Section 2.03 Form of Reverse of Note.
8.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 8.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal amount to Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000), which amount may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and in accordance with the below referred Indenture) all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of September 28, 2016 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), to which the 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.
Interest. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 8.75% per year. Interest on the Notes will accrue from, and including, September 28, 2016, or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for. Interest will be payable semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning March 15, 2017.
Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest entirely in cash in money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture and Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement, in certain circumstances, the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive Additional Interest. Payments of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, principal and interest that are not made when due will accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable interest rate for the Notes from the required date of payment.
Interest will be paid to the person in whose name a Note is registered at the Close of Business on March 1 or September 1 (whether or not such date is a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest on the Notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.
Interest will cease to accrue on a Note upon its maturity, conversion or repurchase in connection with a Fundamental Change.
Ranking. The Notes constitute a general unsecured and unsubordinated obligation of the Company.
26 |
Redemption at the Option of the Company; No Sinking Fund. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes, at the Redemption Price, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock is equal to or greater than 200% of the Conversion Price in effect (but disregarding the effect on such price from certain anti-dilution adjustments) on the given Trading Day for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive Trading Day period (including the last Trading Day of such period) ending within the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides the Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5.02(a) and for 15 consecutive Trading Days following the last Trading Day on which the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock was equal to or greater than 200% of the Conversion Price in effect (but disregarding the effect on such price from certain anti-dilution adjustments) on such Trading Day for the purpose of the foregoing clause, the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock remains equal to or greater than 150% of the Conversion Price in effect (but disregarding the effect on such price from certain anti-dilution adjustments) on the given Trading Day.
Make-Whole Fundamental Change. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, if a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 6.08 and Schedule A of the Indenture.
Purchase at the Option of the Holder Upon a Fundamental Change. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated, at the option of the Holder, to repurchase the Notes if a Fundamental Change occurs at any time prior to the Maturity Date at 120% of the Principal Amount together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, which amount will be paid in cash.
Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. Holders have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice by delivering to the Paying Agent a written notice of withdrawal in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, or in the case of Notes held in book entry form, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of DTC. The right to withdraw the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice will terminate at the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
Payment of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. If money sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all Notes or portions thereof to be purchased on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date is deposited with the Paying Agent on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or portions thereof) immediately after the Close of Business on such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and the Holder thereof shall have no other rights as such (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon surrender of such Note).
Conversion. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture (including without limitation the conditions of conversion of this Note set forth in Article 6 thereof), the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, to convert the Principal Amount hereof or any portion of such principal which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into shares of Common Stock at the Applicable Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate is initially 733.14 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial Conversion Price of approximately $1.364), subject to adjustment in certain events described in the Indenture. Upon conversion, the Company will deliver shares of Common Stock, and the Early Conversion Payment, if applicable, as set forth in the Indenture. No fractional shares will be issued upon any conversion, but a payment in cash will be made, as provided in the Indenture, in respect of any fraction of a share which would otherwise be issuable upon the surrender of any Notes for conversion. Notes in respect of which a Holder is exercising its right to require repurchase on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date may be converted only if such Holder withdraws the related election to exercise such right in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
27 |
In the event of a deposit or withdrawal of an interest in this Note, including an exchange, transfer, repurchase or conversion of this Note in part only, the Trustee, as custodian of the Depositary, shall make an adjustment on its records to reflect such deposit or withdrawal in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary.
Limitations on Issuance due to Market Regulation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture or in the Notes, the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes in connection with an Early Conversion Payment or otherwise, and shall not be entitled to issue shares of Common Stock in connection with any anti-dilution terms described in the Indenture, to the extent (and only to the extent) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, would exceed that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue, in the aggregate, pursuant to the terms of all Notes and Warrants without breaching the Exchange Cap (subject to certain exceptions related to receiving shareholder approval or approval from the Principal Exchange). Until such approval is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Notes or any of the Warrants or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note or under the Warrant Agreement, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants initially purchased by such Holder from the Initial Purchaser on, and determined as of, the Issue Date divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the all Notes and all Warrants initially purchased by all Holders from the Initial Purchaser on, and determined as of, the Issue Date (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holders Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation based on the relative number of underlying shares determined as of the Issue Date with respect to such portion of such Notes and any Warrants so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion and exercise in full of a holder’s Notes and Warrants, the difference (if any) between such holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such holder upon such holder’s conversion in full of such holder’s Notes and exercise in full of such Warrants shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes and Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then underlying the Notes and Warrants held by each such Holder and holders of Warrants at such time. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 6.04 of the Indenture (the “Exchange Cap Shares”), the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the product of (x) such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (y) the simple average of the daily VWAP for Common Stock for the ten consecutive VWAP Trading Days ending on and included the VWAP Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date (the “Exchange Cap Share Cancellation Amount”); provided, that no Exchange Cap Share Cancellation Amount shall be due and payable to the Holder to the extent that (x) on or prior to the applicable Conversion Share Delivery Date, the Exchange Cap Allocation of a Holder is increased (whether by assignment by a holder of Notes and/or Warrants or all, or any portion, of such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation or otherwise) (an “Exchange Cap Allocation Increase”) and (y) after giving effect to such Exchange Cap Allocation Increase, the Company delivers the applicable Exchange Cap Shares to the Holder (or its designee) on or prior to the applicable Conversion Share Delivery Date. For the avoidance of any doubt, the term Holder includes any beneficial interest holder in the case of any Notes represented by a Global Note and any Warrants represented by a Global Warrant where such instruments are registered in the name of a Depository or a nominee thereof. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES IT WILL NOT CONVERT OR EXERCISE THE NOTES OR WARRANTS IN CONTRAVENTION OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
28 |
Beneficial Ownership Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any Note, and no Holder shall have the right to exercise any Note, and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, and the Company shall not be entitled to issue shares of Common Stock in connection with any anti-dilution terms described hereunder, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, a Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder delivering such notice. The Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor the Company and each Warrantholder’s compliance with this paragraph.
Acceleration of Maturity. Subject to certain exceptions in the Indenture, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Principal Amount plus interest through such date on all the Notes may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
Supplement Indentures with Consent of Holders; Waiver of Past Defaults. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders (other than the Company and any Person controlled by the Company) of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders (other than the Company and any Person controlled by the Company) of specified percentages in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of any provision of or applicable to this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.
29 |
Registration of Transfer and Exchange. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Register, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the United States, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
Registration Rights. Holders of this Note (including any Person that has a beneficial interest in this Note) are entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement, which applies (among other securities) to shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of the Notes, including in connection with an Early Conversion Payment.
In accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, during any period in which an Event (each, a “Registration Default”) has occurred and is continuing, the Company will pay Additional Interest from and including the day of such Registration Default to but excluding the day on which such Registration Default has been cured. Additional Interest with respect to a Registration Default will be paid semiannually in arrears, with the first semiannual payment due on the first Interest Payment Date occurring after the Event Date and will accrue at a rate per annum equal to one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of Notes outstanding.
Whenever in this Note there is a reference, in any context, to the payment of interest on, or in respect of, any Note as of any time, such reference shall be deemed to include reference to Additional Interest, if any, payable in respect of such Note to the extent that such Additional Interest, if any, is, was or would be so payable at such time, and express mention of Additional Interest, if any, in any provision of this Note shall not be construed as excluding Additional Interest, if any, so payable in those provisions of this Note when such express mention is not made.
30 |
Denominations. The Notes are issuable only in registered form in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
This Note and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
All terms used in this Note that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

