Section 2.10 CUSIP Numbers.
     The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more CUSIP numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers in notices of repurchase or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed on the notice or on the Securities; provided further, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and the effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, such CUSIP numbers.

     The indebtedness of the Company arising under or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Security issued under this Indenture from time to time constitutes and will constitute a senior unsecured obligation of the Company, ranking equally with other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior to any existing or future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
Section 2.14 Additional Securities.
     The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Sections 2.01 and Error!

The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for that purpose.

     (G) If any Security shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Security shall, until paid, bear interest, payable in cash, at the rate borne by such Security on the principal amount of such Security, and such Security shall continue to be convertible pursuant to Article XI.
     (H) Any Security which is to be submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change only in part shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.02 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate (upon receipt of a Company Order) and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of the same tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Security not duly submitted for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change.

The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities tendered to it for Repurchase Upon Fundamental Change during the continuance of such an acceleration.
     (J) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Repurchase Upon a Fundamental Change is determined to constitute a tender offer, the Company shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E thereunder, and with all other applicable laws, and will file a Schedule TO or any other schedules required under the Exchange Act or any other applicable laws.

Section 11.01 Conversion Privilege; Restrictive Legends.
     (A) Subject to the provisions of Article III and this Article XI, the Securities shall be convertible, in integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount, into cash and, if applicable, shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Article XI and as set forth below if any of the following conditions are satisfied:

-20-


 

     (i) Conversion Based on Closing Sale Price of Common Stock. Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the State Maturity for the payment of principal and subject to earlier repurchase pursuant to Article III, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion during any calendar quarter (and only during that quarter) after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2008, if the Closing Sale Price for each of twenty (20) or more Trading Days in a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds one hundred and thirty percent (130%) of the Conversion Price in effect on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Solely for purposes of determining whether the Securities shall have become convertible pursuant to this Section 11.01(A)(i), the Board of Directors shall, in its good faith determination, which shall be described in a Board Resolution, make appropriate adjustments to the Closing Sale Price and/or such Conversion Price used to determine whether the Securities shall have become convertible pursuant to this Section 11.01(A)(i) to account for any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that shall have become effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date (or effective date) of such event occurs, during the period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.
     (ii) Conversion Upon Satisfaction of Note Trading Price Condition. Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the State Maturity for the payment of principal and subject to earlier repurchase pursuant to Article III, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion during the five (5) consecutive Business Days immediately after any five (5) consecutive Trading Day period (such five (5) consecutive Trading Day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the average Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities was equal to or less than ninety seven percent (97%) of the average Conversion Value per $1,000 principal amount of Securities (as defined below) during the Note Measurement Period (such condition, the “Note Trading Price Condition”). The Bid Solicitation Agent shall not have any obligation to determine the Trading Price unless the Company has requested such determination in a Company Order, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder of Securities provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities would be equal to or less than ninety seven percent (97%) of the Conversion Value per $1,000 principal amount of Securities on that Trading Day. Upon receipt of such evidence, the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent in a Company Order to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities for each of the five (5) successive Trading Days immediately after the Company receives such evidence and on each Trading Day thereafter until the first Trading Day on which the Note Trading Price Condition is no longer satisfied. The Bid Solicitation Agent will have no liability for the accuracy, sufficiency or availability of information it obtains or fails to obtain at the Company’s request, including any bid quotation or Trading Price with respect to the Securities. For purposes of this paragraph, the “Conversion Value” per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, on a given Trading Day, means the product of the Closing Sale Price on such Trading Day and the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day.

