SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents we incorporate by reference in this prospectus contain forward-looking statements regarding our business,
financial condition and results of operations within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, or Securities Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements
to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and we are including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. All

USE OF PROCEEDS

In
particular, we may use proceeds to acquire Medicaid and Medicare businesses, specialty services businesses, and contract rights in order to increase our membership and to expand our business into new service areas.
We have not determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for the foregoing purposes. As a result, our management will have
broad discretion to allocate our net proceeds. Pending application of our net proceeds, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

5
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
Unless indicated differently in a prospectus supplement, this section describes the terms of our common stock and preferred stock. The
following description is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to applicable law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws. Copies of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws are incorporated by reference as exhibits
to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
General
We are authorized to issue 150,000,000 shares of common stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Shares of each class have a par value
of $0.001 per share. As of May 1, 2015, there were approximately 50,132,000 shares of our common stock and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock
Each share
of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors. Subject to any preference rights of holders of preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to
receive dividends, if any, declared from time to time by the directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining
after the payment of liabilities, subject to any rights of holders of preferred stock to prior distribution.
Our common stock has no
preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common stock. All outstanding shares of our common stock are fully paid and nonassessable and any shares of common
stock offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable supplement to this prospectus will, upon delivery, be fully paid and nonassessable.
Dividends
We have not
declared any cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
Preferred Stock
As of
the date of this prospectus, no shares of our preferred stock were outstanding. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any series of preferred stock offered through that prospectus supplement. The rights,
preferences, privileges, and restrictions of the preferred stock of each series will be fixed by the certificate of designations relating to that series and will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K at the time such series of
preferred stock is offered.
Pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is authorized,
subject to any limitations prescribed by the state of Delaware and without any further action by the stockholders, to provide for the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the
number of shares to be included in each such series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each such series and any qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, and to increase or decrease the shares of
any such series (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding).
A prospectus supplement with respect to the
issuance of a series of preferred stock will specify:
|
|
|
the maximum number of shares; |
|
|
|
the designation of the shares; |
6
|
|
|
the annual dividend rate, if any, of the shares, whether the dividend rate is fixed or variable, whether the series of preferred stock will be issued with original issue discount and, if so, the computed dividend rate
thereon, the date dividends will accrue, the dividend payment dates, and whether dividends will be cumulative; |
|
|
|
the price and the terms and conditions for redemption, if any, of the shares, including redemption at our option or at the option of the holders, including the time period for redemption, and the treatment of any
accumulated dividends or premiums; |
|
|
|
the liquidation preference, if any, of the shares, and the treatment of any accumulated dividends or premiums upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs; |
|
|
|
any sinking fund or similar provision of the shares, and, if so, the terms and provisions relating to the purpose and operation of the fund; |
|
|
|
the terms and conditions, if any, for conversion or exchange of shares of any other class or classes of our capital stock or any series of any other class or classes, or of any other series of the same class, or any
other securities or assets, including the price or the rate of conversion or exchange and the method, if any, of adjustment; |
|
|
|
if applicable, any material United States federal income tax consequences relating to such series of preferred stock; |
|
|
|
the voting rights, if any, of the shares; and |
|
|
|
any or all other preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, privileges or qualifications, limitations or restrictions relating to such series of preferred stock. |
It is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any shares of preferred stock on the rights of holders of common stock until
the board of directors determines the specific rights attached to that preferred stock. The effects of issuing preferred stock could include one or more of the following:
|
|
|
restricting dividends on the common stock; |
|
|
|
diluting the voting power of the common stock; |
|
|
|
impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or |
|
|
|
delaying or preventing a change of control of our Company. |
All shares of preferred stock
offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable supplement to this prospectus, upon delivery, will be fully paid and nonassessable.
Delaware Takeover Statute
We are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In general, Section 203 prohibits a public
Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A business combination includes mergers, asset sales or other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is
a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years, did own) 15.0% or more of the corporations outstanding voting stock. The statute could delay, defer or prevent a change of control of our Company.
Classified Board of Directors
Our board of directors is divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. As a result, approximately one-third of
the board of directors is elected each year. These provisions, when coupled with the provision of our certificate of incorporation authorizing the board of directors to fill vacant directorships
7
or increase the size of the board of directors, may deter a stockholder from removing incumbent directors and simultaneously gaining control of the board of directors by filling the vacancies
created by such removal with its own nominees.
Cumulative Voting
Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient percentage of a class of shares may be able to ensure the election of one
or more directors. Our certificate of incorporation expressly denies stockholders the right to cumulative voting in the election of directors.
Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations
Our bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election
as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice in writing. To be timely, a stockholders notice must be delivered to the Secretary of the Company at our principal executive offices not later than the close of
business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding years
annual meeting of our stockholders. However, in the event that the date of the annual meeting is scheduled more than 30 days prior to the anniversary of the preceding years annual meeting, notice by the stockholder, to be timely, must be so
delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Our
bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholders notice. These provisions may preclude, delay or discourage stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from making nominations for
directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.
Stockholder Action; Special Meeting of Stockholders
Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the ability of stockholders to act by written consent. It further provides that special meetings of
our stockholders may be called only by our Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, a majority of our directors or a committee of the board of directors specifically designated to call special meetings of stockholders. These
provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to remove current management or approve transactions that stockholders may deem to be in their best interests.
Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without stockholder approval.
These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including public or private offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of
common stock and preferred stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to effect a change in our control or change in our management by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Charter Amendments
Delaware law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a
corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws, unless either a corporations certificate of incorporation or bylaws requires a greater percentage.
Transfer Agent Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.
Listing
Our common stock
is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MOH.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
General
We may issue
debt securities from time to time in one or more series, including senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities. This section summarizes the material terms of our senior and subordinated debt securities that will be common to all series
of such debt securities. Most of the financial and other terms of any series of debt securities that we offer will be described in the prospectus supplement to be attached to the front of this prospectus. The senior and subordinated debt securities
will be issued under an indenture between us and a bank or trust company which will be identified in a prospectus supplement, as trustee. The indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities will be subject to and governed by the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or Trust Indenture Act.
Senior and Subordinated Debt Securities
This section is a summary of the material terms of the indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities and does not describe every
aspect of the debt securities that may be issued under these indentures. We urge you to read the indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of these debt
securities. Some of the definitions are repeated in this section, but for the rest you will need to read the indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities. We have filed the forms of the indentures for the senior and subordinated debt
securities as exhibits to a registration statement that we have filed with the SEC, of which this prospectus is a part. See Where You Can Find More Information and Incorporation of Certain Information By Reference for
information on how to obtain copies of the indentures.
We can issue an unlimited amount of debt securities under the indentures for the
senior and subordinated debt securities. However, certain of our existing or future debt agreements may limit the amount of senior and subordinated debt securities we may issue. We can issue senior and subordinated debt securities from time to time
and in one or more series as determined by us. In addition, we can issue senior and subordinated debt securities of any series with terms different from the terms of senior and subordinated debt securities of any other series and the terms of
particular senior and subordinated debt securities within any series may differ from each other, all without the consent of the holders of previously issued series of senior and subordinated debt securities. The senior and subordinated debt
securities will be unsecured obligations of our Company.