(a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 4.02 being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the “Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Registrar” (the “Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, each such Note bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture (including Sections 2.02, 3.07 and 3.11).
At the option of the Holder and subject to the other provisions of Section 3.07 and to Section 3.11, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate Principal Amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
39 |
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the registration of transfer of any Restricted Notes, the Company or the Trustee may require evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend on such Notes.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company and the Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.05 not involving any transfer.
Neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note in the circumstances set forth in Section 3.11(a)(iv).
(b) Neither any members of, or participants in, the Depositary (collectively, the “Agent Members”) nor any other Persons on whose behalf any Agent Member may act shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note registered in the name of the Depositary or any nominee thereof, or under any such Global Note, and the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any Agent Members or any other Person on whose behalf Agent Members may act with respect to (i) any ownership interests in the Global Note, (ii) the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) any notice required hereunder or (iv) any payments under or with respect to the Global Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other Person on whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note. The registered Holder of a Global Note may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Notes.

Section 3.08 Expiration of Restrictions.
(b) Global Notes; Resale Restriction Termination Date.
(i) If, on the Resale Restriction Termination Date, or the next succeeding Business Day if the Resale Restriction Termination Date is not a Business Day, any Notes are represented by a Global Note that is a Restricted Note (any such Global Note, a “Restricted Global Note”), as promptly as practicable, the Company will automatically exchange every beneficial interest in each Restricted Global Note for beneficial interests in Global Notes that are not subject to the restrictions set forth in the Restricted Notes Legend and in Section 3.07 hereof.
(ii) To effect such automatic exchange, the Company will (A) deliver to the Depositary an instruction letter for the Depositary’s exchange process at least 15 days immediately prior to the Resale Restriction Termination Date and (B) deliver to each of the Trustee and the Registrar a duly completed Free Transferability Certificate promptly after the Resale Restriction Termination Date.
44 |
(A) Immediately upon receipt of the Free Transferability Certificate by each of the Trustee and the Registrar the Restricted Notes Legend will be deemed removed from each of the Global Notes specified in such Free Transferability Certificate and the restricted CUSIP number will be deemed removed from each of such Global Notes and deemed replaced with an unrestricted CUSIP number.
(B) Promptly after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, the Company will provide Bloomberg LLP with a copy of the Free Transferability Certificate and will use reasonable efforts to cause Bloomberg LLP to adjust its screen page for the Notes to indicate that the Notes are no longer Restricted Notes and are now identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number.
(iii) Prior to the Company’s delivery of the Free Transferability Certificate and afterwards, the Company and the Trustee will comply with the Applicable Procedures and otherwise use reasonable efforts to cause each Global Note to be identified by an unrestricted CUSIP number in the facilities of the Depositary by the date the Free Transferability Certificate is delivered to the Trustee and the Registrar or as promptly as possible thereafter.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 3.08(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Company will not be required to deliver the Free Transferability Certificate if, in the written opinion of counsel, removal of the Restricted Notes Legend or the changes to the CUSIP numbers for the Notes could result in or facilitate transfers of the Notes in violation of applicable law.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and Principal Amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section 3.09, the Company may require payment by the Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
45 |
Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section 3.09 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.
Section 3.11 Transfer and Exchange.
(a) Provisions Applicable to All Transfers and Exchanges.
(i) Subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.11, Physical Notes and beneficial interests in Global Notes may be transferred or exchanged from time to time as desired, and each such transfer or exchange will be noted by the Registrar in the Register.
(ii) All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange in accordance with this Indenture will be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
(iii) No service charge will be imposed on any Holder of a Physical Note or any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note for any exchange or registration of transfer, but each of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar may require such Holder or owner of a beneficial interest to pay a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed in connection with such registration of transfer or exchange.
(iv) Unless the Company specifies otherwise, none of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or any co-Registrar will be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Note (i) that has been surrendered for conversion, (ii) after the Company has delivered a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof, except to the extent the Company fails to pay the applicable Redemption Price when due or (iii) as to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been delivered and not withdrawn, in each case, except to the extent any portion of such Note is not subject to the foregoing.
(v) The Trustee will have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Note (including any transfers between or among Depositary participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Note) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
46 |
(i) all Notes (other than Affiliate Notes) will be represented by one or more Global Notes;
(ii) every transfer and exchange of a beneficial interest in a Global Note will be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the Applicable Procedures and the provisions of this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 3.07); and
(iii) each Global Note may be transferred only as a whole and only (A) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, (B) by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or (C) by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
(c) Transfer and Exchange of Global Notes.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, each Global Note will be exchanged for Physical Notes if the Depositary delivers notice to the Company that:
(A) the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary; or
(B) the Depositary is no longer registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act;
and, in each case, the Company promptly delivers a copy of such notice to the Trustee and the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days after receiving notice from the Depositary.
In each such case, each Global Note will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause each Global Note to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, and the Company, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee will, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly authenticate and deliver, for each beneficial interest in each Global Note so exchanged, an aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes equal to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest, registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary specifies, and bearing any legends that such Physical Notes are required to bear under Section 3.07.
47 |
(ii) In addition, if (x) the Company, in its sole discretion, determines that any Global Note will be exchangeable for Physical Notes or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in each case, any owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may exchange such beneficial interest for Physical Notes by delivering a written request to the Registrar.
In such case, (A) the Depositary will deliver notice of such request to the Company and the Trustee, which notice will identify the owner of the beneficial interest to be exchanged, the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and the CUSIP of the relevant Global Note; (B) the Company will, in accordance with Section 3.04, promptly execute, and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly authenticate and deliver, to such owner, for the beneficial interest so exchanged by such owner, Physical Notes registered in such owner’s name having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such beneficial interest and bearing any legends that such Physical Notes are required to bear under Section 3.07, and (C) the Registrar, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, will cause the principal amount of such Global Note to be decreased by the aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interest so exchanged. If all of the beneficial interests in a Global Note are so exchanged, such Global Note will be deemed surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Trustee will cause such Global Note to be cancelled in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
(d) Transfer and Exchange of Physical Notes.
(i) If Physical Notes are issued, a Holder may transfer a Physical Note by: (A) surrendering such Physical Note for registration of transfer to the Registrar, together with any endorsements or instruments of transfer required by any of the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar; (B) if such Physical Note is a Restricted Note or Affiliate Note, delivering any documentation that the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar reasonably require to ensure that such transfer complies with Section 3.07 and any applicable securities laws; and (C) satisfying all other requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 3.11 and Section 3.07. Upon the satisfaction of conditions (A), (B) and (C), the Company, in accordance with Section 3.04, will promptly execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, will, in accordance with Section 3.04, promptly authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Physical Notes, of any authorized denominations, having like aggregate Principal Amount and bearing any restrictive legends required by Section 3.07.