     (iii) Conversion Upon Certain Distributions. If the Company takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, that would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Sections 11.05(b), 11.05(c) or 11.05(d) (and in the case of an event described in Section 11.05(c) or Section 11.05(d), so long as the relevant dividend or distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price the Trading Day immediately preceding the date that such distribution was first publicly announced), then the Company shall mail to Holders, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base Indenture, and to the Trustee written notice of the action or event at least 30 Business Days before the record date, effective date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the relevant transaction. Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion beginning on the date the Company mails such notice until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex Date of the transaction or the expiration date for such transaction or until the Company announces that such transaction will not take place.
     (iv) Conversion Upon Occurrence of Certain Corporate Transactions. If (x) a Fundamental Change occurs, (y) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (z) the Company is party to a consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger or binding share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, then, in each case, a Holder may surrender its Securities for conversion at any time during the following periods:
     (a) in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, during the Make-Whole Conversion Period;
     (b) in the case of a Fundamental Change, the period that begins on, and includes, the 30th Business Day before the date the Company originally announces as the anticipated effective date of the Fundamental Change and ends on, and includes, the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; or
     (c) in all other cases, the period that begins on, and includes, the 30th Business Day before the date the Company originally announces as the anticipated effective date of the transaction and ends on, and includes, the 30th day after the actual effective date of the transaction.
The Company shall mail to Holders, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base Indenture, and to the Trustee notice of, and the Company shall publicly announce, through a reputable national newswire service, and publish on its website, the anticipated effective date of any transaction described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause (c) above. The Company must make this mailing, announcement and publication at least 30 Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of any such transaction.
     (v) Conversion during Specified Periods. Irrespective of the conditions set forth in clause (i), clause (ii), clause (iii) or clause (iv) above, the Securities may

be surrendered for conversion at any time from, and including, January 15, 2015 until the close of business of the Business Day immediately preceding April 15, 2015.
     (B) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the right to convert the Securities pursuant to this Article XI shall terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities.
     (C) The initial Conversion Rate shall be 18.2962 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 11.05 through 11.14.
     (D) Whenever any event described in Section 11.01 shall occur which shall cause the Securities to become convertible as provided in this Article XI, the Company shall promptly deliver, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base Indenture, written notice of the convertibility of the Securities to the Trustee and each Holder and shall, as soon practicable, but in no event later than the open of business on the first date the Securities shall become convertible as provided in this Article XI as a result of such event, publicly announce, through a reputable national newswire service, and publish on the Company’s website, that the Securities have become convertible. Such written notice, public announcement and publication shall include:
     (i) the event causing the Securities to become convertible;
     (ii) the time period during which the Securities will be convertible as a result of that event;
     (iii) if that event is a transaction described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause (c) of Section 11.01(A)(iv), the anticipated effective date of the transaction; and
     (iv) the procedures Holders must follow to convert their notes in accordance with this Article XI, including the name and address of the Conversion Agent.
          If the Company shall fail to make such public announcement on or before the open of business on the first date the Securities shall become convertible as provided in this Article XI as a result of such event, then (1) the Securities shall remain convertible for an additional Business Day for each Business Day, on or after such first date the Securities become convertible, that the Company shall fail to make such public announcement (an “Extension Period”); and (2) if the event causing the Securities to become convertible shall be a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, then, the increased Conversion Rate applicable, pursuant to Section 11.14, to Securities surrendered within the time periods specified in Section 11.14 shall continue to apply to Securities surrendered for conversion during any such Extension Period.
     (E) A Holder may convert a portion of the principal amount of a Security if such portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of such Security.