Because we may issue both senior debt securities and subordinated debt
securities, our references in this section to the debt securities are to each of the senior and subordinated debt securities and our references to the indenture are to each of the indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities, unless
the context requires otherwise. In this section, we refer to the senior and subordinated debt securities collectively as the debt securities and we refer to the indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities collectively as
the indentures.
The applicable prospectus supplement for a series of debt securities we issue will describe, among other
things, the following terms of the offered debt securities:
|
|
|
The title of the debt securities and whether the debt securities will be senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities. |
|
|
|
The aggregate principal amount of the debt securities, the percentage of their principal amount at which the debt securities will be issued and the date or dates when the principal of the debt securities will be payable
or how those dates will be determined. |
|
|
|
The interest rate or rates, which may be fixed or variable, that the debt securities will bear, if any, and how the rate or rates will be determined. |
9
|
|
|
The date or dates from which any interest will accrue or how the date or dates will be determined, the date or dates on which any interest will be payable, any regular record dates for these payments or how these dates
will be determined and the basis on which any interest will be calculated, if other than on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. |
|
|
|
The place or places of payment, transfer, conversion and exchange of the debt securities and where notices or demands to or upon us in respect of the debt securities may be served. |
|
|
|
Provisions relating to subsidiary guarantees, if any. |
|
|
|
Any optional redemption provisions. |
|
|
|
Any sinking fund or other provisions that would obligate us to repurchase or redeem the debt securities. |
|
|
|
Whether the amount of payments of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities will be determined with reference to an index, formula or other method, which could be based on one or more
commodities, equity indices or other indices, and how these amounts will be determined. |
|
|
|
Any changes or additions to the events of default under the applicable indenture or our covenants, including additions of any restrictive covenants, with respect to the debt securities. |
|
|
|
If not the principal amount of the debt securities, the portion of the principal amount that will be payable upon acceleration of the maturity of the debt securities or how that portion will be determined.
|
|
|
|
Any changes or additions to the provisions concerning defeasance and covenant defeasance contained in the indentures that will be applicable to the debt securities. |
|
|
|
Any provisions granting special rights to the holders of the debt securities upon the occurrence of specified events. |
|
|
|
If other than the trustee, the name of any paying agent, security registrar and transfer agent for the debt securities. |
|
|
|
If the debt securities are not to be issued in book-entry form only and held by DTC, as depositary, the form of such debt securities, including whether such debt securities are to be issuable in permanent or temporary
global form, as registered securities, bearer securities or both, any restrictions on the offer, sale or delivery of bearer securities and the terms, if any, upon which bearer securities of the series may be exchanged for registered securities of
the series and vice versa, if permitted by applicable law and regulations. |
|
|
|
If other than U.S. dollars, the currency or currencies of such debt securities. |
|
|
|
The person to whom any interest in a debt security will be payable, if other than the registered holder at the close of business on the regular record date. |
|
|
|
The denomination or denominations that the debt securities will be issued, if other than denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiples thereof in the case of registered securities and $5,000 or any integral
multiples thereof in the case of bearer securities. |
|
|
|
Whether such debt securities will be convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities and, if so, the terms and conditions upon which such debt securities will be so convertible or exchangeable.
|
|
|
|
A discussion of any material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the debt securities. |
|
|
|
Whether and under what circumstances we will pay additional amounts to holders of debt securities in respect of any tax assessment or government charge and, if so, whether we will have the option to redeem the debt
securities rather than pay such additional amounts. |
|
|
|
Any other terms of the debt securities that are consistent with the provisions of the indentures. |
10
For purposes of this prospectus, any reference to the payment of principal of, any premium on, or
any interest on, debt securities will include additional amounts if required by the terms of such debt securities.
The indentures do not
limit the amount of debt securities that we are authorized to issue from time to time. The indentures also provide that there may be more than one trustee thereunder, each for one or more series of debt securities. At a time when two or more
trustees are acting under the applicable indenture, each with respect to only certain series, the term debt securities means the series of debt securities for which each respective trustee is acting. If there is more than one trustee
under the applicable indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each trustee will apply only to the debt securities for which it is trustee. If two or more trustees are acting under the applicable indenture, then the debt securities for which
each trustee is acting would be treated as if issued under separate indentures.
We may issue debt securities with terms different from
those of debt securities that may already have been issued. Without the consent of the holders thereof, we may reopen a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series unless the reopening was
restricted when that series was created.
There is no requirement that we issue debt securities in the future under any indenture, and we
may use other indentures or documentation containing different provisions in connection with future issues of other debt securities.
We
may issue the debt securities as original issue discount securities, which are debt securities, including any zero-coupon debt securities, that are issued and sold at a discount from their stated principal amount. Original issue discount securities
provide that, upon acceleration of their maturity, an amount less than their principal amount will become due and payable. We will describe the United States federal income tax consequences and other considerations applicable to original issue
discount securities in any prospectus supplement relating to them.
Conversion and Exchange
If any debt securities are convertible into or exchangeable for other securities, the prospectus supplement will explain the terms and
conditions of such conversion or exchange, including:
|
|
|
the conversion price or exchange ratio, or the calculation method for such price or ratio; |
|
|
|
the conversion or exchange period, or how such period will be determined; |
|
|
|
if conversion or exchange will be mandatory or at our option or at the option of the holder; |
|
|
|
any requirements with respect to the reservation of shares of securities for purposes of conversion; |
|
|
|
provisions for adjustment of the conversion price or the exchange ratio; and |
|
|
|
provisions affecting conversion or exchange in the event of the redemption of the debt securities. |
Such terms may also include provisions under which the number or amount of other securities to be received by the holders of such debt
securities upon conversion or exchange would be calculated according to the market price of such other securities as of a time stated in the prospectus supplement.
Form, Exchange and Transfer
The debt securities will be issued:
|
|
|
as registered securities; or |
|
|
|
if so provided in the prospectus supplement, as bearer securities (unless otherwise stated in the prospectus supplement, with interest coupons attached); or |
11
|
|
|
in global form, see Legal Ownership of SecuritiesGlobal Securities; or |
|
|
|
in denominations that are even multiples of $1,000, in the case of registered securities, and in even multiples of $5,000, in the case of bearer securities, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus
supplement. |
You may have your registered securities divided into registered securities of smaller denominations or combined
into registered securities of larger denominations, as long as the aggregate principal amount is not changed. This is called an exchange.
You may exchange or transfer registered securities of a series at the office of the trustee described in the debt securities. The trustee
maintains the list of registered holders and acts as our securities registrar for registering debt securities in the names of holders and transferring debt securities. However, we may appoint another trustee to act as our securities registrar or we
may act as our own securities registrar. If we designate additional securities registrars, they will be named in the prospectus supplement. We may cancel the designation of any particular securities registrar. We may also approve a change in the
office through which any securities registrar acts. If provided in the prospectus supplement, you may exchange your bearer securities for registered securities of the same series so long as the total principal amount is not changed. Unless otherwise
specified in the prospectus supplement, bearer securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.
You will not be
required to pay a service charge to transfer or exchange debt securities, but you may in certain circumstances be required to pay for any tax or other governmental charge associated with the exchange or transfer. The transfer or exchange will only
be made if the transfer agent is satisfied with your proof of ownership and/or transfer documentation.
