Holder Lists. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish or cause the Registrar to furnish to the Trustee five (5) Business Days before each Interest Record Date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list as of such date and in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders, which list may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee, and the Company shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).

Transfer and Exchange.

To permit registration of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s or co-Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company and the Trustee may require payment to cover any transfer tax, fee or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith where required by law (other than any such transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges or transfers pursuant to 0, Article III or Article XI) or permitted pursuant to 0.

The Registrar or co-Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange of (i) any Notes (except the unredeemed portion of the Notes being redeemed in part) or a portion of any Note, selected for redemption in accordance with Article III, (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase in accordance with Article III, and (iii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for conversion in accordance with Article XI.

Any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note shall, by acceptance of such Global Note, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Notes that do not involve the issuance of a Physical Note may be effected only through a book entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Note (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the Note shall be required to be reflected in a book entry system.

Replacement Notes. If a mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Holder of a Note claims that the Note has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder must provide an indemnity bond or other indemnity of reasonable tenor, sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Company and the Trustee, to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. Every replacement Note shall constitute an additional obligation of the Company.

Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. Subject to the provisions of 0, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or any of its Affiliates holds the Note.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to 0 (other than a mutilated Note surrendered for replacement), it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser. A mutilated Note ceases to be outstanding upon surrender of such Note and replacement thereof pursuant to 0.

Treasury Notes. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver, consent or notice, Notes owned by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall be considered as though they are not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes which a Trust Officer of the Trustee has been informed in writing by the Company to be so owned shall be so considered. The Company shall notify the Trustee, in writing, when either it or, to its knowledge, any of its Affiliates repurchases or otherwise acquires Notes, of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes so repurchased or otherwise acquired and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely thereon.

 

- 20 -


Temporary Notes.

The Officers’ Certificate shall specify the amount of temporary Notes to be authenticated and the date on which the temporary Notes are to be authenticated. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of typewritten or printed Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and so indicates in the Officers’ Certificate. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate, upon receipt of a written order of the Company pursuant to 0, typewritten or printed Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment, repurchase, redemption or conversion. The Trustee, or at the direction of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent or the Conversion Agent, and no one else, shall cancel and, at the written direction of the Company, shall dispose, in its customary manner, of all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, repurchase, redemption, conversion or cancellation. Subject to 0, the Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. If the Company shall acquire any of the Notes, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Notes unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this 0.

Interest and Defaulted Amounts.

(d) Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of the form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto or from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been paid, from November 10, 2010. Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

(e) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Register at the close of business on any Interest Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date. Interest shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office. The Company shall pay interest (i) on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address as it appears in the Register and (B) to Holders having an aggregate principal amount of more than $5,000,000, either by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes or upon application by a Holder to the Registrar not later than the relevant Interest Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Note Registrar to the contrary or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

(f) The Company shall (i) pay interest on overdue principal on any Note (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and (ii) to the extent lawful, pay interest on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) (any such overdue

principal and interest, “Defaulted Amounts”). Interest shall accrue on any Defaulted Amounts at the rate of interest borne by the Notes, plus one percent from, and including, the relevant payment date to, but excluding, the date on which such Defaulted Amounts shall have been paid by the Company. Such interest on Defaulted Amounts shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and, in the case of a partial month, the actual number of days elapsed.

(g) The Company shall pay interest on any Defaulted Amounts plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on such interest (such interest, the “Defaulted Interest”), to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, which special record date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of the Defaulted Interest or the next succeeding Business Day if such date is not a Business Day. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (a “Defaulted Interest Payment Date”), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this 0; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company deposit monies proposed to be paid in respect of Defaulted Interest later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the proposed Defaulted Interest Payment Date. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, the Company shall mail (or cause to be mailed) to each Holder, as of a recent date selected by the Company, with a copy to the Trustee at least 20 days prior to such special record date, a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the Defaulted Interest Payment Date and the Defaulted Interest, and interest payable on such Defaulted Interest, if any, to be paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest which is paid prior to the expiration of the 30-day period set forth in ARTICLE VI(a) shall be paid to Holders as of the regular Interest Record Date for the Interest Payment Date for which interest has not been paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange.