Section 11.02 Conversion Procedure and Payment Upon Conversion.
     (A) To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and sign the Conversion Notice, with appropriate signature guarantee, on the back of the Security, and deliver such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent, (4) pay the amount of interest, if any, the Holder must pay in accordance with Section 11.02(C) and (5) pay any tax or duty if required pursuant to Section 11.03. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. If a Security is surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Article XI, then:
     (i) the Company shall deliver, through the Conversion Agent, to the Holder of such Security an amount of cash and, if applicable, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Settlement Amount”) equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each Trading Day in the Cash Settlement Averaging Period for such conversion;
     (ii) the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, such Settlement Amount on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day in the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to such conversion; and
     (iii) if the Settlement Amount includes shares of Common Stock, at and after the close of business on the last Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Person in whose name such certificate representing such shares of Common Stock, if any, is to be registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record with respect to such             shares of Common Stock, and all rights of the Holder of such Security shall terminate, other than the right to receive the consideration payable or deliverable, as the case may be, upon conversion of such Security as provided herein;
     (B) “Cash Settlement Averaging Period” shall mean, with respect to a Security that is surrendered for conversion in accordance with this Article XI, either (i) if such Security is converted during the period beginning on the twenty fifth (25th) Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities, the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days beginning on, and including, the twenty second (22nd) Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities; or (ii) in all other circumstances, the twenty (20) consecutive Trading-Day period that begins on, and includes, the third (3rd) Trading Day after the Conversion Date for such conversion.
          “Daily Conversion Value” shall mean, with respect to a Trading Day, one-twentieth (1/20th) of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day.
          The “Daily Settlement Amount,” for each of the 20 Trading Days during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of converted Securities, consists of (x) cash equal to the lesser of $50.00 and the Daily Conversion Value; and

-24-


 

(y) if such Daily Conversion Value exceeds $50.00, a number of shares of Common Stock (the “Daily Share Amount”) equal to (A) the difference between such Daily Conversion Value and $50.00, divided by (B) the “Volume-Weighted Average Price” of Common Stock for such Trading Day (subject to the Company’s right to pay cash in lieu of all or a portion of such shares of Common Stock, as described in the immediately succeeding paragraph).
     By the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the first Scheduled Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period (or, with respect to any Conversion Date for Securities that occurs on or after the 25th Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities, on or prior to such 25th Scheduled Trading Day), the Company may specify a percentage of the Daily Share Amounts for the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period (or for certain specified Holders with a given Cash Settlement Averaging Period) that will be settled in cash (the “Cash Percentage”), and the Company will concurrently notify the Securityholders and the Trustee of such Cash Percentage (the “Cash Percentage Notice”). The Company will treat all Holders with the same Cash Settlement Averaging Period in the same manner. The Company will not, however, have any obligation to settle its conversion obligations arising with respect to different Cash Settlement Averaging Periods in the same manner. If the Company elects to specify a Cash Percentage, the amount of cash that the Company will deliver in lieu of all or the applicable portion of the Daily Share Amount in respect of each Trading Day in the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period will equal: (i) the Cash Percentage, multiplied by (ii) the Daily Share Amount for such Trading Day (assuming the Company has not specified a Cash Percentage), multiplied by (iii) the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock for such Trading Day. The number of shares of Common Stock deliverable in respect of each such Trading Day in the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period will be the Daily Share Amount (assuming the Company had not specified a Cash Percentage), multiplied by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Cash Percentage. If the Company does not specify a Cash Percentage, the Company must settle 100% of the Daily Share Amount for each Trading Day in such Cash Settlement Averaging Period by delivering shares of Common Stock.
          The “Volume-Weighted Average Price” per share of Common Stock on any Trading Day shall mean the volume-weighted average price per share of Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock shall not be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal exchange or over-the-counter market on which the Common Stock shall then be listed or traded, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such Trading Day as displayed under the heading “Bloomberg VWAP” on Bloomberg page “ANR.N <Equity> VAP” (or any successor thereto); provided, however, that if such volume-weighted average price shall not be available, then the amount to be used as the Volume-Weighted Average Price on such Trading Day for purposes hereof shall be the market value per share of Common Stock on such Trading Day determined by a nationally recognized investment banking firm retained for such purpose by the Company.
     (C) Except as provided in the Securities or in this Article XI, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on a converted Security or for dividends on any Common Stock issued on or prior to conversion. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the Regular Record Date for the payment of an installment of interest and prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such

