Section 14.09. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock
(a) In the case of:
(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination),
(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving Parent Guarantor,
(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of substantially all of the consolidated assets of Parent Guarantor and Parent Guarantors existing and future Subsidiaries, or
(iv) any statutory share exchange,
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a Specified Corporate Event), then the Company or the successor or acquiring corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under 10.01(c) providing that, at and after the effective time of such Specified Corporate Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of Ciena Consideration Units equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Specified Corporate Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the Reference Property, with each unit of Reference Property meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one Ciena Consideration Unit is entitled to receive) upon the occurrence of such Specified Corporate Event; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Specified Corporate Event, (A) the Company or the successor or acquiring corporation, as the case may be, shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of
7
Notes in accordance with Section 14.02, and in respect of the Interest Make-Whole Payment, if applicable, in accordance with Section 14.01(b) and (B) (x) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (y) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.01 and Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Specified Corporate Event and (z) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.
If the Specified Corporate Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of shareholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (y) if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Specified Corporate Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.04), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Specified Corporate Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying such cash amount to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for (x) anti-dilution adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 14.09, with respect to any Reference Property consisting of shares of Common Equity, and (y) with respect to any other Reference Property, such adjustments (if any) that the Board of Directors determines in good faith are appropriate. If, in the case of any Specified Corporate Event, the Reference Property includes shares of Common Equity or other securities issued by a company that is party to such transaction but is not the Company, such other company will also execute such supplemental indenture, and such supplemental indenture will contain such provisions and modifications as the Board of Directors reasonably considers necessary or appropriate to protect the interests of the Holders, including the right of Holders to require the Company to purchase their notes upon a Fundamental Change by reason of the foregoing. If the Notes become convertible into Reference Property, the Company shall notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and publish the information on the Companys website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.
(b) When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.09, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Specified Corporate Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 calendar days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.
(c) Parent Guarantor shall not become a party to any Specified Corporate Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.09. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into Ciena Consideration Units or, following receipt of Stockholder Approval, cash, Ciena Consideration Units or a combination of cash and Ciena Consideration Units, as applicable, all as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.02, prior to the effective date of such Specified Corporate Event.
8
(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Specified Corporate Events.
Section 2.13. As a result of the Merger, which constitutes a Make-Whole Fundamental Change and a Fundamental Change, (i) the covenants and provisions described in Section 4.14 shall cease to apply, (ii) the Collateral (other than the Pledged Collateral) is automatically released from the Liens securing the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture, the Notes and the Related Security Documents as provided for in Section 17.06(a), and (iii) the Note Guarantee of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged pursuant to Section 18.06 of the Indenture. As a result of obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approvals, the Conversion Share Cap and the limitation on the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 1% of the Common Stock outstanding on December 4, 2014 pursuant to any Affiliate Notes and the Affiliate Warrants to a particular Affiliated Investor shall cease to apply. All terms and references related to the foregoing shall be deemed removed from the Indenture unless the context requires otherwise.
Section 2.14. Section 14.04(f) is hereby deleted in its entirety.

(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any obligation of the Company under the Indenture or any Note, by operation of law or otherwise;
(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Indenture or any Note;
(c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Company;
(d) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which Parent Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee or any other Person, whether in connection with this Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein prevents the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(e) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Company for any reason of this Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture or any Note, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Company of the principal of or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture; or
(f) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Company, the Trustee or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph,
9
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to Parent Guarantors obligations hereunder (other than the payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture).
Section 3.03. Discharge; Reinstatement. Parent Guarantors obligations hereunder will remain in full force and effect until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable by the Company under the Indenture have been paid in full. If at any time any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note or any other amount payable by the Company under the Indenture is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise, Parent Guarantors obligations hereunder with respect to such payment will be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
Section 3.04. Waiver by the Guarantor. Parent Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Company or any other Person.
Section 3.05. Subrogation and Contribution. Upon making any payment with respect to any obligation of the Company under this Article 3, Parent Guarantor will be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Company with respect to such obligation.
Section 3.06. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Company under the Indenture or the Notes is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Indenture are nonetheless payable by Parent Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Trustee or the Holders.
Section 3.07. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. The execution by Parent Guarantor of this Supplemental Indenture evidences the Note Guarantee of Parent Guarantor, whether or not the person signing as an officer of Parent Guarantor still holds that office at the time of authentication of any Note. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee after authentication constitutes due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of Parent Guarantor.

Annex A
Section 14.05. Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as the holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.05, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate.
(a) If Parent Guarantor exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if Parent Guarantor effects a share split or share combination of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
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; | ||
CR' | = | 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 | ||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 14.05(a) shall 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 the case may be. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors of Parent Guarantor determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If Parent Guarantor issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling the holders of such rights, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; |
A-1
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance; | ||
OS0 | = | 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 | ||
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 issuance of such rights, options or warrants. |
Any increase made under this Section 14.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. 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 decreased, as of the date of such expiration, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to 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 be decreased, as of the scheduled issuance date, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.05(b) and Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration Parent Guarantor receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the board of directors of Parent Guarantor.
