NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Trustee mutually covenant and agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I
AMENDMENTS

 

SECTION 1.1  Conversion Right.  The Indenture is hereby amended to provide that, subject to and from and after the effective time of the Merger, the Notes shall cease to be convertible into the right to receive Common Stock and shall instead be convertible solely into the right to receive from the Company that amount of Merger Consideration (as defined below) that a converting Holder of Notes would have been entitled to receive upon the Merger had such Notes been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger, without interest thereon.

 



 

SECTION 1.2  Merger Consideration.

 

(a)        Pursuant to the Merger Agreement: (i) each share of Common Stock (other than shares owned by the Company as treasury stock or owned by Computer Associates or Merger Sub, which will be cancelled in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement)) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $17.00 in cash per share, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”); and (ii) upon the Merger, all such shares of Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares) to receive the Merger Consideration upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Merger Agreement, without interest;

 

(b)        In the event that the Company changes the number of shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding prior to the Merger as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted in conjunction with all applicable adjustments set forth in Article XII of the Indenture.
