RECITALS OF THE COMPANY
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee are parties to that certain Indenture, dated as of March 28, 2018 (the “Indenture”), pursuant to which the Company issued its 0.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Notes”);
WHEREAS, the Company is a party to that certain
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 24, 2022, by and among the Company, Zoro BidCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Zoro Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) (such agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Merger Agreement, each share of Common Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (a “Share”) (other than treasury shares, shares
owned by the Parent or its wholly owned subsidiaries and dissenting shares), will be converted into and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive
$77.50 in cash per Share (the “Merger Consideration”);
WHEREAS, the Merger Consideration is to be paid to each holder of Shares without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding taxes;
WHEREAS, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving entity (the “Merger”), has been consummated on the date hereof in accordance with the Merger Agreement, substantially concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture;
WHEREAS, the Merger constitutes a Fundamental Change and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change;
WHEREAS, in connection with the foregoing, Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture provides that the Company shall execute
with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01 of the Indenture providing that the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the
Conversion Value (as defined below); and
WHEREAS, all conditions for the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Indenture have been complied with or have
been done or performed.
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE WITNESSETH:
In consideration of the foregoing and for other good
and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee agree as follows for the benefit of each other and for the equal and ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes:
ARTICLE 1
Definitions
Section 1.01. General. Capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
ARTICLE 2
Agreements of Parties
Section 2.01 Conversion of Notes. In
accordance with Section 14.07 of the Indenture and the Officers’ Certificate, dated November 22, 2022, from and after the date of this Supplemental Indenture, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes will be changed to a right to
convert such principal amount of Notes 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 the Merger (the “Conversion Value”), which shall be cash equal to $1,228.7935 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes based on a Conversion Rate of
15.8554. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders that elect to convert their Notes at any time from November 22, 2022 (being the effective date of the Merger) until the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the Fundamental
Change Repurchase Date (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”) to be specified in a Fundamental Change Company Notice to be delivered in connection with the Merger, shall be
entitled to receive cash equal to $1,247.874 per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes based on an increased Conversion Rate of 16.1016, as adjusted in accordance with Section 14.03 of the Indenture as a result of the Merger which constitutes
a Fundamental Change and a Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Make-Whole Conversion Value”). Accordingly, any reference in respect of a holders’ conversion rights to a share of
Common Stock in the Indenture shall be deemed a reference to a right to receive a cash amount equal to $77.50 and the provisions of the Indenture, as modified herein, shall continue to apply, mutatis mutandis, to the holders’ right to convert the Notes into the Conversion Value or the Make-Whole Conversion Value, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, holders will not have the right to convert Notes
into shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company.
