Any Defaulted Interest shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Noteholder on the relevant
Interest Record Date by virtue of its having been such Noteholder, and such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of
business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed
payment (which shall be not less than twenty-five days after the receipt by the Trustee of
such notice, unless the Trustee shall consent to an earlier date), and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to
be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as
in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than fifteen days and not less
than ten days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than ten days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment (unless the Trustee shall
consent to an earlier date). The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such special
record date and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each holder at its address as it
appears in the Note Register, not less than ten days prior to such special record date.
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date
therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of
business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following clause (2) of this Section 2.03.
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system.

continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any
court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in
each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 3.01(h) with respect
to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or a group
of Subsidiaries of the Company that in aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the
Company), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable (or
waived), either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
Noteholders), may declare 100% of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and
unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon
any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Notes contained to the contrary notwithstanding.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 3.01(h) with respect to the Company (and not solely
with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company, or a group of Subsidiaries of the Company
that in aggregate would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is
continuing, the principal of all the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid
Additional Interest, if any, shall be immediately due and payable. This provision, however, is
subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so
declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall
have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with
the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and
unpaid Additional Interest, if any, upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that
shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of
accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any (to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law), and on such principal at the rate
borne by the Notes at such time) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06 of the
Base Indenture, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all
Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes (other than a Default or an Event of
Default resulting from a failure to repurchase any Notes when required upon a Fundamental Change or
a failure to deliver, upon conversion, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and
shares of Common Stock, as applicable, due upon conversion) and rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences (other than a declaration or consequences, as the case may be, resulting from
a failure to repurchase any Notes when required upon a Fundamental Change or a failure to deliver,
upon conversion, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock,
as applicable, due upon conversion) and such Default (other than a Default resulting from a failure
to repurchase any Notes when required upon a Fundamental Change or a failure to deliver, upon
conversion, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as
applicable, due upon conversion) shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
(other than a
Default resulting from a failure to repurchase any Notes when required upon a Fundamental Change or
a failure to deliver, upon conversion, cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and
shares of Common Stock, as applicable, due upon conversion) shall be deemed to have been cured for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or
shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent
thereon.
Section 3.03. Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes
to the contrary, if the Company so elects, the sole remedy of Noteholders for an Event of Default
relating to any obligation to file reports as required under Section 7.03 of the Base Indenture
shall, for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default which will be the
90th day after written notice is provided to the Company in accordance with Section 3.01(c)),
consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate
equal to (x) 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the first 90 days an Event
of Default is continuing in such 180-day period and (y) 0.50% of the outstanding principal amount
of the Notes for the remaining 90 days an Event of Default is continuing in such 180-day period.
Additional Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following the
occurrence of such Event of Default in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes. The
Company may elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy under this Section 3.03 by giving
notice to the holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent of such election on or before the close of
business on the 5th Business Day after the date on which such Event of Default otherwise would
occur. If the Company fails to timely give such notice or pay Additional Interest, the Notes will
be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 3.02. On the 181st day after such
Event of Default (if such violation is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), the Notes will
be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 3.02. This Section 3.03 shall not affect the
rights of the Noteholders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. In the
event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest upon an Event of Default in accordance
with this Section, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 3.02. Whenever
in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on, or in respect of,
any Note, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of “Additional Interest”
provided for in this Section 3.03 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Interest is, was
or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of such sections, and express
mention of the payment of Additional Interest (if applicable) in any provision shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Interest in those provisions where such express mention is not
made.
Section 3.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default under
clause (a) or (b) of Section 3.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the holders of the Notes, the whole amount
then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest and Additional Interest, if any, with
interest on any overdue principal, interest and Additional Interest, if any, at the rate borne by
the Notes at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture. If the Company
shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so
due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the monies adjudged or decreed
to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes,
wherever situated.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the
Company or any other obligor on the Notes under the Bankruptcy Law, or in case a receiver, assignee
or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have
been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the
Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the
Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or
such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.04, shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim
or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid
Additional Interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may
deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel) and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any
other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and
receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute
the same after the deduction of any amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06 of the Base
Indenture; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,
custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Noteholders to make such payments
to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Noteholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agent’s and counsel fees,
and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture,
incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable
compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall
be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out
of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the holders of
the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan
of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Noteholder or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may
be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at
any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of
the holders of the Notes.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of
any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to
represent all the holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any holders of the
Notes parties to any such proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and
annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and
in every such case the Company, the Noteholders, and the Trustee shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights
hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Noteholders, and the Trustee
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 3.05. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Any monies collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article 3 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the order following, at
the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of
the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender
thereof, if fully paid:
First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.06 of the Base Indenture;
Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be
unpaid, to the payment of interest on the Notes, including Additional Interest, if any, in default
in the order of the date due of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent
that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at
the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled
thereto;
Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or
otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount including the payment of the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the cash component of the Conversion Obligation, if any,
then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, including Additional Interest, if
any, with interest on the overdue principal and (to the extent that such interest has been
collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at
such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due
and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the
payment of such principal and interest without preference or
priority of principal over interest,
or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of
interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and
accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any; and
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 3.06. Proceedings by Noteholders. No holder of any Note shall have any right by
virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the
appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written
notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its
own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or
thereby, and the Trustee for sixty days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no
direction that, in the opinion of the Trustee, is inconsistent with such written request shall have
been given to the Trustee by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding
within such sixty-day period pursuant to Section 3.09; it being understood and intended, and being
expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Note with every other taker and holder and
the Trustee that no one or more Noteholders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue
of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other Noteholder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such
holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for
the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Noteholders (except as otherwise provided herein).