-25-


 

conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Security on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on such Regular Record Date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the portion so converted unless either (i) the Company shall have, in respect of a Fundamental Change, specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date which is after such Regular Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date; or (ii) such Security is surrendered for conversion after the close of business on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Stated Maturity for the payment of principal on the Securities; provided further, however, that, if the Company shall have, prior to the Conversion Date with respect to a Security, defaulted in a payment of interest on such Security, then in no event shall the Holder of such Security who surrenders such Security for conversion be required to pay such defaulted interest or the interest that shall have accrued on such defaulted interest pursuant to Section 2.09 or otherwise (it being understood that nothing in this Section 11.02(C) shall affect the Company’s obligations under Section 2.09).
     (D) If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, if any, shall be based on the aggregate principal amount of all Securities converted.
     (E) Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.
     (F) If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a not a Business Day, the Security may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.
     (G) The Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Securities and instead shall pay a cash adjustment for fractional shares of Common Stock based on the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock on the last Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
Section 11.03 Taxes on Conversion.
     If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, such Holder shall pay any such tax or duty which is due because such shares of Common Stock are issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

Section 11.04 Company to Provide Stock.
     The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the Securities (assuming, solely for purposes of this covenant, that the Company elects or shall elect to deliver solely shares of Common Stock in respect of the Daily Share Amount).
     All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.
     The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed.
Section 11.05 Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
     The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
          (a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
             
    CR’= CR0 ´ OS’
 
OS0
   
     where
             
 
  CR0   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
 
           
 
  CR’   =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;
 
           
 
  OS0   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and
 
           
 
  OS’   =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be.

-27-


 

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date for such share split or share combination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 11.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, or the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not split or combined, as the case may be, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, or not to split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination had not been declared or announced.
     (b) If the Company shall distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than twenty (20) calendar days after the record date of such distribution to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
             
 
  CR’= CR0 ´   OS0 + X
 
OS0 + Y
   
     where
             
   
CR0
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
           
   
CR’
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
           
   
OS0
  =   the number of shares of the Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
           
   
X
  =   the total number of shares of the Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
 
           
   
Y
  =   the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution of such rights, options or warrants.

-28-


 

Such adjustment shall be successively made whenever any such rights, options or warrants are distributed and shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for such distribution. The Company shall not issue any such rights, options or warrants in respect of shares of the Common Stock held in treasury by the Company. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex Date for such distribution had not occurred.
     In determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(b).
     (c) In case the Company shall distribute shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its Indebtedness or other of its assets or property other than (i) dividends or distributions covered by Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash, and (iii) Spin-Offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 11.05(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, indebtedness, or other asset or property hereinafter in this Section 11.05(c) called the “Distributed Property”), to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, then, in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
             
 
  CR’= CR0 ´   SP0
 
SP0 - FMV
   
     where
             
   
CR0
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
 
           
   
CR’
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution;
   
 
       
   
SP0
  =   the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution; and

-29-


 

         
FMV
  =   the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock as of the open of business on the Ex Date for such distribution.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the Ex Date for such distribution; provided that if “FMV” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP0” as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall receive on the date on which the Distributed Property is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities the amount of Distributed Property such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. If the Board of Directors determines “FMV” for purposes of this Section 11.05(c) 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 Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such distribution.
     With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.05(c) where there has been a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off will be increased based on the following formula:
             
 
  CR’= CR0 ´   FMV + MP0
 
MP0
   
        where
         
CR0
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off;
 
       
CR’
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off;
 
       
FMV
  =   the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off; and
 
       
MP0
  =   the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following and including the Ex Date for the Spin-Off.

-30-


 

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for the Spin-Off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Ex Date for any Spin-Off, references in the portion of this Section 11.05(c) related to Spin-Offs to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex Date for such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date for such conversion.
     Subject in all respect to Section 11.13, rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 11.05 (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05 will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights and warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 11.05(c). 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, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (and a termination or expiration of the existing rights, options or warrants without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.05 was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or repurchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.
     For purposes of this Section 11.05(c), Section 11.05(a), and Section 11.05(b), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.05(c) is applicable that also includes shares of Common Stock, or rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section 11.05(b) applies (or both), shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend or

