Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary, or such nominee, as the case may be, or (B) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the Applicable Procedures or the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
None of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the Securities, for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests, or for any acts or omissions of a Depositary or for any transactions between a Depositary and any beneficial owner or between or among beneficial owners. No owner of a beneficial interest in the Securities shall have any rights under this First Supplemental Indenture, and the Depositary or its nominee, if any, shall be deemed and treated by the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them as the absolute owner and holder of such Securities for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, any Paying Agent or any agent of any of them from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary, or any of its members and any other Person on whose behalf such member may act.
Section 2.02. Authentication. (a) The Trustee shall initially authenticate and make available for delivery Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of up to $55,000,000 (which includes $5,000,000 aggregate principal amount pursuant to the Underwriter’s exercise of its over-allotment option in full) upon receipt of a Company Order. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders, re-open the Securities and issue additional Securities (the “Additional Securities”) with the same terms and with the same CUSIP number as the Securities in an unlimited aggregate principal amount; provided, however that no such Additional Securities may be issued unless fungible with the Securities offered hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Trustee shall authenticate Additional Securities thereafter in unlimited aggregate principal amount (so long as permitted by the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture) for original issue upon a Company Order in aggregate principal amount as specified in such order (except as provided in Section 3.6 of the Base Indenture). Each such Company Order shall specify the amount of Securities to be authenticated and the date on which the Securities are to be authenticated. Such Additional Securities shall have identical terms to the Initial Securities except for adjustments for any differences in issuance dates and prices and with respect to interest accruing prior to their date of issuance, and will constitute the same series as the Initial Securities for all purposes hereunder, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments and offers to purchase.
11
(b) The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in the Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent shall have the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.
The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.
Section 2.03. Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent. The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency in the United States where Securities may be presented for purchase or payment (“Paying Agent”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”), and an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities and this First Supplemental Indenture may be served. The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities (“Register”) and of their transfer and exchange.
The Company may have one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents, and one or more additional conversion agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar, the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent, including any named pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture.
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this First Supplemental Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture that relate to such Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this First Supplemental Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent or agent for service of notices and demands in any place required by this First Supplemental Indenture, or fails to give the foregoing notice, the Trustee shall act as such. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent.
The Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent in connection with the Securities.
Section 2.04. Paying Agent to Hold Money and Securities in Trust. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of payments in respect of, or delivery of Cash or shares of Common Stock, as applicable and as provided herein, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent Cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the due date) or with the Conversion Agent such number of shares of Common Stock or other consideration sufficient to make such payments or deliveries when so becoming due. The Company shall require each Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable (other than the Trustee), to agree in writing that such Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all Cash, Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable, held by such Agent for the making of payments or deliveries in respect of the Securities and shall notify the Trustee in writing of any default by the Company in
12
making any such payment or delivery. If the Company or an Affiliate of the Company acts as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, it shall segregate the Cash, Common Stock and other consideration, as applicable, held by it as Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, and hold it as a separate trust fund.
The Company at any time may require the Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, to pay all Cash, Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable, held by it to the Trustee, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any Default, upon written request to the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable, require such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, as applicable, to pay forthwith to the Trustee all Cash, Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable, so held in trust by such Paying Agent or Conversion Agent. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, as applicable, shall have no further liability for such Cash, Common Stock or other consideration, as applicable.
Section 2.05. Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each Interest Payment Date, and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list of the names and addresses of the Holders in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably request.
Section 2.06. Transfer and Exchange. (a) Subject to compliance with any applicable additional requirements contained in Section 3.5 of the Base Indenture, when a Security is presented to a Registrar with a request to register a transfer thereof or to exchange such Security for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested; provided, however, that every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall, if such Security is a Registered Security, be duly endorsed or accompanied by an assignment form, in the form included in Exhibit A attached hereto and, if applicable, a transfer certificate, in the form included in Exhibit A attached hereto, and in form reasonably satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing. To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, upon surrender of any Security for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained pursuant to Section 2.03, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate Securities of a like aggregate principal amount at the Registrar’s request. Any exchange or transfer shall be without charge, except that the Company or the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.9 of the Base Indenture or Section 9.05, Article 3 or Article 4 of this First Supplemental Indenture, in each case, not involving any transfer.