If the debt securities are
redeemable and we redeem less than all of the debt securities of a particular series, we may block the transfer or exchange of debt securities for 15 days before the day we mail the notice of redemption or publish such notice (in the case of bearer
securities) and ending on the day of that mailing or publication in order to freeze the list of holders to prepare the mailing. At our option, we may mail or publish such notice of redemption through an electronic medium. We may also refuse to
register transfers or exchanges of debt securities selected for redemption, except that we will continue to permit transfers and exchanges of the unredeemed portion of any debt security being partially redeemed.
Paying and Paying Agents
If you are a holder of registered securities, we will pay interest to you if you are a direct holder in the list of registered holders at the
close of business on a particular day in advance of each due date for interest, even if you no longer own the security on the interest due date. That particular time and day, usually about two weeks in advance of the interest due date, is called the
Regular Record Date and will be stated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Holders buying and selling debt securities must work out between them how to compensate for the fact that we will pay all the interest for an interest period
to the one who is the registered holder on the Regular Record Date. The most common manner is to adjust the sales price of the debt securities to prorate interest fairly between buyer and seller. This prorated interest amount is called accrued
interest.
With respect to registered securities, we will pay interest, principal and any other money due on the debt securities at
the place and time described in the debt securities. You must make arrangements to have your payments picked up at or wired from that place. We may also choose to pay interest by mailing checks or making wire transfers.
Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how they will receive payments.
12
If bearer securities are issued, unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, we will
maintain an office or agency outside the United States for the payment of all amounts due on the bearer securities. If debt securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United States, we will
maintain an office or agency for such debt securities in any city located outside the United States required by such stock exchange. The initial locations of such offices and agencies will be specified in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise
provided in the prospectus supplement, payment of interest on any bearer securities on or before maturity will be made only against surrender of coupons for such interest installments as they mature. Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus
supplement, no payment with respect to any bearer security will be made at any office or agency of our company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in
the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of principal, premium and interest, if any, on bearer securities payable in U.S. dollars may be made at the office of our paying agent described in a prospectus supplement, but only if
payment of the full amount in U.S. dollars at all offices or agencies outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.
Regardless of who acts as the paying agent, all money paid by us to a paying agent that remains unclaimed at the end of two years after the
amount is due to registered holders will be repaid to us. After that two-year period, you may look only to us for payment and not to the trustee, any other paying agent or anyone else.
We may also arrange for additional payment offices, and may cancel or change these offices, including our use of the trustees corporate
trust office. We may also choose to act as our own paying agent. We must notify you of changes in identities of the paying agents for any particular series of debt securities.
Notices
With respect to
registered securities, the company and the trustee will send notices regarding the debt securities only to registered holders, using their addresses as listed in the list of registered holders. With respect to bearer securities, the company and the
trustee will give notice by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or in such other cities that may be specified in a prospectus supplement. At our option, we may send or publish notices through an electronic
medium as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Events of Default
You will have special rights if an event of default occurs in respect of the debt securities of your series and is not cured, as described
later in this subsection.
The term event of default in respect of the debt securities of your series means any of the
following:
|
|
|
We do not pay the principal of or any premium on a debt security of such series on its due date. |
|
|
|
We do not pay interest on a debt security of such series within 30 days of its due date whether at maturity, upon redemption or upon acceleration. |
|
|
|
We do not deposit any sinking fund payment in respect of debt securities of such series on its due date. |
|
|
|
We remain in breach of a covenant in respect of debt securities of such series for 60 days after we receive a written notice of default stating we are in breach and requiring that we remedy the breach. The notice must
be sent by either the trustee or holders of at least 25% of the principal amount of debt securities of such series. |
|
|
|
We file for bankruptcy or certain other events in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization occur. |
|
|
|
Any other event of default in respect of debt securities of such series described in the prospectus supplement occurs. |
13
The events of default described above may be added to or modified as described in the applicable
prospectus supplement. An event of default for a particular series of debt securities does not necessarily constitute an event of default for any other series of debt securities issued under an indenture. The trustee may withhold notice to the
holders of debt securities of any default (except in the payment of principal or interest) if it considers such withholding of notice to be in the best interests of the holders.
Remedies if an Event of Default Occurs. If an event of default has occurred and has not been cured with respect to one or more series
of debt securities, the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may declare the entire principal amount of all the debt securities of that series to be due and immediately
payable. Only a portion of the principal is payable if the securities were issued at a discount. This is called a declaration of acceleration of maturity. If an event of default occurs because of certain events in bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization, the principal amount of all the debt securities of that series will be automatically accelerated, without any action by the trustee or any holder. There are special notice and timing rules which apply to the acceleration of
subordinated debt securities which are designed to protect the interests of holders of senior debt. A declaration of acceleration of maturity may be cancelled by the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the
affected series if (1) we have paid or deposited with the trustee a sum sufficient in cash to pay all principal, interest and additional amounts, if any, which have become due other than by the declaration of acceleration of maturity,
(2) all existing events of default, other than the nonpayment of principal of or premium or interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series which have become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and
(3) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
Except in cases of default,
where the trustee has some special duties, the trustee is not required to take any action under the indentures at the request of the holders unless the holders offer the trustee reasonable protection from expenses and liability, called an
indemnity. If reasonable indemnity is provided, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the relevant series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any lawsuit or other formal legal
action seeking any remedy available to the trustee. The trustee may refuse to follow those directions in certain circumstances. No delay or omission in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon any event of default will be treated as a waiver of
such right, remedy or event of default.
Before you are allowed to bypass the trustee and bring your own lawsuit or other formal legal
action or take other steps to enforce your rights or protect your interests relating to the debt securities, the following must occur:
|
|
|
You must give the trustee written notice that an event of default has occurred and remains uncured. |
|
|
|
The holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of all outstanding debt securities of the relevant series must make a written request that the trustee take action because of the default and must offer reasonable
indemnity to the trustee against the cost and other liabilities of taking that action. |
|
|
|
The trustee must not have taken action for 60 days after receipt of the above notice and offer of indemnity. |
|
|
|
The holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities must not have given the trustee a direction inconsistent with the above notice during the 60-day period. |
However, notwithstanding the conditions described above, you are entitled at any time to bring a lawsuit for the payment of money due on your
debt securities on or after the due date.
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the affected series may
waive any past defaults other than (1) the payment of principal, any premium or interest or (2) in respect of a covenant or other provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder.
Street name and other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how to give notice or direction or
to make a request of the trustee and to make or cancel a declaration of acceleration.
14
Each year, we will furnish to the trustee a written statement of certain of our officers
certifying that to their knowledge we are in compliance with the indentures and the debt securities, or else specifying any default.
Merger or Consolidation
Under the terms of the indentures, we are generally permitted to consolidate or merge with another entity. We are also permitted to sell all or
substantially all of our assets to another entity. However, we may not take any of these actions unless all the following conditions are met:
|
|
|
either we will be the surviving corporation or, if we merge out of existence or sell assets, the entity into which we merge or to which we sell assets must agree to be legally responsible for the debt securities;
|
|
|
|
immediately after the merger or transfer of assets, no default on the debt securities shall have occurred and be continuing. A default for this purpose includes any event that would be an event of default if the
requirements for giving a default notice or of having the default exist for a specific period of time were disregarded; |
|
|
|
we must deliver certain certificates and documents to the trustee; and |
|
|
|
we must satisfy any other requirements specified in the prospectus supplement. |
Modification or Waiver
There are three types of changes we can make to the indentures and the debt securities.
