The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Securities held by it during the acceleration of the Securities (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Securities) and shall deem to be cancelled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Securities in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 3.02 Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 3.01, the Holder of the Security in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 3.03) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in cash with respect to such Security. Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, on the later of (x) the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 3.01 have been satisfied, and subject to extensions to comply with applicable law) and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such Security to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 3.01.
22
Section 3.03 Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, specifying:
(a) the principal amount of the Securities with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
(b) if Physical Securities have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Securities; and
(c) the principal amount, if any, of each Security that remains subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which must be such that the principal amount not to be purchased equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
provided, however, that if the Securities are Global Securities, the notice must comply with Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.
The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Securities with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.03.
Section 3.04 Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. On or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, (a) such Securities will cease to be Outstanding and interest will cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Securities is made or such Securities have been delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holders in respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price upon delivery or book-entry transfer of such Securities).
Section 3.05 Securities Purchased in Whole or in Part. Any Security that is to be purchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Physical Securities, 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 such Holders attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in
23
exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not purchased.
Section 3.06 Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws upon Purchase of Securities. In connection with any offer to purchase Securities under Section 3.01, the Company shall, in each case if required by law, (i) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to the Company in connection with such purchase offer.
Section 3.07 Repayment to the Company. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 3.04 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Securities or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.
ARTICLE 4.
CONVERSION
Section 4.01 Right To Convert. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holders option, to convert its Securities, or any portion of its Securities such that the principal amount that remains Outstanding of each Security that is not converted in full equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, into the Settlement Amount determined in accordance with Section 4.03(a) hereof (the Conversion Obligation), (x) prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 15, 2019, only upon satisfaction of one or more of the conditions described in Section 4.01(b) hereof, and (y) on or after May 15, 2019, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date.
(b) (1) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 15, 2019, a Holder may surrender Securities for conversion during any fiscal quarter commencing after September 28, 2012 (and only during such fiscal quarter) if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the Conversion Price in effect on each applicable Trading Day.
(2) Prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 15, 2019, a Holder may surrender all or a portion of its Securities for conversion during the five Business Day period after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the Measurement Period) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, as determined following a request by a Holder in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.01(b)(2), for each Trading Day of such Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent nationally
24
recognized securities dealers selected by the Company in accordance with the definition of Trading Price, along with the appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) shall have no obligation to solicit secondary market bid quotations for the Securities unless the Company has requested it to do so; and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request (or, if the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent, to determine the Trading Price of the Securities) unless a Holder of a Security provides it with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities would be less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the next Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. Notwithstanding the definition of Trading Price, if (i) the Company does not so instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids when required, or the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to solicit bids when required, (ii) the Company is acting as Bid Solicitation Agent and fails to obtain bids when so required or (iii) the Trading Price is otherwise not determined as required, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities will be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate and (ii) the Trading Price for each Trading Day on which the Company or the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to do so, as the case may be. At such time, the Company shall, or shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to (if other than the Company) determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Securities for a Trading Day is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on such Trading Day and (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day. Whenever the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 4.01(b)(2) has been met, but was not met on the immediately preceding Trading Day, the Company will so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing. If, at any time after the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 4.01(b)(2) has been met, the condition to conversion set forth in this Section 4.01(b)(2) ceases to be met, the Company will so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing.
(3) If the Company calls the Securities for redemption prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 15, 2019 pursuant to Article 6 hereof, Holders may convert their notes at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time, after which time the Holders right to convert the Securities will expire (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of the Securities may convert such Securities until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for).
(4) If the Company elects to (x) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock rights, options or warrants entitling them for a period of not more than 50 calendar days after the date of such issuance to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or (y) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Companys assets, debt securities or rights to purchase the Companys securities, which distribution has a per-share value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding 10% of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day preceding the date of announcement for such distribution, then, the Company must
25
deliver notice of such issuance or distribution, and of the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution, to the Holders at least 55 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Holders may surrender their Securities for conversion at any time during the period beginning on the 55th Scheduled Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and ending on the earlier of (a) the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution or (b) its announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, even if the Securities are not otherwise convertible at such time; provided, however, that Holders may not convert any of their Securities pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(4) if the Company provides that Holders shall participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, and as a result of holding the Securities, in the relevant issuance or distribution without having to convert their Securities as if they held a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Securities held by such Holder on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution.
(5) If (i) a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or (ii) the Company is a party to (a) a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets or (b) a sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Securities may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 20 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction) until the Close of Business (i) if such transaction or event is a Fundamental Change, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, and (ii) otherwise, on the 35th Business Day immediately following the effective date for such transaction or event. The Company will notify the Trustee and Holders of any such transaction:
(A) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 20 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction; or
(B) if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 20 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within two Business Days of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of such transaction, but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction.
Section 4.02 Conversion Procedures.
(a) Each Security shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.
(b) To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Security, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for conversion pursuant to the Depositarys book-entry conversion program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Conversion Agent, and pay the funds,
26
if any, required by Section 4.02(f) and any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 4.02(g), and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.
To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Securities, the Holder of such Physical Securities shall:
(1) complete and manually sign a conversion notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (the Conversion Notice) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;
(2) deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Security to the Conversion Agent;
(3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;
(4) if required, make any payment required under Section 4.02(f); and
(5) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 4.02(g).
If, upon conversion of a Security, any shares of Common Stock are to be issued to a Person other than the Holder of such Security, the related Conversion Notice shall include such other Persons name and address.
If a Holder has already delivered a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice as described in Section 3.01 with respect to a Security, the Holder may not surrender that Security for conversion until the Holder has withdrawn such notice in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, except to the extent that a portion of the Holders Security is not subject to a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice.
