Effect of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice; Withdrawal.Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, the Holder of the Separate Convertible Note in respect of which such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is validly withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.03) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Repurchase Price with respect to such Separate Convertible Note. Such Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder on the later of (x) two (2) Business Days following the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Separate Convertible Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 3.03 and (y) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to such Separate Convertible Note (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.01).
Separate Convertible Notes in respect of which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 7 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.03.
A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the office of the Paying Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date specifying:
| (i) the name of the Holder; | |

| (iii) the principal amount of Separate Convertible Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which must be an integral multiple of $1,000; and | |
| (iv) the principal amount of Separate Convertible Notes, if any, that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice and that has been or will be delivered for repurchase by the Company. |
If a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is properly withdrawn, the Company shall not be obligated to repurchase the Separate Convertible Notes listed in such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(b) The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
Section 3.04. Deposit of Repurchase Price.(a) Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03 of the Base Indenture an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all the Separate Convertible Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
(b) If on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Paying Agent holds money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of the Separate Convertible Notes that Holders have elected to require the Company to repurchase in accordance with Section 3.01, then, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date each such Separate Convertible Note shall cease to be outstanding, interest will cease to accrue and all other rights of the Holders of each such Separate Convertible Note shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Repurchase Price upon delivery or book-entry transfer of the Separate Convertible Note or, if such Separate Convertible Note has been timely tendered for conversion, the cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock due upon such conversion. This shall be the case whether or not book-entry transfer of the Separate Convertible Note has been made or the Separate Convertible Note has been delivered to the Paying Agent.
Section 3.05. Notes Repurchased in Part.Upon presentation of any Separate Convertible Note to be repurchased only in part, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of such Separate Convertible Note or Separate Convertible Notes the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Convertible Note or Convertible Notes in aggregate principal amount equal to the unrepurchased portion of the Separate Convertible Notes presented (provided that the unrepurchased portion of the Separate Convertible Notes must be in an integral multiple of $1,000).
15
The Company, if requested, shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to Section 3.01, a portion of a Separate Convertible Note, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. The provisions of this Supplemental Indenture No.1 that apply to the repurchase of all of a Separate Convertible Note also apply to the repurchase of such portion of such Separate Convertible Note. |
Section 3.06. Repayment to the Company.Subject to Section 10.3 of the Base Indenture, upon the Company’s request the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any cash that remains unclaimed, held by it for the payment of the Repurchase Price;provided that to the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 exceeds the aggregate Repurchase Price of the Separate Convertible Notes or portions thereof which the Company is obligated to repurchase as of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date then, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, promptly after the second Business Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Paying Agent shall return any such excess to the Company, together with interest, if any, thereon.

ARTICLE 7
CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES
Section 7.01. Right to Convert.(a) Upon compliance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture, on or after the twenty-second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Holder of any Separate Convertible Notes not previously repurchased shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert its Separate Convertible Notes, or any portion thereof which is a multiple of $1,000, into cash and, if applicable, Common Stock, as provided in Section 7.11, by surrender of such Separate Convertible Notes so to be converted in whole or in part, together with any required funds, under the circumstances and in the manner described in this Article 7.
Section 7.02. Conversion Upon Specified Transactions.(a) In addition to the right to convert set forth in Section 7.01, Holders may convert their Separate Convertible Notes at any time prior to the twenty-second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date upon the occurrence of one of the following events:
| (i) the Company elects to distribute to all holders of Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of issuance thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such issuance; or |
18
| (ii) the Company elects to distribute to all holders of Common Stock assets, debt securities or certain rights to purchase the securities of the Company, which distribution has a per share value exceeding 5% of the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution. |
The Company must notify the Holders of the Convertible Notes at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for a distribution under clause (i) or clause (ii). Following the issuance of such notice, Holders may surrender their Separate Convertible Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or an announcement that such distribution will not take place;provided,however, that no adjustment to the ability of the Holders of Separate Convertible Notes to convert their Separate Convertible Notes shall be made if Holders, as a result of holding the Separate Convertible Notes, are entitled to participate at the same time as Common Stock holders participate in such transaction or distribution as if such Holders of Convertible Notes held a number shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate,multipliedby the principal amount of Convertible Notes held by such Holder, without having to convert their Convertible Notes.