Changes Requiring Approval of Each Holder. First, there are changes that cannot be made to your debt securities without the approval of
each holder. Following is a list of those types of changes:
|
|
|
changing the stated maturity of the principal of or interest on a debt security; |
|
|
|
reducing any amounts due on a debt security or payable upon acceleration of the maturity of a security following a default; |
|
|
|
adversely affecting any right of repayment at the holders option; |
|
|
|
changing the place (except as otherwise described in this prospectus) or currency of payment on a debt security; |
|
|
|
impairing your right to sue for payment or to convert or exchange a security; |
|
|
|
in the case of subordinated debt securities, modifying the subordination provisions in a manner that is adverse to holders of the subordinated debt securities; |
|
|
|
in the case of senior debt securities, modifying the securities to subordinate the securities to other indebtedness; |
|
|
|
reducing the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to modify or amend the indentures; |
|
|
|
reducing the percentage of holders of debt securities whose consent is needed to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indentures or to waive certain defaults; |
|
|
|
reducing the requirements for quorum or voting with respect to the debt securities; |
|
|
|
modifying any other aspect of the provisions of the indentures dealing with modification and waiver except to increase the voting requirements; |
|
|
|
change in any of our obligations to pay additional amounts which are required to be paid to holders with respect to taxes imposed on such holders in certain circumstances; and |
|
|
|
other provisions, if any, specified in the prospectus supplement. |
15
Changes Requiring a Majority Vote. The second type of change to the indentures and the
outstanding debt securities is the kind that requires a vote in favor by holders of outstanding debt securities owning a majority of the principal amount of the particular series affected. Separate votes will be needed for each series even if they
are affected in the same way. Most changes fall into this category, except for clarifying changes and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the outstanding debt securities in any material respect. The same vote would be
required for us to obtain a waiver of all or part of certain covenants in the applicable indenture, or a waiver of a past default. However, we cannot obtain a waiver of a payment default or any other aspect of the indentures or the outstanding debt
securities listed in the first category described previously under Modification or WaiverChanges Requiring Approval of Each Holder unless we obtain your individual consent to the waiver.
Changes Not Requiring Approval. The third type of change does not require any vote by holders of outstanding debt securities. This type
is limited to clarifications, curing ambiguities, defects or inconsistencies and certain other changes that would not adversely affect holders of the outstanding debt securities in any material respect. Qualifying or maintaining the qualification of
the indentures under the Trust Indenture Act does not require any vote by holders of debt securities.
Further Details Concerning
Voting. When taking a vote, we will use the following rules to decide how much principal amount to attribute to a debt security:
|
|
|
for original issue discount securities, we will use the principal amount that would be due and payable on the voting date if the maturity of the debt securities were accelerated to that date because of a default; and
|
|
|
|
for debt securities whose principal amount is not known (for example, because it is based on an index), we will use a special rule for that debt security described in the prospectus supplement. |
Debt securities will not be considered outstanding, and therefore not eligible to vote, if we have deposited or set aside in trust for you
money for their payment or redemption. Debt securities will also not be eligible to vote if they have been fully defeased as described later under DefeasanceFull Defeasance.
We will generally be entitled to set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of outstanding indenture securities
that are entitled to vote or take other action under the indentures.
We are not required to set a record date. If we set a record date
for a vote or other action to be taken by holders of a particular series, that vote or action may be taken only by persons who are holders of outstanding securities of that series on the record date and must be taken within 180 days following the
record date or another period that we may specify. We may shorten or lengthen this period from time to time.
Street name and
other indirect holders should consult their banks or brokers for information on how approval may be granted or denied if we seek to change the indentures or the debt securities or request a waiver.
Satisfaction and Discharge
The indentures will cease to be of further effect, and we will be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the indentures with respect to a
particular series of debt securities, when
|
|
|
all debt securities of that series have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or |
|
|
|
all debt securities of that series not previously delivered to the trustee for cancellation have become due and payable or will become due and payable
at their stated maturity or on a redemption date within one year; we deposit with the trustee, in trust, funds sufficient to pay the |
16
|
entire indebtedness on the debt securities of that series that had not been previously delivered for cancellation, including the principal and interest to the date of the deposit (for debt
securities that have become due and payable) or to the stated maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be (for debt securities that have not become due and payable); and |
|
(2) |
the following conditions have been satisfied: |
|
|
|
we have paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable under the indenture in respect of that series; and |
|
|
|
we have delivered to the trustee an officers certificate and opinion of counsel, each stating that all these conditions have been complied with. |
Defeasance
The following
discussion of full defeasance and covenant defeasance will be applicable to your series of debt securities only if we choose to have them apply to that series. If we choose to do so, we will state that in the applicable prospectus supplement and
describe any changes to these provisions.
Full Defeasance. If there is a change in federal tax law, as described below, we can
legally release ourselves from any payment or other obligations on the debt securities, called full defeasance, if we put in place the following other arrangements for you to be repaid:
|
|
|
We must deposit in trust for your benefit and the benefit of all other registered holders of the debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate
enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates including, possibly, their earliest redemption date. |
|
|
|
Under current federal tax law, the deposit and our legal release from the debt securities would likely be treated as though you surrendered your debt securities in exchange for your share of the cash and notes or bonds
deposited in trust. In that event, you could recognize income, gain or loss on the debt securities you surrendered. In order for us to effect a full defeasance we must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion confirming that you will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the defeasance and that you will not be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves.
|
|
|
|
We must comply with any additional provisions set forth in the prospectus supplement. |
If we
accomplish a full defeasance as described above, you would have to rely solely on the trust deposit for repayment on the debt securities. You could not look to us for repayment in the unlikely event of any shortfall. Conversely, the trust deposit
would most likely be protected from claims of our lenders and other creditors if we ever become bankrupt or insolvent. You would also be released from any applicable subordination provisions on the subordinated debt securities described below under
Subordination.
Covenant Defeasance. Under current federal tax law, we can make the same type of deposit
described above and be released from the restrictive covenants in the debt securities, if any. This is called covenant defeasance. In that event, you would lose the protection of those restrictive covenants but would gain the protection
of having money and securities set aside in trust to repay the debt securities, and you would be released from any applicable subordination provisions on the subordinated debt securities described below under Subordination. In
order to achieve covenant defeasance, we must do the following:
|
|
|
We must deposit in trust for your benefit and the benefit of all other registered holders of the debt securities a combination of money and U.S. government or U.S. government agency notes or bonds that will generate
enough cash to make interest, principal and any other payments on the debt securities on their various due dates. |
17
|
|
|
We must deliver to the trustee a legal opinion confirming that under current federal income tax law we may make the above deposit without causing you to be taxed on the debt securities any differently than if we did not
make the deposit and just repaid the debt securities ourselves. |
|
|
|
We must comply with any additional provisions set forth in the prospectus supplement. |
If we
accomplish covenant defeasance, the following provisions of the indentures and the debt securities would no longer apply unless otherwise specified:
|
|
|
our promises regarding conduct of our business and other matters and any other covenants applicable to the series of debt securities that will be described in the prospectus supplement; and |
|
|
|
the definition of an event of default as a breach of such covenants that may be specified in the prospectus supplement. |
If we accomplish covenant defeasance, you could still look to us for repayment of the debt securities if there were a shortfall in the trust
deposit. In fact, if one of the remaining events of default occurs (such as our bankruptcy) and the debt securities become immediately due and payable, there may be such a shortfall. Depending on the event causing the default, of course, you may not
be able to obtain payment of the shortfall.