For any Security, the first Business Day on which the Holder of such Security satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Security and on which conversion of such Security is not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture shall be the Conversion Date with respect to such Security.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Securities (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion at the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date; provided, however, that, other than as set forth under Section 4.04 hereof, the Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). At the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for a Security, the converting Holder shall no longer be the Holder of such Security.
27
(c) Endorsement. Any Securities surrendered for conversion shall, unless shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Securities, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.
(d) Physical Securities. If any Securities in a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Securities so surrendered, without charge, new Securities in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Securities.
(e) Global Securities. Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Securities, the Conversion Agent shall make a notation in its records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Securities effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(f) Interest Due upon Conversion. If a Holder converts a Security after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, such Holder must accompany such Security with an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will be payable on such Security on the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that a Holder need not make such payment (1) if the Conversion Date follows the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Security.
(g) Taxes Due upon Conversion. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that any shares be issued in a name other than the Holders name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.
Section 4.03 Settlement upon Conversion.
(a) Settlement. (1) Subject to this Section 4.03 and Sections 4.06 and 4.07 hereof, upon conversion of any Security, the Company may make an election with respect to the Settlement Method (a Settlement Election) and the Specified Dollar Amount, if applicable (a Specified Dollar Amount Election), it chooses to deliver to Holders in full satisfaction of its Conversion Obligation in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted: cash (Cash Settlement), shares of Common Stock (Physical Settlement) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4.03(b) (Combination Settlement).
28
(2) Settlement Election. All conversions occurring (x) on or after May 15, 2019 or (y) after the issuance by the Company of a Redemption Notice and prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the related Redemption Date shall be settled using the same Settlement Method. Except for any conversions occurring on or after May 15, 2019 and any conversions that occur after the Companys issuance of a Redemption Notice, but prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day preceding the related Redemption Date, the Company will use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date. Except as set forth herein, the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Conversion Dates.
If the Company elects a Settlement Method, the Company shall inform Holders so converting, through the Trustee, of the Settlement Method it has selected (the Settlement Election Notice), no later than the Close of Business on the Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date (or in the case of any conversion occurring (i) after the date of issuance of a Redemption Notice and prior to the second Scheduled Trading Day preceding the related Redemption Date, in such Redemption Notice, or (ii) on or after May 15, 2019, no later than May 29, 2019 (which is the 55th Scheduled Trading Day preceding the Maturity Date). If the Company does not timely elect a Settlement Method, the Company will no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its conversion obligations, and the Specified Dollar Amount of the Securities shall be deemed equal to $1,000. If the Company elects Combination Settlement but does not timely notify the converting Holders of the Specified Dollar Amount, such Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be $1,000.
Prior to May 29, 2019, which is the 55th Scheduled Trading Day preceding the Maturity Date, the Company shall have the right to irrevocably elect Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount of $1,000 by delivering a written notice to all Holders of the Securities, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent and issuing a press release containing the relevant information and make such information available on the Companys website. Following such irrevocable election, the Company shall not have the right to change the Settlement Method.
(3) Settlement Amount. The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Securities (the Settlement Amount) shall be computed as follows:
(A) if the Company elects Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be converted, divided by $1,000 and (ii) the applicable Conversion Rate;
(B) if the Company elects Cash Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 50 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the related Cash Settlement Averaging Period; and
29
(C) if the Company elects Combination Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities being converted, an amount of cash and shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 50 consecutive VWAP Trading Days during the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period.
(4) Delivery Obligation. The Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of its Conversion Obligation (i) no later than the third Business Day immediately following the applicable Conversion Date, if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement; provided that for all such conversions occurring on or after the 55th Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, the Company shall deliver the shares of Common Stock on the Maturity Date; and (ii) except to the extent otherwise provided pursuant to Section 4.06 hereof, no later than the third Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period, if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement. In either case, delivery on such third Business Day shall be deemed timely and shall not result in any Default hereunder even if such Business Day occurs after the Maturity Date.
(b) Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock as part of the Settlement Amount due with respect to any converted Security. Instead, if any Settlement Amount includes a fraction of a share of the Common Stock, the Company will, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, pay an amount of cash (i) in the case Physical Settlement applies to the Conversion Obligation, based on the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date, or if such Conversion Date is not a Trading Day, the immediately preceding Trading Day or (ii) in the case Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies to the Conversion Obligation, based on the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Cash Settlement Averaging Period (subject to subsection (c) below).
(c) Conversion of Multiple Securities by a Single Holder. If a Holder surrenders more than one Security for conversion on a single Conversion Date, the Company will calculate the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock due with respect to such Securities as if such Holder had surrendered for conversion one Security having an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Securities surrendered for conversion by such Holder on such Conversion Date.
(d) Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Holder converts a Security, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Security and the Companys delivery of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock into which a Security is convertible will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Companys obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Security to, but excluding, the Conversion Date; provided, however, that, subject to Section 4.02(f), if a Holder converts a Security after a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will still be obligated to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Security on such Regular Record Date.
30
As a result, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Security will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. In addition, if the Settlement Amount for any Security includes both cash and shares of the Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the amount of cash delivered upon such conversion. In no event will a Holder be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to any Common Stock issued on conversion of such Holders Securities if the applicable Conversion Date is after the Regular Record Date for such dividend or distribution. Prior to the settlement of any conversion in accordance with Section 4.03, a Holder shall not be the owner of any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Holders Securities.
(e) Notices. Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Security, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee, if it is not then the Conversion Agent, notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Securities converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Securities on such Conversion Date.