(b) In addition, upon a Fundamental Change, a Holder may surrender its Separate Convertible Notes for conversion at any time from and including the effective date of the Fundamental Change up to and including the second Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders of Corporate Units and Separate Convertible Notes and the Trustee as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction or event.
A Separate Convertible Note in respect of which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice exercising such Holder’s right to require the Company to repurchase such Separate Convertible Note pursuant to Section 3.01 may be converted only if such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.03 prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.
Section 7.03. Exercise of Conversion Right.(a) In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Separate Convertible Note in certificated form, the Holder must deliver to the Paying Agent such Separate Convertible Note with the irrevocable duly completed and manually signed form entitled “Conversion Notice” on the reverse thereof (a “Conversion Notice”), together with, if the Separate Convertible Note is in certificated form, such Separate Convertible Note duly endorsed for transfer, along with appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, if required, accompanied by the funds, if any, required by this Section 7.03. Such notice shall also state the name or names (with address or addresses) in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock that shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued, and shall be accompanied by transfer or similar taxes, if required pursuant to Section 7.07. To convert a Separate Convertible Note held in book-entry form, a Holder must convert by book-entry
19
transfer to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of DTC and the conversion notice must comply with all applicable DTC procedures.
Holders may also obtain copies of the required form of the Conversion Notice from the Conversion Agent. A certificate, or a book-entry transfer through DTC, for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, if any, for which any Separate Convertible Notes are converted, together with a cash payment for any fractional shares, shall be delivered through the Conversion Agent as soon as practicable, but no later than the third Business Day following the last Trading Day of the Note Observation Period.
(b) If the Company is required to deliver shares of Common Stock (upon settlement in accordance with Sections 7.11 and 7.12, if applicable, on the third Business Day immediately following the last day of the Note Observation Period), after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer if shares issuable on conversion are to be issued in a name other than that of the Holder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Separate Convertible Note or Separate Convertible Notes (or portion thereof) so converted), and in accordance with the time periods set forth in this Article 7, the Company shall deliver to such Holder at the office or agency maintained by the Company for such purpose pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture, (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock (if any) deliverable upon the conversion of such Separate Convertible Note or portion thereof as determined by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Sections 7.11 and 7.12 and (ii) a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion, calculated by the Company as provided in Section 7.04. The cash, and, if applicable, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock into which the Separate Convertible Notes are converted (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) shall be delivered to a converting Holder after satisfaction of the requirements for conversion set forth above, in accordance with this Section 7.03 and Sections 7.11 and, if applicable, 7.12.
(c) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Separate Convertible Note (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in this Article 7 have been satisfied as to such Separate Convertible Note (or portion thereof) (the “Conversion Date”), and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become on said date the holder of record of the shares represented thereby;provided that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the Person in whose name the certificates are to be issued as the record holder thereof for all purposes on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date.
(d) Any Separate Convertible Note or portion thereof surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on the Record Date for any Interest Payment Date to the close of business on the applicable Interest Payment Date shall be accompanied by payment, in immediately available funds or other funds acceptable to the Company, of an amount equal to
20
the interest otherwise payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount being converted;provided that no such payment need be made (1) if a Holder converts its Separate Convertible Notes in connection with a Fundamental Change and the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately succeeding the corresponding Interest Payment Date, (2) with respect to any conversion on or following the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Separate Convertible Note. Except as otherwise provided above in this Article 7, no payment or other adjustment shall be made for interest accrued on any Separate Convertible Note converted or for dividends on any shares issued upon the conversion of such Separate Convertible Note as provided in this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Separate Convertible Notes submitted for conversion in connection with a Fundamental Change, such Separate Convertible Notes shall continue to represent the right to receive the Additional Cash Merger Shares, if any, payable pursuant to Section 7.12, until such Additional Cash Merger Shares are so paid.
(e) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Convertible Note, the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company), or the custodian at the direction of the Trustee (or other Conversion Agent appointed by the Company), shall make a notation on such Global Convertible Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Separate Convertible Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(f) Upon the conversion of a Separate Convertible Note, the accrued but unpaid interest attributable to the period from the issue date of the Separate Convertible Note to the Conversion Date, with respect to the converted Separate Convertible Note, shall not be deemed canceled, extinguished or forfeited, but rather shall be deemed to be paid in full to the Holder thereof through delivery of cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock (together with the cash payment, if any in lieu of fractional shares) in exchange for the Separate Convertible Note being converted pursuant to the provisions hereof.