In order to exercise either full defeasance or covenant defeasance, we must comply with
certain conditions, and no event or condition can exist that would prevent us from making payments of principal, premium, and interest, if any, on the debt securities of such series on the date the irrevocable deposit is made or at any time during
the period ending on the 91st day after the deposit date.
Ranking
Unless provided otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not be secured by any of our property or assets.
Accordingly, your ownership of debt securities means you are one of our unsecured creditors. The senior debt securities will not be subordinated to any of our other debt obligations and, therefore, they will rank equally with all our other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness. The subordinated debt securities will rank junior to our Senior Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the subordinated indenture) and equally with all our other unsecured and subordinated debt. See
Subordination below.
Subordination
Unless the prospectus supplement provides otherwise, the following provisions will apply to the subordinated debt securities:
The payment of principal, any premium and interest on the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all of our Senior Indebtedness. This means that in certain circumstances where we may not be making payments on all of our debt obligations as they become due, the holders of all of our Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to
receive payment in full of all amounts that are due or will become due on the Senior Indebtedness before you and the other holders of subordinated debt securities will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution (other than in the form of
subordinated securities) on the subordinated debt securities. These circumstances may include the following:
|
|
|
We make a payment or distribute assets to creditors upon any liquidation, dissolution, winding up or reorganization of our Company, or as part of an assignment or marshalling of our assets for the benefit of our
creditors. |
|
|
|
We file for bankruptcy or certain other events in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings occur. |
|
|
|
The maturity of the subordinated debt securities is accelerated. For example, the entire principal amount of a series of subordinated debt securities may be declared to be due and payable and immediately payable or may
be automatically accelerated due to an event of default as described above under Events of Default. |
18
In addition, in general, we will not be permitted to make payments of principal, any premium or
interest on the subordinated debt securities if we default in our obligation to make payments on our Senior Indebtedness and do not cure such default. We are also prohibited from making payments on subordinated debt securities if an event of default
(other than a payment default) that permits the holders of Senior Indebtedness to accelerate the maturity of the Senior Indebtedness occurs and the Company and the trustee have received a notice of such event of default. However, unless the Senior
Indebtedness has been accelerated because of that event of default, this payment blockage notice cannot last more than 179 days.
These
subordination provisions mean that if we are insolvent, a holder of Senior Indebtedness is likely to ultimately receive out of our assets more than a holder of the same amount of our subordinated debt securities, and a creditor of our Company that
is owed a specific amount but who owns neither our Senior Indebtedness nor our subordinated debt securities may ultimately receive less than a holder of the same amount of Senior Indebtedness and more than a holder of subordinated debt securities.
The subordinated indenture does not limit the amount of Senior Indebtedness we are permitted to have.
If this prospectus is being delivered in connection with a series of subordinated securities, the accompanying prospectus supplement or the
information incorporated by reference will set forth the approximate amount of Senior Indebtedness outstanding as of a recent date.
Guarantees
A series of
debt securities may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries, if those guarantees are provided for in the supplemental indenture relating to that series of debt securities. If guarantees are issued in connection with any debt securities, the
terms of those guarantees and the names of our subsidiaries which are providing the guarantees will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The Trustee
The initial
trustee under each indenture will be identified in a prospectus supplement. Unless the prospectus supplement provides otherwise, the trustee will also be the initial paying agent and registrar for the debt securities.
The indentures provide that, except during the continuance of an event of default under the indentures, the trustee under the indentures will
perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indentures. Under the indentures, the holders of a majority in outstanding principal amount of the debt securities will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding or exercising any remedy available to the trustee under the indentures, subject to certain exceptions. Under the Trust Indenture Act, if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee under the indentures is required
to exercise such rights and powers vested in it under the indentures 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 such persons own affairs.
The indentures and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act incorporated by reference in the indentures contain limitations on the rights of the
trustee under such indentures, should it become a creditor of our Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee under the
indentures is permitted to engage in other transactions. However, if the trustee under the indentures acquires any prohibited conflicting interest, it must eliminate the conflict or resign.
The trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of debt securities and a successor trustee may be appointed to act
with respect to such series. In the event that two or more persons are acting as trustee with respect to different series of debt securities under the indentures, each such trustee shall be a trustee
19
of a trust separate and apart from the trust administered by any other such trustee and any action described herein to be taken by the trustee may then be taken by each such trustee
with respect to, and only with respect to, the one or more series of debt securities for which it is trustee.
In the event that an entity
is the trustee under both the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture, and a conflict of interest arises as a result, the trustee must resign as trustee under (1) either of the indentures or, if this does not eliminate the conflict of
interest, (2) both the indentures.
Legal Ownership of Securities
Holders of Securities
Book-Entry Holders. We will issue debt securities in book-entry form only, unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus
supplement. If securities are issued in book-entry form, this means the securities will be represented by one or more global securities registered in the name of a financial institution that holds them as depositary on behalf of other financial
institutions that participate in the depositarys book-entry system. These participating institutions, in turn, hold beneficial interests in the securities on behalf of themselves or their customers.
We will only recognize the person in whose name a security is registered as the holder of that security. Consequently, for securities issued
in global form, we will recognize only the depositary as the holder of the securities and all payments on the securities will be made to the depositary. The depositary passes along the payments it receives to its participants, which in turn pass the
payments along to their customers who are the beneficial owners. The depositary and its participants do so under agreements they have made with one another or with their customers; they are not obligated to do so under the terms of the securities.
As a result, investors in securities issued in book-entry form will not own securities directly. Instead, they will own beneficial
interests in a global security, through a bank, broker or other financial institution that participates in the depositarys book-entry system or holds an interest through a participant. As long as the securities are issued in global form,
investors will be indirect holders, not holders, of the securities.
Street Name Holders. In the future, we may terminate a global
security or issue securities initially in non-global form. In these cases, investors may choose to hold their securities in their own names or in street name. Securities held by an investor in street name would be registered in the name
of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution.
For securities held in street name, we will recognize only the intermediary banks, brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the
securities are registered as the holders of those securities and all payments on those securities will be made to them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they
agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold securities in street name will be indirect holders, not holders, of those securities.
Legal Holders. We, and any third parties employed by us or acting on your behalf, such as trustees, depositories and transfer agents,
are obligated only to the legal holders of the securities. We do not have obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses
to be an indirect holder of a security or has no choice because we are issuing the securities only in global form.
For example, once we
make a payment or give a notice to the legal holder, we have no further responsibility for the payment or notice even if that legal holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or
20
customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect holders but does not do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain the approval of the holders for any purpose (for example, to amend an indenture
or to relieve ourselves of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of the indenture), we would seek the approval only from the legal holders, and not the indirect holders, of the securities. Whether
and how the legal holders contact the indirect holders is up to the legal holders.
When we refer to you, we mean those who invest in the
securities being offered by this prospectus, whether they are the legal holders or only indirect holders of those securities. When we refer to your securities, we mean the securities in which you hold a direct or indirect interest.
