FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE
ADVANCED MEDICAL OPTICS, INC.
3.25% CONVERTIBLE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2026
This note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Company, designated as its 3.25% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2026 (herein called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal amount to $500,000,000, issued and to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of June 13, 2006, (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Notes. Defined terms used but not otherwise defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all Notes may be declared to be due and payable by either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and, upon said declaration the same shall be due and payable, (a) immediately if there shall no longer be a Senior Credit Facility or (b) if the Senior Credit Facility is in effect, immediately upon the earlier to occur of (i) the date indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility is declared accelerated and (ii) the fifth Business Day after written notice of the declaration of such acceleration has been given to the agents under the Senior Credit Facility, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, to execute supplemental indentures adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Notes, subject to exceptions set forth in Section 11.02 of the Indenture. Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may, on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes, waive any past default or Event of Default, subject to exceptions set forth in the Indenture. Upon any such waiver, said default shall for all purposes of this Note and the Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Notes is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the Indenture, contractually subordinated in right of payment or satisfaction to the prior payment or satisfaction in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company, whether outstanding at the date of the Indenture or thereafter incurred, and this
A-7
Note is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect to such subordination. Each holder of this Note, by accepting the same, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions and authorizes the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall impair, as among the Company and the holder of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest on this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
The Notes are issuable in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any multiple of $1,000. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, without payment of any service charge but with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration or exchange of Notes, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of any other authorized denominations.
At any time on or after August 4, 2014 and prior to maturity, the Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, upon mailing a notice of such redemption not less than 30 calendar days but not more than 60 calendar days before the redemption date to each holder of Notes, all as provided in the Indenture, in cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes being redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date; provided that if the redemption date is after a record date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the holder of record of this Note on the preceding January 15 or July 15, as the case may be. The Company may not redeem any Notes if a default in the payment of interest on the Notes has occurred and is continuing.
The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund.
If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to maturity of the Notes, this Note will be subject to a repurchase in cash, at the option of the holder, on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specified by the Company, that is not less than 20 Business Days nor more than 35 Business Days after notice thereof, at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount hereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date , if any; provided that
A-8
if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a record date and on or prior the corresponding interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the holder of record of this Note on the preceding January 15 or July 15, as the case may be. The Notes submitted for repurchase must be $1,000 in principal amount or whole multiples thereof. The Company shall mail to all holders of record of the Notes (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) a notice of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right arising as a result thereof on or before the 10th Business Day after the occurrence of such Fundamental Change. For a Note to be so redeemed at the option of the holder, the holder must deliver to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Repurchase Notice containing the information specified by the Indenture, together with such Note, duly endorsed for transfer, or (if the Notes are Global Notes) book-entry transfer of the Note, prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, each holder shall have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of the Notes held by such holder, on August 1, 2014, August 1, 2017, and August 1, 2021, at a repurchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Note, together with any accrued and unpaid interest on this Note to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date. The accrued and unpaid interest shall be payable to the holder of record of this Note on the preceding January 15 or July 15, as the case may be. To exercise such right, a holder shall deliver to the Paying Agent the Repurchase Notice containing the information specified by the Indenture, together with the Note, duly endorsed for transfer, or (if the Notes are Global Notes) book-entry transfer of the Note, at any time from 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that is 20 Business Days prior to the applicable Repurchase Date to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Repurchase Date.
Holders have the right to withdraw any Repurchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as applicable, all as provided in the Indenture.
If on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the repurchase price of the Notes that holders have elected to require the Company to repurchase in accordance with the Indenture, then, on the Fundamental Change repurchase Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case may be, such Notes will cease to be outstanding, interest will cease to accrue and all other rights of the holders of such Notes will terminate, other than the right to receive the repurchase price upon delivery or book entry transfer of the Note. This will be the case whether or not book entry transfer of the Note has been made or the Notes has been delivered to the Paying Agent.
A-9
Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert each $1,000 principal amount of this Note into cash or, as provided in the Indenture, cash and shares of Common Stock, equal to the conversion rate of 16.7771 shares of Common Stock (a conversion price of approximately $59.61 per share), subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Note (if in certificated form) with the form entitled “Conversion Notice” on the reverse hereof duly completed and manually signed, to the Company at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of New York in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, or at the option of such holder, the Corporate Trust Office, together with any funds required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, and, unless the shares issuable on conversion, if any, are to be issued in the same name as this Note, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney; provided , however , that at any time prior to the close of business on the trading Day preceding July 1, 2014, holders may convert their Notes only upon the occurrence of specified events set forth in the Indenture. The Company will notify the holder thereof of any event triggering the right to convert the Notes prior to July 1, 2014, as specified above in accordance with the Indenture. In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any interest in a Global Note, the holder must complete the appropriate instruction form pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, deliver by book-entry delivery an interest in such Global Note, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or conversion agent, and pay the funds, if any, required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.
In the event the holder surrenders this Note for conversion in connection with a Fundamental Change occurring prior to August 1, 2014, the Company will increase the applicable Conversion Rate by the Make Whole Amount as and when provided in the Indenture.
No adjustment in respect of interest on any Note converted or dividends on any shares issued upon conversion of such Note will be made upon any conversion except as set forth in the next sentence. If this Note (or portion hereof) is surrendered for conversion during the period from the 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on any applicable Record Date for the payment of interest to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the corresponding interest payment date, this Note (or portion hereof being converted) must be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to the interest otherwise payable on such interest payment date on the principal amount being converted; provided that no such payment shall be required (1) if the holder surrenders this Note for conversion in connection with a redemption and the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, (2) if the holder surrenders this Note in connection with a Fundamental Change and the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase
A-10
Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date or (3) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any exists at the time of conversion with respect to this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Notes submitted for conversion in connection with a Fundamental Change as set forth in the Indenture, such Notes shall continue to represent the right to receive the Make Whole Amount, if any, payable pursuant to the Indenture until such Make Whole Amount is so paid.
No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but an adjustment and payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Note or Notes for conversion.
A Note in respect of which a holder is exercising its right to require repurchase may be converted only if such holder validly withdraws its election to exercise such right to require repurchase in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
Any Notes called for redemption, unless surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day preceding the Redemption Date, may be deemed, to the fullest extent required by law, to be redeemed from the holders of such Notes for an amount equal to the applicable redemption price, together with accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption, by one or more investment banks or other purchasers who may agree with the Company (i) to purchase such Notes from the holders thereof and convert them into cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock, and (ii) to make payment for such Notes as aforesaid to the Trustee in trust for the holders.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in the Indenture, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture. No service charge shall be made to any holder for any registration of, transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment by the holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.
The Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any conversion agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name this Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Note, for conversion of this Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any conversion agent nor
A-11
any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any holder for the time being, or upon his order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable upon any this Note.
No recourse for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on this Note, or for any claim based hereon or otherwise in respect hereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in the Indenture or any supplemental indenture or in any Note, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, member, manager, employee, agent, officer, director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor thereto, either directly or through the Company or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or of any successor thereto, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of the Indenture and the issue of this Note.
In addition to the rights provided to holders of Notes under the Indenture, holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 13, 2006, between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).
