CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This prospectus, and documents that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus, contain
statements relating to our future results (including certain projections and business trends) that
are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as believe,
expect, anticipate, estimate, should, are likely to be, will and similar expressions.
There are risks and uncertainties as well as potential substantial costs relating to our announced
plans to divest the body systems business of our Light Vehicle Systems segment (LVS) and any of
the strategic options under which to pursue such divestiture. In the case of any sale of all or a
portion of the business, these risks and uncertainties include the timing and certainty of
completion of any sale, the terms upon which any purchase and sale agreement may be entered into
(including potential substantial costs) and whether closing conditions (some of which may not be
within our control) will be met. In the case of any shut down of portions of the business, these
risks and uncertainties include the amount of substantial severance and other payments as well as
the length of time we will continue to have to operate the business, which is likely to be longer
than in a sale scenario. There is also a risk of loss of customers of this business due to the
uncertainty as to the future of this business. In addition, actual results may differ materially
from those projected as a result of substantial costs, certain risks and uncertainties, including
but not limited to global economic and market cycles and conditions, including the recent global
economic crisis; the demand for commercial, specialty and light vehicles for which we supply
products; availability and sharply rising costs of raw materials, including steel; risks inherent
in operating abroad (including foreign currency exchange rates and potential disruption of
production and supply due to terrorist attacks or acts of aggression); whether our liquidity will
be affected by declining vehicle production volumes in the future; original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) program delays; demand for and market acceptance of new and existing products; successful
development of new products; reliance on major OEM customers; labor relations of our company, our
suppliers and customers, including potential disruptions in supply of parts to our facilities or
demand for our products due to work stoppages; the financial condition of our suppliers and
customers, including potential bankruptcies; possible adverse effects of any future suspension of
normal trade credit terms by our suppliers; potential difficulties competing with companies that
have avoided their existing contracts in bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings; successful
integration of acquired or merged businesses; the ability to achieve the expected annual savings
and synergies from past and future business combinations and the ability to achieve the expected
benefits of restructuring actions; success and timing of potential divestitures; potential
impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill; potential adjustment of the value of deferred
tax assets; competitive product and pricing pressures;
3
the amount of our debt; our ability to continue to comply with covenants in our financing
agreements; our ability to access capital markets; credit ratings of our debt; the outcome of
existing and any future legal proceedings, including any litigation with respect to environmental
or asbestos-related matters; the outcome of actual and potential product liability, warranty and
recall claims; rising costs of pension and other postretirement benefits; and possible changes in
accounting rules; as well as other substantial costs, risks and uncertainties, including but not
limited to those detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2009
and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. See also the following portions of our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 27, 2009: Item 1. Business, Customers;
Sales and Marketing; Competition; Raw Materials and Supplies; Strategic Initiatives;
Employees; Environmental Matters; International Operations; and Seasonality; Cyclicality;
Item 1A. Risk Factors; Item 3. Legal Proceedings; and Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These forward-looking statements are made only as
of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise
required by law.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus involves a high degree of risk.
You should carefully consider the information included and incorporated by reference in this
prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement before you decide to purchase these securities,
including the risk factors incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended September 27, 2009, as updated by periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC
after the date of this prospectus. Any of these risks could cause our actual results to vary
materially from recent results or from anticipated future results or could materially and adversely
affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The occurrence of any of these
risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in these securities. Please also
refer to the section above entitled Cautionary Statement.
USE OF PROCEEDS

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
We may issue the debt securities offered by this prospectus under an existing indenture dated as of
April 1, 1998, as supplemented as of July 7, 2000, July 6, 2004 and June 23, 2006, between us and
The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (as successor to BNY Midwest Trust Company as
successor to The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee. We have summarized certain provisions of this
indenture below. The summary is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
indenture. The indenture has been incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration
statement for these securities that we have filed with the SEC. In addition to our existing
indenture described below, we may issue subordinated and/or convertible debt securities, pursuant
to another indenture to be entered into after the date of this prospectus, the form of which has
been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement for the securities that we have filed with
the SEC. If we elect to issue debt securities under another indenture, we will describe certain
provisions of that indenture in a supplement to this prospectus. To the extent that debt
securities are guaranteed, the guarantees will be set forth in the applicable indenture or
supplements thereto.
When we offer to sell a particular series of debt securities, we will describe the specific terms
of the securities in a supplement to this prospectus.
We encourage you to carefully read the summary below, the applicable prospectus supplements and the
indenture.
General
Our existing indenture provides that we may issue debt securities in one or more series and does
not limit the amount of debt securities that may be issued. Unless we indicate otherwise in the
applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be unsecured and will rank equally with
all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. We may issue debt securities with
terms different from those of debt securities that we have previously issued. We may also issue
additional amounts of a series of debt securities without the consent of the holders of that
series.