On the first Business Day immediately following the last VWAP Trading Day of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to any converted Security to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, the Company will deliver written notice to the Conversion Agent and the Trustee stating the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, that the Company is obligated to pay to satisfy its conversion obligation with respect to each Security converted on such Conversion Date.
Section 4.04 Adjustment of Conversion Rate. The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as described in this Section 4.04, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of a share split or share combination), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and as a result of holding the Securities, in any of the transactions described below without having to convert their Securities, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities.
(a) If the Company exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will 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 combination, as applicable; |
31
CR1 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date; | ||||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date; and | ||||
OS1 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination. |
Any adjustment made under this Section 4.04(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. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 4.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Conversion Date that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 50 calendar days after the date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Conversion Rate will 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; | ||||
CR1 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; | ||||
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. |
32
Any increase made under this Section 4.04(b) will 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 such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are not delivered upon 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 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, or if such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be 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 4.04(b) and Section 4.01(b)(4) hereof, in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, 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.
(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding:
(1) dividends or distributions (including share splits), rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof or Section 4.04(b) hereof;
(2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 4.04(d) hereof;
(3) except as otherwise described below pursuant to which an adjustment is made to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 4.04(c), rights issued pursuant to any stockholders rights plan of the Company then in effect; provided that such rights plan provides for the issuance of such rights with respect to the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Securities; and
(4) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.04(c) shall apply;
(any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities of the Company, the Distributed Property), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
33
where
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; | ||
CR1 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date; | ||
SP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 5 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and | ||
FMV | = | the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences the Companys indebtedness, other assets, or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Companys Capital Stock or other securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
If FMV (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the SP0 (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Securities shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of Capital Stock, evidences of the Companys indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Capital Stock or other securities that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 4.04(c) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.04(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 of the Company or other business unit of the Company, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the distribution) on a United States national securities exchange or a reasonably comparable non-U.S. equivalent (a Spin-Off), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
34
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; | ||
CR1 | = | 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 Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as if reference therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the Valuation Period); and | ||
MP0 | = | the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |
For purposes of the second adjustment set forth in this Section 4.04(c), the adjustment to such Conversion Rate shall be determined immediately after the Close of Business on the last day of the Valuation Period but shall be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. If the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period in respect of any conversion, references within this Section 4.04(c) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period. In respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, references within this Section 4.04(c) related to 10 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 for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is not so paid, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors, determines not to pay such dividends or distributions, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
For purposes of Section 4.04(a) hereof, Section 4.04(b) hereof and this Section 4.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 4.04(c) applies includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 4.04(a) hereof also applies (the Clause A Distribution); or
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 4.04(b) hereof also applies (the Clause B Distribution),
then (i) 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 4.04(c) applies (the Clause C Distribution) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required to be made
35
under this Section 4.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall be made, (ii) the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 4.04(b) hereof with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause B Distribution and the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or the Clause B Distribution shall not be deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date within the meaning of Section 4.04(b) hereof, and (iii) the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution or the Clause B Distribution, as the case may be, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution, and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution shall not be deemed to be outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date within the meaning of Section 4.04(a) hereof.
(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made 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; | ||
CR1 | = | 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 the Company distributes to holders of the Common Stock. |
If C (as defined above) is equal to or greater than SP0 (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities it holds, 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 had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution. Such increase 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 the Company, or a committee thereof, determines not to pay such
36
dividends or distributions, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that 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 Offer Expiration Date), the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:
where,
CR0 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date; | ||
CR1 | = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date; | ||
AC | = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer; | ||
OS0 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer); | ||
OS1 | = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and | ||
SP1 | = | 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 Offer Expiration Date (the Averaging Period). |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate in this Section 4.04(e) shall be determined at the Close of Business on the last day of the Averaging Period but shall be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. If the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date is less than 10 Trading Days prior to, and including, the end of the Cash Settlement Averaging Period in respect of any conversion, references in this Section 4.04(e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period. In respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading
37
Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date, references in this Section 4.04(e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the trading day next succeeding the expiration date to, but excluding, the relevant conversion date.
If a Holder converts a Security, when Physical Settlement is applicable to such Security and any Conversion Rate adjustment described herein has become effective on or prior to the applicable Conversion Date, but the Holder will be entitled to participate in the event giving rise to such adjustment on account of the shares of Common Stock it receives upon conversion of such Security, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall calculate its conversion obligation to such Holder as if such Conversion Rate adjustment had not been required hereunder and treat such Holder as entitled to participate in such event on account of the shares of Common Stock it receives upon conversion of such Security.
(f) Special Settlement Provisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if a Holder converts a Security, when Combination Settlement is applicable to such Security and the Daily Settlement Amount for any VWAP Trading Day during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period applicable to such Security:
(1) is calculated based on a Conversion Rate adjusted on account of any event described in Sections 4.04(a) through (e) hereof; and
(2) includes any shares of Common Stock that, but for this provision, would entitle their holder to participate in such event;
then, although the Company will otherwise treat such Holder as the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the last VWAP Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Company will not permit such Holder to participate in such event on account of such shares of Common Stock.
