Guarantors authorizing and approving the issuance of the Guarantees, certified as of the date hereof by an officer of each of the Florida Guarantors;

3. the Indentures;

4. the Registration Statement; and

5. such other documents and matters of law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the expression of the opinions contained herein.

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed, without investigation, the following: (i) the genuineness of all signatures and the authenticity of all Documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all Documents submitted to us as copies and the veracity of the Documents; (ii) that each individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so; and (iii) each of the parties (other than the Florida Guarantors) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the Documents to which such party is a signatory, and the obligations of each party set forth therein are legal, valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms.

In rendering our opinions, we have relied without investigation on the certificates of each of the Florida Guarantors, and have not independently verified any of the factual matters set forth in any document upon which we have relied. We have not been requested to conduct, nor have we undertaken, any independent investigation to verify the content or veracity thereof, or to determine the accuracy of any statement, and no inference as to our knowledge of any matters should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Florida Guarantors. We have not been asked, nor have we endeavored, to revise or comment upon the contents of the Registration Statement relating to the New Notes or the Guarantees.

While certain members of our firm are admitted to practice in other jurisdictions, for purposes of this letter, we have examined only the laws of the State of Florida. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to (i) the qualification of the New Notes or the Guarantees under the securities or blue sky laws of any federal, state or any foreign jurisdiction, (ii) the compliance with any federal or state law, rule or regulation relating to securities, or to the sale or issuance thereof, (iii) tax, insolvency, antitrust, pension, employee benefit, environmental, intellectual property, banking, insurance, labor, and health and safety laws or (iv) any county, municipality or other political subdivision or local governmental agency or authority laws.

 

2


Additionally, as to questions of fact in respect of the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have relied solely upon the Documents.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Each of the Florida Guarantors is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida and has the corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership power to enter into and perform its obligations under the Guarantees.

2. Each of the Florida Guarantors has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action to authorize the execution and delivery of and performance of its obligations under the Guarantees.

Please note that we are opining only as to the matters expressly set forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matter. We assume no obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that might change the opinions expressed herein after the date hereof. This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading “Legal Matters.” In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Sincerely,

GREENBERG TRAURIG, P.A.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as local counsel to (i) Marriott Resorts Hospitality Corporation, a South Carolina corporation (“MRHC”), (ii) Vistana MB Management, Inc., a South Carolina corporation (“VMBM”), and (iii) VSE Myrtle Beach, LLC, a South Carolina limited liability company (“VSEMB”), each as a subsidiary guarantor (in such capacity herein referred to collectively as the “Guarantors”), in connection with the Guarantors’ proposed guarantees, along with the other guarantors under the Indentures (as defined below), of (i) up to $88,165,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “New 2023 Notes”), in exchange for any and all of the outstanding unregistered $88,165,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023; and (ii) up to $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “New 2026 Notes” and, together with the New 2023 Notes, the “New Notes”), in exchange for any and all of the outstanding unregistered $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026. The New Notes are to be issued by Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. (“MORI”) and ILG, LLC (“ILG” and, together with MORI, the “Issuers”) in connection with an offering made pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (such Registration Statement, as supplemented or amended, is hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on or about the date hereof, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement is being filed in accordance with the registration rights agreements entered into by the Issuers, the guarantors party thereto, including the Guarantors, and certain dealer managers or initial purchasers, as applicable, on September 4, 2018 and August 23, 2018, and the joinder thereto, dated September 1, 2018. The Original 2026 Notes were issued on August 23, 2018 and the Original 2023 Notes were issued on September 4, 2018, in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, all of which are eligible to be exchanged for the respective New Notes. The New 2023 Notes will be issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, the indenture, dated as of September 4, 2018, by and among the Issuers, Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), the Guarantors and the other guarantors party thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and HSBC Bank USA, National Association, as trustee, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “2023 Indenture”). The New 2026 Notes will be issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, the indenture, dated as of August 23, 2018, by and among the Issuers, the Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors, including the Guarantors, and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, as amended and supplemented through the date hereof (the “2026 Indenture” and together with the 2023 Indenture, the “Indentures”). The 2023 Indenture includes the guarantees by the Guarantors of the New 2023 Notes, and the 2026 Indenture includes the guarantees by the Guarantors of the New 2026 Notes (collectively, the “Guarantees”).

In connection with this opinion, we have reviewed copies of the following documents, corporate records and other instruments: (i) the articles of incorporation, articles of organization, bylaws and operating agreement, as the case may be, of the respective Guarantors (the “Organizational Documents”), (ii) the omnibus unanimous consent in lieu of a meeting of the board of directors or member, as the case may be, of the respective Guarantors, (iii) the Registration Statement, and (iv) the Indentures.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Guarantors, and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Guarantors.

In rendering our opinions, we have relied without investigation on the certificates of each of the Guarantors, and have not independently verified any of the factual matters set forth in any document upon which we have relied. We have not been requested to conduct, nor have we undertaken, any independent investigation to verify the content or veracity thereof, or to determine the accuracy of any statement, and no inference as to our knowledge of any matters should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Guarantors. We have not been asked, nor have we endeavored, to revise or comment upon the contents of the Registration Statement relating to the New Notes or the Guarantees.

Our opinions expressed below are subject to the qualifications that we express no opinion as to the applicability of, compliance with, or effect of (i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (iii) public policy considerations which may limit the rights of parties to obtain certain remedies, (iv) any law except the statutory laws and regulations of the State of South Carolina and (v) the “Blue Sky” laws and regulations of South Carolina.