For the protection and enforcement of this Section 3.06, each and every Noteholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of
any Noteholder to receive payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price upon repurchase pursuant to Section 6.02), and accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and
unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or
provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such Noteholder.
Anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, the holder of any Note,
without the consent of either the Trustee or the holder of any other Note, in its own behalf and
for its own benefit, may enforce, and may institute and maintain any proceeding suitable to
enforce, its rights of conversion as provided herein.
Section 3.07. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either
by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the
specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.
Section 3.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in Section 3.06 of the
Base Indenture and Section 3.04, all powers and remedies given by this Article 3 to the Trustee or
to the Noteholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of
any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the
Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the
covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of
Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such
Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 3.06, every power
and remedy given by this Article 3 or by law to the Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Noteholders.
Section 3.09. Direction of Proceedings and Xxxxxx of Defaults by Majority of Noteholders. The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding shall have
the right to 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 the Trustee with respect to
Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or
with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder or that would involve the
Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive any past
Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of
accrued and unpaid interest or accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on, or the principal
(including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured
pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to deliver cash, shares
of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, upon conversion
of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 4
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected.
Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Notes shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or
Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 3.09, said Default
or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been
cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 3.10. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence
and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, mail to all
Noteholders as the names and addresses of such holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all
Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived
before the giving of such notice; and provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment
of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest or accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any,
on any of the Notes, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing any Default in the
payment of
any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, then in any such event the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a committee of Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the
Noteholders.
Section 3.11. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder
of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may,
in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith
of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section
3.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10%
in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any
Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of accrued and unpaid interest or
accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to the Notes being repurchased as provided in this
Indenture) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the
enforcement of the right to convert any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 5.

(i) make any change in this Article 4 that requires each holder’s consent or in the waiver
provisions in Section 3.01 or Section 3.09; or
(j) reduce any quorum requirements or the voting requirements contained in the Indenture.
in each case without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note affected.
Upon the written request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the
consent of Noteholders as aforesaid and subject to Section 4.05, the Trustee shall join with the
Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental
indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Noteholders under this Section 4.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof. After an amendment under this Indenture becomes effective,
the Company shall mail to the holders a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the
failure to give such notice to all the holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or
affect the validity of the amendment.
Section 4.03. Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Any supplemental indenture executed pursuant
to the provisions of this Article 4 shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect;
provided that this Section 4.03 shall not require such supplemental indenture to be qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act prior to the time such qualification is in fact required under the terms of
the Trust Indenture Act or this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, nor
shall any such qualification constitute any admission or acknowledgment by any party to such
supplemental indenture that any such qualification is required prior to the time such qualification
is in fact required under the terms of the Trust Indenture Act or this Indenture has been qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 4, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in
accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Noteholders shall thereafter be
determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and
amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be
deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 4.04. Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 4 may, at the Company’s expense,
bear a notation as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall
so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s
expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee or Authenticating
Agent and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then
outstanding.
Section 4.05. Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee. In
addition to the documents required by Section 1.02 of the Base Indenture, the Trustee shall receive
an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (each as defined in Section 1.01 of the Base
Indenture) as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies
with the requirements of this Article 4 and is permitted or authorized by the Indenture.
ARTICLE 5
CONVERSION OF NOTES
CONVERSION OF NOTES
Section 5.01. Conversion Privilege.
(a) Upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 5, a Noteholder shall have the right,
at such holder’s option, to convert all or any portion (if the portion to be converted is $1,000
principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of such Note prior to the close of business on
the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an
initial conversion rate (the “Conversion Rate”) of 30.4706 shares of Common Stock (subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 5.04 of this Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes
(subject to the settlement provisions of Section 5.02, the “Conversion Obligation”).
Section 5.02. Conversion Procedure.
(a) [Reserved]
(b) Subject to this Section 5.02, upon any conversion of any Note, the Company shall deliver
to converting Noteholders, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted,
solely cash, solely shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and Common Stock (the
“Settlement Amount”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 5.02.
(i) All conversions on or after December 15, 2011 will be settled using the same
Settlement Method.
(ii) Prior to December 15, 2011, the Company will elect (or be deemed to have elected)
the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on any given Conversion Date.
Except for any conversions that occur on or after December 15, 2011, the Company need not
elect the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Trading
Days.
(iii) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or the period beginning on, and including,
December 15, 2011 and ending on, and including, the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately
preceding the Maturity Date, as the case may be), the Company elects to deliver a notice
(the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion
Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company, through the Trustee, shall deliver
such Settlement Notice to converting Noteholders no later than the second Business Day
immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. Such Settlement Notice shall specify
whether the Company shall satisfy its Conversion Obligation by (A) delivering solely shares
of Common Stock, (B) paying solely cash or (C) paying and delivering, as the case may be, a
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. In the case of an election to pay and
deliver, as the case may be, a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock,
the relevant
Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount. If the Company does not
deliver a Settlement Notice, the Company will be deemed to have elected to deliver a
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of its Conversion Obligation, and
the Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be equal to $1,000. If the Company delivers
a Settlement Notice electing to pay and deliver, as the case may be, a combination of cash
and shares of Common Stock in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a
Specified Dollar Amount in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount shall be
deemed to be equal to $1,000.