-31-


 

distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets or shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock or rights, options or warrants to which Section 11.05(c) applies (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 11.05(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made) immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except (A) the Ex Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as “the Ex Date,” “the Ex Date relating to such distribution of such rights, options or warrants” and “the Ex Date for such distribution” within the meaning of Section 11.05(a) and Section 11.05(b) and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution, or the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be” within the meaning of Section 11.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution” within the meaning of Section 11.05(b).
     In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(c).
     (d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
             
 
  CR’= CR0 ´   SP0
 
SP0 - C
   
       where
         
CR0
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
       
CR’
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution;
 
       
SP0
  =   the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; and
 
       
C  
  =   the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock.
Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the Ex Date for such dividend or distribution; provided that if “C” as set forth above is equal to or greater than “SP0 as set forth above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Securityholder shall have the right to receive on the date on which the relevant cash dividend or distribution is distributed to holders of Common Stock, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder owned a number of shares equal to the Conversion Rate on the record date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion

-32-


 

Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
     For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 11.05(d), in the event of any reclassification of the Common Stock, as a result of which the Securities become convertible into more than one class of Common Stock, if an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is required pursuant to this Section 11.05(d), references in this Section to one share of Common Stock or Closing Sale Price of one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to refer to a unit or to the price of a unit consisting of the number of shares of each class of Common Stock into which the Securities are then convertible equal to the numbers of shares of such class issued in respect of one share of Common Stock in such reclassification. The above provisions of this paragraph shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications.
     In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(d).
     (e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock and the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
             
 
  CR’= CR0 ´   AC + (SP’ ´ OS’)
 
OS0 ´ SP’
   
        where
         
CR0
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the last Trading Day of the period of ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;
 
       
CR’
  =   the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the last day Trading Day of the period of ten consecutive Trading Days commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender 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 or exchange offer;
 
       
OS0
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer);

-33-


 

         
OS’
  =   the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to such tender offer or exchange offer); and
 
       
SP’
  =   the average of the Closing Sale Prices over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.
Such adjustment shall become effective at the close of business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate, in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days immediately following, but excluding, the date that any such tender offer or exchange offer expires, references in this Section 11.05(e) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender offer or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date for such conversion. If the Company is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or such Subsidiary is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any or all or any portion of such purchases or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be 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. In no event shall the Conversion Rate be decreased pursuant to this Section 11.05(e).
     (f) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above, the Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law and by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days or such longer period as may be required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such increase would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Rate increase shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s address as the same appears on the registry books of the Registrar, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such increase commences.
     (g) Notwithstanding this Section 11.05 or any other provision of the Indenture or the Securities, if any Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective, or any Ex Date for any issuance, dividend or distribution (relating to a required Conversion Rate adjustment) occurs, during the period beginning on, and including, the open of business on a Conversion Date and ending on, and including, the close of business on the last Trading Day of the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Board of Directors shall make adjustments to the Conversion Rate and the amount of cash or number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Securities, as the case may be, as is be necessary or appropriate to effect the intent of this Section 11.05 and the other provisions of Article XI and to avoid unjust or inequitable results, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11.05(g) shall apply in lieu of the adjustment that would otherwise be applicable.

-34-


 

