Common use of Adjustments to Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of Rights Clause in Contracts

Adjustments to Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of Rights. The Purchase Price, the number and kind of securities, cash and other property obtainable upon exercise of each Right and the number of Rights outstanding shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11. (i) In the event the Company shall at any time on or after the date of this Agreement (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on the Preferred Stock payable in shares of Preferred Stock, (B) subdivide (by a stock split or otherwise) the outstanding Preferred Stock into a larger number of shares, (C) combine (by a reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue any securities in a reclassification of the Preferred Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation), then in each such event the Purchase Price and the Redemption Price set forth in Section 23, as each is in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution, or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, shall be proportionately adjusted by multiplying the Purchase Price and such Redemption Price by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of such event and the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding immediately following the occurrence of such event. If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii). (ii) Upon the first occurrence of a Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall thereafter have the right to receive, and the Company shall issue, upon exercise thereof at the then-current Purchase Price required to be paid in order to exercise a Right in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in lieu of the number of one one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock or other securities receivable upon exercise of a Right prior to the occurrence of the Triggering Event, such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by (x) multiplying the then-current Purchase Price by the number of one-thousandths of a share of Preferred Stock or other securities for which a Right was then exercisable (without giving effect to such Triggering Event) and (y) dividing that product by 50% of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of the occurrence of the Triggering Event (such number of shares being referred to as the "Adjustment Shares"); provided, however, that if the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise to the foregoing adjustment is also subject to the provisions of Section 13, then only the provisions of Section 13 shall apply and no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii). Upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event, the Purchase Price required to be paid in order to exercise a Right shall be unchanged, and the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect, and shall thereafter mean, the amount required to be paid per share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Right. (iii) In lieu of issuing shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii), the Company may, if a majority of the Board of Directors determines that such action is necessary or appropriate and not contrary to the interests of holders of Rights (and, in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock which are authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation, but which are not outstanding or reserved for issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights, are not sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii), the Company shall) take one or more of the following actions: (A) reduce (but in no event less than the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock) the Purchase Price required to be paid in order to exercise a Right by any amount (the "Reduction Amount"), in which event the number of Adjustment Shares and/or the amount of any Substitute Consideration (as hereinafter defined) issuable in respect of each Right (the Adjustment Shares, if any, and the Substitute Consideration, if any, issuable in respect of a Right are herein collectively referred to as the "Total Consideration") shall be reduced so that the aggregate value of the Total Consideration issuable in respect of each Right is equal to the Current Value (as hereinafter defined) less the Reduction Amount (such difference, the "Adjusted Current Value"); and/or (B) make adequate provision with respect to each Right to substitute for all or part of the Adjustment Shares otherwise obtainable upon exercise of a Right: (1) cash, (2) other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, shares, or units of shares, of preferred stock which a majority of the Board of Directors have determined (which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes) to have the same value as shares of Common Stock (such shares or units of preferred stock being referred to as "Common Stock Equivalents")), (3) debt securities of the Company, (4) other assets, or (5) any combination of the foregoing (collectively, "Substitute Consideration") having an aggregate value which, when added to the value of the Adjustment Shares (if any) in respect of which no substitution is being made, is equal to the Adjusted Current Value. If a majority of the Board of Directors determines to issue or deliver any equity securities (other than Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents), debt securities and/or other assets pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii), the value of such securities and/or assets shall be determined by a majority of the Board of Directors based upon the advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by a majority of the Board of Directors (which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes). If the Company is required to make adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 11(a)(iii) and the Company shall not have made such adequate provision to deliver value within ninety (90) days following the first occurrence of a Triggering Event (the "Substitution Period"), then notwithstanding any provision of Section 11(a)(ii) or this Section 11(a)(iii) to the contrary, the Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, shares of Common Stock (to the extent available) and then, if necessary, cash, which shares and/or cash have an aggregate value equal to the excess of the Current Value over the Purchase Price. If both Common Stock and cash are to be delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, amounts of both Common Stock and cash shall be delivered upon surrender of each Right in a ratio of Common Stock to cash that bears the same ratio as the total value of all Common Stock to be delivered (as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii)) bears to the total value of all cash to be delivered; provided, however, that the Company may adjust such ratio to avoid issuing any fractional shares of Common Stock so long as the method of adjustment is applied consistently to each holder of Rights entitled to receive value thereon pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii).

If an event occurs which would require an adjustment under both this Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition to, and shall be made prior to, any adjustment required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii). (ii) Upon the first occurrence of a Triggering Event, proper provision shall be made so that each holder of a Right, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, shall thereafter have the right to receive, and the Company shall issue, upon exercise thereof at the then-current Purchase Price required to be paid in order to exercise a Right in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in lieu of the number of one one-thousandths hundredths of a share of Preferred Stock or other securities receivable upon exercise of a Right prior to the occurrence of the Triggering Event, such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as shall equal the result obtained by (x) multiplying the then-current Purchase Price by the number of one-thousandths hundredths of a share of Preferred Stock or other securities for which a Right was then exercisable (without giving effect to such Triggering Event) and (y) dividing that product by the lesser of (I) 50% of the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of the occurrence of the Triggering Event and (II) the then-current Purchase Price (such number of shares being referred to as the "Adjustment Shares"); provided, however, that if the transaction or event that would otherwise give rise to the foregoing adjustment is also subject to the provisions of Section 13, then only the provisions of Section 13 shall apply and no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii). Upon the occurrence of such Triggering Event, the Purchase Price required to be paid in order to exercise a Right shall be unchanged, and the Purchase Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect, and shall thereafter mean, the amount required to be paid per share of Common Stock upon exercise of a Right.

If both Common Stock and cash are to be delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, amounts of both Common Stock and cash shall be delivered upon surrender of each Right in a ratio of Common Stock to cash that bears the same ratio as the total value of all Common Stock to be delivered (as determined pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii)) bears to the total value of all cash to be delivered; provided, however, that the Company may adjust such ratio to avoid issuing any fractional shares of Common Stock so long as the method of adjustment is applied consistently to each holder of Rights entitled to receive value thereon with respect thereto pursuant to this Section 11(a)(iii). To the extent that the Company determines that some actionaction is to be taken pursuant to the first and/or third sentences of this Section 11(a)(iii), the Company may suspend the exercisability of the Rights but in no event to a time later than the expiration of the Substitution Period. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended, as well as a public announcement at such time as the suspension is no longer in effect.