Upon the satisfaction of conditions (A), (B), (C) and (D), the Trustee will cancel such Physical Note and cause, or direct the Registrar to cause, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, the aggregate Principal Amount of Notes represented by such Global Note to be increased by the aggregate Principal Amount of such Physical Note, and will credit or cause to be credited the account of the Person specified in the instructions provided by the exchanging Holder in an amount equal to the aggregate Principal Amount of such Physical Note.

(a) The Company may designate additional Paying Agents, rescind the designation of any Paying Agent, or approve a change in the office through which any Paying Agent acts.

The Trustee shall not be responsible for the actions of any other Paying Agents (including the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent) and shall have no control of any funds held by such other Paying Agents.

The Redemption Date must be a Business Day.
(b) The Redemption Notice, if given in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
(c) Each Redemption Notice shall specify:
(i) the Redemption Date;
(ii) the Redemption Price, including any fraction thereof to be paid in shares of common stock as a Redemption/Early Exercise Share Payment;
(iii) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;

(viii) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued.
A Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. After the Company has delivered a Redemption Notice, each Holder will have the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price for its Notes on the later of (i) the Redemption Date and (ii)(a) if the Notes are Physical Notes, delivery of its Notes to the Paying Agent or (b) if the Notes are Global Notes, compliance with the Applicable Procedures relating to the redemption and delivery of the beneficial interests to be redeemed to the Paying Agent; provided, however, that, until the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding such Redemption Date, Holders may convert their Notes, regardless of whether they have been delivered to the Paying Agent for redemption, by complying with the requirements for conversion set forth in Article 6.