(iv) The Settlement Amount in respect of any conversion of Notes shall be computed as
follows:
(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of
such conversion by delivering solely Common Stock, the Company will deliver to the
converting Noteholder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (1)(i) the
aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by (ii) $1,000,
multiplied by (2) the then-applicable Conversion Rate;
(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of
such conversion by paying solely cash, the Company shall pay to the converting
Noteholder, cash in an amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted
equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the forty consecutive
Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period; and
(C) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of
such conversion by paying and delivering, as the case may be, a combination of cash
and shares of Common Stock, if any, the Company shall pay and deliver to the
converting Noteholder, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal
amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily
Settlement Amounts for each of the forty consecutive Trading Days during the related
Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
(v) The Company will also deliver to each converting Noteholder cash in lieu of
fractional shares of Common Stock as set forth pursuant to clause (l) below.
(vi) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if
applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Cash
Settlement Averaging Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement
Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash
deliverable in lieu of fractional shares (if any), the Company shall notify the Trustee and
the Conversion Agent of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the
case may be, and the amount of cash deliverable in lieu of fractional shares of Common
Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no responsibility for any such
determination.
(c) [Reserved]
(d) Before any holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert the same as set forth above, such
holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in
effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to the amount of interest and Additional
Interest, if any, payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as
set forth in Section 5.02(j) and, if required, all transfer or similar taxes, if any, and (ii) in
the case of a Note issued in certificated form, (1) complete and manually sign and deliver an
irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent in the form on the reverse of such certificated Note (or
a facsimile thereof) (Exhibit B hereto) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion
Agent and shall state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name
or names (with addresses) in which such holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any
shares of Common Stock, if any, to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be
registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by
appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if
required, pay funds equal to interest (including additional interest, if any) payable on the next
Interest Payment Date to which such holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 5.02(j), (4) if
required, furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents, and (5) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any as set
forth in Section 5.02(g). The Trustee (and if different, the relevant Conversion Agent) shall
notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 5 on the date of such conversion. No
Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a holder thereof if such
holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such
Notes and not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with
Section 6.03, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Price.
If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the
Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes, if any, that shall be payable upon conversion
shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.
(e) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business
on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the holder has complied with the requirements set forth in
clause (d) of this Section 5.02. The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, such cash
and/or shares of Common Stock on the third Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day
of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period; provided, that if the Company elects to fulfill its
Conversion Obligation solely in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver such Common Stock
on the third Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date; provided, further,
that if prior to the relevant Conversion Date, the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference
Property consisting solely of cash, pursuant to Section 5.06(b), the Company shall pay such cash on
the third Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any information required to calculate the Conversion Obligation is not available as
of the applicable settlement date, the Company will deliver the additional shares of Common Stock
resulting from such adjustment on the third Trading Day after the earliest Trading Day on which
such calculation can be made. If application of the provisions described above would result in
settlement of a conversion during the 10 Trading Days immediately following the Effective Date of a
Fundamental Change, settlement will instead take place on the tenth Trading Day following the
relevant Effective Date. If any shares of Common Stock are due to converting Noteholders, the
Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the Conversion Agent or to such
Noteholder, or such Noteholder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through
the Depositary for the number of
full shares of Common Stock to which such Noteholder shall be
entitled in satisfaction of such Conversion Obligation.
(f) In case any Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the holder of the
Note so surrendered, without charge to such holder, a new Note or Notes in authorized denominations
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Note.
(g) If a holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay all stamp and other
duties, if any, that may be imposed by the United States or any political subdivision thereof or
taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock, if any,
upon the conversion. However, the holder shall pay any such tax that is due because the holder
requests any shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than the holder’s name. The
Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock
being issued in a name other than the holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to
pay any tax that 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 regulations.
(h) Except as provided in Section 5.04, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any
shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article.
(i) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the
direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the
principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any
conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(j) Upon conversion, a Noteholder shall not receive any additional cash payment for accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s
settlement of the Conversion Obligations pursuant to Section 5.02 shall be deemed to satisfy its
obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest and Additional
Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, to, but not including, the Conversion Date shall be
deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Interest Record Date,
holders of such Notes as of the close of business on the Interest Record Date will receive the
interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on such Notes on the corresponding Interest
Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period
from the close of business on any Interest Record Date to the opening of business on the
corresponding Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
interest and Additional Interest, if any, payable on the Notes so converted; provided, however,
that no such payment shall be required (1) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date that is after a Interest Record Date but on or prior to the corresponding Interest
Payment Date, (2) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any, existing at the time of
conversion with respect to such Note or (3) if the Notes are surrendered for conversion after the
close of business on the Interest Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Except as
set forth in this Section 5.02(j), no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued and unpaid
interest and Additional Interest, if any, on converted Notes.