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any series of debt securities being
offered, including the following:
|
|
the title and principal amount of the series, |
|
|
|
if other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies in which the debt securities are
denominated or payable and the manner for determining the equivalent amount in U.S. dollars; |
|
|
|
the date or dates on which the principal (and any premium) will be payable, or the method
for determining these date(s); |
5
|
|
the interest rate or rates, or the method of determining the rate or rates, at which the
debt securities will bear interest; |
|
|
|
the date or dates from which interest will accrue and the date or dates on which interest
will be payable; |
|
|
|
the place or places where payments will be made; |
|
|
|
any provisions for redemption of the debt securities at our option; |
|
|
|
any provisions that would obligate us to redeem or purchase the debt securities pursuant to
any sinking fund or analogous provisions or at the option of a holder; |
|
|
|
the portion of the principal amount that will be payable upon acceleration of stated
maturity, if other than the entire principal amount; |
|
|
|
whether we will issue the debt securities as registered securities, bearer securities or
both, and other terms with respect to bearer securities; |
|
|
|
whether we will issue the debt securities in the form of global securities, the depositary
for global securities and provisions for depository arrangements and other applicable terms; |
|
|
|
whether we will pay any additional amounts on the debt securities in respect of any tax,
assessment or governmental charge and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem the
debt securities rather than pay those additional amounts; |
|
|
|
any provision that would determine payments on the debt securities by reference to an
index; |
|
|
|
the person to whom we will pay any interest, if other than the record holder on the
applicable record date; |
|
|
|
the manner in which we will pay interest on any bearer debt security, if other than upon
presentation and surrender of the coupons; |
|
|
|
the manner in which any interest payable on any temporary global security will be paid on
an interest payment date; |
|
|
|
any changes in or additions to the events of default or covenants contained in the
indenture; |
|
|
|
any defeasance or covenant defeasance provisions; |
|
|
|
the designation of the initial exchange rate agent, if applicable; |
|
|
|
any conversion or exchange features of the debt securities; |
|
|
|
the terms of subordination applicable to any series of subordinated securities; |
|
|
|
the identity of the trustee, authenticating agent, security registrar and/or paying agent,
if other than the trustee; and |
|
|
|
any other terms of the debt securities (which will not conflict with the terms of the
indenture). |
We may sell the debt securities, including original issue discount securities, at a substantial
discount below their stated principal amount. If there are any material special U.S. federal
income tax considerations or other material special considerations applicable to debt securities we
sell at an original issue discount, we will describe them in the applicable prospectus supplement.
In addition, we will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any material special U.S.
federal income tax considerations and any other material special considerations for any debt
securities we sell which are denominated in a currency or currency unit other than U.S. dollars.
6
Other than the protections which may otherwise be afforded holders of debt securities as a result
of the operation of the covenants described under Covenants below or as may be made applicable
to the debt securities as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, there are no covenants
or other provisions contained in the indenture that may afford holders of debt securities
protection if there is a leveraged buyout or other highly leveraged transaction involving us.
Form and Denominations
We may issue a particular series of debt securities as registered securities, bearer securities or
as both registered and bearer securities. Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable
prospectus supplement, we will issue registered securities denominated in U.S. dollars in multiples
of $1,000 and bearer securities denominated in U.S. dollars in multiples of $10,000. The indenture
provides that we may issue debt securities in global form and in any denomination. Please see
Global Securities below. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement,
bearer securities (other than global securities) will have interest coupons attached.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange
A holder may exchange registered debt securities for other registered debt securities of the same
series, in authorized denominations and with the same principal amount and terms. If debt
securities of any series may be issued in both registered and bearer form, the holder may, subject
to applicable laws, exchange bearer debt securities for registered debt securities of the same
series, in authorized denominations and with the same principal amount and terms. All unmatured
coupons, and all matured coupons in default, must be surrendered with the bearer debt security,
with one exception. If a holder surrenders bearer debt securities in exchange for registered debt
securities of the same series after a record date for the payment of interest and before the
interest payment date, the bearer debt securities will be surrendered without the coupon relating
to the interest payment. Interest will not be payable in respect of the registered debt security
issued in exchange for the bearer debt security, and will be payable only to the holder of the
coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the
prospectus supplement relating to a particular series, bearer debt securities will not be issued in
exchange for registered debt securities.
Debt securities may be exchanged, and a transfer of registered debt securities may be registered,
at the office of the security registrar. We may also designate a transfer agent for this purpose
for any series of debt securities. No service charge will be made for any exchange or transfer, but
payment of any taxes or other governmental charges will be required. We may change the place for
exchange and registration of transfer, and may rescind any designation of a transfer agent, at any
time. If debt securities of a series are issuable in registered form, we will be required to
maintain a transfer agent in each place of payment for that series. If debt securities of a series
are issuable in bearer form, we will be required to maintain (in addition to the security
registrar) a transfer agent in a place of payment for that series located outside the United
States. We may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to any series of debt
securities.
If debt securities of a particular series are to be redeemed, we will not be required to issue,
exchange or register the transfer of:
|
|
any debt securities of that series, during a period beginning 15 days before selection of
debt securities to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day the redemption
notice is mailed (in the case of registered debt securities) or the day the notice of
redemption is first published (in the case of bearer debt securities); |
|
|
|
any registered debt security selected for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any
debt security being redeemed in part; or |
|
|
|
any bearer debt security selected for redemption unless it is exchanged for a registered
debt security of that series and the registered debt security is then surrendered for
redemption. |
Global Securities
We may issue one or more series of the debt securities in the form of global securities that will
be deposited with a depositary. This means that we will not issue certificates to each holder of
debt securities of that series. Instead, one or
7
more global securities will be issued to the depositary, which will keep a computerized record of
its participants (for example, your broker) whose clients have purchased these debt securities. The
participant will then keep a record of its clients who purchased these debt securities.
Beneficial interests in global securities will be shown on, and transfers of those interests will
be made only through, records maintained by the depositary and its participants. We will make
payments on the debt securities represented by a global security only to the depositary, as the
registered holder of these debt securities. All payments to the participants are the responsibility
of the depositary, and all payments to the beneficial holders of the debt securities are the
responsibility of the participants.
Certificates for the debt securities of the series in question may be issued to beneficial holders
in some circumstances, including termination of the depositary arrangements by us or the
depositary.
If debt securities are to be issued as global securities, the prospectus supplement will name the
depositary and will describe the depository arrangements and other applicable terms.
Payment and Paying Agents
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payments for registered debt
securities will be made at the office of the trustee in New York, New York. However, we may choose
instead to pay interest on registered debt securities by (i) check mailed to the address of the
registered owner or (ii) transfer to an account located in the United States maintained by the
registered owner. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each interest
payment on registered debt securities will be made to the person in whose name the debt security is
registered at the close of business on the regular record date for the interest payment.