Neither the Company, any Registrar nor the Trustee shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Securities or portions thereof in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and not validly withdrawn by the Holder thereof (except, in the case of the purchase of a Security in part, the portion thereof not to be purchased).
13
All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt and entitled to the same benefits under this First Supplemental Indenture as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
(b) Any Registrar appointed pursuant to Section 2.03 of this First Supplemental Indenture or Section 10.2 of the Base Indenture shall provide to the Trustee such information as the Trustee may reasonably request in connection with the delivery by such Registrar of Securities upon transfer or exchange of Securities.
The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this First Supplemental Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Agent Members or other beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such opinions of counsel, certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this First Supplemental Indenture (including if so requested by the Company exercising a right to require the delivery of such items), and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
Any Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only through a book-entry system maintained by the Depositary (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in a Global Security shall be required to be reflected in a book-entry system.
Section 2.07. Cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Holder has converted pursuant to Article 4.
All Securities that are purchased pursuant to Article 3 or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a repurchase or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.
Section 2.08. Ranking. The obligations of the Company arising under or in connection with this First Supplemental Indenture and every outstanding Security issued under this First Supplemental Indenture from time to time constitute and shall constitute an unsecured general obligation of the Company, ranking equal in right of payment to all senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all subordinated debt.
Section 2.09. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name such Security is registered, which shall initially be the Depositary, as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, Fundamental Change Purchase Price and interest on the Security, for the purpose of receiving Common Stock or Cash and for all other purposes, including without limitation, for purposes of giving notices hereunder, whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and none of the
14
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this First Supplemental Indenture or the Securities.
ARTICLE 3
REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS
Section 3.01. Purchase of Securities at Option of the Holder upon a Fundamental Change. (a) In the event a Fundamental Change shall occur at any time when any Securities remain outstanding, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase all of such Holders’ Securities or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof on a date specified by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) that is not less than 15 nor more than 30 Business Days after the date the Company mails the Fundamental Change Company Notice pursuant to Section 3.01(b), at a purchase price in Cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities tendered for purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”), subject to satisfaction by or on behalf of any Holder of the requirements set forth in Section 3.01(c). No Securities may be purchased at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default other than an Event of Default that is cured by the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities.
A “Fundamental Change” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(i) a “person” or “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act becomes the direct or indirect “beneficial owner,” as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, of shares of the Common Stock representing more than 50% of the voting power of the Common Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors and (A) files a Schedule 13D or Schedule TO or any other schedule, form or report under the Exchange Act disclosing such beneficial ownership or (B) the Company otherwise becomes aware of any such person or group; or
(ii) the Common Stock into which the Securities are then convertible ceases to be listed for trading on the NYSE, Nasdaq or another national securities exchange and is not then quoted on an established automated over-the-counter trading market in the United States;
(iii) the first day on which a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors does not consist of continuing directors; or
15
(iv) a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, or any conveyance, transfer, sale, lease or other disposition in a single transaction or a series of transactions of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets other than:
(A) any transaction:
(1) that does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock; and
(2) pursuant to which holders of the Company’s capital stock immediately prior to the transaction have the entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of directors of the continuing or surviving or successor Person immediately after giving effect to such transaction in substantially the same proportion as their entitlement to exercise, directly or indirectly, voting power of shares of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote generally in elections of the Company’s directors immediately prior to such transaction; or
(B) any transaction that is effected solely for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation and resulting in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common Stock, if at all, solely into shares of common stock of the surviving entity or a direct or indirect parent of the surviving corporation.
(v) the Company’s shareholders approve any plan or proposal for the Company’s liquidation or dissolution.
A “Make-Whole Fundamental Change” shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change described in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) or (v) above.
For purposes of this Section 3.01:
(I) “board of directors” means the board of directors or other governing body charged with the ultimate management of any person;
(II) “continuing director” means a director who either was a member of the Company’s board of directors on the date of the Prospectus, or who becomes a member of the board of directors subsequent to that date and whose election, appointment or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders is duly approved by a majority of the continuing directors on the Company’s board of directors at the time of such approval, either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement issued by the Company on behalf of the Company’s entire board of directors in which such individual is named as a nominee for director; and
16
(III) “person” includes any syndicate or group that would be deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act.
(b) Notices of Fundamental Change.