CUSIP Number. In issuing the Notes, the Company may use a “CUSIP” number, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption, repurchase, conversion or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes, and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP number.

Any Notes that are, when issued, Restricted Securities shall be issued with a restricted CUSIP number. Until such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the restrictive legend specified in (h) from the Notes, the restricted CUSIP shall be the CUSIP number for the Notes. At such time as the Company notifies the Trustee to remove the restrictive legend specified in (h) from the Notes, such legend shall for all purposes of this Indenture and the Notes (including this 0) be deemed removed from any Global Note and an unrestricted CUSIP number for the Notes shall be deemed to be the CUSIP number for the Notes.

Deposit of Monies. Prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on each Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Option Purchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Company shall have deposited with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in 0), in immediately available funds, money sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Option Purchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such Interest Payment Date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, Option Purchase Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date as the case may be.

ARTICLE VI.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Events of Default.

An “Event of Default” occurs if:

(a) there is a default by the Company in the payment when due of interest (including, without limitation, Contingent Interest, Additional Interest and Restricted Transfer Default Interest, if any) on the Notes, which default continues for a period of 30 days past the applicable due date;

(b) there is a failure to deliver the Make-Whole Applicable Increase upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change as described in 0, which failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days past the applicable delivery date;

(c) there is a default by the Company in the payment when due of the principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) due with respect to the Notes, upon required repurchase, upon optional redemption, upon declaration of acceleration, or otherwise;

(d) the Company fails to timely provide a Fundamental Change Notice, as required by the provisions of this Indenture;

(e) there is a default by the Company with respect to its obligation to deliver the Conversion Consideration due upon conversion of the Notes, in accordance with 0, and such default continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days past the applicable settlement date;

(f) the Company fails to comply with its obligation to repurchase the Notes at the option of a Holder upon a Fundamental Change or on the Option Purchase Date, in each case in accordance with Article III;

(g) there is a default by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to its obligation to pay Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than any Non-Recourse Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary), which default shall have resulted in the acceleration of, or be a failure to pay at final maturity, Indebtedness aggregating more than $50 million;

(h) there is a failure by the Company to perform any other covenant or warranty of the Company herein, which continues for 30 days after written notice is provided in accordance with the requirements set forth below in this 0;

(i) final judgments or orders are rendered against the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary which require the payment by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of an amount (to the extent not covered by insurance) in excess of $50 million and such judgments or orders remain unstayed or unsatisfied for more than 60 days and are not being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings;

 

- 40 -


(j) the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that, taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), pursuant to any Bankruptcy Law applicable to the Company or such Significant Subsidiary (or such group): (A) commences a voluntary case; (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case against it; (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

(k) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any applicable Bankruptcy Law: (A) for relief in an involuntary case against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Subsidiaries that taken as a whole, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); (B) appointing a Custodian of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary (or any such group) or for any substantial part of its respective property; or (C) ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any such Significant Subsidiary (or any such group); and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

Each of the occurrences described in clauses (a) through (k) of this 0 will constitute an Event of Default whatever the reason for the occurrence and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is 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.

A Default under clause (h) of this 0 is not an Event of Default until the Trustee notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with regard to which the Company has failed to comply with a covenant or agreement notify the Company and the Trustee, of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 30 days after the giving of the notice.

The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 20 days after it occurs, written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate of any event of which the Company is aware which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (h), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect to it.

Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, unless the principal of the Notes has already become due and payable, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the outstanding principal of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest through the date of such declaration on all of the Notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon such a declaration, such outstanding principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest (including, without limitation, Contingent Interest, Additional Interest and Restricted Transfer Default Interest, if any), if any, shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in ARTICLE VI(j) or VI(k) occurs and is continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, by notice to

 

- 41 -


the Company and the Trustee (and without notice to any other Holder), may rescind any acceleration and its consequences or waive any past default if the rescission or waiver would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived, except a Default relating to the non-payment of the outstanding principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or interest (including, without limitation, Contingent Interest, Additional Interest and Restricted Transfer Default Interest, if any) on, any Note, or a failure to convert any Notes pursuant to 0, a Default arising from the failure of the Company to redeem or repurchase any Notes pursuant to Sections 0, 0 and 0, or a Default in respect of any covenant that cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders of Notes, and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