Special Considerations for Indirect Holders. If you hold securities through a bank, broker or other financial institution, either in
book-entry form or in street name, you should check with your own institution to find out:
|
|
|
how it handles securities payments and notices; |
|
|
|
whether it imposes fees or charges; |
|
|
|
how it would handle a request for the holders consent, if ever required; |
|
|
|
whether and how you can instruct it to send you securities registered in your own name so you can be a legal holder, if that is permitted in the future; |
|
|
|
how it would exercise rights under the securities if there were a default or other event triggering the need for holders to act to protect their interests; and |
|
|
|
if the securities are in book-entry form, how the depositarys rules and procedures will affect these matters. |
Global Securities
A
global security represents one or any other number of individual securities. Generally, all securities represented by the same global securities will have the same terms. We may, however, issue a global security that represents multiple securities
that have different terms and are issued at different times. We call this kind of global security a master global security.
Each security
issued in book-entry form will be represented by a global security that we deposit with and register in the name of a financial institution that we select or its nominee. The financial institution that is selected for this purpose is called the
depositary. Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, known as the DTC, will be the depositary for all securities issued in book-entry form.
A global security may not be transferred to or registered in the name of anyone other than the depositary or its nominee, unless special
termination situations arise or as otherwise described in the prospectus supplement. We describe those situations below under Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated. As a result of these arrangements, the
depositary, or its nominee, will be the sole registered owner and holder of all securities represented by a global security, and investors will be permitted to own only beneficial interests in a global security. Beneficial interests must be held by
means of an account with a broker, bank or other financial institution that in turn has an account with the depositary or with another institution that does. Thus, an investor whose security is represented by a global security will not be a holder
of the security, but only an indirect holder of a beneficial interest in the global security.
Special Considerations for Global
Securities. As an indirect holder, an investors rights relating to a global security will be governed by the account rules of the investors financial institution and of the depositary, as well as general laws relating to securities
transfers. We do not recognize this type of investor as a holder of securities and instead will deal only with the depositary that holds the global security.
21
If securities are issued only in the form of a global security, an investor should be aware of
the following:
|
|
|
An investor cannot cause the securities to be registered in his or her name and cannot obtain physical certificates for his or her interest in the securities, except in the special situations we describe below.
|
|
|
|
An investor will be an indirect holder and must look to his or her own bank or broker for payments on the securities and protection of his or her legal rights relating to the securities, as we describe under
Legal Ownership of SecuritiesHolders of Securities above. |
|
|
|
An investor may not be able to sell interests in the securities to some insurance companies and to other institutions that are required by law to own their securities in non-book-entry form. |
|
|
|
An investor may not be able to pledge his or her interest in a global security in circumstances where certificates representing the securities must be delivered to the lender or other beneficiary of the pledge in order
for the pledge to be effective. |
|
|
|
The depositarys policies, which may change from time to time, will govern payments, transfers, exchanges and other matters relating to an investors interest in a global security. Neither we nor any third
parties employed by us or acting on your behalf, such as trustees and transfer agents, have any responsibility for any aspect of the depositarys actions or for its records of ownership interests in a global security. The Company and the
trustee do not supervise the depositary in any way. |
|
|
|
The DTC requires that those who purchase and sell interests in a global security within its book-entry system use immediately available funds, and your broker or bank may require you to do so as well. |
|
|
|
Financial institutions that participate in the depositarys book-entry system, and through which an investor holds its interest in a global security, may also have their own policies affecting payments, notices and
other matters relating to the security. There may be more than one financial intermediary in the chain of ownership for an investor. We do not monitor, and are not responsible for, the actions of any of those intermediaries. |
Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated. In a few special situations described below, a global security will be
terminated and interests in it will be exchanged for certificates in non-global form representing the securities it represented. After that exchange, the choice of whether to hold the securities directly or in street name will be up to the investor.
Investors must consult their own banks or brokers to find out how to have their interests in a global security transferred on termination to their own names, so that they will be holders. We have described the rights of holders and street name
investors above under Legal Ownership of SecuritiesHolders of Securities.
The special situations for termination
of a global security are as follows:
|
|
|
if the depositary notifies us that it is unwilling, unable or no longer qualified to continue as depositary for that global security and we do not appoint another institution to act as depositary within a specified time
period; |
|
|
|
if we elect to terminate that global security; or |
|
|
|
if an event of default has occurred with regard to securities represented by that global security and it has not been cured or waived. |
The prospectus supplement may also list additional situations for terminating a global security that would apply to a particular series of
securities covered by the prospectus supplement. If a global security is terminated, only the depositary is responsible for deciding the names of the institutions in whose names the securities represented by the global security will be registered
and, therefore, who will be the holders of those securities.
Governing Law
The indentures for the senior and subordinated debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.
22
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants, including warrants to purchase common stock, preferred stock, debt securities or any combination of the foregoing.
Warrants may be issued independently or together with any securities and may be attached to or separate from the securities. The warrants will be issued under warrant agreements to be entered into between us and a warrant agent as detailed in the
prospectus supplement relating to warrants being offered. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not have any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners
of warrants. A copy of the warrant agreement will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K in connection with any offering of warrants.
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, where applicable, of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus
is being delivered:
|
|
|
the title of the warrants; |
|
|

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES PURCHASE CONTRACTS
This section describes the general terms of the securities purchase contracts that we may offer and sell by this prospectus. This prospectus
and any accompanying prospectus supplement will contain the material terms and conditions for each securities purchase contract. The accompanying prospectus supplement may add, update or change the terms and conditions of the securities purchase
contracts described in this prospectus.
Stock Purchase Contracts
We may issue stock purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to the holders,
a specified number of shares of common stock or preferred stock at a future date or dates, or a variable number of shares of common stock or preferred stock for a stated amount of
23
consideration. The price per share and the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock may be fixed at the time the stock purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference
to a specific formula set forth in the stock purchase contracts. Any such formula may include anti-dilution provisions to adjust the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock issuable pursuant to the stock purchase contracts upon certain
events. The stock purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations in a specified manner and in certain circumstances we may deliver newly issued prepaid stock purchase contracts upon release to a holder of any collateral securing
such holders obligations under the original stock purchase contract.
The stock purchase contracts may be issued separately or as a
part of units consisting of a stock purchase contract and, as security for the holders obligations to purchase the shares under the stock purchase contracts, either (a) our senior debt securities or subordinated debt securities or
(b) debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities. The stock purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the stock purchase units or vice versa, and such payments may be unsecured or
prefunded on some basis.
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the general terms of any stock purchase contracts or stock
purchase units, as well as any material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the stock purchase contracts and the stock purchase units. We will file with the SEC as exhibits to a report on Form 8-K forms of any stock
purchase contracts to be issued either separately or as a part of stock purchase units.
Debt Purchase Contracts
We may issue debt purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from us, and obligating us to sell to the holders,
a specified principal amount of debt securities at a future date or dates. The purchase price and the interest rate may be fixed at the time the debt purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in
the debt purchase contracts. The debt purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations in a specified manner and in certain circumstances we may deliver newly issued prepaid debt purchase contracts upon release to a holder of any
collateral securing such holders obligations under the original debt purchase contract.
The debt purchase contracts may be issued
separately or as a part of units consisting of debt purchase contracts and, as security for the holders obligations to purchase the securities under the debt purchase contracts, either (a) our senior debt securities or subordinated debt
securities or (b) debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities. The debt purchase contracts may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the debt purchase units or vice versa, and such payments may be
unsecured or prefunded on some basis.