(g) In case any Separate Convertible Note of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, and subject to Section 3.3 of the Base Indenture, the Company shall execute and upon receipt of such Separate Convertible Note or Separate Convertible Notes the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Separate Convertible Note so surrendered, without charge to the Holder, a new Separate Convertible Note or Separate Convertible Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Separate Convertible Note.
Section 7.04. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares.No fractional shares of Common Stock or scrip certificates representing fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of Separate Convertible Notes. If more than one Separate Convertible Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares that shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of
21
the Separate Convertible Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered and the aggregate sum of all Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Note Observation Period (and not in respect of each Daily Settlement Amount nor some portion of the Daily Settlement Amounts for one or some portion of the 20 Trading Days during the Note Observation Period). If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the conversion of any Separate Convertible Note or Separate Convertible Notes, the Company shall make an adjustment and payment therefor in cash to the Holder of Separate Convertible Notes at a price equal to the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the last day of the Note Observation Period.
Section 7.05. Conversion Rate.The initial Conversion Rate for the Convertible Notes is 15.4332 shares of Common Stock per each $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 7.06 and 8.13 (herein called the “Conversion Rate”).
Section 7.06. Adjustments of Conversion Rate.The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
(a) If the Company issues Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on its Common Stock to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × OS1 / OS0 | |
| where: | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date or the effective date of such share split or share combination; | |
| CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately on and after the Ex-Dividend Date, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; | |
| OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination; and | |
| OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination. |
Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective as of the open of business on (x) the Ex-Dividend Date or (y) the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
22
(b) If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any rights, warrants or options entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days after the date of distribution thereof to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, in any case at an exercise price per share of Common Stock less than the Closing Price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the time of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × (OS0 + X) / (OS0 + Y) | |
| where: | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately on and after the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| X = the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, warrants or options; and | |
| Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate price payable to exercise all such rights, warrants or options and (B) the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for the distribution of such rights, warrants or options. |
For purposes of this paragraph (b), in determining whether any rights, warrants or options entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock at less than the applicable Closing Price of the Common Stock, and in determining the aggregate exercise or conversion price payable for such Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, warrants or options and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Company. If any right, warrant or option described in this paragraph (b) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such right, warrant or option had not been so issued.
(c) If the Company distributes shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company to all holders of its Common Stock, excluding:
| (A) dividends, distributions, rights, warrants or options referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) above; | |
| (B) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and |
23
| (C) Spin-Offs described below in this paragraph (c), |
then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × SP0 / (SP0 – FMV) | |
| where | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| CR1 = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately on and after the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| SP0 = the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date; and | |
| FMV = the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date, expressed as an amount per share of Common Stock. |
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall become effective as of the open of business on the ex-dividend date for such distribution.
If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit (“Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off shall be increased based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × (FMV0 + MP0) / MP0 | |
| where: | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; | |
| CR1 = the new Conversion Rate immediately after the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the Spin-Off; | |
| FMV0 = the average of the Closing Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; and |
24
| MP0 = the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Days after the effective date of the Spin-Off. |
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day from and including the effective date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any conversion within the 10 Trading Days following the effective date of any Spin-Off, references within this paragraph (c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such Spin-Off and the conversion date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate.
If any such dividend or distribution described in this paragraph (c) is declared but not paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(d) If any regular, quarterly cash dividend or distribution made to all or substantially all holders of the Company’s Common Stock during any quarterly fiscal period does not equal $0.30 per share (the “Initial Dividend Threshold”), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × (SP0 – IDT) / (SP0 – C) | |
| where, | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| SP0 = the Closing Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Common Stock; and | |
| IDT = the Initial Dividend Threshold. |
If the denominator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount) then in lieu of any adjustment under this Section 7.06(d), the Company shall make adequate provision so that each Holder of Convertible Notes shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Convertible Notes on the Ex-Dividend Date.
The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate,provided that no adjustment will be made to
25
the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.06(d)
(e) If the Company pays any cash dividend or distribution that is not a regular, quarterly cash dividend or distribution to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × SP0 / (SP0 – C) | |
| where, | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Ex-Dividend Date; | |
| SP0 = the Closing Price of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date; and | |
| C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock. |
The Initial Dividend Threshold is subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate;provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Initial Dividend Threshold for any adjustment made to the Conversion Rate under this Section 7.06(e).
An adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to Sections 7.06(d) or 7.06(e) shall become effective as of the open of business on the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in Section 7.06(d) or 7.06(e) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the denominator of the foregoing fraction is less than $1.00 (including a negative amount), then in lieu of any adjustment under this Section 7.06(e), the Company shall make adequate provision so that each Holder of Convertible Notes shall have the right to receive upon conversion, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder converted such Convertible Notes on the Ex-Dividend Date.
(f) If the Company or any of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Company’s Common Stock to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Company’s Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
| CR1 = CR0 × (AC + (SP1 × OS1)) / (SP1 × OS0) |
26
| where: | |
| CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect on the Trading Day on which such tender or exchange offer expires; | |
| CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect on the Trading Day immediately following the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | |
| AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Company) paid or payable for the Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | |
| OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires; | |
| OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and | |
| SP1 = the Closing Price of Common Stock for the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. |
If the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made.
Any adjustment to the Conversion Rate made pursuant to this Section 7.06(f) shall become effective on the second day immediately following the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. If the Company or one of its subsidiaries is obligated to purchase the Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.
All required calculations will be made to the nearest cent or 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be.
(g) If the Company has in effect a rights plan while any Convertible Notes remain outstanding, Holders of Separate Convertible Notes shall receive, upon a conversion of Separate Convertible Notes, in addition to Common Stock, if any, rights under the Company’s shareholder rights agreement unless, prior to conversion, the rights have expired, terminated or been redeemed or unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock. If the rights provided for in the rights plan adopted by the Company have separated from the Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable shareholder rights agreement so that Holders of Convertible Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of any shares of Common Stock delivered upon a conversion of Separate Convertible Notes, the Conversion Rate
27
shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had distributed, to all holders of Common Stock, capital stock, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property pursuant to Section 7.06(c) above, subject to readjustment upon the subsequent expiration, termination or redemption of the rights.
(h) In addition to the adjustments pursuant to Sections 7.06(a) through 7.06(f) above, the Company may increase the Conversion Rate in order to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of its Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of capital stock (or rights to acquire the Company’s Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes. The Company may also, from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for any period if the Company has determined that such increase would be in its best interests. If the Company makes such determination, it shall be conclusive and the Company shall mail to Holders of the Convertible Notes a notice of the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect in accordance with applicable law.
(i) The Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders of the Convertible Notes participate in the dividend, distribution or transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate at the same time as holders of the Common Stock and as if such Holders of Convertible Notes owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction the numerator of which is the product of the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date or effective date for the relevant dividend, distribution or transaction,and the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes held by such Holder and the denominator of which is one thousand ($1,000).
(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in addition to the other events set forth herein on account of which no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted for:
| (i) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on securities of the Company or those of the Company and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan; | |
| (ii) the issuance of any Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director, trustee or consultant benefit plan, employee agreement or arrangement or program of the Company; | |
| (iii) the issuance of any Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Convertible Notes were first issued; | |
| (iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock; |
28
Section 7.08. Reservation of Shares; Shares to Be Fully Paid; Compliance with Government Requirements; Listing of Common Stock.The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the Convertible Notes as required by this Supplemental Indenture No.1 from time to time as such Convertible Notes are presented for conversion.
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Convertible Notes shall upon issue be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Convertible Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
The Company further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on The New York Stock Exchange or any other national or regional securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company shall, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes;provided that if the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of Convertible Notes in accordance with the provisions of this Supplemental Indenture No.1, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes in accordance with the requirements of such exchange or automated quotation system at such time
29
Section 7.09. Responsibility of Trustee.The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to determine the Applicable Conversion Rate or whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any capital stock, other securities or other assets or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Convertible Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company or the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Convertible Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company or the Company contained in this Article 7. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 7.06 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of capital stock or other securities or other assets or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Convertible Notes after any event referred to in such Section 7.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto.
Section 7.10. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.06; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other rights or warrants;
(c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation, combination, merger or share exchange to which the Company or the Company is a party and for which approval of any shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company,
30
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Holder of Convertible Notes at its address appearing on the Security Register provided for in Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.
Section 7.11. Settlement Upon Conversion.(a) Upon conversion of any Separate Convertible Notes, subject to Sections 7.01, 7.03 and this Section 7.11, the Company shall satisfy its obligation upon conversion by payment and delivery of cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination thereof, as described below, for each $1,000 aggregate principal amount of Separate Convertible Notes tendered for conversion in accordance with their terms.