We may from time to time designate additional offices or agencies for payment with respect to any
debt securities, approve a change in the location of any such office or agency and, except as
provided above, rescind the designation of any such office or agency.
Payments on any debt securities that are payable in a currency other than dollars may be made in
dollars in certain circumstances when that currency is no longer used. The prospectus supplement
for any such debt securities will describe the circumstances in which this will occur.
Any moneys we deposit with the trustee or paying agent for the payment of principal (or premium, if
any) or interest, if any, on any debt security or coupon that remains unclaimed at the end of two
years after the payment is due and payable will be repaid to us upon our request. Thereafter, the
holder of the debt security or coupon will look only to us for that payment.
Guarantees
Certain subsidiaries of ours named as registrants in the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part, or any combination of them, may guarantee any or all of the series of debt
securities. Guarantees may be full or limited, senior or subordinated, secured or unsecured, or any
combination thereof. In all cases, however, the obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee
will be limited as necessary to prevent the guarantee from being rendered voidable under fraudulent
conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally. The
guarantees will not place a limitation on the amount of additional indebtedness that may be
incurred by the guarantors.
Certain Definitions
The following is a summary of certain defined terms used in the restrictive covenants contained in
the indenture. We refer you to the indenture for a full description of all of these terms, as well
as any other terms used for which no definition is provided.
|
|
Subsidiary means a corporation of which we directly or indirectly own sufficient shares
of voting stock to elect a majority of the board of directors. |
8

|
Restricted subsidiary means any subsidiary other than an unrestricted subsidiary.
Wholly-owned restricted subsidiary means a restricted subsidiary of which we directly or
indirectly own all of the outstanding capital stock and all of the funded debt. |
|
|
|
Unrestricted subsidiary means any subsidiary we designate as such from time to time. We
may from time to time designate any restricted subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary and
any unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary; provided that: |
|
|
|
we may not designate a subsidiary as an unrestricted subsidiary unless at the time of
the designation the subsidiary does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of
any restricted subsidiary or any funded debt or secured debt of ours or any of our
restricted subsidiaries; and |
|
|
|
|
we may not designate a subsidiary as restricted or unrestricted unless, immediately
after the designation, no default or event of default under the indenture will exist. |
Unrestricted subsidiaries will not be restricted by the various provisions of the indenture
applicable to restricted subsidiaries, and the debt of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be
consolidated with that of us or our restricted subsidiaries in calculating consolidated funded debt
under the indenture.
|
|
Consolidated funded debt means the funded debt of us and our restricted subsidiaries,
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Funded debt means
(a) indebtedness for money borrowed having a maturity of more than 12 months, (b) certain
obligations in respect of lease rentals and (c) the higher of the par value or liquidation

Secured debt means indebtedness for money borrowed (other than indebtedness among us and
our restricted subsidiaries), which is secured by a mortgage or other lien on any principal
property of ours or a restricted subsidiary or a pledge, lien or other security interest on
the stock or indebtedness of a restricted subsidiary. |
|
|
|
Principal property includes any real property (including buildings and other
improvements) of ours or a restricted subsidiary, owned at or acquired after April 1, 1998
(other than any pollution control facility, cogeneration facility or small power production
facility acquired after April 1, 1998), which (i) has a book value in excess of 2.5% of
consolidated net tangible assets and (ii) in the opinion of our board of directors is of
material importance to the total business conducted by us and our restricted subsidiaries as a
whole. |
|
|
|
Consolidated net tangible assets means, at any date of computation, the total amount of
our consolidated assets and our consolidated subsidiaries, less the sum of (a) all current
liabilities, except for (i) any short-term debt, (ii) any current portion of long-term debt
and (iii) any current portion of obligations under capital leases, and (b) all goodwill, trade
names, trademarks, patents, unamortized debt discount and expense (less unamortized debt
premium) and other like intangibles as shown on a balance sheet of us and our consolidated
subsidiaries prepared not more than 90 days prior to the date of computation, in all cases
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. |
|
|
|
Sale and lease-back transaction means, subject to certain exceptions, sales or transfers
of any principal property owned by us or any restricted subsidiary which has been in full
operation for more than 180 days prior to the sale or transfer, where we have or the
restricted subsidiary has the intention of leasing back the property for more than 36 months
but discontinuing the use of the property on or before the expiration of the term of the
lease. |
Covenants
Limitations on Liens. We and our restricted subsidiaries may not create, incur, assume or suffer to
exist any secured debt without equally and ratably securing the outstanding debt securities. These
restrictions do not apply to:
|
|
secured debt existing at April 1, 1998; |
9
|
|
liens on property acquired or constructed after April 1, 1998 by us or a restricted
subsidiary and created at the time of, or within twelve months after, the acquisition or the
completion of the construction to secure all or any part of the purchase price of the property
or the cost of the construction; |
|
|
|
mortgages on property of ours or a restricted subsidiary created within twelve months of
completion of construction of a new plant or plants on the property to secure all or part of
the cost of the construction; |
|
|
|
liens on property existing at the time the property is acquired; |
|
|
|
liens on stock acquired after April 1, 1998 by us or a restricted subsidiary if the
aggregate cost of all such stock does not exceed 15% of consolidated net tangible assets; |
|
|
|
liens securing indebtedness of a successor corporation of ours to the extent permitted by
the indenture; |
|
|
|
liens securing indebtedness of a restricted subsidiary outstanding at the time it became a
restricted subsidiary; |
|
|
|
liens securing indebtedness of any person outstanding at the time it is merged with or

extensions, renewals or replacements of the foregoing permitted liens to the extent of
their original amounts; |
|
|
|
liens in connection with government and certain other contracts; |
|
|
|
certain liens in connection with taxes or legal proceedings; |
|
|
|
certain other liens not related to the borrowing of money; and |
|
|
|
liens in connection with sale and lease-back transactions as described under Limitations
on Sale and Lease-Back. |
In addition, we and our restricted subsidiaries may have secured debt not otherwise permitted
without equally and ratably securing the outstanding debt securities if the sum of:
|
|
the amount of such secured debt, plus |
|
|
|
the aggregate value of sale and lease-back transactions (subject to certain exceptions)
described below, does not exceed 15% of consolidated net tangible assets. |
Limitations on Sale and Lease-Back. Sale and lease-back transactions are prohibited unless:
|
|
we or our restricted subsidiaries are entitled to incur secured debt equal to the amount
realizable upon the sale or transfer secured by a mortgage on the property to be leased
without equally and ratably securing the outstanding debt securities; or |
|
|
|
an amount equal to the greater of net proceeds of the sale or fair value of the property
sold as determined by our board of directors is applied within 180 days of the transaction: |
10
|
|
|
to the retirement of consolidated funded debt or indebtedness of ours or a restricted
subsidiary that was funded debt at the time it was created; or |
|
|
|
|
to the purchase of other principal property having a value at least equal to the greater of such amounts; or |
|
|
the sale and lease-back transaction involved was an industrial revenue bond, pollution control bond or similar
financing arrangement between us or any restricted subsidiary and any federal, state, municipal government or other
governmental body or agency. |
Limitations on Certain Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. We may consolidate with or
merge into any other corporation, or convey or transfer our properties and assets substantially as
an entirety to any other entity, so long as certain specified conditions are met, including:
|
|
the corporation surviving the merger or consolidation, or which acquires the assets, is
organized under the laws of the United States, or any state of the United States, and
expressly assumes our obligations under the indenture; and |
|
|
|
after giving effect to the transaction, there is no event of default under the indenture
(as defined below) or event which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an
event of default. |
If, upon our merger or consolidation or any conveyance or transfer of our properties and assets,
any principal property of ours or a restricted subsidiary would become subject to any mortgage,
security interest, pledge, lien or encumbrance not otherwise permitted under the indenture, we
will, prior to the transaction, secure the outstanding debt securities, equally and ratably with
any other indebtedness then entitled to be so secured, by a direct lien on the principal property
and certain other properties. The successor corporation formed by the consolidation or merger, or
to which the conveyance or transfer is made, shall succeed to and be substituted for us under the
indenture and thereafter we will be relieved of all obligations and covenants under the indenture,
the debt securities and any coupons.
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Defeasance. The prospectus supplement will state whether the indentures defeasance provisions
apply to the series of debt securities being offered. If these provisions do apply, we will be
discharged from our obligations in respect of the debt securities of the series if we irrevocably
deposit with the trustee, in trust, sufficient money or U.S. government securities to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any other sums payable on the debt
securities when due. We must also deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that
the holders of the debt securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to the same
federal income tax consequences as if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. The
opinion must be based on a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable federal
income tax law that occurred after April 1, 1998. In the event of the deposit and discharge, the
holders of the debt securities would thereafter be entitled to look only to the trust fund for
payments on the debt securities.
Covenant Defeasance. The prospectus supplement will state whether the indentures covenant
defeasance provisions apply to the series of debt securities being offered. If these provisions
apply, (i) we may omit to comply with certain covenants (including the limitations on liens and
sale and lease-back transactions) and (ii) the noncompliance will not be deemed to be an event of
default under the indenture and the debt securities, if we irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in
trust, sufficient money or U.S. government securities to pay the principal of (and premium, if
any), interest, if any, and any other sums payable on the debt securities when due. We must also
deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit
and defeasance of certain obligations and will be subject to the same federal income tax
consequences as if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred. Our obligations under
the indenture and debt securities other than with respect to the covenants referred to above and
the events of default other than the event of default referred to above will remain in full force
and effect.
11
Modification of Indenture and Waiver of Certain Covenants
Without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of each series affected, we and the
trustee may execute a supplemental indenture for limited purposes, including adding to our
covenants or events of default, curing ambiguities, appointing a successor trustee and other
changes that do not adversely affect the rights of a holder of debt securities.
With the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of each series affected, we and the trustee may also execute a supplemental indenture to
change the indenture or modify the rights of the holders of debt securities of any series.
However, the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security affected is required for
execution of a supplemental indenture that would (i) change the maturity of principal of or
interest, if any, on any debt security, reduce the amount of any principal, premium or interest
payment, change the currency in which any debt security is payable or impair the right to bring
suit to enforce any payment rights, or (ii) reduce the percentage of holders of debt securities of
the series whose consent is required to authorize the supplemental indenture.
The holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of any series
may waive our compliance with certain covenants in the indenture with respect to that series.
The indenture contains provisions for determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage
of outstanding principal amount of a series of debt securities have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of
holders of debt securities, in cases where debt securities were issued at a discount, where the
principal amount was denominated in a foreign currency, or where the principal amount is determined
with reference to an index. In addition, for these purposes, debt securities owned by us or our
affiliates are deemed not to be outstanding. The indenture also contains provisions for convening
meetings of the holders of a series issuable as bearer debt securities, which may be called by the
trustee and also by us or the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the outstanding debt
securities of that series.
Defaults and Certain Rights on Default
An event of default with respect to any series of debt securities is defined in the indenture as
any of the following events:
|
|
failure to pay any interest on the debt securities of the series for 30 days after it is
due; |
|
|
|
failure to pay principal of (and premium, if any, on) the debt securities of the series
when due, whether at maturity, upon acceleration or upon redemption; |
|
|
|
failure to perform any other covenant in the indenture for 90 days after notice; |
|
|
|
certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or reorganization relating to us; or |
|
|
|
any other event of default made applicable to a particular series of debt securities and
described in the applicable prospectus supplement for that series. |
An event of default for a particular series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an
event of default for any other series. We are required to deliver to the trustee annually a written
statement as to the fulfillment of our obligations under the indenture.