(c) If Parent Guarantor distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of Parent Guarantor or rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.05(a) or Section 14.05(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.05(d), (iii) conversion of the Common Stock into, or exchange of the Common Stock for, in each case, Reference Property pursuant to a transaction described in Section 14.09 and (iv) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.05(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire shares of Capital Stock or other securities, the Distributed Property), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
A-2
CR' | = | 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 Parent Guarantor) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock as of the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Any increase made under this Section 14.05(c) above shall 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, or if any rights or warrants are not exercised before their expiration date, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had such distribution had not been declared or to the extent such rights, options or warrants are not exercised before they expire.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if FMV (as defined above) is equal to or greater than SP0 (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes held, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received as if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Record Date for such distribution. If the board of directors of Parent Guarantor determines the FMV (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.05(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the 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.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.05(c) 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 of Parent Guarantor, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a Spin-Off), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; | ||
FMV0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day immediately following, 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. |
A-3
The increase to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall be determined on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but shall be given effect at the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any conversion of Notes during the Valuation Period, references in the portion of this Section 14.05(c) related to Spin-Offs with respect to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. If the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period in respect of any conversion of Notes, references in the preceding paragraph to 10 consecutive Trading Days will be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. If such Spin-Off does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared, effective as of the date on which the board of directors of Parent Guarantor determines not to consummate such Spin-Off.
For purposes of this Section 14.05(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 14.13), rights, options or warrants distributed by Parent Guarantor to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Parent Guarantors 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 14.05(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.05(c) 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 14.05(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-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 14.05(c) 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 redemption or purchase 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, options or warrants), made to all holders 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 (or deemed to have expired or been terminated pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued (to the extent any adjustment to the Conversion Rate was made in connection with such issuance).
For purposes of Section 14.05(a), Section 14.05(b) and this Section 14.05(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.05(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.05(a) is applicable (the Clause A Distribution); or
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.05(b) is applicable (the Clause B Distribution),
then, in either case, (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 14.05(c) is applicable (the Clause C Distribution) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.05(c) with respect to
A-4
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 Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.05(a) and Section 14.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by Parent Guarantor (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 Effective Date within the meaning of Section 14.05(a) or outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date within the meaning of Section 14.05(b).
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution by Parent Guarantor to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; | ||
SP0 | = | the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and | ||
C | = | the amount in cash per share that Parent Guarantor pays or distributes to holders of the Common Stock. |
Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.05(d) shall 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, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the board of directors of Parent Guarantor determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. 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 shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the 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 on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution.
(e) If Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries make 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 Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on 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:
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires; |
A-5
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on 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 of Parent Guarantor) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time 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 or exchange offer); | ||
OS' | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the time 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 | ||
SP' | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender offer or exchange offer expires. |
The increase to the Conversion Rate under this Section 14.05(e) shall be determined at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires, but shall be given effect at the open of business on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any conversion of Notes within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references in this Section 14.05(e) with respect to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and the Conversion Date in determining the Conversion Rate. In addition, if the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date for such tender or exchange offer is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Observation Period (if applicable) in respect of any conversion of Notes, references in the preceding paragraph to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date for such tender or exchange offer to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.05(e) shall be made if such adjustment would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate.
If Parent Guarantor is obligated to purchase shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer described in this Section 14.05(e) but is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchases that have been effected.
(f) Notwithstanding this Section 14.05 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if any adjustment to the Conversion Rate described in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 14.05 becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 14.02(i) based on an adjusted Conversion Rate; and for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.05, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.
(g) If the application of the formulas described in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 14.05 or under Section 14.06 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split or share combination or the reversal of an increase to the Conversion Rate where the relevant event did not occur, as expressly specified in the Indenture).
A-6
(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.05, and to the extent allowed by applicable law and any applicable stock exchange on which any of Parent Guarantors securities are then listed, (i) Parent Guarantor from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the board of directors of Parent Guarantor determines that such increase would be in Parent Guarantors best interest and (ii) Parent Guarantor may (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a 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 either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of each Note a notice of the increase at least 15 calendar 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.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by Parent Guarantor or any of Parent Guarantors Subsidiaries;
(ii) except as set forth in Sections 14.05(b), 14.05(c) or 14.06, upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (i) of this subsection;
(iii) upon the repurchase of any shares of the 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 14.05(e);
(iv) solely for a change in the par value (or lack of par value) of the Common Stock; or
(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
(j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share, with five one-hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., 0.76545 would be rounded up to 0.7655). The Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 14.05 or Section 14.06 unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that if an adjustment is not made because the adjustment does not change the Conversion Rate by at least 1%, then such adjustment will be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon any conversion of Notes and (ii) annually, on the anniversary of the original issue date of the Notes, the Company shall give effect to all adjustments that the Company has otherwise deferred pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, and those adjustments will no longer be carried forward and taken into account in any future adjustment.