(i) Within 10 days after the public announcement of any event constituting a Fundamental Change, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of such event and shall mail a written notice of the Fundamental Change to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) in accordance with Section 1.04. The notice shall state:
(A) the events causing such Fundamental Change, the Adjustment Date of the Fundamental Change (in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change) and the anticipated date of effectiveness of such Fundamental Change;
(B) that the Holder will have a right to require the Company to purchase the Holder’s Securities if such Fundamental Change is consummated; and
(C) in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, that no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate if the Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not consummated and that payment of any Additional Shares associated with Securities surrendered for conversion in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change will occur no earlier than the date of effectiveness of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(ii) Within 10 days after the effective date of each Fundamental Change, the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and shall mail a written notice of the Fundamental Change (each such notice a “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) to each Holder (and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law) in accordance with Section 1.04. The notice shall include the form of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice to be completed by the Holder and shall state, as applicable:
(A) the events causing such Fundamental Change, the adjustment date of the Fundamental Change (in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change) and the date of effectiveness of such Fundamental Change;
(B) that the Holder has a right to require the Company to purchase the Holder’s Securities;
(C) the date by which the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must be delivered to the Paying Agent in order for a Holder to exercise the Fundamental Change purchase right;
(D) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;
(E) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
17
(F) the procedures that the Holder must follow to exercise its Fundamental Change purchase right under this Section 3.01;
(G) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(H) that the Securities must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
(I) that the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for any Security as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been duly given and not withdrawn shall be paid promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date and the time of surrender of such Security;
(J) the Conversion Rate (after giving effect to any change in the Conversion Rate that resulted from the Fundamental Change);
(K) that the Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given may be converted pursuant to Article 4 of this First Supplemental Indenture only if either (i) the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this First Supplemental Indenture or (ii) there shall be a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
(L) the procedures for withdrawing a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice;
(M) that, unless the Company defaults in making payment of such Fundamental Change Purchase Price, interest on Securities surrendered for purchase by the Company shall cease to accrue on and after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date; and
(N) the CUSIP number(s) of the Securities.
If any of the Securities are in the form of a Global Security, then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to accord with the Applicable Procedures for repurchases.
At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the Fundamental Change Company Notice on behalf of the Company and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company makes such request at least three Business Days (unless a shorter period shall be consented to by the Trustee) prior to the date by which such Fundamental Change Company Notice must be given to the Holders in accordance with this Section 3.01(b); provided, further, however, that the text of such notice shall be prepared by the Company.
(c) Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Holder may exercise its right specified in Section 3.01(a) upon delivery of a written notice (which shall be in substantially the form included in Exhibit A hereto and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand
18
delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) of the exercise of such rights (a “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) to and such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must be received by the Paying Agent no later than the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice must state:
(i) if Registered Securities are to be delivered, the certificate numbers of the Securities that the Holder shall deliver to be purchased;
(ii) the portion of the principal amount of the Securities that the Holder shall deliver to be purchased, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iii) that such Securities are being tendered for and shall be purchased by the Company on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in this First Supplemental Indenture.
The book-entry transfer or delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent (together with all necessary endorsements) at the office of the Paying Agent shall be a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price; provided, however, that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid pursuant to this Section 3.01 only if the Security so transferred by book-entry or delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
The Company shall purchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.01, a portion of a Security if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions of this Section 3.01 that apply to the purchase of all of a Security also apply to the purchase of such a portion of such Security.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.01(c) shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 3.02(b).
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notices or written notices of withdrawal thereof.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of Global Securities, any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be delivered or withdrawn, and such Securities may be surrendered or transferred by book-entry or delivered for purchase, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
Section 3.02. Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. (a) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental
19
Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Security. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided such Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 3.01(c) with respect to such Security) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01(c). A Security in respect of which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted pursuant to Article 4 hereof on or after the date of the delivery of such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, unless either (i) such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.02(b); or (ii) there shall be a default in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, provided, that the conversion right with respect to such Security shall terminate at the Close of Business on the date such default is cured and such Security is purchased in accordance herewith.
(b) A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn by any Holder delivering such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice upon delivery of a written notice of withdrawal (which may be delivered by mail, overnight courier, hand delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by other means in accordance with the Applicable Procedures) to and such notice of withdrawal must be received by the Paying Agent at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:
(i) if Registered Securities are to be withdrawn, the certificate numbers of the Securities in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
(ii) the principal amount of the Securities in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, which principal amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of the Securities that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Purchase Notice and that has been or shall be delivered for purchase by the Company.