If an event of default for any series of debt securities occurs and continues, the trustee or the
holders of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of the series
may declare the principal amount of all the debt securities of the series to be immediately due and
payable. The declaration may, under certain circumstances, be rescinded by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of the series.
Other than its duties in case of an event of default, the trustee is not obligated to exercise any
of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any of the holders of debt
securities, unless the holders offer to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity. If they
provide this reasonable security or indemnity, subject to certain limitations described in the
indenture, the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of
any
12
series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. The
holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the debt securities of any series may
waive any past default with respect to debt securities of the series except a default in payment on
any of the debt securities of the series or a default with respect to a covenant that cannot be
modified without the consent of the holder of each debt security affected.
Conversion Rights
If applicable, the terms of debt securities of any series that are convertible into or exchangeable
for our common stock or other securities will be described in an applicable prospectus supplement.
These terms will describe whether conversion or exchange is mandatory, at the option of the holder
or at our option. These terms may include provisions pursuant to which the number of shares of our
common stock or other securities to be received by the holders of debt securities would be subject
to adjustment.
Governing Law
The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York.
Concerning the Trustee
The trustee is one of a number of banks with which we maintain ordinary banking relationships and
credit facilities.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following description of our capital stock, as amended or superseded by any applicable
prospectus supplement, includes a summary of certain provisions of our restated articles of
incorporation, our amended by-laws and our shareholder rights plan. This description is subject to
the detailed provisions of, and is qualified by reference to, our restated articles of
incorporation, our amended by-laws and our shareholder rights plan, copies of which have been filed
as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
We are authorized to issue (1) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $1 per
share, of which 74,269,521 shares were outstanding as of November 2, 2009 and (2) 30,000,000 shares
of preferred stock, without par value, of which 2,000,000 shares are designated as Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock for issuance in connection with the exercise of our preferred share
purchase rights. For a more detailed discussion of our preferred share purchase rights and how they
relate to our common stock, see Shareholder Rights Plan. The authorized shares of our common
stock and preferred stock are available for issuance without further action by our shareowners,
unless the action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange or automated
quotation system on which our securities may be listed or traded. If the approval of our
shareowners is not so required, our board of directors may determine not to seek shareowner
approval.
Certain of the provisions described below could have the effect of discouraging transactions that
might lead to a change of control of us. In addition, see Shareholder Rights Plan below. These
provisions:
|
|
establish a classified board of directors whereby our directors are elected for staggered
terms in office so that only one-third of our directors stand for election in any one year; |
|
|
|
require shareowners to provide advance notice of any shareowner nominations of directors or
any proposal of new business to be considered at any meeting of shareowners; |
|
|
|
require a supermajority vote to remove a director or to amend or repeal certain provisions
of our restated articles of incorporation; |
|
|
|
require that any action by written consent of shareowners without a meeting be unanimous; |
13
|
|
preclude shareowners from amending our by-laws or calling a special meeting of shareowners;
and |
|
|
|
include fair price provisions and other restrictions on certain business combinations. |
Common Stock
Holders of our common stock are entitled to such dividends as may be declared by our board of
directors out of funds legally available for such purpose. Dividends may not be paid on common
stock unless all accrued dividends on preferred stock, if any, have been paid or declared and set
aside. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock
will be entitled to share pro rata in the assets remaining after payment to creditors and after
payment of the liquidation preference plus any unpaid dividends to holders of any outstanding
preferred stock.
Each holder of our common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock outstanding
in the holders name. No holder of common stock is entitled to cumulate votes in voting for
directors. Our restated articles of incorporation provide that, unless otherwise determined by our
board of directors, no holder of our common stock has any preemptive right to purchase or subscribe
for any stock of any class which we may issue or sell.
The Bank of New York is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.
Preferred Stock
General. Our restated articles of incorporation permit us to issue up to 30,000,000 shares of our
preferred stock in one or more series and with rights and preferences that may be fixed or
designated by our board of directors without any further action by our shareowners. The
designations and the relative rights, preferences and limitations of the preferred stock of each
series will be fixed by an amendment to our restated articles of incorporation relating to each
series adopted by our board, including:
|
|
the maximum number of shares in the series and the distinctive designation; |
|
|
|
the terms on which dividends, if any, will be paid; |
|
|
|
the terms on which the shares may be redeemed, if at all; |
|
|
|
the terms of any sinking fund for the purchase or redemption of the shares of the series; |
|
|
|
the amounts payable on shares in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up; |
|
|
|
the terms and conditions, if any, on which the shares of the series shall be convertible
into our shares of any other class or series or any other securities of ours or of any other
corporation; |
|
|
|
the restrictions on the issuance of shares of the same series or any other class or series;
and |
|
|
|
the voting rights, if any, of the shares of the series. |
Although our board of directors has no intention at the present time of doing so, it could issue a
series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of the series, impede the completion
of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
Our restated articles of incorporation authorize us to issue up to 2,000,000 shares designated as
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. For a description of the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, see Shareholder Rights Plan.

Certain Provisions in our Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended By-Laws
Our restated articles of incorporation and amended by-laws contain various provisions intended to
(1) promote the stability of our shareowner base and (2) render more difficult certain unsolicited
or hostile attempts to take us over which could disrupt us, divert the attention of our directors,
officers and employees and adversely affect the independence and integrity of our business.
Pursuant to our restated articles of incorporation, the number of directors is fixed by our board
of directors. Other than directors elected by the holders of any series of preferred stock or any
other series or class of stock except common stock, our directors are divided into three classes,
each class to consist as nearly as possible of one-third of the directors. Our amended by-laws
provide that directors elected by shareowners at an annual meeting of shareowners will be elected
by a plurality of all votes cast. Under our majority voting policy (which is not part of our
by-laws), any nominee for director who is elected but who receives a greater number of withheld
votes than for votes in an uncontested election is required to tender his or her resignation
after the certification of the shareowner vote. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee
considers the resignation and recommends to our board of directors what action should be taken.