The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the general terms of: (a) any debt purchase
contracts or debt purchase units; (b) the collateral arrangements and depositary arrangements, if applicable, relating to such debt purchase contracts or debt purchase units; and (c) if applicable, the prepaid debt purchase contracts and
the document pursuant to which such prepaid debt purchase contracts will be issued. In addition, such prospectus supplement will describe any material United States federal income tax considerations applicable to the debt purchase contracts and the
debt purchase units. We will file with the SEC as exhibits to a report on Form 8-K forms of any debt purchase contracts that may be issued separately or as a part of debt purchase units.
24
DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES
We may elect to offer depositary shares represented by depositary receipts. If we so elect, each depositary share will represent a fractional
interest in a share of preferred stock with the amount of the fractional interest to be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. If we issue depositary shares representing interests in shares of preferred stock, those shares of preferred
stock will be deposited with a depositary.
The shares of any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares will be deposited
under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the
name and address of the depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will have a fractional interest in all the rights and preferences of the preferred stock underlying the depositary share. Those
rights include any dividend, voting, redemption, conversion and liquidation rights.
The depositary shares will be evidenced by depositary
receipts issued under the deposit agreement. If you purchase fractional interests in shares of the related series of preferred stock, you will receive depositary receipts as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. While the final
depositary receipts are being prepared, we may order the depositary to issue temporary depositary receipts substantially identical to the final depositary receipts although not in final form. The holders of the temporary depositary receipts will be
entitled to the same rights as if they held the depositary receipts in final form. Holders of the temporary depositary receipts can exchange them for the final depositary receipts at our expense.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
We may issue units from time to time in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we determine.
We will issue each series of units under a unit agreement to be entered into between us and a unit agent to be designated in the applicable
prospectus supplement. When we refer to a series of units, we mean all units issued as part of the same series under the applicable unit agreement.
We will describe the specific terms of a series of units and the applicable unit agreement in the applicable prospectus supplement. The
following description and any description of the units in the applicable prospectus supplement may not be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and provisions of the applicable unit agreement. A form of
the unit agreement reflecting the particular terms and provisions of a series of offered units will be filed with the SEC as an exhibit to a report on Form 8-K in connection with the offering of any units.
We may issue units consisting of any combination of two or more securities described in this prospectus or securities of third parties, in any
combination. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement
under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
If units are offered, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of the units, including the following:
|
|
|
the designation and aggregate number of, and the price at which we will issue, the units; |
|
|
|
the terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances the securities comprising the units may or may not be held or transferred separately; |
|
|
|
the name of the unit agent; |
|
|
|
a description of the terms of any unit agreement to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company, as unit agent, governing the units; |
|
|
|
if applicable, a discussion of any material federal income tax considerations; |
25
|
|
|
whether the units will be listed on any securities exchange; and |
|
|
|
a description of the provisions for the payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the units. |
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
In addition to covering the offering of securities by us, this prospectus covers the offering of our common stock by selling stockholders. The
applicable prospectus supplement will set forth, with respect to each selling stockholder:
|
|
|
the name of the selling stockholder; |
|
|
|
the nature of any position, office or other material relationship which the selling stockholder has had during the prior three years with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates; |
|
|
|
the number of shares of common stock owned by the selling stockholder prior to the offering; |
|
|
|
the number of shares of common stock to be offered for the selling stockholders account; and |
|
|
|
the number of shares of common stock and (if one percent or more) the percentage of the outstanding common stock to be owned by the selling stockholder after completion of the offering. |
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We or any selling stockholder may sell the securities described in this prospectus from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
|
|
to purchasers directly; |
|
|
|
to underwriters for public offering and sale by them; |
|
|
|
through a combination of any of the foregoing methods of sale. |
We or any selling stockholder
may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at:
|
|
|
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
|
|
market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
|
|
prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
Direct Sales
We or any selling stockholder may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others. A prospectus supplement will describe the
terms of any sale of securities we or the selling stockholders are offering hereunder.
To Underwriters
The applicable prospectus supplement will name any underwriter involved in a sale of securities. Underwriters may offer and sell securities at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or from time to time at market prices or at negotiated prices. Underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from us or the selling stockholders from sales of securities in the form of
underwriting discounts or commissions and may also receive commissions from purchasers of securities for whom they may act as agent.
26
Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation
in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions (which may be changed from time to time) from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent.
Unless otherwise provided in a prospectus supplement, the obligations of any underwriters to purchase securities or any series of securities
will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all such securities if any are purchased.
Through Agents and Dealers
We will name any agent involved in a sale of securities, as well as any commissions payable by us or the selling stockholders to such agent, in
a prospectus supplement. Unless we indicate differently in the prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a reasonable efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
If we or the selling stockholders utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus, we or the selling
stockholders will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
Delayed Delivery Contracts
If we so specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, we or the selling stockholders will authorize underwriters, dealers and agents to
solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase securities pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on future dates. Such contracts will be subject to only those conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of the contracts. We will set forth in the
prospectus supplement relating to the contracts the price to be paid for the securities, the commissions payable for solicitation of the contracts and the date in the future for delivery of the securities.
General Information
Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in a sale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act,
and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We or the selling stockholders may have agreements
with underwriters, dealers and agents to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to reimburse them for certain expenses.
Certain of any such underwriters and agents, including their associates, may be customers of, engage in transactions with and perform services
for us and our affiliates or the selling stockholders in the ordinary course of business. One or more of our affiliates may from time to time act as an agent or underwriter in connection with the sale of the securities to the extent permitted by
applicable law. The participation of any such affiliate in the offer and sale of the securities will comply with Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority regarding the offer and sale of securities of an affiliate.
We may pay expenses incurred with respect to the registration of common stock owned by any selling stockholders.
Unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, we will not list the securities on any securities exchange, other than shares of
our common stock. The securities, except for our common stock, will be a new issue of securities with no established trading market. Unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, any underwriters that purchase securities for public
offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We make no assurance as to the liquidity of or the trading markets for any
securities.
27

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, permits Delaware
corporations to eliminate or limit the monetary liability of directors, officers, employees and agents for breach of fiduciary duty of care, subject to certain limitations. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our directors and officers
shall not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages arising from a breach of fiduciary duty owed by such director or officer, as applicable, except for liability (1) for any breach of a directors or officers duty of
loyalty to us or our stockholders, (2) for intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, under Section 174 of the DGCL or (3) for a transaction from which the officer or director derived an improper personal benefit.
Our bylaws provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent permitted by the Delaware law. Our directors and officers are insured against certain liabilities for actions taken in such capacities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act).
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities
arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

a. |
The undersigned registrant 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 of 1933; |

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 |
II-2
|
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) 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than
20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective registration statement. |
|
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) of this section 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 of 1933, 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 of
1933 to any purchaser:
|
i. |
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B: |
|
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)(1)(i), (vii), or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 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; or |
|
ii. |
If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering,
other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and |
II-3
|
included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. 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 first use, 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 date of first use. |
|
5. |
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary
offering of securities of the undersigned 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 such purchaser by means of any
of the following communications, the undersigned 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 undersigned 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 undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
|
iii. |
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
|
|
iv. |
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
b. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 the 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.
c. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be delivered with the
prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting the requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the
prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
d. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
II-4
e. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
|
1. |
For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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. |
|
2. |
For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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. |
f. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 (Act) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under section 305(b)2 of the Act.