(k) The Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon
conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on
the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation
solely in shares of Common Stock) or the last Trading Day of the related Cash Settlement Averaging
Period (in the case of any other Settlement Method), as the case may be; provided, however, if such
Conversion Date or such last Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period occurs on any date
when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, such occurrence shall not be
effective to constitute the Person or Persons entitled to receive any such shares of Common Stock
due upon conversion as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on such date,
but such occurrence shall 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 Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Noteholder.
(l) For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected to deliver a
combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of its Conversion Obligation, the number
of full shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period and any
fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash. If more than one Note
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares that
shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal
amount of
the Notes (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. The Company shall not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Notes. Instead, the Company shall pay cash in
lieu of fractional shares based on the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company
elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation solely in shares of Common Stock) or based on the Daily
VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period (in the case of any
other Settlement Method).
Section 5.03. Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection
with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.
(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each
Note that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article 5, at any time from, and
including, the effective date (the “Effective Date”) of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change until, and
including, the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the
related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date corresponding to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, or
the fortieth Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change (in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that does not constitute a Fundamental
Change by virtue of the parenthetical in the definition of Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such
period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”), shall be increased to an amount equal to the
Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 5.03, otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to
this Article 5, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment.
As used herein, “Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment” means, with respect to a Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, the amount set forth in the following table that corresponds to the Effective
Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental
Change, all as determined by the Company:

provided, however, that:
(i) if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two
Stock Prices listed in the table above under the row titled “Stock Price,” or if the actual
Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Effective Dates listed
in the table above in the column immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the
Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be
determined by the Company by straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Conversion
Rate Adjustment set forth for such higher and lower Stock Prices, or for such earlier and
later Effective Dates based on a 365 day year, as applicable;
(ii) if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than
$130.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price as provided
in clause (iii) below), or if the actual Stock Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change
is less than $25.74 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Price
as provided in clause (iii) below), then the Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment shall be
equal to zero and this Section 5.03 shall not require the Company to increase the Conversion
Rate with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change;
(iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article 5 (other than solely
pursuant to this Section 5.03), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and
at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, each price set forth in the table
above under the row titled “Stock Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Stock
Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Stock Price as in
effect immediately before such adjustment to such Stock Price and (2) a fraction whose
numerator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the
Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance
with this Article 5, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate;
(iv) [Reserved];
(v) each Make-Whole Conversion Rate Adjustment set forth in the
table above shall be adjusted in the same manner in which, at the same time and
for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant
to Section 5.04; and
(vi) in no event will the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Notes exceed 38.8500 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to
adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.04.
(b) As soon as practicable after the Company determines the anticipated Effective Date of any
proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder, the Trustee and
the Conversion Agent written notice of, and shall issue a press release indicating, and publicly
announce, through a public medium that is customary for such announcements, and publish on the
Company’s website, the anticipated Effective Date of such proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change
and shall use commercially reasonable efforts in time to give such notice fifty Business Days in
advance of such anticipated Effective Date. Each such press release notice, announcement and
publication shall also state that in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the
Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes entitled as
provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated
and the time periods during which Notes must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such
increase). No later than five Business Days after the actual Effective Date of each Make-Whole
Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Noteholder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent
written notice of, and shall issue a press release indicating, and publicly announce, through a
public medium that is customary for such announcements, and publish on the Company’s website, such
Effective Date and the amount by which the Conversion Rate has been so increased.
Nothing in this Section 5.03 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section
5.04 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
Section 5.04. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time
to time by the Company as follows:
(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all
or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or
share combination of the Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the
following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; | ||||
CR | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; |
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and | ||||
OS | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share
combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 5.04(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 be immediately readjusted, effective as of
the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or split or
combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that
would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not
been declared or announced.
(b) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any
rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than sixty days from the record
date for such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per
share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the ten
consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the
declaration date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the
following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||||
CR | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of the Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||||
X | = | the total number of shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and | ||||
Y | = | the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date relating to such distribution of such rights, options or warrants. |
Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are
distributed and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such distribution. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after
the
expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the
Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such
rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of
Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the
Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if
such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not been fixed.
For purposes of this Section 5.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants
entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the
average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the applicable
ten-consecutive-Trading Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by
the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion
thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).
(c) If the Company shall distribute shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness
or other of its assets or property other than (i) dividends or distributions (including share
splits) covered by Section 5.04(a) or Section 5.04(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid
exclusively in cash, and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section
5.04(c) shall apply to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, then, in each such
case the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||||
CR | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. | ||||
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and | ||||
FMV | = | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the
Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or
greater than “SP0” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate
provisions shall be made so that each Noteholder shall have the right to receive on conversion in
respect of each $1,000
principal amount of the Notes held by such holder, in addition to the number of shares of Common
Stock equal to the Conversion Rate, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such holder would
have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate
immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution. If such 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. If the Board of Directors
determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 5.04(c) by reference to the actual or when issued
trading market for any Notes, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same
period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive
Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such
distribution.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.04(c) where there has been a dividend or
other distribution on the Common Stock 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”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off; | ||||
CR | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off; | ||||
FMV0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”), and | ||||
MP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this Section 5.04(c) shall
be made immediately after the opening of business on the day after the last day of the Valuation
Period, but shall become effective as of the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the
Spin-Off. If
the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than ten Trading Days prior to, and
including, the end of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period in respect of any conversion references
within this Section 5.04(c) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced, for purposes of
calculating the affected daily Conversion Rates in respect of that conversion, with such lesser
number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off
to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period. For purposes of
determining the applicable Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading
Days commencing on the Ex-
Dividend Date of any Spin-Off, references in the portion of this Section 5.04(c) related to
Spin-Offs to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as
have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the
Conversion Date for such conversion.