(g) Poison Pill. If a Holder converts a Security, to the extent the Company has a rights plan in effect, the Holder converting such Security will receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock otherwise received in connection with such conversion, the rights under the rights plan with respect to such shares, unless prior to such conversion, the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 4.04(c) hereof, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
(h) Deferral of Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except on and after the first VWAP Trading Day of any Cash Settlement Averaging Period with respect to a Security and on or prior to the last VWAP Trading Day of such Cash Settlement Averaging Period, the Company will not be required to adjust the Conversion Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; provided, however, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided, further, that any such adjustment of
38
less than one percent that has not been made shall be made upon the occurrence of (i) the Effective Date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and (ii) in the case of any Security to which Physical Settlement applies, upon the Conversion Date, and in the case of a Security to which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement applies, on the first VWAP Trading Day of the applicable Cash Settlement Averaging Period. In addition, the Company shall not account for such deferrals when determining whether any of the conditions to conversion have been satisfied.
(i) Limitation on Adjustments. Except as stated in this Section 4.04, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If, however, the application of the formulas in Sections 4.04(a) through (e) hereof would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, then, except to the extent of any readjustment to the Conversion Rate, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split, share combination or readjustment to the Conversion Rate).
In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:
(1) on account of stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 4.04(e) hereof, including structured or derivative transactions, or transactions pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise;
(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Companys securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(3) 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, program or agreement of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(4) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding bullet and outstanding as of the date the Securities were first issued;
(5) for a change in the par value of the Common Stock;
(6) for accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities, if any; or
(7) for an event otherwise requiring an adjustment under this Indenture if such event is not consummated.
In addition, before taking any action which would cause an adjustment to the Conversion Rate such that the Conversion Price per share of Common Stock would be less than the par value of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities, the Company shall take all
39
corporate actions that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary so it may validly and legally issue shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Rate.
(j) For purposes of this Section 4.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
Section 4.05 Adjustment of Prices and Voluntary Adjustments.
(a) Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or any function thereof, including the number of shares of Common Stock that would be deliverable, over a span of multiple days (including during a Cash Settlement Averaging Period), the Company will make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Effective Date, Ex-Dividend Date or Offer Expiration Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs or functions thereof, including the number of shares of Common Stock that would be deliverable, are to be calculated.
(b) Voluntary Adjustments. To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to compliance with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Global Select Market, the Company is permitted to increase the Conversion Rate of the Securities by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Companys best interest. The Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.
Section 4.06 Adjustment to Conversion Rate upon Conversion in Connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(a) Increase in the Conversion Rate. If a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs and a Holder elects to convert its Securities in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances set forth in this Section 4.06, increase the Conversion Rate for the Securities so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the Additional Shares), as set forth in this Section 4.06. A conversion of Securities shall be deemed for these purposes to be in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Conversion Notice is received by the Conversion Agent during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is not a Fundamental Change, the 35th Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
40
(b) Cash Mergers. Upon surrender of Securities for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, at its option, satisfy its conversion obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the consideration paid to holders of the Common Stock in any Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in Clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change is comprised entirely of cash, then, for any conversion of Securities following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the payment and delivery obligations upon the conversion of a Security shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for such Make-Whole Fundamental Change and shall, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities converted, be deemed to be an amount of cash equal to the product of (i) the Conversion Rate in effect on the applicable Conversion Date (as increased by any number of Additional Shares required by this Section 4.06) multiplied by (ii) such Stock Price. In such event, the Company will determine the conversion obligation and pay such amount of cash to a converting Holder on the third Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date. Otherwise, the Company will settle any conversion of the Securities following the Effective Date for a Make-Whole Fundamental Change in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof (but subject to Section 4.07 hereof).
(c) Determining the Number of Additional Shares. The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Conversion Rate will be increased for a Holder that converts its Securities in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Schedule A hereto, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (the Effective Date) and the price (the Stock Price) paid (or deemed paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change.
(d) Interpolation and Limits. The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table in Schedule A, in which case:
(1) If the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
(2) If the Stock Price is greater than $12.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(4) hereof), the Conversion Rate shall not be increased.
(3) If the Stock Price is less than $4.25 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A pursuant to Section 4.06(d)(4) hereof), the Conversion Rate shall not be increased.
41
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Conversion Rate be increased on account of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change to exceed ###-###-#### shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.04 hereof.
(4) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table in Schedule A hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Securities is otherwise required to be adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 4.04.
(e) Notices. The Company shall notify the Holders of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
Section 4.07 Effect of Recapitalization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
(a) Merger Events. In the case of:
(1) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 4.04(a) hereof);
(2) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company;
(3) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or
(4) any statutory share exchange;
and, 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 Merger Event, any such stock, other securities, other property or assets, Reference Property, and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive in the applicable Merger Event (or if as a result of the applicable Merger Event, each share of Common Stock is converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the per-share of Common Stock weighted average of the types and amounts of Reference Property received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election) a Unit of Reference Property) then, at the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities will, without the consent of the Holders, be changed into a right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities into or based on a number of Units of Reference Property equal to the applicable Conversion Rate and,
42
prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture (which shall comply with the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Securities; provided, however, that (x) the Company will continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid and delivered, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(2) hereof and (y)(i) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Sections 4.03 and 4.06 hereof shall continue to be payable in cash, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with Sections 4.03 and 4.06 hereof shall instead be deliverable in Units of Reference Property and (iii) the Daily VWAP will be calculated based on the amount and kind of a Unit of Reference Property and the definitions of VWAP Trading Day and VWAP Market Disruption Event shall be determined by reference to the components of a Unit of Reference Property. The Company shall notify the Holders of the Unit of Reference Property as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 4.07. Such supplemental indenture described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Article 4 in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor Person.