(k) Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers Certificate setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.
(l) For purposes of this Section 14.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Parent Guarantor so long as Parent Guarantor does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Parent Guarantor, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

(m) If, in the case of any conversion of a Note to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, on any Trading Day during the Observation Period for such Note, shares of Common Stock are deliverable as part of the Daily Settlement Amount for such Trading Day, and
(i) the Effective Date for any Qualifying Dilutive Issuance, Ex-Dividend Date for any issuance, dividend or distribution, the Effective Date for any share split or combination or the expiration date for any tender offer or exchange offer that, in each case, would require an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 14.05 or under Section 14.06 occurs prior to the Companys delivery of such shares of Common Stock and/or cash to the converting Holder;
(ii) the applicable Conversion Rate for such Trading Day will not reflect such adjustment; and
(iii) the shares of Common Stock and/or cash that the Company will deliver to the converting Holder with respect to such Trading Day are not entitled to participate in the relevant event (because the converting Holder is not treated as the holder of such shares of Common Stock on the related Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date, expiration date or otherwise),
then the Company shall adjust the number of shares and/or cash that the Company delivers to such Holder as part of the Daily Settlement Amount for such Trading Day in a manner that the Board of Directors determines appropriately reflects the relevant issuance, dividend, distribution, transaction or event.
(n) If any adjustment is made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 14.05 or 14.06, then concurrently therewith (but without any further adjustment to the Conversion Rate), the Cash Component shall be adjusted based on the following formula:
CC = (CC0 × CR0) / CR
where,
CC0 | = | the Cash Component in effect immediately prior to such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; | ||
CC' | = | the new Cash Component in effect immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; | ||
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such adjustment to the Conversion Rate; and | ||
CR' | = | the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after such adjustment to the Conversion Rate. |
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) any adjustment of the Cash Component pursuant to this Section 14.05(n) shall not cause an additional adjustment to the Conversion Rate as a result of the adjustment of the Cash Component and (ii) in no event shall the amount of cash payable on the conversion of all of the Notes immediately prior to any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 14.05 or 14.06 be different that the amount of cash payable on the conversion of all of the Notes immediately after such adjustment.
Section 14.06. Conversion Rate Adjustments upon Certain Issuances of Common Stock. (a) If Parent Guarantor issues, or has been deemed by the express provisions of this Section 14.06 to have issued, Additional Shares of Common Stock, for an Effective Price less than the Applicable Closing Price (a Qualifying Dilutive Issuance), then and in each such case, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following:
A-8
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date for such issuance; | ||
CR' | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Effective Date for such issuance; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Effective Date; | ||
X | = | the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued; | ||
CP0 | = | the Applicable Closing Price in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date for such issuance; and | ||
Y | = | the Aggregate Consideration. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 14.06(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event that the number of shares of Additional Shares of Common Stock or the Effective Price cannot be ascertained at the time of issuance, such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed issued immediately upon the occurrence of the first event that makes such number of Additional Shares of Common Stock or the Effective Price, as applicable, ascertainable. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent a Conversion Rate adjustment is made under Section 14.05 with respect to any issuance or deemed issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock, no adjustment will be made pursuant to this Section 14.06.
(b) For the purpose of the adjustment required under Section 14.06(a), if Parent Guarantor (i) issues (x) preferred stock or other stock, options, warrants, purchase rights or other securities exercisable for, exchangeable for or convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as Convertible Securities) or (y) rights or options for the purchase of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and (ii) if the effective price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is less than the Applicable Closing Price, in each case, Parent Guarantor shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by Parent Guarantor for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities plus: (A) in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to Parent Guarantor upon the exercise of such rights or options; and (B) in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to Parent Guarantor upon the conversion thereof (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities); provided that if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses Parent Guarantor shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses.
(c) If the minimum amount of consideration payable to Parent Guarantor upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided further, that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to Parent Guarantor upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to us upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities.
A-9
(d) No further adjustment of the Conversion Rate or the Applicable Closing Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock or the exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Conversion Rate and the Applicable Closing Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate or the Applicable Closing Price that would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by us upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by us for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by Parent Guarantor (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such convertible securities, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of the Notes.
(e) In the event that Parent Guarantor issues, or is deemed to have issued, Additional Shares of Common Stock in a qualifying dilutive issuance (the First Dilutive Issuance), then in the event that Parent Guarantor issues, or is deemed to have issued, Additional Shares of Common Stock in a Qualifying Dilutive Issuance other than the First Dilutive Issuance as a part of the same transaction or series of related transactions as the First Dilutive Issuance (a Subsequent Dilutive Issuance), then and in each such case upon a Subsequent Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Rate shall be increased to the Conversion Rate and the Applicable Closing Price shall be decreased to the Applicable Closing Price, in each case, that would have been in effect had the First Dilutive Issuance and each Subsequent Dilutive Issuance all occurred on the Effective Date of the First Dilutive Issuance.