Section 3.03. Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or if the Company or an Affiliate of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04) an amount in Cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date) sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased on that Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
If the Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof, at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, Cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all Securities for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with this First Supplemental Indenture, then, on and after such Fundamental Change
20
Purchase Date, such Securities shall cease to be outstanding and interest (including Additional Interest) on such Securities shall cease to accrue, whether or not such Securities are transferred by book-entry or delivered to the Paying Agent, and the rights of the Holders in respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery of such Securities by their Holders to the Paying Agent).
Section 3.04. Securities Purchased in Part. Any Registered Security that is to be purchased only in part shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Xxxxxx’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and promptly after a Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly), authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of such authorized denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.
Section 3.05. Repayment to the Company. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.03 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, within one day after the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall return any such excess Cash to the Company.
Section 3.06. Compliance with Securities Laws upon Purchase of Securities. When complying with the provisions of Article 3 hereof (provided that such offer or purchase constitutes an “issuer tender offer” for purposes of Rule 13e-4 (which term, as used herein, includes any successor provision thereto) under the Exchange Act at the time of such offer or purchase), and subject to any exemptions available under applicable law, the Company shall:
(a) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable; and
(b) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws so as to permit the rights and obligations in connection with any purchase pursuant to this Article 3 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified herein.
ARTICLE 4
CONVERSION
Section 4.01. Conversion Privilege. The Securities shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and in accordance with and subject to this Article 4 into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, subject to the provisions of Section 4.02 regarding fractional shares, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Securities may be converted only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof.
21
Section 4.02. Conversion Rate. (a) The initial Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Securities to be converted is 76.7448 shares (which is equal to an initial Conversion Price of $13.03 per share), subject to adjustment as described in Section 4.06. The Conversion Rate, including any Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, will not exceed 20.7211 shares (which is equal to a Conversion Price of $10.26 per share); provided, however, that such maximum conversion rate will be appropriately adjusted for Conversion Rate adjustments as described in Section 4.06.
A Holder of a Security otherwise entitled to a fractional share will receive cash in an amount equal to the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date.
A Security for which a Holder has delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice requiring the Company to purchase the Securities may be surrendered for conversion only if such notice is withdrawn in accordance with this First Supplemental Indenture.
(b) If a Holder elects to convert Securities in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then the Conversion Rate of the Securities being converted by such Holder shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) set forth in Exhibit B. For the avoidance of doubt, the increases provided for in this Section 4.02(b) shall only be made with respect to the Securities being converted in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall not be effective as to any Securities not so converted. For purposes of this Section 4.02, a conversion shall be deemed to be “in connection” with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if it occurs during the period that begins on (and includes) the public announcement of an event constituting a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and ends on (and includes) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date relating to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change as set forth in Article 3.
The increase in the Conversion Rate, expressed as a number of Additional Shares to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, will be determined by the Company by reference to the table attached as Exhibit B hereto, based on the earliest of the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change is publicly announced, occurs or becomes effective (the “Adjustment Date”) and the price paid or deemed to be paid per share of Common Stock in the transaction constituting the Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Stock Price”) subject to adjustment as set forth in the next paragraph; provided, however, that if a Holder of the Common Stock receives only Cash in connection with such transaction, the Stock Price shall be the Cash amount paid per share. In all other cases, the Stock Price will be the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but not including the date of effectiveness of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, provided, however, that (i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts on the table or the Adjustment Date is between two Adjustment Dates on the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the earlier and later adjustment dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable; (ii) if the Stock Price is in excess of $80.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price), no increase in the Conversion Rate will be made; and (iii) if the Stock Price is less than $10.26 per share (subject to adjustment as set forth in the next paragraph), no increase in the Conversion Rate will be made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
22
no event will the total number of Additional Shares added to the Conversion Rate as a result of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change exceed 20.7211 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment as described in Section 4.06.
The Stock Prices set forth in the first columns of the table attached as Exhibit B hereto will be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted as described in Section 4.06. The adjusted Stock Prices will equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares will be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 4.06.