At the Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the name of and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least five Business Days prior to the date that the Company requests such notice of redemption to be delivered to the Holders (unless a shorter notice period shall be agreed to by the Trustee), an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice, setting forth the information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding paragraph and providing a form of such notice.
(d) If fewer than all of the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected: (i) if the Notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; (ii) if the Notes are not so listed but are represented by a Global Note, then by lot or otherwise in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures; or (iii) if the Notes are not so listed and are not represented by a Global Note, then (in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples thereof) on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate (it being understood that as long as Notes are held by DTC, notice will be given by the rules of the Depositary). If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for conversion in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for conversion shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.
(e) In the event of any redemption in part, neither the Company nor the Registrar shall be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
Section 5.03 Payment of Notes Called for Redemption.
(a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 5.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b) Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 7.04 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made on the Redemption Date for such Notes. The Paying Agent shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Redemption Price.
56 |
(c) With respect to any portion of the Redemption Price that is a Redemption/Early Exercise Share Payment, the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in satisfaction of such amount shall be delivered as if the Company was making an Early Conversion Payment in shares of Common Stock, and using the same procedures as provided for such payment in shares as set forth in Section 6.01(c).
Section 6.01 Right to Convert; Early Conversion Payment.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert the Principal Amount of any such Notes, or any portion of such Principal Amount, into shares of Common Stock, provided that any portion of such Principal Amount that a Holder elects to convert is equal to $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. Upon any conversion, the Trustee shall provide to the Company notice of such conversion by electronic transmission, to such addresses as may be specified from time to time by the Company, promptly after the Conversion Notice is received.
(b) If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect to a Note under Section 6.01, such Holder may convert such Note only if such Holder first withdraws the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 6.03. If a Holder has surrendered such Holder’s Note for required purchase in connection with a Fundamental Change, such Holder’s right to withdraw the related Fundamental Change Purchase Note and convert each Note that is subject thereto will terminate at the Close of Business on (i) the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Fundamental Change Purchase Date or (ii) in the case of a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Note, the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such Default is no longer continuing.
57 |
(c) Upon any conversion of Notes prior to September 23, 2019, in addition to the shares deliverable upon conversion, a Holder will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the Early Conversion Payment. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any duty to calculate or verify the calculation of the Early Conversion Payment. The Company may pay an Early Conversion Payment either in cash or in Common Stock, or a combination thereof, at its election; provided, that the Company may only make such payment in Common Stock if there is no Equity Conditions Failure. In the case of an Early Conversion Payment in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares issuable will be based upon a price equal to 92.5% of the simple average of the Daily VWAP per share for Common Stock for the 10 Trading Days ending on and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date. Five Trading Day following the applicable Conversion Date, the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Holder or its designee has an account with DTC, credit the number of shares to which each Holder is entitled to such Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program or the Holder or its designee does not have an account with DTC, issue and dispatch by overnight courier to each Holder, a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of such Holder or its designee, for the number of shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the issuance of shares in connection with the Early Conversion Payment, but rather the number shares to be issued shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Dividend Shares. Accrued interest on Notes surrendered for conversion in connection with an Early Conversion Payment shall be paid in the form of cash, regardless of the payment method chosen by the Company for the Early Conversion Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holder elects to convert Notes on or after the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, such Holder will not be entitled to receive the Early Conversion Payment but instead shall receive Additional Shares, if any, pursuant to Section 6.08. However, on conversion of the Notes prior to the effective time of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Holder shall be entitled to receive the Early Conversion Payment.
(d) At or before each Interest Payment Date, the Company shall provide notice to the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Holders of its election to pay the Early Conversion Payment either in cash or in shares of Common Stock for future conversions of the Notes in the period between such Interest Payment Date and the next Interest Payment Date.
(e) Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Note also apply to conversion of a portion of a Note.
(f) A Holder of Notes is not entitled to any rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Notes, and only to extent such Notes are deemed to have been converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Article 6.
Section 6.02 Conversion Procedure.
(a) Each Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent.
(b) In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any interest in Global Notes, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Trustee or Conversion Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by Section 6.03(c) and any transfer taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 6.09. However, no service charge will be imposed by the Company, the Trustee or the Registrar for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes except in compliance with the below provisions governing exercise of conversion rights. In order to exercise the conversion right with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of any such Notes to be converted, in whole or in part, shall:
58 |
(i) complete and manually sign the conversion notice provided on the back of the Note (the “Conversion Notice”) facsimile of the conversion notice, or an electronic version of the conversion notice, each of which shall be irrevocable, and deliver such notice to a Conversion Agent;
(ii) surrender the Note to a Conversion Agent;
(iii) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents,
(iv) if required pursuant to Section 6.09, pay any transfer taxes or duties; and
(v) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which the Holder is not entitled as required by Section 6.03(c).
The date on which the Holder satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above is the “Conversion Date.”
(c) On the third Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date (the “Conversion Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall issue and shall deliver to the converting Holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of such conversion in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, the Early Conversion Payment, if applicable, and cash in lieu of any fractional share. In case any Notes of a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge to such Holder, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate Principal Amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Notes.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) on the date on which the requirements set forth above in Section 6.01(b) have been satisfied as to such Notes (or portion thereof) and the Person in whose name any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become, as of the Close of Business on the relevant Conversion Date that such Holder converted the Notes, the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock represented thereby.
(d) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, 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 conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(e) Each share certificate representing Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Notes that are Restricted Notes shall bear the Restricted Stock Legend as set forth in Section 3.07.
59 |
Section 6.03 Settlement upon Conversion.
(a) With respect to any conversion of Notes, if any, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of this Article 6 (including Section 6.04(a)), deliver to converting Holders, in respect of each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes being converted, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate, on the third Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, together with the Early Conversion Payment, if applicable.
(b) Upon conversion, Holders shall receive a payment for accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on each Holder’s Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Date (in the form of shares of Common Stock or cash based on the payment method chosen by the Company for the Early Conversion Payment).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the payment of accrued interest shall be made solely in cash (1) in connection with any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, if the related repurchase date is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the scheduled Trading Day immediately following the date on which the corresponding interest payment is made, (2) with respect to all Notes, if any, surrendered for conversion for which an Early Conversion Payment shall be received in the form of cash and (3) on the final Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, all Holders on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding an Interest Payment Date (or any repurchase date related to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change ) will receive the full interest payment on the Interest Payment Date or date of repurchase related to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.
(d) The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon conversion of Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share would be issuable upon the conversion of any Notes, the Company shall round up or down, as appropriate, to the nearest whole number.
(e) By delivery to the Holder of the full number of shares of Common Stock and the Early Conversion Payment, if applicable, issuable upon conversion, the Company will be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the Principal Amount of the Notes. In addition to the Early Conversion Payment, on conversion of a Note, the Holder will receive a payment of accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any, on such Holder’s Note to, but excluding, the Conversion date (in the form of shares of Common Stock or cash based on the payment method chosen by the Company for the Early Conversion Payment).
Section 6.04 Limitations on Issuance of Shares Due to Market Regulation.
60 |
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in the Notes, the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes in connection with an Early Conversion Payment or otherwise, and shall not be entitled to issue shares of Common Stock in connection with any anti-dilution terms described hereunder, to the extent (and only to the extent) the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, would exceed that aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue, in the aggregate, pursuant to the terms of all Notes and Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, including rules related to the aggregate of offerings under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (A) obtains and delivers written notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market for issuances of shares of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of the Notes and the Warrants or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the Warrant Agreement in excess of such amount or (B) obtains and delivers written notice to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of a written confirmation from the Principal Market that such approval is not required. Until such approval or such written confirmation is obtained, no Holder shall be issued in the aggregate, upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Notes or any of the Warrants or otherwise pursuant to the terms of this Note or under the Warrant Agreement, shares of Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap multiplied by (ii) the quotient of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants initially purchased by such Holder from the Initial Purchaser on, and determined as of, the Issue Date (for clarity, as if the Notes and Warrants had been converted and exercised in full on the Issue Date, prior to any adjustments that may later occur with respect to the applicable conversion or exercise price) divided by (B) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying the all Notes and all Warrants initially purchased by all Holders from the Initial Purchaser on, and determined as of, the Issue Date (for clarity, as if the Notes and Warrants had been converted and exercised in full on the Issue Date, prior to any adjustments that may later occur with respect to the applicable conversion or exercise price) (with respect to each Holder, the “Exchange Cap Allocation”). In the event that any Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holders Notes, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation based on the relative number of underlying shares determined as of the Issue Date with respect to such portion of such Notes and any Warrants so transferred, and the restrictions of the prior sentence shall apply to such transferee with respect to the portion of the Exchange Cap Allocation so allocated to such transferee. Upon conversion and exercise in full of a Holder’s Notes and Warrants, the difference (if any) between such Holder’s Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder upon such Holder’s conversion in full of such Holder’s Notes and exercise in full of such Warrants shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining holders of Notes and Warrants on a pro rata basis in proportion to the shares of Common Stock then underlying the Notes and Warrants held by each such Holder and holders of Warrants at such time. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 6.04 or as a result of lacking sufficient authorized capital stock (the “Exchange Cap/Underauthorized Shares”), the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the product of (x) such number of Exchange Cap/Underauthorized Shares and (y) the simple average of the daily VWAP for Common Stock for the ten consecutive VWAP Trading Days ending on and included the VWAP Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date (the “Exchange Cap Share Cancellation Amount”); provided, that no Exchange Cap Share Cancellation Amount shall be due and payable to the Holder to the extent that (x) (i) on or prior to the applicable Conversion Share Delivery Date in the case of an issuance being prohibited due to the Exchange Cap under this Section 6.04, the Exchange Cap Allocation of a Holder is increased (whether by assignment by a holder of Notes and/or Warrants or all, or any portion, of such holder's Exchange Cap Allocation or otherwise) (an “Exchange Cap Allocation Increase”) or (ii) in the case of a failure to have sufficient authorized capital stock, such failure is cured (“Authorized Capital Increase”), (y) after giving effect to such Exchange Cap Allocation Increase or Authorized Capital Increase, as applicable, the Company delivers the applicable Exchange Cap/Underauthorized Shares to the Holder (or its designee) on or prior to the applicable Conversion Share Delivery Date or (z) in connection with an Early Conversion Payment (or a Redemption/Early Exercise Share Payment) that was required to be paid in cash because the Exchange Cap (or Redemption/Early Exercise Share Payment) precluded a payment in stock (and therefore the payment was due in cash pursuant to the Early Conversion Payment. For the avoidance of any doubt, the term Holder for the purposes of this Section 6.04(a) includes any beneficial interest holder in the case of any Notes represented by a Global Note and any Warrants represented by a Global Warrant where such instruments are registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee thereof. BY ITS ACQUISITION HEREOF OR OF A BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN, THE ACQUIRER AGREES IT WILL NOT CONVERT OR EXERCISE THE NOTES OR WARRANTS IN CONTRAVENTION OF THIS PARAGRAPH.
61 |
(b) The Company shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which shall be promptly called and held not later than January 15, 2017 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions (“Stockholder Resolutions”) providing for issuance of the Conversion Shares and shares underlying the Warrants in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (collectively, the “Stockholder Approval”, and the date the Stockholder Approval is obtained, the “Stockholder Approval Date”), and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of the Company to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company's reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held on or prior to May 15, 2017. If, despite the Company's reasonable best efforts the Stockholder Approval is not obtained after such subsequent stockholder meetings, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held annually thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained.
62 |
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not effect the exercise of any Note, and no Holder shall have the right to exercise any Note, and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, and the Company shall not be entitled to issue shares of Common Stock in connection with any anti-dilution terms described hereunder, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of all such Holder’s Notes with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any Warrants or any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other Notes) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 6.04(c). For purposes of this Section 6.04(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
(d) For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of a Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, such Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, or (y) any other written notice by the Company, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Conversion Notice from a Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 6.04(d), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be acquired pursuant to such Conversion Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any Notes that were to be converted into the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of a Holder the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including any Warrants and Notes, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of a Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the Notes that were to be converted into the Excess Shares.
63 |
(e) Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, a Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to such Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other Holder that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder delivering such notice.
(f) For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this Section 6.04(c) through (g) shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of Section 6.04(c) through (g) with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of Section 6.04(c) through (g) shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6.04(c) through (g) to the extent necessary to correct this Section 6.04(c) through (g) or any portion of Section 6.04(c) through (g) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 6.04(c) through (g) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.
(g) For the avoidance of any doubt, the term Holder for the purposes of Section 6.04(a) includes any beneficial interest holder in the case of any Notes represented by a Global Note where such instrument is registered in the name of a Depositary or a nominee thereof.
(h) Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any duty to monitor whether the Exchange Cap has been reached or to monitor the Company’s or any Holder’s compliance with this Section 6.04.
