(a) Section 14.01(b)(ii) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

“(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2018, the Guarantor elects to:

(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than in connection with a stockholder rights plan) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the declaration date for such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such issuance; or

(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock the Guarantor’s assets, securities or rights to purchase securities of the Guarantor, 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, in either case, the Company shall notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) at least 60 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place, in each case, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

(b) Section 14.01(b)(iii) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

“(iii) If (x) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2018, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 15.02, or (y) the Guarantor or the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its consolidated assets prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding August 15, 2018 pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, then, in each case, all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the effective date of the transaction or event until 35 Trading Days after the effective date of such transaction or event (or, if later, until 35 Trading Days after notice of the effective date of such transaction or event is given following the occurrence of such transaction or event) or, if such transaction or event also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The

 

6.


Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) within three Business Days of the occurrence of such transaction or event.”

(c) Section 14.02(c) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

“(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. The Company shall pay or cause to be delivered, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement (provided that, with respect to any Conversion Date occurring on or after August 15, 2018, the Company shall cause to be settled any such conversion on the Maturity Date), or on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any shares of Common Stock are due to converting Holders, the Company shall cause to be issued and delivered to the Conversion Agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, certificates or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary for the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Indenture, to the extent any conversion of a Note is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock, the Guarantor will deliver such shares of Common Stock to the applicable Holder. The exercise by a Holder of its right to require conversion of any of its Notes in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture shall be deemed to constitute a demand for immediate repayment by the Company of such Notes. Any such delivery by the Guarantor of shares of Common Stock in settlement of the Conversion Obligations with respect to a Note will be deemed made in exchange of satisfaction of the Guarantor’s Guarantee Obligations in respect of such Note and, as a result of such delivery, the Company will incur a debt for an equivalent amount owing to the Guarantor.”

(d) Sections 14.04(a), 14.04(b), 14.04(c), 14.04(d), 14.04(e), 14.04(j), 14.04(m), 14.08(a), 14.10 and 14.11 of the Indenture shall be amended to replace references to “the Company” with references to “the Guarantor.”

(e) Section 14.06 of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

“Section 14.06. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Guarantor shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement is applicable).”

(f) The first paragraph of Section 14.07(a) of the Indenture is hereby amended and restated in full to read as follows:

“(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a share split or combination),

 

7.


(ii) any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company or the Guarantor,

(iii) any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety, or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Merger Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event (other than with respect to a Merger Event in which the Reference Property consists solely of Common Stock), the Company, purchasing Person or the Successor Company, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(f) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1,000 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Merger Event (A) the Company, purchasing Person or Successor Company, as the case may be, shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.02 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock would have received in such Merger Event.”

(e) This Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation, reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