(b) Upon conversion of Separate Convertible Notes, the Company shall deliver, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Separate Convertible Notes tendered for conversion in accordance with their terms:
| (i) cash and Common Stock, subject to Section 7.11(e) below with respect to all or any portion of Common Stock the Company elects to settle in cash, or a combination thereof, equal to the sum of the Note Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Note Observation Period (the “Note Settlement Amount”); and | |
| (ii) an amount in cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 7.04. |
(c) The “NoteDaily Settlement Amount,” for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Note Observation Period, shall consist of:
| (i) cash equal to the lesser of (i) $50 and (ii) the Daily Conversion Value on such Trading Day, as described below; and | |
| (ii) to the extent the Daily Conversion Value on such Trading Day exceeds $50, a number of shares (the “Note Daily Share Amount”), subject to the Company’s right to pay cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares, as described below, equal to (i) |
31
| the difference between the Daily Conversion Value on such Trading Day and $50,divided by(ii) the Daily VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock for such Trading Day. |
(d) The “Daily Conversion Value” for each 20 consecutive Trading Days during the Note Observation Period, shall be one-twentieth of the product of (i) the Applicable Conversion Rate and (ii) the Daily VWAP of the Company’s Common Stock on such day.
(e) The Note Daily Settlement Amount for each of the twenty Trading Days during the Note Observation Period and any amount in cash to be delivered in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock shall be determined by the Company promptly after the end of the Note Observation Period and notified in writing to the Trustee.
(f) By the close of business on the Business Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day of the Note Observation Period, the Company may specify a percentage of each Note Daily Share Amount that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”) and shall notify the Holder of such Cash Percentage through written notice to the Trustee (the “Cash Percentage Notice”). With respect to any Convertible Notes that are converted on or after the 22nd Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Cash Percentage that the Company specifies for the corresponding Note Observation Period shall apply to all such conversions. If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, (x) the amount of cash that the Company shall deliver in lieu of all or an applicable portion of the Note Daily Share Amount in respect of each Trading Day in the Note Observation Period shall equal the product of: (i) the Cash Percentage, (ii) the Note Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day (assuming for this purpose the Company has not specified a Cash Percentage), and (iii) the Daily VWAP for such Trading Day and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of each Trading Day in the Note Observation Period (in lieu of the full Note Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day) will be a percentage of the Note Daily Share Amount (assuming the Company has not specified a Cash Percentage) equal to 100%minus the Cash Percentage.
(g) If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day of the Note Observation Period, the Company shall settle 100% of the Note Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in the Note Observation Period with shares of Common Stock;provided, however, that the Company shall pay cash in lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable upon conversion of such Separate Convertible Note. The Company may, at its option, revoke any Cash Percentage Notice through written notice to the Trustee by the close of business on the Business Day prior to the first Scheduled Trading Day of the Note Observation Period.
(h) Payment of the cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.11(c) shall be made by the Company on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Note Observation Period to the Holder of a Separate Convertible Note surrendered for conversion, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, and the Company shall deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees,
32
certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the number of full shares of Common Stock, if any, to which such Holder shall be entitled.
(i) Upon conversion of Separate Convertible Notes, the Holder shall deliver to the Company cash equal to the amount the Company is required to deduct or withhold under applicable law in connection with such conversion;provided,however, that if the Holder does not deliver such cash, the Company may (or may instruct the Conversion Agent to) deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise deliverable to such Holder the amount required to be deducted and withheld under applicable law.
(j) If a Holder converts Separate Convertible Notes and the Company is required to deliver Common Stock, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of its Common Stock upon the conversion, if any, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests the Common Stock to be issued or delivered to a person other than the Holder, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax prior to receipt of such Common Stock.
Section 7.12. Make-Whole Amount Upon a Cash Merger.(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, if a Holder elects to convert its Separate Convertible Notes in connection with a Cash Merger, the Company shall increase the Applicable Conversion Rate for the Separate Convertible Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Cash Merger Shares”) as specified below;providedthat the Additional Cash Merger Shares shall only be payable as set forth in this Section 7.12. A conversion of Separate Convertible Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such a Cash Merger if the Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent from and after the effective date of the Fundamental Change until the second Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Cash Merger.