(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock, or the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
64 |
CR1 | = | CR0 | x | OS1 |
OS0 |
where,
CR0 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;
CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date;
OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date; and
OS1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.05(a) will become effective 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 for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 6.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than (i) as a result of a reverse share split or share combination or (ii) with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
(b) If the Company issues or sells shares of Common Stock (including shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued pursuant to the fourth paragraph of this Section 6.05(b)) in a Qualified Financing at a price per share less than the Applicable Conversion Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding such issuance or sale, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
CR1 = CR0 x | (OS0 + X) |
(OS0 + Y) |
where,
CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance); |
CR1= | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance); |
65 |
OS = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance); |
X = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued) on such date; and |
Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock issued or sold (or deemed issued) and (B) the Conversion Price of the Notes on the Trading Day immediately preceding such issuance or sale (or deemed issuance). |
For the purpose of the above calculation, the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on the date of such issuance or sale shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis, as if all then outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities had been fully exercised or converted (and the resulting securities fully converted into shares of Common Stock, if so convertible) as of such date.
Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) shall become effective immediately following the Open of Business on the date of such issuance or sale. If Section 6.05(a), (c) or (d) applies to any distribution of shares of Common Stock or Notes, this Section 6.05(b) shall not apply to such distribution. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 6.05(b).
In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date shall issue any options or convertible securities or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities then entitled to receive any such options or convertible securities, then the maximum number of shares (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto without regard to any provisions contained therein designed to protect against dilution) of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such options or, in the case of convertible securities and options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, shall be deemed to be shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issuance or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the Close of Business on such record date provided, however, that in any such case in which shares of Common Stock are deemed to be issued no further adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be made upon the subsequent issue of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of such options or conversion or exchange of such convertible securities. The consideration per share received by the Company for shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued pursuant to this paragraph relating to options and convertible securities shall be determined by dividing:
(1) | the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such options or convertible securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against dilution) payable to the Company upon the exercise of such options or the conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, or in the case of options for convertible securities, the exercise of such options for convertible securities and the conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, by |
66 |
(2) | the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto, without regard to any provision contained therein designed to protect against the dilution) issuable upon the exercise of such options or conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, or in the case of options for convertible securities, the exercise of such options for convertible securities and the conversion or exchange of such convertible securities. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the terms of any option or convertible security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate of the Notes pursuant to this subsection 6.05(b), are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such option or convertible security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such option or convertible security) to provide for either (i) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such option or convertible security or (ii) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Company upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the conversion rate of the notes computed upon the original issue of such option or convertible security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Rate as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such option or convertible security; provided, however, that any adjustments to the conversion rate pursuant to this paragraph shall not be effective with respect to any Notes that have been converted prior to the date of any of the actions described in this paragraph.
(c) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 60 calendar days after the date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 | = | CR0 | x | OS0 + X |
OS0 + Y |
where,
CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
CR1 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
OS = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
X = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
67 |
Y = | the number of shares of 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 the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the distribution of such rights, options or warrants. |
The foregoing increase in the Conversion Rate will be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such rights, options or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate will be immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred. In addition, to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate will be immediately decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase made for the distribution of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the two immediately preceding sentences).
In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of shares of Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(d) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities (the “Distributed Property”), to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, excluding:
(i) dividends or distributions of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 6.05(a) or Section 6.05(b), as the case may be;
(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 6.05(e); and
(iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 6.05(d) will apply;
then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 | = | CR0 | x | XX0 |
XX0 - FMV |
68 |
where,
CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
CR1 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; |
SP0 = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 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 Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock 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 increase, adequate provision will be made so that each Holder of a Note will receive on the date on which the Distributed Property is distributed to holders of the Common Stock, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of the Notes, the amount and kind of Distributed Property that such Holder would have received had such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; provided further that if the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of the foregoing increase by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for purposes of determining “SP0” as set forth above.
Such increase in the Conversion Rate made pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be decreased 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, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 6.05(d) where there has been a payment of 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 or Affiliate, of the Company, where such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon consummation of the Spin-Off) on a major U.S. or non-U.S. securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 | = | CR0 | x | FMV0 + MP0 |
MP0 |
where
69 |
CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period; |
CR1 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period; |
FMV0 = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of shares of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined for purposes of the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” (i) as if such Capital Stock or similar equity interest were Common Stock, (ii) by reference to such major non-U.S. securities exchange, if applicable, and (iii) by converting such Last Reported Sales Price into U.S. dollars, if applicable) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (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 will occur on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that in respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period, references with respect to 10 consecutive Trading Days will be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
70 |
For purposes of this Section 6.05(d) (and subject in all respect to Section 6.13), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them 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 Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 6.05(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.05(d) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 6.05. If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets or property, 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 (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date 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 immediately 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 6.05(d) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share of Common Stock redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of shares of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of shares of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, 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 Section 6.05(a), Section 6.05(c) and this Section 6.05(d), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 6.05(d) is applicable that also includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 6.05(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 6.05(c) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”), then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 6.05(d) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate required by this Section 6.05(d) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate required by Section 6.05(a) and Section 6.05(c) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or immediately prior to the Open of Business on such effective date, as applicable” within the meaning of Section 6.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 6.05(c).
(e) If any cash dividend or distribution is paid or made to all or substantially all holders of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 | = | CR0 | x | XX0 |
XX0 - C |
71 |
where,
CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
CR1 = | the 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 10 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 distributes to holders of shares of Common Stock. |
The increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.05(e) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate will be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determined not to pay or make such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note will receive, for each $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution.
(f) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for shares of Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender offer or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
CR1 | = | CR0 | x | AC + (SP1 x OS1) |
OS0 x SP1 |
where
CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; |
72 |
CR1 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; |
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 offer or exchange offer; |
OS0 = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer of exchange offer); |
OS1 = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer); and |
SP1 = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. |
The increase in the Conversion Rate under this Section 6.05(f) shall occur at the Close of Business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires but will be given effect immediately after the Close of Business on the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; provided that in respect of any conversion within the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the date any such tender offer or exchange offer expires, references to 10 consecutive Trading Days will be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires to, and including, the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate.
If the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company is ultimately prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any portion of such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate will immediately be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that had been effected. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding sentence).
73 |
(g) In addition to those Conversion Rate adjustments required by Sections 6.05(a), 6.05(c), 6.05(d), 6.05(e) and 6.05(f), and to the extent permitted by the Exchange Cap and applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of The NASDAQ Global Select Market (including Market Rule 5635) or, if applicable, any securities exchange on which the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time (i) may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest and (ii) may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to this Section 6.05(g), the Company shall send to Holders of record of the Notes (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent as set forth in Section 6.05(j)) a notice of the increase at least 5 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.
(h) The Conversion Rate will not be adjusted, among other things:
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee or director benefit plan or program of the Company, or assumed by the Company, or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;
(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) above and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued, except as set forth in Section 6.13;
(iv) upon the repurchase of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to an open-market share repurchase program or other buy-back transaction that is not a tender offer or exchange offer of the nature described in Section 6.05(f);
(v) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or
(vi) for accrued and unpaid interest, and Additional Interest, if any.
(i) Adjustments to the Conversion Rate under this Article 6 shall be calculated to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share of Common Stock. No adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Applicable Conversion Rate. Any adjustment that would otherwise be required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any conversion of the Notes (solely with respect to the Notes to be converted), the Company shall give effect to all adjustments that Company otherwise has deferred pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and those adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.
74 |
(j) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee and any Conversion Agent 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 Trust 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 became effective and shall send such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder at such Holder’s last address appearing in the Register, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(k) In any case in which this Section 6.05 provides that an adjustment shall become effective immediately after a Record Date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Holder of any Notes converted after such Record Date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of any fraction pursuant to Section 6.03.
(l) For purposes of this Section 6.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock 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.
75 |
The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the Register of the Notes maintained by the Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, changes, consolidations, mergers, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section 6.06 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 6.05 shall not apply.
Section 6.08 Adjustment upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(a) If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the notice of conversion of the Notes is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (2) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change).
(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall deliver shares of Common Stock, including the Additional Shares, as provided under Section 6.03, and subject to Section 6.04. If the consideration for the shares of Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2)(A) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, for any conversion of the Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the conversion obligation will be calculated based solely on the Share Price for the transaction and will be deemed to be, per $1,000 Principal Amount of Notes, an amount equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate (including any adjustment as described in this Section 6.08) multiplied by such Share Price.
76 |
(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased will be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Share Price”) paid (or deemed paid) per share of Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the shares of Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2)(A) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. Otherwise, the Share Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(d) The Share Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Share Prices shall equal the Share Prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 6.05.
(e) The exact Share Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in which case:
(i) If the Share Price is between two Share Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Conversion Rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
(ii) If the Share Price is greater than $20.0 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Share Prices pursuant to Section 6.08(d)), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
(iii) If the Share Price is less than $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner and at the same time as the Share Prices pursuant to Section 6.08(d)), no Additional Shares will be added to the Conversion Rate.
(f) If a Holder of Notes elects to convert its Notes prior to the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and the Make-Whole Fundamental Change does not occur, such Holder shall not be entitled to an increased Conversion Rate in connection with such conversion.
(g) The Company shall notify Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent) of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
77 |
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any lien or adverse claim.
The Company shall use its reasonable efforts to list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Notes on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
78 |
Section 6.12 Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on Common Stock that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 6.05; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all or substantially all of the shares of Common Stock of options, rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any share of any class or any other options, rights or warrants; or
(c) of any reclassification or reorganization of the Common Stock (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 shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale, lease 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 or any of its Significant Subsidiaries;
then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and to be mailed to each Holder at such Holder’s address appearing in the Register, as promptly as practicable, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of shares of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, 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 shares of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, reorganization, 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, reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