Under our majority voting policy, our board of directors is required to take action and publicly
disclose the decision and its underlying rationale within 90 days of the shareowner vote.
Currently, the terms of office of the three classes of directors expire, respectively, at our
annual meetings in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The term of the successors of each such class of directors
expires three years from the year of election.
Our restated articles of incorporation contains a fair price provision pursuant to which a business
combination (as defined in our restated articles of incorporation) between us or one of our
subsidiaries and an interested shareowner (as defined in our restated articles of incorporation)
requires approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80 percent of the voting
power of all of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, voting together as a single class, unless the business combination is approved by at
least two-thirds of the continuing directors (as defined in our restated articles of incorporation)
or certain fair price criteria and procedural requirements specified in the fair price provision
are met.
Any amendment or repeal of the fair price provision, or the adoption of provisions inconsistent
therewith, must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than 80 percent of
the voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class, unless the amendment, repeal or adoption were
approved by at least two-thirds of the continuing directors.
Our restated articles of incorporation and amended by-laws provide that a special meeting of
shareowners may be called only by a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of
directors which we would have if there were no vacancies. Shareowners are not permitted to call, or
to require that the board of directors call, a special meeting of shareowners. Moreover, the
business permitted to be conducted at any special meeting of shareowners is limited to the business
brought before the meeting pursuant to the notice of the meeting given by us. Our amended by-laws
establish an advance notice procedure for shareowners to nominate candidates for election as
directors or to bring other business before meetings of our shareowners.
Our restated articles of incorporation provide that the affirmative vote of at least 80 percent of
the voting power of all of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, voting together as a single class, would be required to amend or repeal the
provisions of our articles with respect to the election or removal of directors, the right to call
a special shareowners meeting, business combinations, or the right to adopt any provision
inconsistent with the preceding provisions. In addition, our restated articles of incorporation
provide that our board of directors has exclusive authority to make, alter, amend and repeal our
by-laws and that our shareowners have no power to do so.
Shareholder Rights Plan
Each outstanding share of our common stock also evidences one preferred share purchase right. Upon
the occurrence of certain events described below, each preferred share purchase right will entitle
the registered holder to purchase from us one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock, at a price of $100, subject to adjustment. The terms of the
preferred share purchase rights are set forth in the rights agreement dated as of July 3, 2000
between us and The Bank of New York (as successor to EquiServe Trust Company, N.A.), as rights
agent.
15
Until the earlier to occur of (1) ten days following a public announcement that a person or group
of affiliated or associated persons has acquired beneficial ownership of 15% or more of our
outstanding common stock (an acquiring person) or (2) ten business days, or such later date as may
be determined by our board of directors prior to that time as any person or group becomes an
acquiring person, following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation
of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of affiliated or associated
persons of 15% or more of our outstanding common stock, the earlier of those dates being called the
rights distribution date, preferred share purchase rights will be attached to our common stock and
will be owned by the registered owners of common stock.
Our shareholder rights plan provides that, until the preferred share purchase rights are no longer
attached to our common stock, or until the earlier redemption or expiration of the preferred share
purchase rights:
|
|
the preferred share purchase rights will be transferred with and only with common stock; |
|
|
|
certificates representing our common stock and statements in respect of shares of our
common stock registered in book-entry or uncertificated form will contain a notation
incorporating the terms of the preferred share purchase rights by reference; and |
|
|
|
the transfer of any shares of our common stock will also constitute the transfer of the
associated preferred share purchase rights. |
As soon as practicable following the date the preferred share purchase rights are no longer
attached to our common stock, separate certificates evidencing preferred share purchase rights will
be mailed to holders of record of common stock as of the close of business on the date the
preferred share purchase rights are no longer attached to our common stock and the separate
certificates alone will evidence preferred share purchase rights.
Preferred share purchase rights are not exercisable until the rights distribution date. Preferred
share purchase rights will expire on July 7, 2010, unless this expiration date is extended or
unless preferred share purchase rights are earlier redeemed by us, in each case, as described
below.
The purchase price payable, and the number of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the preferred share purchase
rights will be subject to adjustment from time to time to prevent dilution upon the occurrence of
the following events:
|
|
a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, combination or reclassification of, Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock; |
|
|
|
the grant to holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of certain
rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock at a price, or securities convertible into shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock with a conversion price, less than the then current market price
of the shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock; or |
|
|
|
the distribution to holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of
evidences of indebtedness or assets excluding regular periodic cash dividends or dividends
payable in shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock or of subscription rights
or warrants, other than those referred to above. |
The number of outstanding preferred share purchase rights and the number of one one-hundredths of a
share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of each preferred
share purchase right are also subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split of common stock
or a stock dividend on common stock payable in common stock or subdivisions, consolidations or
combinations of common stock occurring, in any of those cases, prior to the date the preferred
share purchase rights are no longer attached to the common stock.
We cannot redeem shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise
of preferred share purchase rights. Holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock are
entitled, in preference to holders of common stock, to such dividends as the board of directors may
declare out of funds legally available for the purpose.
16
Each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock is entitled to a minimum preferential
quarterly dividend payment of $1 per share but is entitled to an aggregate dividend of 100 times
the dividend declared per share of common stock whenever such dividend is declared. In the event of
liquidation, the holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock will be entitled to a
minimum preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate
payment of 100 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock will have 100 votes, voting together with common stock. In the event
of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of common stock are exchanged,
each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 100 times
the amount received per share of common stock. These rights will be protected by customary
antidilution provisions.
Because of the nature of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stocks dividend, liquidation
and voting rights, the value of the one one-hundredth interest in a share of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of each preferred share purchase right
should approximate the value of one share of common stock.