(b) The number of Additional Cash Merger Shares shall be determined by reference to the table in clause (e) below and shall be based on the date on which the Cash Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price paid per share of Common Stock in connection with such Cash Merger (the “Stock Price”). If the holders of Common Stock will receive only cash upon the conversion in connection with a Cash Merger, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Closing Prices of the Company’s Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day preceding the Effective Date.
(c) The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Convertible Notes is adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment,multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.
33
(d) The number of Additional Cash Merger Shares shall be adjusted in the same manner and for the same events as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section 7.06.
(e) The following table sets forth the Stock Price and number of Additional Cash Merger Shares to be added to the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes:

(f) If the exact Stock Price and Effective Date are not set forth in the table above, then:
| (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the Additional Cash Merger Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Cash Merger Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year; | |
| (ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $107.50 per share of Common Stock (the “Make-Whole Cap”) (subject to adjustment as described below) no additional Cash Merger Shares shall be added to the Applicable Conversion Rate; and | |
| (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $54.45 per share of Common Stock (the “Make-Whole Floor”) (subject to adjustment as described below) no additional Cash Merger Shares shall be added to the Applicable Conversion Rate. |
(g) The Make-Whole Cap and Make-Whole Floor shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Convertible Notes is adjusted pursuant to Section 7.06. The adjusted Make-Whole Cap or Make-Whole Floor, as the case may be, shall equal the Make-Whole Cap or Make-Whole Floor, as the case may be, applicable immediately prior to such adjustment,multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate
34
immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the adjustment and (ii) the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.12 to the contrary, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Notes exceed 18.3655 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 7.06.
Section 7.13. Calculations in Respect of Convertible Notes.Except as otherwise specifically stated herein or in the Convertible Notes, all calculations to be made in respect of the Convertible Notes, including, but not limited to, the Applicable Conversion Rate, shall be the obligation of the Company. All calculations made by the Company or its agent as contemplated pursuant to the terms hereof and of the Convertible Notes shall be made in good faith and be final and binding on the Convertible Notes and the Holders of the Convertible Notes absent manifest error. The Company shall provide a schedule of calculations to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy of the calculations by the Company without independent verification. The Trustee shall forward calculations made by the Company to any Holder of Convertible Notes upon request.
Section 7.14. Recapitalization, Reclassifications and Changes of Common Stock.If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, reclassification or sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of its properties and assets, in each case pursuant to which all of the Common Stock is exchanged for cash, securities or other property, then at the effective time of such transaction, the Daily VWAP, each Daily Settlement Amount and each Daily Conversion Value shall be calculated based on the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property that a holder of such a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate would have received in such transaction. For purposes of the foregoing, where a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange involves a transaction that causes shares of Common Stock to be exchanged into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration based upon any form of shareholder election, such consideration shall be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election.
ARTICLE 8
REMARKETING
Section 8.01. Remarketing.(a) Unless a Termination Event has occurred prior to the first Remarketing Date, the Company shall engage the Remarketing Agents, subject to the execution of a Remarketing Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, for the Remarketing of the Convertible Notes pursuant to such Remarketing Agreement. The Company will, not later than 15 days prior to the first Remarketing Date, issue a press release with respect to the Remarketing and request that the Depositary or its nominee notify the Beneficial Owners or Depositary Participants holding Separate Convertible Notes, Corporate
35
Units and Treasury Units of the Remarketing Date or Dates and the procedures to be followed in the Remarketing, including, in the case of a Failed Remarketing, the procedures that must be followed by a holder of Separate Convertible Notes if such holder wishes to exercise its Put Right or by a holder of Convertible Notes if such Holder elects not to exercise its Put Right.
(b) Each holder of Separate Convertible Notes may elect to have Separate Convertible Notes held by such holder remarketed in any Remarketing. A holder making such an election must, pursuant to the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, notify the Custodial Agent and deliver such Separate Convertible Notes to the Custodial Agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date (but no earlier than the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding such first day). Any such notice and delivery may not be conditioned upon the level at which the Reset Rate is established in the Remarketing. Any such notice and delivery may be withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement. Any such notice and delivery not withdrawn by such time will be irrevocable with respect to each Remarketing to occur on a Remarketing Date. Pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, promptly after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Remarketing Date, the Custodial Agent, based on the notices and deliveries received by it prior to such time, shall notify the Remarketing Agents of the aggregate principal amount of Separate Convertible Notes tendered for Remarketing and shall cause such Separate Convertible Notes to be presented to the Remarketing Agents. Pursuant and subject to Section 5.02 of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement, Convertible Notes included in Corporate Units will be deemed tendered for Remarketing and will be remarketed in accordance with the terms of the Remarketing Agreement and the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement.