7.
PURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDERS UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE
Section 7.01 Purchase at Option of Holders upon a Fundamental Change.
Purchases of Notes under this Section 7.01 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof upon:
(i) delivery to the Paying Agent of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) in the form set forth on the reverse of the Notes on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law, which must specify:
80 |
(A) if the Notes are Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Holder’s Notes to be delivered for purchase;
(B) the portion of the Principal Amount of the Holder’s Notes to be purchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple in excess thereof; and
(C) that the Holder’s Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture; and
(ii) delivery or book-entry transfer of the Notes to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) (together with all necessary endorsements) at any time on or prior to the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extension to comply with applicable law, at the applicable Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company), such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price therefor; provided that such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be so paid pursuant to this Section 7.01 only if the Notes so delivered to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all respects to the description thereof in the related Fundamental Change Purchase Notice; provided that, if such Holder’s Notes are not Physical Notes, such Holder must comply with the Applicable Procedures.
Any purchase by the Company contemplated pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.01 shall be consummated by the delivery of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price to be received by the Holder promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or the time of the book-entry transfer or delivery of the Notes.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 7.01 shall have the right to withdraw such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice (in whole or in part) at any time prior to the Close of Business on (i) the Business Day prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date or (ii) in the case of a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes, the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such Default is no longer continuing, in either case, by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 7.03 below.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
81 |
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice will specify:
(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change;
(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;
(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the purchase right;
(iv) the Fundamental Change Purchase Price;
(v) the Fundamental Change Purchase Date;
(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;
(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 Purchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in accordance with Section 7.03; and
(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit any Holder’s purchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 7.01.
82 |