If, as set forth in this Section 4.06(b), the Company is required to increase the Conversion Rate by the Additional Shares as a result of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, payment of such Additional Shares associated with Securities surrendered for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change will be settled as follows:
• | if the Conversion Date occurs prior to the date of effectiveness of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, settlement shall occur no later than the third Trading Day immediately following such date of effectiveness; and |
• | if the Conversion Date occurs on or following the date of effectiveness of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, settlement shall occur no later than the third Trading Day immediately following such Conversion Date. |
The Company will settle such conversions by delivering Reference Property equivalent to shares of the Common Stock based on the increased Conversion Rate resulting from such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
For the avoidance of doubt, in the event Securities are surrendered for conversion in connection with an anticipated Make-Whole Fundamental Change and such Make-Whole Fundamental Change does not in fact occur, no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate and no additional Cash or Reference Property will be paid as a result of the related anticipated Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 4.03. Conversion Procedure. (a) The right of conversion attaching to any Security may be exercised at any time during which conversion is permitted in accordance with Section 4.01 (i)(i) if such Security is represented by a Global Security, by book-entry transfer to the Conversion Agent through the facilities of the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, or (ii) if such Security is represented by a Registered Security, by delivery of such Security at the specified office of the Conversion Agent, accompanied, in either case, by: (1) a duly signed and completed conversion notice, in the form as set forth on the reverse of Security attached hereto as Exhibit A (a “Conversion Notice”); (2) if such Registered Security has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, a notice to the Conversion Agent in accordance with Section 3.6 of the Base Indenture regarding the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Security; (3) appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Conversion Agent; and (4) payment of any tax or duty, in accordance with Section 4.04, which may be
23
payable in respect of any transfer involving the issue or delivery of the Common Stock in the name of a Person other than the Holder of the Security. The date on which the Holder satisfies all of those requirements is the “Conversion Date.” The Securities will be deemed to be converted immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Conversion Date. The Company shall deliver the shares to the Holder through a Conversion Agent in the form of a certificate for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or, in the case of holders of Securities in book-entry form with DTC, in accordance with DTC customary practices. In each case, the Company shall also deliver to such holder Cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 4.02(a). The Company shall deliver such shares and Cash as promptly as practicable after the Conversion Date and the completion of the relevant calculations relating to the conversion considerations and, except as set forth in Section 4.02(b), in any event no later than the third Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date.
(b) The person in whose name the Security is registered shall be deemed to be a shareholder of record on the Conversion Date; provided, however, that no surrender of a Security or satisfaction of the other conditions in Section 4.03(a) on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon such conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date, but such surrender shall, provided that all such conditions have been satisfied, be effective to constitute the person or persons entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes at the Close of Business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open. Upon conversion of a Security, such person shall no longer be a Holder of such Security.
(c) The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the full number of shares of Common Stock into which the Security is convertible, together with any Cash payment for such holder’s fractional shares, will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the Security and to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay accrued and unpaid interest (including any Additional Interest) to but not including the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued interest is deemed paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited.
(d) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver to the Holder, a new Security equal in principal amount of the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.
Section 4.04. Taxes on Conversion. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes or duties relating to the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion rights. However, the Holder shall pay any tax or duty which may be payable relating to any transfer involving the issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than the Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may, without obligation, refuse to deliver the certificate representing shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duties which will be due because the shares are to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.
24
Section 4.05. Company to Provide Stock. (a) The Company shall, prior to the issuance of any Securities hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve at all times and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of all of the Securities.
(b) All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be newly issued shares or shares held in the treasury of the Company, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and shall be free of any preemptive rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.
(c) The Company shall comply with all applicable securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of any Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and, if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on the NYSE, Nasdaq or any other United States national or regional securities exchange or other market, shall list or cause to have quoted and keep listed and quoted the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities to the extent permitted or required by the rules of such exchange or market; provided, however, that, if the rules of such automated quotation system or exchange permit the Company to defer the listing of such Common Stock until the first conversion of the Securities into Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, the Company covenants to list such Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with the requirements of such automated quotation system or exchange at such time.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall give to any Holder any rights as a creditor in respect solely of its right to conversion.
Section 4.06. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. This Section 4.06 describes adjustments to the Conversion Rate to be made in connection with the events described below, as well as events that will not result in adjustment of the Conversion Rate, treatment of rights and treatment of Reference Property. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occur, except that the Company will not make any adjustment if Holders of Securities may participate, as a result of holding the Securities, in the transactions described without having to convert their Securities:
(a) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination in respect of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
25
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution, or effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect on and after the Ex Date or effective date; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date or effective date; and | ||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on and after the Ex Date or effective date. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or share combination. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.06(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared.