In the event that, at any time after a person has become an acquiring person, we are acquired in a
merger or other business combination transaction, any person consolidates with or merges into us
and our common stock is changed or exchanged for securities of any other person, or 50% or more of
our consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper provision will be made so that each
holder of a preferred share purchase right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the
exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of a preferred share purchase right, that
number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of the transaction will
have a market value of two times the exercise price of a preferred share purchase right. In the
event that any person becomes an acquiring person, proper provision will be made so that each
holder of a preferred share purchase right, other than preferred share purchase rights beneficially
owned by the acquiring person, which will thereafter be void, will thereafter have the right to
receive upon exercise, instead of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, the
number of shares of common stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of a
preferred share purchase right.
At any time after any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an acquiring
person, and prior to the acquisition by the acquiring person of 50% or more of our outstanding
shares of common stock, our board of directors may exchange preferred share purchase rights, other
than preferred share purchase rights owned by the acquiring person, which will have become void
after the person became an acquiring person, for common stock or Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one
one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock or of a share of another
series of preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges, per preferred share
purchase right, subject to adjustment.
With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the purchase price payable upon exercise of the preferred
share purchase rights will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at
least 1%. No fractional shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock will be issued,
other than fractions which are integral multiples of one one-hundredth of a share of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock, which may, at our election, be evidenced by depository
receipts. Instead, an adjustment in cash will be made based on the market price of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock on the last trading day prior to the date of exercise.
At any time prior to any person becoming an acquiring person, our board of directors may redeem
preferred share purchase rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per preferred share
purchase right. The redemption of preferred share purchase rights may be made effective at such
time, on such basis and with such conditions as our board of directors may determine, in its sole
discretion. Immediately upon any redemption of preferred share purchase rights, the right to
exercise preferred share purchase rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of
preferred share purchase rights will be to receive the redemption price.
The terms of the preferred share purchase rights may be amended by our board of directors without
the consent of the holders of preferred share purchase rights, including an amendment to decrease
the threshold at which a person becomes an acquiring person from 15% to not less than 10%, except
that from and after such time as any person becomes an acquiring person, no such amendment may
adversely affect the interests of the holders of preferred share purchase rights.
Until a preferred share purchase right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no
rights as a shareowner of ours, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive
dividends.
17
The preferred share purchase rights will have certain anti-takeover effects. The preferred share
purchase rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on
terms not approved by our board of directors. The preferred share purchase rights should not
interfere with any merger or business combination approved by our board of directors, since the
preferred share purchase rights may either be redeemed by us prior to the time that a person or
group has become an acquiring person or otherwise be made inapplicable.
The foregoing summary of the material terms of the preferred share purchase rights is qualified by
reference to our shareholder rights plan, a copy of which is on file with the SEC.
Indiana Restrictions on Business Combinations
The Indiana Business Corporation Law contains a statutory antitakeover defense that restricts the
ability of a resident domestic corporation to engage in any business combination with an
interested shareholder for five years after the interested shareholders date of acquiring shares
unless the business combination or the purchase of shares by the interested shareholder on the
interested shareholders share acquisition date is approved by the board of directors of the
resident domestic corporation before that date. If the combination was not previously approved, the
interested shareholder may effect a combination after the five-year period only if the shareholder
receives approval from a majority of the disinterested shares or the offer meets certain fair price
criteria. For purposes of these provisions, resident domestic corporation means an Indiana
corporation that has 100 or more shareholders. Interested shareholder means any person, other
than the resident domestic corporation or its subsidiaries, who is (1) the beneficial owner,
directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of the
resident domestic corporation or (2) an affiliate or associate of the resident domestic corporation
and at any time within the five-year period immediately before the date in question was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of the resident
domestic corporation. These provisions do not apply to a corporation that so elects in its original
articles of incorporation or in an amendment to its articles of incorporation approved by a
majority of the disinterested shares. Such an amendment, however, would not become effective for 18
months after its passage and would apply only to stock acquisitions occurring after its effective
date. Our restated articles of incorporation do not exclude us from these provisions.

except to the extent that the consent of debt warrant holders may be required for certain
modifications of the terms of an indenture or form of the debt security, as the case may be, and
the series of debt securities issuable upon exercise of the debt warrants. In addition, debt
warrant holders will not be entitled to payments of principal of and interest, if any, on the debt

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities offered by this prospectus from time to time in one or more
transactions, including without limitation:
|
|
to or through underwriters or dealers; |
|
|
|
directly to purchasers or to a single purchaser; |
|
|
|
through agents; or |
|
|
|
through a combination of any of these methods. |
The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of the securities
covered by this prospectus, including:
|
|
the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of securities
underwritten or purchased by each of them; |
19
|
|
any delayed delivery arrangements; |
|
|
|
the public offering price or purchase price of the securities and the proceeds to us from
the sale of the securities and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed
or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents; and |
|
|
|
any securities exchanges on which the securities may be listed. |
The offer and sale of the securities described in this prospectus by us, underwriters or the third
parties described above may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions, including
privately negotiated transactions, either:
|
|
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
|
|
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
at prices relating to such prevailing market prices; or |
|
|
|
at negotiated prices. |
Offerings of our equity securities under this prospectus may also be made into an existing trading
market for the securities in transactions at other than a fixed price, either:
|
|
on or through the facilities of any national securities exchange or quotation service on
which the securities may be listed, quoted or traded at the time of sale; or |
|
|
|
to or through a market maker otherwise than on the exchanges or quotation or trading
services. |
The at-the-market offerings, if any, will be conducted by underwriters, dealers or agents acting as
our principal or agent, who may also be third-party sellers of securities as described above.