(c) The right of each holder of Remarketed Convertible Notes to have such Convertible Notes remarketed and sold on any Remarketing Date shall be subject to the conditions that (i) a Termination Event has not occurred prior to the first Remarketing Date, (ii) the Remarketing Agents are able to find a purchaser or purchasers for Remarketed Convertible Notes at the Remarketing Price based on the Reset Rate and (iii) the purchaser or purchasers of the Remarketed Convertible Notes deliver the purchase price therefor to the designated Remarketing Agent as and when required.
(d) Neither the Trustee, the Company nor the Remarketing Agents shall be obligated in any case to provide funds to make payment upon tender of Convertible Notes for remarketing.
(e) The Remarketing Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to remarket the Remarketed Convertible Notes at the Remarketing Price, subject to the execution of a Remarketing Agreement and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth therein, on the first Remarketing Date and, unless a Successful Remarketing occurs on such first Remarketing Date, the second Remarketing Date. It is understood and agreed that Remarketing on any Remarketing Date will be considered successful and no further attempts will be made if the resulting proceeds are at least equal to the Remarketing Price.
36
Section 8.02. Reset Rate.(a) In connection with a Remarketing, the Remarketing Agents shall determine the Reset Rate (rounded to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) of one percent per annum).
(b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Reset Rate shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
(c) In the event of a Failed Remarketing on each of the Remarketing Dates, or if no Convertible Notes are included in Corporate Units and none of the holders of the Separate Convertible Notes elect to have their Convertible Notes remarketed in any Remarketing, the applicable interest rate on the Convertible Notes will not be reset and will continue to be the Initial Interest Rate.
(d) In the event of a Successful Remarketing, the Initial Interest Rate may be reset on the Remarketing Settlement Date to the Reset Rate as determined by the Remarketing Agents under the Remarketing Agreement, and the Company shall issue a press release promptly after such Successful Remarketing containing such Reset Rate and publish such information on its website.
(e) In the event of a Failed Remarketing, the Company shall issue a press release and cause a notice of such Failed Remarketing to be published on its website (with a copy of such notice to be provided to the Purchase Contract Agent) before 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such Failed Remarketing.
Section 8.03. Failed Remarketing.If, by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Remarketing Date, the Remarketing Agents are unable to remarket all of the Remarketed Convertible Notes at or above the Remarketing Price pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof and of the Remarketing Agreement, a Failed Remarketing shall be deemed to have occurred.
Section 8.04. Put Right.(a) Subject to paragraph (b) hereof, if there has not been a Successful Remarketing prior to the end of the second Remarketing Date, holders of Convertible Notes will, subject to this Section 8.02, have the right (the “Put Right”) to require the Company to purchase such Convertible Notes on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, at a price per Convertible Note to be purchased equal to the principal amount of the applicable Convertible Note (the “Put Price”). For the avoidance of doubt, Holders of record on the Record Date related to the Interest Payment Date falling on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Interest Payment Date.
(b) The Put Right of holders of Convertible Notes that are part of Corporate Units will be deemed to be automatically exercised unless such holders (1) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, provide written notice to the Purchase Contract Agent of their intention to settle the related Purchase Contract with separate cash, and (2) on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day, deliver to the Collateral Agent $1,000 in cash per Purchase Contract, in each
37
case pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 5.02(b)(iii) of the Purchase Contract and Pledge Agreement with respect to such settlement, and such holders shall be deemed to have elected to apply the proceeds of the Put Right of the Convertible Notes underlying such Convertible Notes equal to the Purchase Price against such holders’ obligations to pay the aggregate Purchase Price for the shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Purchase Contracts in full satisfaction of such holders’ obligations under the Purchase Contracts.
(c) The Put Right of a holder of a Separate Convertible Note shall only be exercisable upon delivery of a notice to the Trustee by such holder on or prior to the second Business Day immediately preceding the Purchase Contract Settlement Date. On or prior to the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay, on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, the aggregate Put Price of all Separate Convertible Notes with respect to which a holder has exercised a Put Right. In exchange for any Separate Convertible Notes surrendered pursuant to the Put Right, the Trustee shall then distribute such amount to the holders of such Separate Convertible Notes.