Subject in all respect to Section 5.10, rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to
all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares
of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain
circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or
events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock;
(ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common
Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 5.04 (and no
adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 5.04 will be required) until the occurrence of
the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and 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 5.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing
rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Supplemental Indenture, are
subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable
to purchase different Notes, 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
Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a
termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of
the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of
rights, options 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 5.04 was
made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options 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, options 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, options
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, options and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of this Section 5.04(c), Section 5.04(a), and Section 5.04(b), any dividend or
distribution to which this Section 5.04(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock,
or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section
5.04(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, options or warrants to which Section 5.04(c) applies (and
any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 5.04(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, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate
adjustment required by Section 5.04(a) and Section 5.04(b) with respect to such dividend or
distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution
shall be substituted as “the Ex-Dividend Date,” “the Ex-Dividend Date relating to such distribution
of such rights, options or warrants” and “the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution” within the
meaning of Section 5.04(a) and Section 5.04(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such
dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date
for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination,
as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 5.04(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the
Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution” within the meaning of Section 5.04(b).
In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 5.04(c).
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of its
outstanding Common Stock, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following
formula:
where
CR0 | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||||
CR | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||||
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and | ||||
C | = | the amount in cash per share the Company pays or distributes to holders of its Common Stock. |
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex-Dividend
Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if “C” as set forth above 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 Noteholder shall have the right to receive on the date on which the
relevant cash dividend or distribution is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000
principal amount of Notes, the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned
a number of shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the Record Date for 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 dividend or distribution had not been
declared.
For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.04(d), in the event of any
reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Notes become convertible into more
than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to
this Section 5.04(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Last Reported Sale
Prices 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 Notes 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.
In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 5.04(d).
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or
exchange offer for the Common Stock and if the cash and value of any other consideration included
in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices
of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the
Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to
such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based
on the following formula:
where
CR0 | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; | ||||
CR | = | the applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date; | ||||
AC | = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); |
OS | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Expiration Time (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and | ||||
SP | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. |
Such adjustment under this Section 5.04(e) shall become effective at the opening of business on the
Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date. If the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration
Date is less than ten Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Cash Settlement
Averaging Period in respect of any conversion, references within this Section 5.04(e) to ten
Trading Days shall be deemed replaced, for purposes of calculating the affected daily Conversion
Rates in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from,
and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, and including, the last
Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period. For purposes of determining the applicable
Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days commencing on the Trading
Day next succeeding the Expiration Date, references within this Section 5.04(e) to ten Trading Days
shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and
including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date to, but excluding, the Conversion
Date for such conversion. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such
tender or exchange offer, but the Company is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting
any or all or any portion of such purchases or all 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 been made only in respect of the purchases that had been
effected. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 5.04(e).
(f) The term “Record Date” means, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other
transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock (or other security) have the right to
receive any cash, Notes or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable
security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, Notes or other property, the
date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, Notes or other property
(whether such date is fixed by the Board of Directors or by statute, contract or otherwise).
(g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance
of shares of its Common Stock or any Notes convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its
Common Stock or the right, option or warrant to purchase shares of its Common Stock or such
convertible or exchangeable Notes.
(h) Notwithstanding this Section 5.04 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes,
if any Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective, or any Ex-Dividend Date for any issuance,
dividend or distribution (relating to a required Conversion Rate adjustment) occurs, during the
period beginning on, and including, the open of business on a Conversion Date and ending on, and
including, (x) the close of business on the third Trading Day immediately following the relevant
Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation solely in
shares of Common Stock) or (y) the close of business on the last Trading Day of a related Cash
Settlement Averaging Period (in the case of any other Settlement Method), the Board of Directors
shall make adjustments to the Conversion Rate and the amount of cash or number of shares of Common
Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes, as the case may be, as are necessary or appropriate to
effect the intent of this Section 5.04 and the other provisions of this Article 5 and to avoid
unjust or inequitable results, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.04(h) shall apply in lieu of the adjustment or other
term that would otherwise be applicable.
(i) In addition to those required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 5.04,
and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of the New York
Stock Exchange, the Company from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for
a period of at least twenty Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such
increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, the Company may also (but is not
required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common
Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares
(or rights to acquire shares) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant
to the preceding sentence, the Company shall mail to the holder of each Note at its last address
appearing on the Note Register provided for in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture a notice of the
increase at least fifteen days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and
such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in
effect.
(j) The Company shall not take any action that would result in adjustment of the Conversion
Rate, pursuant to this Article 5, in such a manner as to result in the reduction of the Conversion
Price to less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
(k) The applicable Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any present or
future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s
Notes and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of the Common Stock under
any plan;
(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock or options or rights to
purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant
benefit plan or program of, or assumed by, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option,
warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause
(ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
(iv) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock;
(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if any; or
(vi) for any transactions described in this Section 5.04 if Noteholders participate (as
a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as holders of Common Stock participate)
in such transactions as if such Noteholders held a number shares of Common Stock equal to
the Conversion Rate at the time such adjustment would be required, multiplied by the
principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Noteholder, without having
to convert their Notes.