Re: |

Registration Statement on Form S-3 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the Registration Statement) scheduled to be
filed today by Molina Healthcare, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Company), with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Registration
Statement relates to the proposed issuance and sale from time to time (1) by the Company of (a) shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Common Stock); (b) shares of preferred
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Preferred Stock); (c) the Companys senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities (collectively, the Debt Securities), which may be issued pursuant to a
senior debt indenture (the Senior Debt Indenture) between the Company and a trustee to be named therein (the Senior Debt Trustee) and a subordinated debt indenture (the Subordinated Indenture
and, together with the Senior Indenture, the Indentures) between the Company and a trustee to be named therein (the Subordinated Debt Trustee and, together with the Senior Debt Trustee, the
Trustees); (d) warrants of the Company (the Warrants) to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debt Securities, or any combination of the foregoing, which may be issued pursuant to a warrant agreement
(the Warrant Agreement) between the Company and a warrant agent to be named therein (the Warrant Agent); (e) securities purchase contracts obligating the holders thereof to buy Common Stock, Preferred Stock
or Debt Securities from the Company at future dates (Securities Purchase Contracts); (f) depositary shares of the Company (the Depositary Shares), each representing a fractional interest in a share of
Preferred Stock and evidenced by a deposit receipt (the Deposit Receipts), which may be issued pursuant to a deposit agreement among the Company, a depositary to be named therein (the Depositary) and the holders
from time to time of the Deposit Receipts issued thereunder (the Deposit Agreement); and (g) units (the Units) which may be issued under one or more unit agreements (each such unit agreement, a
Unit Agreement) entered into between the Company and a bank or trust company, as unit agent (the Unit Agent); and (2) by certain selling stockholders to be named in a Prospectus Supplement (as
defined below) of Common Stock (the Selling Stockholder Securities).
The offering of the Common Stock,
the Preferred Stock, the Debt Securities, the Warrants, the Securities Purchase Contracts, the Depositary Shares and the Units (each, a Security and, collectively, the Securities), and the Selling Stockholder
Securities, will be as set forth in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, as supplemented by one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each, a Prospectus Supplement).
In connection with this opinion, we have examined such documents and such matters of fact and law that we have deemed necessary for the
purpose of rendering the opinion set forth herein. In such examination, we have assumed without verification (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures, (b) the conformity to originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies, and (c) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates examined by us.
Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. When the necessary corporate action on the part of the Company has been taken to authorize the issuance and sale of such shares of
Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Company, and when such shares of
Molina Healthcare, Inc.

Common Stock are issued and delivered in accordance with the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor (in excess of par value thereof) or upon conversion or
exercise of any Security offered under the Registration Statement (the Offered Security), in accordance with terms of such Offered Security or the instrument governing such Offered Security providing for such conversion or
exercise as approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, for the consideration approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (which consideration is not less than the par value of the Common Stock), such shares of Common Stock will be
validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.
2. Upon designation of the relative rights, preferences and limitations of any
series of Preferred Stock by the Board of Directors of the Company in accordance with the Companys then operative amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the proper filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of a
Certificate of Designations relating to such series of Preferred Stock, all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company will have been taken to authorize the issuance and sale of such series of Preferred Stock proposed to be sold by the
Company, and when such shares of Preferred Stock are issued and delivered in accordance with any applicable securities purchase agreement or the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor (in excess of par value thereof),
such shares of Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
3. When the Indenture and any supplemental
indenture to be entered into in connection with the issuance of any series of Debt Securities have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and the Company, the specific terms of a particular series of Debt Securities have been
duly authorized and established in accordance with the Indenture, and such series of Debt Securities have been duly authorized, executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in accordance with the Indenture, any applicable Warrant or securities
purchase agreement or the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Debt Securities will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
4. When the Warrant Agreement to be entered into in connection with the issuance of any Warrants has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Warrant Agent and the Company, the specific terms of the Warrants have been duly authorized and established in accordance with the Warrant Agreement, and such Warrants have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered in
accordance with the Warrant Agreement and the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Warrants will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their
terms.
5. When specific terms of the Securities Purchase Contracts have been approved by all necessary corporate action on the part of
the Company, the Securities Purchase Contracts have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the purchasers thereof and the Company, and the Securities Purchase Contracts have been issued and sold in accordance with the applicable purchase,
underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Securities Purchase Contracts will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
6. When the Deposit Agreement to be entered into in connection with the issuance of any Depositary Shares has been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Depositary and the Company, the specific terms of the Depositary Shares have been duly authorized and established in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, the underlying series of Preferred Stock has been validly issued as
described in paragraph 2 above, the Depositary has duly issued the Deposit Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares against deposit of the Preferred Stock in respect thereof in accordance with the Deposit Agreement, and the Deposit Receipts
have been duly executed, issued and delivered by one of the Depositarys authorized officers in accordance with the Deposit Agreement and the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Deposit Receipts will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.

7. When the
Unit Agreement to be entered into in connection with the issuance of any Units has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Unit Agent and the Company, the specific terms of the Units have been duly authorized and established in
accordance with the Unit Agreement, and such Units have been duly authorized, executed, issued and delivered in accordance with the Unit Agreement and the applicable underwriting or other agreement against payment therefor, such Units will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms.
The opinions set
forth in paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 above are subject in each case to the effect of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally (including,
without limitation, the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent transfers or conveyances or preferential transfers or conveyances) and general principles of reasonableness and equity, regardless of whether enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.
In connection with the opinions expressed above, we have assumed that, at or prior to the time of
the delivery of any Security, (i) the Board of Directors shall have duly established the terms of such security and duly authorized the issuance and sale of such security and such authorization shall not have been modified or rescinded;
(ii) the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto (including post-effective amendments) shall have been declared effective and shall comply with all applicable laws at the time such Security is offered or issued, and such effectiveness
shall not have been terminated or rescinded; (iii) a Prospectus Supplement will have been prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission describing the Securities offered thereby and will comply with all applicable laws;
(iv) all Securities will be issued and sold in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, with respect to any Debt Securities, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended) and in the manner
stated in the Registration Statement and the appropriate Prospectus Supplement; (v) a definitive purchase, underwriting or similar agreement with respect to any Securities offered will have been duly authorized and validly executed and
delivered by the Company and the other parties thereto; (vi) any Securities issuable upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Security being offered or issued will be duly authorized, created and, if appropriate, reserved for issuance upon
such conversion, exchange or exercise; and (vii) there shall not have occurred any change in law affecting the validity or enforceability of such Security. We have also assumed that none of the terms of any Security to be established subsequent
to the date hereof, nor the issuance and delivery of such Security, nor the compliance by the Company with the terms of such Security will violate any applicable law or public policy or will result in a violation of any provision of any instrument
or agreement then binding upon the Company, or any restriction imposed by any court or governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company.
The opinions expressed herein are limited to the federal laws of the United States of America, the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware and, as to the Debt Securities constituting valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, the laws of the State of New York.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption
Legal Matters in the Prospectus which forms part of the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit we are included in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ BOUTIN JONES INC.
Exhibit 23.1