(b) If the Company, at any time or from time to time while any of the Securities are outstanding, issues to all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock any rights or warrants (other than pursuant to any dividend reinvestment or share purchase plans) entitling them for a period of not more than 45 days from the issuance date thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date for such issuance; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect on and after the Ex Date for such issuance; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such issuance; | ||
X | = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and | ||
Y | = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants. |
26
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Ex Date of such issuance. To the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if the announcement with respect to such rights, warrants or convertible securities had not been made.
In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, and in determining the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than Cash, to be determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.
(c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock shares of any class of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Stock as covered by Section 4.06(a)), evidences of its Indebtedness or other non-cash assets (including shares of capital stock or similar equity interest in or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit), or rights or warrants, but excluding (i) dividends, distributions and rights or warrants covered by Section 4.06(a), Section 4.06(b) or Section 4.06(e) (in each case pursuant to which an adjustment is made) and (ii)to the extent provided in Section 4.08, rights distributed pursuant to a shareholder rights agreement (any of such shares of capital stock, Indebtedness, or other assets or property hereinafter in this Section 4.06(c) called the “Distributed Property”), then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||
CR’ | = | the Conversion Rate in effect on and after the Ex Date for such distribution; |
27
SP0 | = | the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and | ||
FMV | = | the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) of the portion of Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock on the Ex Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Business Day following the Ex Date; provided that if the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Distributed Property so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities upon conversion, the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date fixed for determination for Shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes of this Section 4.06(c) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the Closing Prices of the Common Stock for purposes of calculating SP0 in the formula in this Section 4.06(c).
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.06(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock consisting of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off,” and any such dividend or distribution of Common Stock, shares of capital stock or equity interests being “Spin-Off Securities”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the 15th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the distribution of the Spin-Off Securities shall be increased based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 15th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the distribution of the Spin-Off Securities; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect from and after the Close of Business on the 15th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the distribution of the Spin-Off Securities; |
28
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 Day period commencing on, and including, the fifth Trading Day after the Ex Date for such distribution; and | ||
MP0 | = | the average of the Closing Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the fifth Trading Day after the Ex Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall occur at the Close of Business on the 15th Trading Day from, and including, the Ex Date for the distribution of the Spin-Off Securities; provided, however, that the Company may in lieu of the foregoing adjustment elect to make adequate provision so that each Holder of Securities shall have the right to receive upon conversion thereof the amount of such Spin-Off Securities that such Holder of Securities would have received if such Securities had been converted on the record date with respect to such distribution.
Rights or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or convert into shares of the Company’s capital stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (x) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (y) are not exercisable; and (z) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 4.06(c), (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.06(c), will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 4.06(c). If any such right or warrant, including any such existing rights or warrants distributed prior to the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and record date with respect to new rights or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.06(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights or warrants had not been issued.
29
For purposes of this Section 4.06(c), Section 4.06(a) and Section 4.06(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.06(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 4.06(a) or 4.06(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of Indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to which Section 4.06(a) or 4.06(b) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 4.06(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights or warrants to which Section 4.06(a) or 4.06(b) applies (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.06(a) or 4.06(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted for “the Ex Date,” “the Ex Date or effective date,” “the day following the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such share split or share combination” and “the Ex Date for such issuance” within the meaning of Section 4.06(a) and Section 4.06(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date or effective date” within the meaning of Section 4.06(a).
(d) If a cash dividend or distribution is made to all holders of Common Stock (other than (i) in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (ii) distributions described in Section (e)), the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect at the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect on and after the Ex Date for such distribution; | ||
SP0 | = | the average Closing Price of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; and | ||
C | = | the amount in cash per share the Company dividends or distributes to holders of Common Stock. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Close of Business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock is equal to or greater than SP0 as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive, for each $1,000 principal amount upon conversion, the amount of cash such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal
30
to the Conversion Rate on the Ex Date. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 4.06(d), in the event of any reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Securities become convertible into more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 4.06(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Closing Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Securities are then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a distribution of cash or other consideration in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for all or any portion of the Common Stock, in which such cash and the and the value of any such other consideration included in the distribution per share of Common Stock validly tendered or exchanged exceeds the Current Market Price of the Common Stock on the 10th Trading Day immediately following the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (as it may be amended), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Close of Business on the expiration date; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect on and after the effective date of the adjustment; | ||
AC | = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) distributed (or to be distributed) for shares purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time such tender or exchange offer expires (including shares validly tendered and not withdrawn in connection with the tender or exchange offer but excluding shares held in treasury); | ||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last time tenders or exchanges could have been made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (excluding any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the tender or exchange offer or shares held in treasury); and | ||
SP' | = | the Current Market Price. |
31
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 4.06(e) shall retroactively occur immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex Date.