Any public offering price and any discounts, commissions, concessions or other items constituting
compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms may
be changed from time to time. Underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms that participate
in the distribution of the offered securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities
Act. Any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profits they receive on the resale
of the offered securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the
Securities Act. We will identify any underwriters, agents or dealers and describe their
commissions, fees or discounts in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Sales through Underwriters or Dealers
Underwriters or the third parties described above may offer and sell the offered securities from
time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public
offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. If underwriters are used in the
sale of any securities, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account
and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions described above. The securities may
be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing
underwriters, or directly by underwriters. Generally, the underwriters obligations to purchase
the securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent. The underwriters will be obligated
to purchase all of the securities if they purchase any of the securities unless otherwise specified
in the applicable prospectus supplement in connection with any particular offering of securities.
During and after an offering through underwriters, the underwriters may purchase and sell the
securities in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, over-allotment and
stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. The underwriters
may also impose a penalty bid, which means that selling concessions allowed to syndicate members or
other broker-dealers for the offered securities sold for their account may be reclaimed by the
syndicate if the offered securities are repurchased by the syndicate in stabilizing or covering
transactions. These activities may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the
offered securities, which may be higher
20
than the price that might otherwise prevail in the open market. If commenced, the underwriters may
discontinue these activities at any time.
Some or all of the securities that we offer through this prospectus may be new issues of securities
with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom we sell the offered securities for
public offering and sale may make a market in those securities, but they will not be obligated to
do so and they may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. Accordingly, we cannot
assure you of the liquidity of, or continued trading markets for, any securities that we offer.
We may sell some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus through:
|
|
purchases by a dealer, as principal, who may then resell those securities to the public for
its account at varying prices determined by the dealer at the time of resale; |
|
|
|
block trades in which a dealer will attempt to sell as agent, but may position or resell a
portion of the block, as principal, in order to facilitate the transaction; or |
|
|
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a broker-dealer solicits
purchasers. |
Direct Sales and Sales through Agents
We may sell the securities directly. Direct sales to investors may be accomplished through
subscription offerings or through subscription rights distributed to our shareowners. In
connection with subscription offerings or the distribution of subscription rights to shareowners,
if all of the underlying offered securities are not subscribed for, we may sell such unsubscribed
offered securities to third parties directly and, in addition, whether or not all of the underlying
offered securities are subscribed for, we may concurrently offer additional offered securities to
third parties directly.
If indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, we may sell the securities through agents from
time to time, which agents may be affiliated with us. The applicable prospectus supplement will
name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities and any commissions we pay to them.
Generally, any agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment,
unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Remarketing Arrangements
Offered securities may also be offered and sold in connection with a remarketing upon their
purchase, in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by
one or more remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. Any
remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreements, if any, with us and its
compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Institutional Purchasers
We may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of
institutions to purchase securities from us at the public offering price under delayed delivery
contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the
future. The applicable prospectus supplement will provide any such arrangement, including the
offering price and commissions payable on the solicitations.
Indemnification; Other Relationships
Agents, underwriters and other third parties described above may be entitled to indemnification by
us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribution with respect to payments which the agents or underwriters may be required to make in

transactions with, or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Item 15. Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Chapter 37 of The Indiana Business Corporation Law (the IBCL) requires a corporation, unless
its articles of incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director or an officer of the
corporation who is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative and whether formal or informal, against reasonable expenses, including counsel fees,
incurred in connection with the proceeding.
The IBCL also permits a corporation to indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent who is
made a party to a proceeding because the person was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation or its subsidiary against liability incurred in the proceeding if (i) the individuals
conduct was in good faith and (ii) the individual reasonably believed (A) in the case of conduct in
the individuals official capacity with the corporation that the conduct was in the corporations
best interests and (B) in all other cases that the individuals conduct was at least not opposed to
the corporations best interests and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, the individual
either (A) had reasonable cause to believe the individuals conduct was lawful or (B) had no
reasonable cause to believe the individuals conduct was unlawful. The IBCL also permits a
corporation to pay for or reimburse reasonable expenses incurred before the final disposition of
the proceeding and permits a court of competent jurisdiction to order a corporation to indemnify a
director or officer if the court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the person met the
standards for indemnification otherwise provided in the IBCL.
Section 8.06 of ArvinMeritors Restated Articles of Incorporation contains provisions
authorizing, to the extent permitted under the IBCL and the ArvinMeritor By-Laws, indemnification
of directors and officers, including payment in advance of expenses in defending an action and
maintaining liability insurance on such directors and officers. Specifically, ArvinMeritors
By-Laws provide that ArvinMeritor will indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil or criminal, administrative or investigative, formal or informal, by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of ArvinMeritor, or is or was serving
at the request of ArvinMeritor as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, trustee or member

Item 17. Undertakings.
A. Each of the undersigned co-registrants hereby undertakes:
(1) |
|
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(i) |
|
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
registered) |
II - 3
|
|
|
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective
registration statement; and |
|
|
(iii) |
|
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement
or any material change to such information in the registration
statement; |
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus
filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof. |
|
(3) |
|
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering. |
|
(4) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to
any purchaser: |
|
(A) |
|
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule
424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as
of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the
registration statement; and |
|
|
(B) |
|
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule
424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in
reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule
415(a)(l)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the
information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of
the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after
effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities
in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B,
for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that
date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective
date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the
registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no
statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part
of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or
deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or
prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a
purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration
statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or
made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
(5) |
|
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the
Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities
in a primary offering of securities of the registrant pursuant to this
registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the
securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to |
II - 4
|
|
such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer
or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
(i) |
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the registrant
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the registrant or used or referred to by the
registrant; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
the offering containing material information about the registrant or
its securities provided by or on behalf of the registrant; and |
|
|
(iv) |
|
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the registrant to the purchaser. |
(6) |
|
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof. |
|
(7) |
|
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
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
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant 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 registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
|
(8) |
|
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h)
under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration
statement as of the time it was declared effective. |
|
(9) |
|
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act,
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
(10) |
|
To file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act
under subsection (a) of section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act in accordance with the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission under section 305(b)2 of the Trust
Indenture Act. |