Section 8.02 Acceleration of Maturity: Waiver of Past Defaults and Rescission.
(a) If an Event of Default (other than those specified in Section 8.01(i) and Section 8.01(j) involving the Company, and as otherwise provided in Section 8.03) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes may declare 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest plus, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, a payment equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes from the date of the Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default between a Regular Record Date and the following Interest Payment Date, from such Interest Payment Date) until the first to occur of the Maturity Date and September 23, 2019, shall become immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(i) or Section 8.01(j) with respect to the Company (but not with respect to any Significant Subsidiary of the Company or any group of Subsidiaries of the Company that, in the aggregate, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Company), 100% of the Principal Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on all outstanding Notes plus, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, a payment equal to the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes from the date of the Event of Default (or, in the case of an Event of Default between a Regular Record Date and the following Interest Payment Date, from such Interest Payment Date) until the first to occur of the Maturity Date and September 23, 2019, will automatically become due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.
86 |
(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may (x) waive any past Default and its consequences and (y) at any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article 8 provided, rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences, except, in each case, with respect to a Default described in Section 8.01(a), Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 13 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected, if:
(i) such rescission will not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
(ii) all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived.
Upon any such waiver, the Default which has been waived shall cease to exist and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every other purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 8.03 Additional Interest.
(a) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date which is six months after the Issue Date, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than current reports on Form 8-K), or the Notes (other than Affiliate Notes) are not otherwise Freely Tradable (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes which shall accrue at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the Principal Amount of Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or for which the Notes are not Freely Tradable (ending on the date that is one year from the Issue Date).
Further, if, and for so long as, the Restrictive Notes Legend has not been removed from the Notes (other than Affiliate Notes), the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP number or the Notes are not otherwise Freely Tradable as of the 375th day after the Issue Date, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest will accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the Principal Amount of Notes outstanding until the Restrictive Notes Legend has been removed in accordance with Section 3.08, the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP number and the Notes are Freely Tradable.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(a), Section 8.03(b) hereof and Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement exceed 1.00% per annum.
87 |
The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) are separate and distinct from, and in addition to, the obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 8.03(b), subject to proviso to the first paragraph of this Section 8.03(a). Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(a) will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as ordinary interest is payable pursuant to Section 2.03. The Company shall notify the Trustee and the Holders in writing of any Additional Interest due under Section 8.03 (a) at least 15 days prior to each Interest Payment Date, as applicable.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, if so elected by the Company, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.08 hereof will (i) for the first 180 days after the occurrence of such an Event of Default (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not occur until the Notice of Default has been provided, and the related 60-day period has passed) consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.25% of the Principal Amount of outstanding Notes and (ii) from the 181st day until the 360th day following the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at an annual rate equal to 0.50% of the Principal Amount of outstanding Notes. The Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) will be in addition to any Additional Interest that may accrue pursuant to Section 8.03(a) (subject to the proviso to the first paragraph of such Section). If the Company so elects, the Additional Interest payable under this Section 8.03(b) will be payable on all outstanding Notes from and including the date on which such Event of Default first occurs to, but excluding, the 360th day thereafter, or such earlier date on which such Event of Default has been cured or waived or ceases to exist. On the 361st day after such Event of Default, if such Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 361st day, Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) will cease to accrue and the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 8.02. In the event the Company does not elect to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) upon an Event of Default in accordance with this paragraph, the Notes will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 8.02. Any Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as ordinary interest is payable pursuant to Section 2.03, except that payment shall be in cash on the final Interest Payment Date.
In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 8.03(b) as the sole remedy during the first 360 days after the occurrence of an Event of Default relating to the failure to comply with Section 4.08 in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of such election on or before the Close of Business on the date on which such Event of Default first occurs (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will not occur until the Notice of Default has been provided, and the related 60-day period has passed). Upon the failure to timely give all Holders, the Trustee and Paying Agent such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 8.02. For avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall send the Notice of Default under this Section 8.03(b) only if it is directed to do so by the Holders in accordance with this Indenture.
88 |
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of the Principal Amount plus accrued but unpaid interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if the Trustee does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of, or acquiescence in, the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.
No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 10.07;
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes for the Principal Amount, Redemption Price, Fundamental Change Purchase Price or interest (including Additional Interest, if any) as the case may be, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes; and
89 |
THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto.
(i) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;
(ii) the Holder or Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;
(iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such request and offer of security or indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(v) no direction, in the opinion of the Trustee, inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the outstanding Notes;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
93 |
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the written direction of the Holders of not less than a majority in Principal Amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined as provided in Section 1.04 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture;