If the Company or a Subsidiary is obligated to repurchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had only been made in respect of the purchases that had been effected. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) with respect to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section 4.06(e). If an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 4.06(e) during any settlement period in respect of Securities that have been tendered for conversion, delivery of the related conversion consideration will be delayed to the extent necessary in order to complete the calculations provided for in this Section 4.06(e).
(f) For purposes of this Section 4.06 the term “record date” shall mean, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of shareholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
(g) If application of the formulas provided in Sections 4.06(a), 4.06(b), 4.06(c), 4.06(d) or 4.06(e) would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made except in the case of a share split or combination of the Common Stock.
(h) In any case in which this Section 4.06 shall require that an adjustment be made following a record date, Ex Date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, established for purposes of this Section 4.06, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Trustee of the certificate described in Section 4.11) issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record date, Ex Date, effective date or expiration date the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets or rights or warrants issuable upon such conversion over and above Cash payable, or the shares of Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets or rights or warrants issuable, upon such conversion only on the basis of the Conversion Rate prior to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares, evidences of indebtedness or other non-Cash assets or rights or warrants the issuance of which, or Cash the payment of which, is so deferred, the Company shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due bills or other appropriate evidence prepared by the Company of the right to receive such shares or Cash, as the case may be. If any distribution in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required to be made as of the record
32
date, Ex Date, effective date or expiration date therefor is not thereafter made or paid by the Company for any reason, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed or such Ex Date, effective date or expiration date had not occurred.
(i) If one or more events occur requiring an adjustment be made to the Conversion Rate for a particular period, adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors to reflect the combined impact of such Conversion Rate adjustments, as set out in this Section 4.06, during such period.
Section 4.07. No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless the adjustment would result in a change in the Conversion Rate of at least 1.00%; provided, however, that any adjustment which by reason of this Section 4.07 is not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in subsequent adjustments and in connection with any conversion of Securities; provided, further, however, that adjustments not otherwise made by reason of this Section 4.07 will be made (i) upon conversion of any Securities, (ii) upon a repurchase of the Securities pursuant to Article 3 and (iii) 25 Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date. All calculations under this Article 4 shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share, as the case may be.
No adjustment in the Conversion Rate or the Incremental Share Factor need be made for (i) issuances of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities or the investment of additional optional amounts thereunder in shares of Common Stock, (ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described under (ii) above and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued, (iv) a change in the par value of the Common Stock or (v) accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any.
No adjustment to the Conversion Rate need be made pursuant to Section 4.06 for a transaction if Holders are permitted to participate in the transaction without conversion on a basis and with notice that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, if a distribution occurs that would generally result in adjustment of the number of shares deliverable to Holders of the Securities as a portion of conversion consideration to which such Holders are entitled, instead of making that adjustment, the Company may instead deem such Holders to be Holders of record for purposes of that distribution so that such Holders would receive the distribution at the time they receive the conversion consideration.
Whenever a provision of the Indenture requires the calculation of an average of the Closing Price over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring
33
an adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period from which the average is to be calculated.
