On or after the six (6) month anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company shall deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Company under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
Exchange in Lieu of Conversion (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election, direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion (an “Exchange Election”). In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion for exchange in lieu of conversion, the Designated Institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and Common Stock, at the Company’s election, that would otherwise be due upon conversion (the “Conversion Consideration”) as described in Section 14.02 above. If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee), in writing that it has made an Exchange Election, and the Company shall concurrently notify the Designated Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of conversion consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be. Any Notes exchanged by the Designated Institution(s) will remain outstanding, subject to applicable procedures of the Depositary.