(l) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 5 shall be made by the
Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000) of a share.
(m) The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless the
adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate. However, the Company
shall carry forward any adjustments that are less than 1% of the Conversion Rate and make such
carried forward adjustment, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%,
(i) upon any conversion of Notes, and (ii) on each of the forty-two Scheduled Trading Days
immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(n) Except as set forth in this Article 5, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate.
(o) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly
file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the
facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any
adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of
which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the
Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted
Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall mail such notice
of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to the holder of each Note at its last address appearing
on the Note Register provided for in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, within ten days of the
effective date of such adjustment. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or
validity of any such adjustment.
(p) If, in respect of any Trading Day within the Cash Settlement Averaging Period for a
converted Note:
(i) shares of Common Stock are deliverable with respect to the Daily Settlement Amount
for such Trading Day in accordance with this Article 5;
(ii) any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under any of clauses
(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 5.04 has not resulted in an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day; and
(iii) the shares of Common Stock the holder of such Note shall receive in respect of
such Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the distribution or transaction giving
rise to such adjustment event because, pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02(k), such shares
were not held by such holder on the record date corresponding to such distribution or
transaction,
then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable with respect to the
Daily Settlement Amount for such Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.
(q) If:
(i) the Company elects to satisfy the Conversion Obligation solely in shares of Common
Stock;
(ii) any event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under any of clauses
(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 5.04 has not resulted in an adjustment to the
Conversion Rate as of the Conversion Date; and
(iii) the shares of Common Stock the holder of such Note shall receive on settlement
are not entitled to participate in the distribution or transaction giving rise to such
adjustment event because, pursuant to the terms of Section 5.02(k), such shares were
not held by such holder on the record date corresponding to such distribution or
transaction,
then the Company will adjust the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable with respect to the
relevant Trading Day to reflect the relevant distribution or transaction.
(r) For purposes of this Section 5.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares
issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
The Company will not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
the treasury of the Company.
(s) In the event that the Company adjusts the conversion rate pursuant to this Section 5.04,
the Company shall notify the Trustee and issue a press release containing the relevant information
(and make such press release available on the Company’s website).
Section 5.05. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive
rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of
Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented
for conversion.
Section 5.06. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale. Upon the occurrence
of (i) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of 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 as a
result of a split, subdivision or combination covered by Section 5.04(a)), (ii) any consolidation,
merger, combination or binding share exchange involving the Company, or (iii) any sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company to any other
Person, in each case as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive
cash, Notes or other property or assets with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock (any
such event a “Merger Event”), then:
(a) the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall
execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust
Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture if such
supplemental indenture is then required to so comply) permitted under Section 4.01(g) as set
forth in this Supplemental Indenture. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for
adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for in this Article 5. If, in the case of any Merger Event, the Reference Property
includes shares of stock or other Notes and assets of a corporation other than the successor
or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, combination, binding share exchange, sale or conveyance, then such
supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain
such additional
provisions to protect the interests of the holders of the Notes as the Board
of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including to
the extent required by the Board of Directors and practicable the provisions providing for
the repurchase rights set forth in Article 6 herein.
In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 5.06,
the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the
reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise
the Reference Property after any such Merger Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto
and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice thereof
to all Noteholders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture
to be mailed to each Noteholder, at its address appearing on the Note Register provided for in this
Indenture, within twenty days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not
affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.02(b), and subject to the provisions of
Section 5.01 and Section 5.03, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, (i) the
right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or
a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock at the Company’s election as set forth in
Section 5.02 will be changed to a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of such Note
into cash, the kind and amount of shares of stock, 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 transaction would have owned or
been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property”) or a combination of cash and Reference
Property at the Company’s election and (ii) the related Conversion Obligation shall be
settled as set forth under clause (c) below.
(c) With respect to each $1,000 principal amount of Notes surrendered for conversion
after the effective date of any such Merger Event, the Company’s Conversion Obligation shall
be settled in cash or units of Reference Property, at the Company’s election, in accordance
with Section 5.02(b) as follows:
(i) (A) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such
conversion by delivering solely Reference Property, the Company shall deliver to the
converting Noteholder a number of units of Reference Property (each such unit comprised of
the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including
cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately
prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive based on the
Weighted Average Consideration) equal to (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be
converted, divided by $1,000, multiplied by (2) the then-applicable Conversion Rate; (B) if
the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by
paying solely cash, the Company shall pay to the converting Noteholder cash in an amount,
per $1,000 principal amount of Notes equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for
each of the forty consecutive Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging
Period, such Daily Conversion Values determined as if the reference to “the Daily VWAP of
the Common Stock” in definition thereof were instead a reference to “the Daily VWAP of a
unit of Reference Property” comprised of the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities
or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of one
share of Common Stock immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been
entitled to receive based on the Weighted Average Consideration; and (C) if the Company
elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation through delivery of a combination of cash and
Reference
Property, the
Company shall deliver in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being
converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of
the forty consecutive Trading Days during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period for such
Note, such Daily Settlement Amounts determined as if the reference to “the Daily VWAP of the
Common Stock” in definition of Daily Conversion Value and Daily Share Amount were instead a
reference to “the Daily VWAP of a unit of Reference Property” comprised of the kind and
amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any
combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to such
Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive based on the Weighted Average
Consideration.