(b) Notice of Supplemental Indentures. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Securities maintained by the Registrar, within 20 calendar days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section 4.07 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
(c) Prior Notice. In addition, at least 20 Scheduled Trading Days before any Merger Event, the Company shall give notice to Holders of such Merger Event, or, if the Company has not publicly announced such Merger Event at such time, as promptly as practicable after publicly announcing such Merger Event. In any such notice, the Company shall also specify the composition of the Unit of Reference Property for such Merger Event, or, if the Company has not determined the composition of such Unit of Reference Property at such time, the Company will provide an additional notice to Holders that states the composition of such Unit of Reference Property as promptly as practicable after determining its composition.
Section 4.08 Stock Issued upon Conversion.
(a) Reservation of Shares. To the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Indenture, prior to issuing any shares of Common Stock, the Company will reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of the Securities.
(b) Certain Other Covenants. The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Securities shall be newly issued shares or
43
treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any tax, lien or charge (other than those created by the Holder or due to a change in registered owner).
The Company shall list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of Securities on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
Section 4.09 Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent, Registrar, Bid Solicitation Agent or Paying Agent (in each case, if other than the Company) shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine or calculate amounts to be paid or for monitoring the price of the Common Stock or be charged with any knowledge of or have any duties to monitor any Measurement Period. These calculations include, but are not limited to, determinations of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock, accrued interest payable on the Securities, the Daily VWAP, the Daily Conversion Value, the Daily Settlement Amount and the Conversion Rate of the Securities. Further, the Trustee and any Conversion Agent, Registrar, Bid Solicitation Agent or Paying Agent (in each case, if other than the Company) shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Conversion Rate, or to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the appropriateness of the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any other securities or property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Securities; and the Trustee and the Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Securities for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 4. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Conversion Agent.
Section 4.10 Notice to Holders
(a) Prior to Certain Actions. (1) In case of any:
(A) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g) or (h); or
(B) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company;
then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the
44
Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.
(2) Voluntary Increases. If the Company increases the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 4.05(b), the Company shall deliver notice to the Holders at least 15 calendar days prior to the date on which such increase will become effective, which notice shall state the date on which such increased will become effective and the amount by which the Conversion Rate will be increased.
(b) After Certain Actions and Events. Whenever an adjustment to the Conversion Rate becomes effective pursuant to Sections 4.04, 4.05 or 4.06 hereof, the Company will (i) file with the Trustee an Officers Certificate stating that such adjustment has become effective, the Conversion Rate, and the manner in which the adjustment was computed and (ii) deliver notice to the Holders stating that such adjustment has become effective and the Conversion Rate or conversion privilege as adjusted. Failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment.

Agreement, solely to the extent of the assets therein and proceeds thereof, holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all Obligations due in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness) before the Holders of Securities will be entitled to receive any payment of principal of and interest on, the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of, or the cash portion of the Companys conversion obligation (if the Company has elected Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement) upon conversion of the Securities.
(b) To the extent any payment of Senior Indebtedness is declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be paid to any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other similar Person under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding, the Senior Indebtedness or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred and the provisions of this Article 5 will be applied accordingly.
Section 5.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness.
(a) The Company may not make any payment or distribution (other than with respect to Obligations of the Securities that are secured by a pledge of the Escrow Account in accordance with Article 7 hereof and the assets therein pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, solely to the extent of the assets therein and proceeds thereof) to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Securities and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Securities for cash or property until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full if:
(1) a default in the payment of principal, premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, or any other Obligation due on any Senior Indebtedness (a Payment Default) occurs and is continuing (including a payment that has become due as a result of the acceleration of any Senior Indebtedness); or
(2) any other default (a Nonpayment Default) occurs and is continuing on the Senior Indebtedness that permits holders of the Senior Indebtedness to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of such default (a Payment Blockage Notice) from the Company or the Representative. The Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of any Payment Blockage Notice received by it to the Company and the Company shall promptly deliver such copy to all holders of Senior Indebtedness. If the Representative shall, within 10 calendar days of their receipt thereof, deliver to the Company and the Trustee a notice rescinding such Payment Blockage Notice, such Payment Blockage Notice shall be deemed not to have been delivered for all purposes of the Indenture. If the Trustee receives any such Payment Blockage Notice, no subsequent Payment Blockage Notice will be effective for purposes of this Section 5.03 unless and until at least 365 calendar days have elapsed since the delivery of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice.
For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not prevent the Holders of the Securities from receiving payments from the Escrow Account pursuant to Article 7 hereof.
46
(b) The Company may and will resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities and may acquire them upon the earlier of:
(1) in the case of a Payment Default, upon the date upon which such default is cured or waived, and
(2) in the case of a Nonpayment Default, upon the earliest of (w) the date on which such Nonpayment Default is cured or waived, (x) 91 calendar days after the date the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, (y) 179 calendar days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received, or (z) the date the Payment Blockage Notice is rescinded, unless the maturity of the Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated (in which event the foregoing subclause (1) shall apply), if the Indenture otherwise permits such payment, distribution or acquisition at the time of such payment, distribution or acquisition.
Section 5.04 Acceleration of Securities. If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company may not make, directly or indirectly through any Subsidiary or other Person, any payment or distribution to the Trustee or any Holder in respect of Obligations with respect to the Securities and may not acquire from the Trustee or any Holder any Securities for cash or property until all principal and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Indebtedness have been paid in full or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the terms of this Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Indebtedness of any such acceleration.
Section 5.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. In the event that the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Securities at a time when the payment is prohibited by Section 5.03 or Section 5.04, such payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, as the case may be, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon proper written request, to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear or their Representative, if any, under the agreement, indenture or other document (if any) pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform only those obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set forth in this Article 5, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. The Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee pays over or distributes to or on behalf of Holders or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness are then entitled by virtue of this Article 5, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Trustee.