     (h) The term “Ex Date” means the first date on which shares of Common Stock (or other relevant security) trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive the issuance, dividend or distribution in question.
Section 11.06 No Adjustment.
     No adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to one percent (1%) or more of the Conversion Rate as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Rate); provided, however, that any adjustments to the Conversion Rate which by reason of this Section 11.06 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate; provided further, that at the end of each fiscal year of the Company, beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008, any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that have been, and at such time remain, deferred pursuant to this Section 11.06 shall be given effect, and such adjustments, if any, shall no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate; provided further, that if a Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs, or if the Securities shall become convertible pursuant to Section 11.01(A)(iii) or Section 11.01(A)(iv), then, in each case, any adjustments to the Conversion Rate that have been, and at such time remain, deferred pursuant to this Section 11.06 shall be given effect, and such adjustments, if any, shall no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment to the Conversion Rate. All calculations under this Article XI shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-ten-thousandth of a share, as the case may be.
     No adjustment shall be made to the conversion rate for any of the transactions or events described in Section 11.05(a), Section 11.05(b), Section 11.05(c), Section 11.05(d) or Section 11.05(e) if the Company makes provision for each Holder to participate in the transaction or event at the same time holders of Common Stock participate without conversion as if such Holder held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex Date or effective date, as the case may be, for such transaction or event, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder.
Section 11.07 Other Adjustments.
     In the event that, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Article XI, the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Rate of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any Security shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article XI.
Section 11.08 Adjustments for Tax Purposes.
     Except as prohibited by law or by the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company may make such increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section 11.05 hereof, as it determines to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any income

-35-


 

tax to holders of Common Stock in connection with any dividend or distribution with respect to the Common Stock. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such increase (including the duration of such increase) to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s address as the same appears on Security Register for the Securities, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such increase commences.
Section 11.09 Notice of Adjustment.
     Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
Section 11.10 Notice of Certain Transactions.
     In the event that:
     (1) the Company takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate,
     (2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 11.11, or
     (3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books and the Trustee a written notice stating the proposed record, effective or expiration date, as the case may be, of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.10. The Company shall mail such notice at least twenty (20) days before such date; however, failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.10.
Section 11.11 Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges or Sales on Conversion Privilege.
     If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Securities, (ii) any consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger or binding share exchange to which the Company is a party or (iii) any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or assets, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into or exchanged for, or would constitute solely the right to receive, cash, securities or other property, then the Company or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee providing that, at and after the effective time of such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease,

-36-


 

conveyance or disposition, the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security (if otherwise convertible pursuant to this Article XI) into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property (collectively, “Reference Property”) receivable upon such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition by a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to a fraction whose denominator is one thousand (1,000) and whose numerator is the product of the principal amount of such Security and the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, upon the conversion of a Security (w) the portion of each Daily Settlement Amount payable in cash shall continue to be payable in cash (x) the portion (if any) of each Daily Settlement Amount payable in shares of Common Stock shall be payable in Reference Property, (y) the Daily Conversion Value shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property corresponding to the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in the relevant transaction and (z) the Volume-Weighted Average Price per share of Common Stock and the Closing Sale Price shall be calculated with respect to a unit of Reference Property corresponding to the amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in the relevant transaction. The supplemental indenture referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article XI. The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right a Holder of a Security may otherwise have, pursuant to Section 11.05(c) or Section 11.13, to receive rights, options or warrants upon conversion of a Security. If, in the case of any such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution). The provisions of this Section 11.11 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.
     For purposes of this Section 11.11, the type and amount of consideration that a holder of the Common Stock would have been entitled to in the case of reclassifications, consolidations, amalgamations, statutory arrangements, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or other dispositions of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets, in each case that cause the Common Stock to be converted into, exchanged for or to constitute solely the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election) will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that

-37-


 

affirmatively make such an election. We will notify Holders of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
     In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 11.11, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and (ii) an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.
     The Company shall not become a party to any such reclassification, consolidation, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition unless the terms thereof are consistent with this Section 11.11.
Section 11.12 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
     The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XI should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.09 hereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article XI.
     The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 11.11, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Opinion of Counsel and Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.11 hereof.
     The Conversion Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent shall have the same protections under this Section 11.12 as the Trustee.
Section 11.13 Rights Distributions Pursuant to Stockholders’ Rights Plans.
     Upon conversion of any Security or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provision for the Holder thereof, to the extent such Holder is to receive shares of Common Stock upon such conversion, to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Common Stock otherwise deliverable hereunder upon such conversion, the rights described in any stockholders’ rights plan (i.e., poison pill) the Company may have in effect at such time, unless such rights have separated from the Common Stock at the time of such conversion, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted upon such separation in accordance with Section 11.05(c).
Section 11.14 Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection With Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.
     (A) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Conversion Rate applicable to each Security that is surrendered for conversion, in accordance with this Article XI, at any