Section 4.08. Shareholder Rights Agreements. Upon conversion of the Securities, the Holders shall receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, any associated rights issued under any future shareholder rights agreement the Company adopts that provides that each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities at any time prior to the distribution of separate certificates representing such rights will be entitled to receive such rights unless, prior to conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, expired, terminated or been redeemed or exchanged in accordance with such rights plan, and no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.06. If the rights have separated from the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of capital stock, evidences of Indebtedness or assets as described in Section 4.06(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 4.09. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale on Conversion Privilege. If (1) there shall occur (a) any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or a change as a result of a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock); (b) a statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company; or (c) a sale or conveyance as an entirety or substantially as an entirety of the property and assets of the Company, directly or indirectly, to another Person; and (2) pursuant to such reclassification, statutory share exchange, consolidation, merger, combination, sale or conveyance, holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock would be entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including Cash or any combination thereof) for such shares of Common Stock (any such event a “Merger Event”), then the Company, or such successor or surviving, purchasing or transferee Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such Merger Event, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company and at least one other Officer of the Company and providing that, at the effective time of the Merger Event, the right to convert a Security will be changed into a right to convert it into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including Cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) upon such transaction (assuming for such purposes that such conversion were settled entirely in Common Stock and without giving effect to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change) immediately prior to such Merger Event, except that such Holders will not be entitled to an increase in the Conversion Rate if such Holder does not convert its Securities “in connection with” the relevant Fundamental Change. If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), the Reference Property into which the Securities will be convertible will 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. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Securities to
34
convert its Securities in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4 prior to the effective date of such Merger Event. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article 4. The provisions of this Section 4.09 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 4.10. Other Adjustments. Subject to applicable stock exchange rules and listing standards, the Company shall be entitled to increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the best interests in the Company, provided the Company has given to Holders at least 15 days’ prior notice, in accordance with Section 1.04, of any such increase in the Conversion Rate.

Section 7.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in clauses (h) or (i) of Section 7.01) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, declare all unpaid principal of, plus interest (including Additional Interest, if any) accrued and unpaid through the date of such declaration on, all the Securities then outstanding to be due and payable upon any such declaration, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable.

Company so elects, such Additional Interest will be payable on all outstanding Securities on or before the date on which the Event of Default first occurs in the case of the first extension period and on or before the 120th day after such Event of Default first occurs in the case of the second extension period. On the 121st day after such Event of Default (if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 121st day and if the Additional Interest relating to the second extension period is not paid on or before such date) or on the 211th day after such Event of Default (if the Additional Interest relating to the second extension period was paid and the Event of Default relating to failure to comply with Reporting Obligations is not cured or waived prior to such 211th day), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided above. The provisions set forth in this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Securities in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest in accordance with this paragraph, the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided above. In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy in respect of the first 210 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to failure to comply with the Reporting Obligations, the Company must (i) notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of such election and (ii) pay all such Additional Interest as described above, in the case of the first extension period, on or before the close of business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs and, in the case of the second extension period, on or before the 120th day after such Event of Default first occurs. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice or pay the Additional Interest, the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided above.
Section 7.04. Waiver of Defaults and Events of Default. Subject to Section 7.07 and 9.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing or future Default or Event of Default and its consequences, except a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or any interest (including Additional Interest, if any) on any Security, or the payment of any applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Price, or a failure by the Company to deliver shares of Common Stock (and Cash in lieu of any fractional shares) upon conversion in accordance with Article 4 or any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this First Supplemental Indenture or the Securities that, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. This Section 7.04 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(B) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this First Supplemental Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.
Section 7.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it under this First Supplemental Indenture. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this First Supplemental Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of another Holder or the Trustee, or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. This Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of Section 316(a)(1)(A) of the Trust Indenture Act and such Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this First Supplemental Indenture, as permitted by the Trust Indenture Act.

Section 7.09. Priorities. Any money or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 7, and after an Event of Default, any money or other property distributable in respect of the Company’s obligations under this First Supplemental Indenture shall be paid out in the following order:

Third, the balance, if any, to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 7.09. At least 15 days before such record date, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder and the Company a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

This Section 7.10 does not apply to a suit made by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 7.07, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding.
Section 7.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 7 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due February 15, 2013 (the “Securities”) of the Company issued under a first supplemental indenture, dated as of February 12, 2008 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), supplemental to the indenture, dated as of February 12, 2008 (the “Base Indenture,” and together with the Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). The terms of the Security include those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), and those set forth in this Security. This Security is subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any provision of this Security conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated.

Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, the most recent date to which interest has been paid or provided for or, if no interest has been paid, from, and including, February 12, 2008, in each case to, but excluding, the next Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

The Holder must surrender this Security to a Paying Agent to collect payment of principal. Payment of interest on Registered Securities shall be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address appears in the Register; provided, however, that Holders with Securities in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $5.0 million shall be paid, at their written election, by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

6
directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as part of the consideration for the issuance of the Securities.