Section 5.06 Notice by Company. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of
47
any Obligations with respect to the Securities to violate this Article 5, but failure to give such notice will not affect the subordination of the Securities to the Senior Indebtedness as provided in this Article 5.
Section 5.07 Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders of Securities will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness pari passu with the Securities) to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Securities have been applied to the payment of Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 5 to holders of Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Securities is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Securities.
Section 5.08 Relative Rights. This Article 5 defines the relative rights of Holders of Securities and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Supplemental Indenture will:
(a) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, and interest, if any, on, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price or Redemption Price of, and to pay or deliver any amount due upon conversion of, the Securities in accordance with their terms;
(b) affect the relative rights of Holders of Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness; or
(c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Securities from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Securities.
If the Company fails because of this Article 5 to pay principal of, or interest, if any, on, the Redemption Price of, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, or to pay or deliver any amount due upon conversion of, the Securities in accordance with their terms, the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.
Section 5.09 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company. No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Holder or by the failure of the Company or any Holder to comply with this Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative or Holders of Senior Indebtedness. Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of the Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative, if they have appointed one, and if no Representative has been appointed by the holders of any series of Senior Indebtedness, such distribution or notice shall be made or given directly to such holders.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 5, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such
48
Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 5.
Section 5.11 Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 5 or any other provision of the Indenture, the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities, unless the Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least three Business Days prior to the date of such payment written notice of facts that would cause the payment of any Obligations with respect to the Securities to violate this Article 5, except for any acceleration of the Securities prior to making any such payment or distribution which is known by any officer of the Trustee prior to making any such payment or distribution. The notice may only be given by the Company or a Representative. For the avoidance of doubt, no such notice shall constitute a Payment Blockage Notice unless delivered in accordance with Section 5.03(a)(2). Nothing in this Article 5 will impair the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent, any Bid Solicitation Agent and their successors hereunder may do the same with like rights.
Section 5.12 Authorization to Effect Subordination; Filing Proof of Claim. Each Holder of Securities, by the Holders acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Holders behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 5, and appoints the Trustee to act as such Holders attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 7.13 of the Base Indenture at least 30 calendar days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the Representative is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders of the Securities.
Section 5.13 Reliance and Amendments.
(a) Each Holder of Securities by its acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that the subordination provisions set forth in this Article 5 are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration for each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness, and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold or in continuing to hold such Senior Indebtedness.
(b) The provisions of this Article 5 may not be amended or modified without the written consent of the holders of all Senior Indebtedness. In addition, any amendment to, or
49
waiver of, the provisions of this Article 5 that adversely affects the rights of the Holders of the Securities will require the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities then Outstanding.
Section 5.14 No Layering. The Company will not incur, create, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any Indebtedness that is senior in right of payment to the Securities, other than Senior Indebtedness.
Section 5.15 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. Without in any way limiting the generality of Section 5.09, the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 5 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following:
(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is outstanding;
(b) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness;
(c) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and
(d) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.
ARTICLE 6.
REDEMPTION
Section 6.01 General. Article 3 of the Base Indenture shall not apply to the Securities. Instead, the provisions set forth in this Article 6 shall, with respect to the Securities, supersede in their entirety Article 3 of the Base Indenture, and all references in the Base Indenture to Article 3 thereof shall, with respect to the Securities, be deemed to be references to the redemption provisions set forth in this Article 6.

50
(b) The redemption price at which the Securities are redeemable (the Redemption Price) shall be equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed, payable in cash, plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, payable in cash; provided, however, that if the Redemption Date is after a Regular Record Date and prior to the Interest Payment Date to which it relates, the Company will not pay accrued and unpaid interest to any Holder surrendering its Securities for redemption, and shall instead pay the full amount of the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record on the Regular Record Date.
(c) The Company may not redeem any Securities if the principal amount of the Securities has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the relevant Redemption Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a default by the Company in the payment of the Redemption Price with respect to such Securities).
Section 6.03 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed.
If less than all the Outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed in principal amounts of $1,000 or multiples of $1,000 by lot, on a pro rata basis or by another method the Trustee considers reasonable, fair and appropriate in accordance with Applicable Procedures
Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption in whole also apply to Securities called for redemption in part. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be redeemed.
If a portion of any Holders Securities is selected for redemption and such Holder has converted a portion of its Securities before termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities which have been converted during a selection of Securities to be redeemed may be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.
Section 6.04 Notice of Redemption.
At least 70 calendar days but not more than 90 calendar days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid (or, in the case of Securities held in book entry form, by electronic transmission), to the Trustee, the Paying Agent and each Holder of Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part at its last address as the same appears on the Security Register (a Redemption Notice).

Such mailing shall be by first class mail. The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. Concurrently with the mailing of any such Redemption Notice, the Company shall issue a press release announcing such redemption, the form and content of which press release shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The failure to issue any such press release or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the Redemption Notice or any of the proceedings for the redemption of any Security called for redemption.
Section 6.05 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

The Pledged Collateral shall be pledged by the Company to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the ratable benefit of the Holders and shall be held by the Escrow Agent in the Pledge Account pending disposition pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement. The Pledged Collateral shall also secure the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Company, whether now or hereafter existing, under the Securities, this Indenture and the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, including interest accrued on the Securities after the commencement of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledged Collateral shall not secure obligations of the Company to issue and deliver shares of Common Stock (or other Reference Property) upon conversion of the Securities, provided, however that the Pledged Collateral shall secure the
53
obligations of the Company to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Securities in the event of an acceleration upon an Event of Default, including a failure by the Company to comply with its obligations to convert the Securities as set forth in Section 9.02.