-38-


 

time during the period (the “Make-Whole Conversion Period”) that begins on, and includes, the actual effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and ends on, and includes, the date that is forty (40) Business Days after the actual effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change also constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date applicable to such Fundamental Change) shall be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this Section 11.14, otherwise apply to such Security pursuant to this Article XI, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.
          The additional consideration payable hereunder on account of any Make-Whole Applicable Increase with respect to a Security surrendered for conversion is herein referred to as the "Make-Whole Consideration.” For avoidance of doubt, the amount of the Make-Whole Consideration due upon the conversion of a Security shall be based on the Cash Settlement Averaging Period and Volume-Weighted Average Prices applicable to such conversion pursuant to Section 11.02.
     (B) As used herein, “Make-Whole Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the amount, set forth in the following table, which corresponds to the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Effective Date”) and the Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change:

provided, however, that:
     (i) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two (2) Applicable Prices listed in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price,” or if the actual Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is between two Effective Dates listed in the table above in the row immediately below the title “Effective Date,” then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by linear interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increases set forth for such two Applicable Prices, or for such two Effective Dates based on a three hundred and sixty five (365) day year, as applicable;
     (ii) if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is greater than $180.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as each Applicable Price in the table above, in accordance with Section 11.14(B)(iii)), or if the actual Applicable Price of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is less than $41.25 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as each Applicable Price in the table above, in accordance with Section 11.14(B)(iii)), then the Make-Whole Applicable Increase shall be equal to zero (0);
     (iii) if an event occurs that requires, pursuant to this Article XI (other than solely pursuant to this Section 11.14), an adjustment to the Conversion Rate, then, on the date and at the time such adjustment is so required to be made, (A) each Applicable Price set forth in the table above under the column titled “Applicable Price” shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Applicable Price, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Applicable Price as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Applicable Price and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article XI, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and (B) each Make-Whole Applicable Increase amount set forth in the table above shall be deemed to be adjusted so that such Make-Whole Applicable Increase, at and after such time, shall be equal to the product of (1) such Make-Whole Applicable Increase as in effect immediately before such adjustment to such Make-Whole Applicable Increase and (2) a fraction whose numerator is the Conversion Rate to be in effect, in accordance with this Article XI, immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate and whose denominator is the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and
     (iv) in no event shall the Conversion Rate applicable to any Security be increased pursuant to this Section 11.14 to the extent, but only to the extent, such increase shall cause the Conversion Rate applicable to such Security to exceed 24.2423 shares per $1,000 principal amount (the “BCF Make-Whole Cap”); provided, however, that the BCF Make-Whole Cap shall be adjusted in the same manner in which, and for the same events for which, the Conversion Rate is to be adjusted pursuant to this Article XI.

-40-


 

     (C) As used herein, “Applicable Price” shall have the following meaning with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change: (a) if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change constitutes a Common Stock Change Make-Whole Fundamental Change and the consideration (excluding cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) for the Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change consists solely of cash, then the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change; and (b) in all other circumstances, the “Applicable Price” with respect to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be equal to the average of the Closing Sale Prices for the five (5) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, which average shall be appropriately adjusted by the Board of Directors, in its good faith determination (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution), to account for any adjustment, pursuant hereto, to the Conversion Rate that shall become effective, or any event requiring, pursuant hereto, an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex Date of such event occurs, at any time during such five (5) consecutive Trading Days.
     (D) [Reserved.]
     (E) No later than the third Business Day after the Effective Date of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to Holders, in accordance with Section 15.04 of the Base Indenture, and to the Trustee written notice of, and shall publicly announce, through a reputable national newswire service, and publish on the Company’s website, such Effective Date and the Make-Whole Applicable Increase applicable to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
     (F) Nothing in this Section 11.14 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 11.05 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
ARTICLE XII. MISCELLANEOUS