(viii) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit), irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

94 |
None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder (including, without limitation, as Custodian, Registrar, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, or transfer agent hereunder), and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

95 |
(e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney (at the reasonable expense of the Company and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation);

(j) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder;

Section 10.11 Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
(a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the Holders of Notes. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment 60 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may, upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, appoint a successor identified in such notice or may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or, if any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, subject to the provisions of Section 8.13, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.
(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:
(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 10.09 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months; or
(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder; or
(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;
98 |
then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 8.13, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Note or Notes for at least six (6) months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee; provided, however, that if no successor Trustee shall have been appointed and have accepted appointment sixty (60) days after either the Company or the Holders has removed the Trustee, the Trustee so removed may petition at its own expense any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee which shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless, within 10 days after notice to the Company of such nomination, the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, or if such Trustee so removed or any Holder fails to act, the Company, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 10.11(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.
(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.11 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 10.12.
99 |
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 10.12 unless, at the time of such acceptance, such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 10.09 and be eligible under the provisions of Section 10.10.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 10.12, the Company (or the former trustee, at the written direction of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Notes at their addresses as they shall appear on the Register (or otherwise send in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary in the case of Global Notes). If the Company fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or any authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force that is provided in the Notes or in this Indenture; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 14.14 Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States sitting in the State and City of New York, County and Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state court sitting in the State and City of New York, County and Borough of Manhattan or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court sitting in the State and City of New York, County and Borough of Manhattan.
(b) The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(a) Subject to this Article 15, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
109 |
(i) the principal of, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, and any other payment due to Holders pursuant to, the Notes or this Indenture will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(ii) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.
(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder, the Note Guarantees, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand:
(i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 8 hereof for the purposes of the Note Guarantees, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and
(ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 8 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of the Note Guarantees.
110 |
The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees.
Section 15.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or any similar federal, state, provincial or other applicable law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 15, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
Section 15.03 Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 15.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto will be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 15.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.
In the event that the Company or any Guarantor acquires or creates another Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 4.14 hereof, the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.14 hereof and this Article 15, to the extent applicable.
Section 15.04 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.
A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets (other than assets determined to be held by such Guarantor as a qualified intermediary on behalf of third-party taxpayers pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031) to, or amalgamate or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than the Company, unless:
111 |
(i) immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(ii) the Person acquiring the assets in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such amalgamation, consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and a Note Guarantee pursuant to a supplemental indenture reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Note Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All of the Note Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
Upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof, each Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Note Guarantee.
Any Guarantor, not released from its obligations under its Note Guarantee as provided in Section 15.04 or this Section 15.05, will remain liable for the full amount of principal of, Additional Interest, if any, and interest on, and any other payment due to Holders pursuant to, the Notes or this Indenture and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 15.