(b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of a Security, consents and agrees to the terms of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement (including the provisions providing for foreclosure and release of the Pledged Collateral) as such agreement may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms, and authorizes and directs the Escrow Agent and the Trustee to enter into the Pledge and Escrow Agreement and to perform their respective obligations and exercise their respective rights under such agreement in accordance therewith. The Company will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be necessary, or as may be required by the provisions of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Escrow Agent and the Trustee the security interest in the Pledged Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Pledge and Escrow Agreement or any part of such agreement, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Securities secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein and therein expressed. The Company shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions reasonably required to create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities, a valid, enforceable and perfected first priority lien in and on all the Pledged Collateral, in favor of the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Trustee and the ratable benefit of the Holders, superior to and prior to the rights of third Persons and subject to no other liens.
(c) The release of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Pledged Collateral are released pursuant to this Indenture and the Pledge and Escrow Agreement. To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act relating to the release of property or securities from the lien and security interest of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement and relating to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to the lien and security interest of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion required by Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act may be made by an Officer of the Company, except in cases where Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or other expert selected by the Company. The Company shall cause Section 314(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, relating to opinions of counsel regarding the lien under the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, to be complied with.
(d) The Escrow Agent and the Trustee may, in their sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the Holders, take all reasonable actions in accordance with the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, necessary or appropriate in order to (i) enforce any of the terms of the Pledge and Escrow Agreement and (ii) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company under such agreement. The Escrow Agent and the Trustee shall have power (but not the obligation) to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings as the they may reasonably deem expedient to preserve or protect their interests and the interests of the Holders in the Pledged Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or
54
otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders, the Escrow Agent or of the Trustee).

Section 9.03 Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 9.02(i) or Section 9.02(j) with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company)), unless the principal of all of the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, and, subject to Section 5.04 hereof, upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 9.02(i) or Section 9.02(j) with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Securities shall be immediately due and payable, subject to Section 5.04 hereof.
60
(b) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Securities (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from a failure to pay the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, or the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of a Security, the failure to pay or deliver the cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, due upon conversion of a Security, or the breach of any provision of this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder) and rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration resulting from such Defaults or Event of Defaults (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting from a failure to pay the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Redemption Price of a Security, the failure to pay or deliver the cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, due upon conversion of a Security, or the breach of any provision of this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder) and their consequences and such Default (other than a Default relating to the failure to pay principal on, accrued and unpaid interest on, or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or Redemption Price of a Security, the failure to pay or deliver the cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, due upon conversion of a Security, or the breach of any provision of this Indenture that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each affected Holder) shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, if:
(1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction; and
(2) all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Redemption Price of or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, the Securities that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof;
provided, that no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 9.04 Supplementary Interest.
(a) Notwithstanding any provisions of the Indenture to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default arising under Section 9.02(g) relating to the Companys failure to comply with Section 8.06(a) hereof (a Reporting Event of Default) will consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest on the Securities at a rate per year equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding for each day during the 180-day period during which such Reporting Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs (and has neither been waived nor cured), and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding for each day during the 185-day period beginning on, and including, the 181st day on which such Reporting Event of Default is continuing (and neither waived nor cured) (Supplementary Interest). If the Company so
61
elects, such Supplementary Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Securities. On the 366th day after the date on which the Reporting Event of Default first occurred (if such Reporting Event of Default has not been cured or waived prior to such 366th day), the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.03 hereof. In no event shall Supplementary Interest accrue at a rate per year in excess of the applicable interest rate specified in this Section 9.04(a), regardless of the number of Reporting Events of Default that could give rise to the requirement to pay Supplementary Interest. With regard to any Reporting Event of Default, no Supplementary Interest shall accrue, and no right to declare the principal or other amounts due and payable in respect of the Securities shall exist, after such Reporting Event of Default has been cured.
(b) In the event (i) the Company does not elect to pay the Supplementary Interest following a Reporting Event of Default in accordance with this Section 9.04, or (ii) the Company elects to pay the Supplementary Interest but does not pay the Supplementary Interest when due, the Securities will be subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.03 hereof.
(c) In order to elect to pay the Supplementary Interest as the sole remedy during the 365-day period after the first occurrence of a Reporting Event of Default as described in Section 9.04(a), the Company shall notify all Holders of the Securities, the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of such election prior to the beginning of such 365-day period. Upon the Companys failure to timely give such notice, the Securities will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 9.03 hereof.
(d) The provisions of this Section 9.04 will not affect the rights of Holders in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default.
Section 9.05 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (1) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Redemption Price or Fundamental Change Purchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured, (2) a failure by the Company to deliver the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (3) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 11 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected.
Section 9.06 Control by Majority. At any time, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or for exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to the Trustees duties under Article 7 of the Base Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act, that the Trustee determines to be unduly prejudicial to the rights of a Holder or to the Trustee, or that would potentially involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense to the Trustee that may result from the Trustees instituting such proceeding as the Trustee. Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Trustee will be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
62
Section 9.07 Limitation on Suits. Subject to Section 9.08 hereof, no Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:
(a) such Holder has previously delivered to the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities deliver to the Trustee a written request that the Trustee pursue a remedy with respect to such Event of Default;
(c) such Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or other expense of compliance with such written request;
(d) the Trustee has not complied with such written request within 60 calendar days after receipt of such written request and offer of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities did not deliver to the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of any other Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Holder, it being understood that the Trustee does not have any affirmative duty to ascertain whether any usage of this Indenture by a Holder is unduly prejudicial to such other Holders.