Based upon and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, assumptions and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:

The Reports of Condition and Income must be signed by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the reporting bank (or by the individual performing an equivalent function) and attested to by not less than two directors (trustees) for state non member banks and three directors for state member banks, national banks, and savings associations.

Submission of Reports

Each bank must file its Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) data by either:

(b)

Completing its Call Report in paper form and arranging with a software vendor or another party to convert the data in to the electronic format that can be processed by the CDR. The software vendor or other party then must electronically submit the bank’s data file to the CDR.

For technical assistance with submissions to the CDR, please contact the CDR Help Desk by telephone at (888) CDR-3111, by fax at (703) 774-3946, or by e-mail at CDR.Help@ffiec.gov.

The estimated average burden associated with this information collection is 50.4 hours per respondent and is estimated to vary from 20 to 775 hours per response, depending on individual circumstances. Burden estimates include the time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data in the required form, and completing the information collection, but exclude the time for compiling and maintaining business records in the normal course of a respondent’s activities. A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and an organization (or a person) is not required to respond to a collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden estimate and suggestions for reducing this burden should be directed to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Washington, DC 20503, and to one of the following: Secretary, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th and C Streets, NW, Washington, DC 20551; Legislative and Regulatory Analysis Division, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Washington, DC 20219; Assistant Executive Secretary, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Washington, DC 20429.

Schedule RC-C Part II - Loans to Small Businesses and Small Farms

Report the number and amount currently outstanding as of the report date of business loans with “original amounts” of $1,000,000 or less and farm loans with “original amounts” of $500,000 or less. The following guidelines should be used to determine the “original amount” of a loan:

(1) For loans drawn down under lines of credit or loan commitments, the “original amount” of the loan is the size of the line of credit or loan commitment when the line of credit or loan commitment was most recently approved, extended, or renewed prior to the report date. However, if the amount currently outstanding as of the report date exceeds this size, the “original amount” is the amount currently outstanding on the report date. (2) For loan participations and syndications, the “original amount” of the loan participation or syndication is the entire amount of the credit originated by the lead lender. (3) For all other loans, the “original amount” is the total amount of the loan at origination or the amount currently outstanding as of the report date, whichever is larger.

with respect to the Exchange Offers regarding the

of Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and ILG, LLC

 

 

THE EXCHANGE OFFERS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON [], 2019, unless extended

 

 

To My Broker or Account Representative:

I, the undersigned, hereby acknowledge receipt of the Prospectus, dated [●], 2019 (the “Prospectus”), of Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc. and ILG, LLC (together, the “Issuers”) with respect to the Issuers’ exchange offers set forth therein (the “Exchange Offers”). I understand that the Exchange Offers must be accepted on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on [●], 2019, unless extended.

This letter instructs you as to action to be taken by you relating to the Exchange Offers with respect to the Issuers’ 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 and/or 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026 (collectively, the “Original Notes”) held by you for the account of the undersigned.

The aggregate face amount of the Original Notes held by you for the account of the undersigned is (FILL IN AMOUNT):

   $

6.500% Senior Notes due 2026

   $

With respect to the Exchange Offers, the undersigned hereby instructs you (CHECK APPROPRIATE BOX(ES)):

 

TO TENDER the following Original Notes held by you for the account of the undersigned (INSERT PRINCIPAL AMOUNT AT MATURITY OF ORIGINAL NOTES TO BE TENDERED, IF ANY):

 

5.625% Senior Notes due 2023

   $

6.500% Senior Notes due 2026

   $
   (must be in integral multiples of $1,000)

 

NOT TO TENDER any Original Notes held by you for the account of the undersigned.

If the undersigned instructs you to tender any Original Notes held by you for the account of the undersigned, the undersigned hereby represents for the benefit of the Issuers and you that:

 

1.

the undersigned is acquiring the Issuers’ 5.625% Senior Notes due 2023 and/or 6.500% Senior Notes due 2026, for which the Original Notes will be exchanged (the “New Notes”), in the ordinary course of its business;

 

2.

neither the undersigned nor any other person acquiring New Notes in exchange for the undersigned’s Original Notes in the Exchange Offers is engaging in or intends to engage in a distribution of New Notes within the meaning of the federal securities laws;

 

3.

the undersigned is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, the distribution of New Notes;

 

4.

the undersigned is not an “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of either of the Issuers; and


5.

either the undersigned is not a broker-dealer and does not intend to engage in a distribution of the New Notes or, if the undersigned is a broker-dealer holding Original Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, the undersigned will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of New Notes received in respect of such Original Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offers.

Once the Issuers accept the tender of the Original Notes, this letter of instruction is a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Issuers.

The Issuers reserve the absolute right to:

 

1.

reject any and all tenders of any particular Original Notes not properly tendered;

 

2.

refuse to accept any Original Notes if, in their reasonable judgment or the judgment of their counsel, the acceptance would be unlawful; and

 

3.

waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of the Exchange Offers as to any particular Original Notes before the expiration of the Exchange Offers.

The undersigned also authorizes you to:

 

  (1)

confirm that the undersigned has made such representations; and

 

  (2)

take such other action as necessary under the Prospectus to effect the valid tender of such Original Notes.

The undersigned acknowledges that any person participating in the Exchange Offers for the purpose of distributing New Notes must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction of New Notes acquired by such person and cannot rely on the position of the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission set forth in no-action letters that are discussed in the section of the Prospectus entitled “The Exchange Offers.”

The Exchange Offers are subject to certain conditions, described in the Prospectus in the section entitled “The Exchange Offers—Conditions.”