(ii) The Company will deliver the cash in lieu of fractional units of Reference
Property as set forth pursuant to Section 5.02(l) (provided that the amount of such cash
shall be determined as if references in such Section to “the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock”
were instead a reference to “the Daily VWAP of a unit of Reference Property” composed of the
kind and amount of shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash
or any combination thereof) that a holder of one share of Common Stock immediately prior to
such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive based on the Weighted Average
Consideration).
(iii) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and Daily Conversion Values (if
applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Cash
Settlement Averaging Period.
(iv) For purposes of this Section 5.06, the “Weighted Average Consideration” means the
weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the
Common Stock entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or assets with respect
to or in exchange for such Common Stock in any Merger Event who affirmatively make such an
election.
(v) The Company shall notify the holders and the Trustee of the Weighted Average
Consideration as soon as practicable after the Weighted Average Consideration is determined.
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
(e) In the event that the Notes become convertible into Reference Property pursuant to this
Section 5.06, the Company shall notify the Trustee and issue a press release containing the
relevant information (and make such press release available on the Company’s website).
Section 5.07. Certain Covenants.
(a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will
be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof.
(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose
of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental
authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be validly issued upon conversion,
the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
(c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any
national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Company will list and keep listed,
so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any
Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.
Section 5.08. Responsibility of Trustee. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee as the
initial Conversion Agent, which appointment the Trustee accepts and agrees to perform in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time
be under any duty or responsibility to any Noteholder to determine the Conversion Rate (or any
adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any
increase) of the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any
such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental
indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent
(“Conversion Agent”) shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or
amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any Notes, property or cash that may at any time be
issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent
make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall
be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common
Stock or stock certificates or other Notes or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for
the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the
Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the
Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of
any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 5.06
relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or Notes or property (including cash)
receivable by Noteholders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such
Section 5.06 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.02 of the Base Indenture, may accept (without any independent investigation) as
conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying
upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee
prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. The rights,
privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation
its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable
by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent.
Section 5.09. Notice to Noteholders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common
Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 5.04; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to all of the holders of its Common Stock
of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any
other rights, options or warrants; or
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value), or of any consolidation
or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the
Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;
the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and to be mailed to each Noteholder at its
address appearing on the Note Register, provided for in Section 3.05 of the Base Indenture, as
promptly as possible but in any event at least twenty days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such
dividend, distribution or rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date
as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or
rights are to be determined, or (ii) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or
occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their Common Stock for Notes or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of
such dividend, distribution, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding-up.
Section 5.10. Stockholder Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a stockholder
rights plan or other “poison pill” in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common
Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of
rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion
shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such
stockholder rights plan or poison pill, as the same may be amended from time to time. If, however,
prior to the time of conversion, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in
accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights agreement so that the holders
of the Notes would not be entitled to receive any rights in respect of Common Stock, if any,
issuable upon conversion of the Notes, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of
separation as if the Company has distributed to all holders of Common Stock, shares of Capital
Stock of the Company, evidence of indebtedness or assets as provided in Section 5.04(c), subject to
readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 5.11. Exchange in Lieu of Conversion. 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 second Business Day following the relevant Conversion Date, such Notes to a financial
institution designated by the Company (the “Designated Institution”) for exchange in lieu of
conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion for exchange in lieu of
conversion, the Designated Institution must agree to timely deliver, in exchange for such Notes,
the
shares of Common stock and/or cash that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to
Section 5.02 and in respect of which the Company has notified converting Noteholders. If the
Company makes the election provided for in this Section 5.11, the Company shall, by the close of
business on the second Business Day following the relevant Conversion Date as part of its
Settlement Notice, notify the holder surrendering its Notes for conversion that it has made such
election. In addition, the Company shall concurrently notify the Designated Institution of the
Settlement Method (and, if applicable, the Specified Dollar Amount) that Company has elected with
respect to such conversion and the relevant deadline for delivery of the consideration due upon
conversion. Any Notes exchanged by the Designated Institution will remain outstanding.
If the Designated Institution agrees to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely deliver
the related consideration due upon conversion to the Conversion Agent, or if the Designated
Institution does not accept such Notes for exchange, the Company shall, within the time period
specified in Section 5.02(e), convert such Notes into cash and/or shares of Common Stock, as
applicable in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.02.
For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company’s designation of a Designated
Institution pursuant to this Section 5.11 require the Designated Institution to accept any Notes
for exchange.