Section 9.08 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment and to Convert. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Indenture and subject to Article 5 hereof, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the principal of, interest on, the Redemption Price of, or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, its Securities, on or after the respective due date, and to convert its Securities and receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due with respect to such Securities in accordance with Article 4 hereof, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment or conversion rights, will not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder and will not be subject to the requirements of Section 9.07 hereof.
Section 9.09 Collection of Indebtedness; Suit for Enforcement by Trustee. Subject to Article 5 hereof, if an Event of Default specified in Sections 9.02(a), 9.02(b) or 9.02(c) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, interest on, the Redemption Price of, or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, and any amounts due upon the conversion of, the Securities, as the case may be, and such further amount as is sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, as well as any other amounts that may be due under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture.
Section 9.10 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any
63
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 9.11 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Trustee and the Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, will be entitled to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06 of the Base Indenture out of the estate in any such proceeding will be denied for any reason, payment of the same will be secured by a lien on, and is paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained will be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to, or to accept or to adopt on behalf of any Holder, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
Section 9.12 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 9.13 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.07 of the Base Indenture, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
64
Section 9.14 Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article 9 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained in this Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 9.15 Priorities. Subject to Article 5 hereof, if the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 9, it will pay out the money in the following order:
FIRST: to the Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 (a) of the Base Indenture, including payment of all compensation, expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of collection;
SECOND: to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company if and to the extent required by Article 5;
THIRD: to the Holders, for any amounts due and unpaid on the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest on, the Redemption Price of, or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, and any cash due upon conversion of, any Security, without preference or priority of any kind, according to such amounts due and payable on all of the Securities; and
FOURTH: the balance, if any, to the Company or to such other party as a court of competent jurisdiction directs.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section 9.15. If the Trustee so fixes a record date and a payment date, at least 15 calendar days prior to such record date, the Company will deliver to each Holder and the Trustee a written notice, which notice will state such record date, such payment date and the amount of such payment.
Section 9.16 Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder, by such Holders acceptance of a Security, shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 9.16 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, the Redemption Price of, or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for, any Security on or after the due date expressed or provided for in this Indenture or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 hereof.
65
Section 9.17 Waiver of Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants that, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, it will not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will instead suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law has been enacted.
Section 9.18 Notices from the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Base Indenture, including Section 7.14 thereof, whenever a Default occurs and is continuing and is actually known to the Trustee, the Trustee must deliver notice of such Default to the Holders within 90 calendar days after the date on which such Default first occurred. Except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price or the Redemption Price with respect to) or interest on, any Security or of a Default in the payment or delivery, as the case may be, of the consideration due upon conversion of a Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as it in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
Section 9.19 Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible, and in any event within 30 calendar days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, as applicable, an Officers Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default, its status and the action that the Company is taking or proposes to take in respect thereof. Such Officers Certificate shall also comply with any additional requirements set forth in Section 13.12 of the Base Indenture, as if such Officers Certificate were being delivered pursuant to Section 13.12 thereof.
Section 9.20 Supplementary Interest Notice. If Supplementary Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers Certificate to that effect stating (a) the amount of such Supplementary Interest that is payable and (b) the date on which such Supplementary Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Supplementary Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Supplementary Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 9.21 Standard of Care. The Trustee will be required, in the exercise of its powers as Trustee, to use the degree of care that a prudent person would use in the conduct of its own affairs. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction (x) that conflicts with law or this Indenture, (y) that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other holder, or (z) that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee will receive indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the Securities), issued under an Indenture dated as of August 14, 2012 (herein called the Base Indenture), and as further supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of August 14, 2012 (herein called the Supplemental Indenture and the Base Indenture, as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, the Indenture), by and between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, herein called the Trustee, and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Security (other than the portion representing the Securities the Company is required to repurchase as provided under Article 3 of the Supplemental Indenture) is subject to redemption at the option of the Company on or after August 15, 2016, at the Redemption Price; provided that the Last Reported Sale Price of the Companys Common Stock for 20 or more Trading Days in a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the date of the Redemption Notice exceeds 130% of the applicable Conversion Price in effect on each such Trading Day. The redemption price will equal 100% of the principal amount of the Securities being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Any Securities redeemed by the Company will be paid for in cash.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder of this Security will have the right, at such Holders option, to require the Company to purchase this Security, or any portion of this Security such that the principal amount of this Security that is not purchased equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for such Fundamental Change Purchase Date.
This Security does not benefit from a sinking fund.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option (i) during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding May 15, 2019, and (ii) on or after May 15, 2019, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert this Security or a portion of this Security such that the principal amount of this Security that is not converted equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof into an amount of cash, a number of shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, determined in accordance with Article 4 of the Supplemental Indenture.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments in respect of the Redemption Price of, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price for,

The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
Each Holder by accepting a Security agrees that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities (other than with respect to Obligations of the Securities that are secured by a pledge of the Escrow Account in accordance with Article 7 of the Supplemental Indenture and the assets therein pursuant to the Pledge and Escrow Agreement, solely to the extent of the assets therein and proceeds thereof) is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 5 of the Supplemental Indenture, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (whether outstanding on the date of the Supplemental Indenture or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Companys obligations under this Security are secured in part until August 15, 2015 by a pledge of an Escrow Account and the assets therein pursuant to a Pledge and Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Account will contain an amount of Pledged Collateral sufficient to fund, when due, the total aggregate amount of the first six scheduled semi-annual interest payments on the Security, excluding additional interest, if any.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Security, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 calendar days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this
A-5
Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price), interest on and all amounts of consideration due upon conversion of, this Security at the time, place and rate, and in the coin and currency, herein prescribed.