Section 6.02. Repurchase at Option of Noteholders upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If there
shall occur a Fundamental Change at any time prior to the Maturity Date, then each Noteholder shall
have the right, at such holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such
holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, on
the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than
twenty Business Days and not more than thirty-five Business Days after the date of the Fundamental
Change Company Notice (as defined below) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest, including unpaid Additional Interest, if
any, thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date is after an Interest Record Date
and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, in which case interest accrued to the
Interest Payment Date will be paid to holders of the Notes as of the preceding Interest Record Date
and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price payable to the holder surrendering the Note for
repurchase pursuant to this Article 6 shall be equal to the principal amount of Notes subject to
repurchase and will not include any accrued and unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if
any. Repurchases of Notes under this Section 6.02 shall be made, at the option of the holder
thereof, upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent by a holder of a duly completed notice (the
“Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Note as
Exhibit C thereto on or prior to the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

Fundamental Change Repurchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 6.02 only if
the Note so delivered to the Paying Agent shall conform in all respects to the description
thereof in the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice shall state:
(A) if certificated, the certificate numbers of Notes to be delivered for
repurchase;
(B) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must
be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
(C) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the
applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;
provided, however, that if the Notes are not in certificated form, the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.
Any repurchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall be
consummated by the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price pursuant to Section 6.04(a).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any holder delivering to the Paying Agent the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 6.02 shall have the right to
withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the
close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date in accordance with Section 6.03.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(b) On or before the twentieth calendar day after the occurrence of the effective date of a
Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed to all holders of record of the
Notes and the Trustee a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of, issue a press release
in respect of (and make such press release available on the Company’s website), the occurrence of
the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the
holders arising as a result thereof. Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The Company shall
also deliver a copy of the Fundamental Change Company Notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent
and the Conversion Agent within five Business Days after the effective date of the Fundamental
Change. Simultaneously with the providing of such notice, the Company will also publish a notice
containing the information set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper of
general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or
through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. Each Fundamental Change
Company Notice shall specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the effective date of the Fundamental Change, and whether the Fundamental Change
is a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, in which case the Effective Date of the Make-Whole
Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to
this Article 6;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
(vi) if applicable, the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
(vii) if applicable, the applicable Conversion Rate, and any adjustments to the
applicable Conversion Rate;
(viii) if applicable, that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change
Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a holder may be converted only if the holder
withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture;
(ix) that the holder must exercise the repurchase right on or prior to the close of
business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”);
(x) that the holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to the
Fundamental Change Expiration Time; and
(xi) the procedures that holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their
Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the
Noteholders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the
Notes pursuant to this Section 6.02.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the option of
the holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes
has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default
by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such
Notes).
(d) In connection with any purchase offer, the Company will:
(i) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer
rules under the Exchange Act, if required under the Exchange Act,
(ii) file a Schedule TO or any successor or similar schedule, if required under the
Exchange Act, and
(iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with
any offer by the Company to purchase the Notes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Indenture, compliance by the Company with
Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rule under the Exchange Act in accordance with
clause (i) above, to the extent inconsistent with any other provision of this Indenture, will not,
standing alone, constitute an Event of Default solely as a result of compliance by the Company with
such rules.
Notwithstanding the foregoing the Company shall not be required to repurchase the Notes in
accordance with this Section 6.02 if a third party makes an offer in the manner, at the times and
otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.02 and purchases all
Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such purchase offer.
Section 6.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice.
(a) A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office (as defined in Section 1.01 of the Base
Indenture) of the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 6.03 at any time prior to the close
of business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date, specifying:
(i) the certificate number, if any, of the Note in respect of which such notice of
withdrawal is being submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Note in
respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global
Note,
(ii) the principal amount of the Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal
is being submitted, and
(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original
Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000;
Section 6.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company,
or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust) on or
prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of cash
sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to
the Fundamental Change Expiration Time) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date with respect to such Note (provided the holder has satisfied the conditions in
Section 6.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee
(or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the holder thereof in the manner required by
Section 6.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the holders of such Notes entitled thereto
as they shall appear in the Note Register, provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall
be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its
nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company,
return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
(b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on
all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased as a result of the corresponding
Fundamental Change, then (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest, including
Additional Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on such Notes, and (iii) all other rights of the
holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Price, and previously accrued but unpaid interest, including Additional Interest, if
any, upon delivery of the Notes), whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or
the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent.
(c) Upon surrender of a Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 6.02, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the holder a new Note in an
authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Note
surrendered.

Convertible Senior Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of
$373,750,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to a Second Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of April 9, 2009, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company,
National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), to the Indenture, dated as of September
23, 1999, between Xxxx-Xxxxxx Automotive, Inc. (predecessor in interest to the Company) and the
Chase Manhattan Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association (predecessor in
interest to the Trustee) (as such may be amended from time to time, the “Indenture”) to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the
Company and the holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate
principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture.
In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing,
the principal of and interest, including Additional Interest, if any, on all Notes may be declared,
by either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes
then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the
effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and
deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the principal amount on the
Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect
such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United
States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances,
without the consent of the holders of the Notes, and in other circumstances, with the consent of
the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time
outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying
the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the
Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the holders of all of the Notes waive
any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal
amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the
face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may
be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations,
without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax, assessments or other governmental charges that may be imposed in
connection therewith as a result of the name of the holder of the new Notes issued upon such
exchange of Notes being different from the name of the holder of the old Notes surrendered for such
exchange.
The Notes are not subject to redemption through the operation of any sinking fund or otherwise.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the holder has the right, at such holder’s option, to
require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in
principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the holder hereof has the right, at its option, prior
to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity
Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, into
cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as applicable, at
a Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the