The Trustee shall, within 90 days after a Trust Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or any Event of Default, mail to all Holders, as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note register, notice of all Defaults or Events of Default known to such Trust Officer, unless such Default or Event of Default is cured or waived before the giving of such notice and provided that, except in the case of Default in the payment of the principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or interest on, any of the Notes, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a trust committee of directors and/or officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders.

Other Remedies. If an Event of Default as to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision under this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default will not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Waiver of Existing Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes, by notice to the Trustee may consent to the waiver of any past Default with regard to the Notes and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of interest or premium, if any, on, or the

principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, Notes, (ii) a failure to redeem or repurchase any Notes as required under this Indenture or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or a provision that under 0 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding. The defaults described in clauses (i) and (iii) in the previous sentence may be waived with the consent of the Holders of all Notes then outstanding. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is deemed cured and not continuing, but no waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right. Without limiting the provisions of 0, the Trustee shall be compensated by the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with any action taken by it pursuant to this 0.

Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee with regard to the Notes or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with regard to the Notes. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or, subject to 0, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any action as a result of a direction given under this Section, 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 that action.

Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. The Company covenants that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default described in ARTICLE VI(a) or VI(b), then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders, the whole amount that will then have become due and payable on all such Notes for the principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, if any, accrued and unpaid interest, if any (including, without limitation, Contingent Interest, Additional Interest and Restricted Transfer Default Interest, if any) to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law on the overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes and the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes, if any; and, in addition, such further amount as will be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of and premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.

Limitation on Suits. Subject to Article VII relating to the duties of the Trustee, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense. A Holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture unless:

(l) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing;

 

- 43 -


(m) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(n) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, loss, liability or expense;

(o) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity, and the Event of Default has not been waived; and

(p) the Trustee has received no inconsistent direction from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding during such 60-day period.

A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or deliver, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, if any, or interest, if any, specified in clause (a) or (b) of 0 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid (together with interest on that unpaid interest to the extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in 0.

Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order 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, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make payments to the Trustee and, if the Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under 0.

 

- 44 -


Restoration of Positions. If a judicial proceeding by the Trustee or a Holder to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture is dismissed or decided favorably to the Company, except as otherwise provided in the judicial proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders will be restored to the positions they would have been in if the judicial proceeding had not been instituted.

Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI with respect to the Notes, it will pay out the money or property in the following order:

FIRST: to the Trustee for amounts due under 0;

SECOND: to the Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium and interest, respectively; and

THIRD: to the Company.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to the Holders pursuant to this Section. At least 15 days before the record date, the Company will mail to each Holder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

Undertaking for Costs. 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, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This 0 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to 0, or a suit by Holders of in aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by that Holder on or after the due date provided in the Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note pursuant to Article XI of this Indenture.

Reporting Event of Default.

(q) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Notes to contrary, if:

(i) an Event of Default occurs pursuant to clause (h) of 0 solely as a result of the Company’s failure to comply with 0 (such Event of Default, a “Reporting Event of Default”); and

 

- 45 -


(ii) on or before the close of business on the date on which such Reporting Event of Default first occurs, the Company notifies, in writing, each Holder and the Trustee and Paying Agent that it elects the provisions of this 0 to apply with respect to such Reporting Event of Default (such notice, the “Reporting Event of Default Election Notice”),

then:

(A) the sole remedy for such Reporting Event of Default during the period consisting of the one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days after the date such Reporting Event of Default occurs shall consist exclusively of the payment of additional interest (“Additional Interest”) on each Note at a rate of 0.50% per annum on the principal amount of each Note;

(B) such Additional Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes;

(C) such Additional Interest shall accrue interest from, and including, the date of such Reporting Event of Default first occurs to, but excluding, the 180th day thereafter or, if earlier, the date on which such Reporting Event of Default shall have been cured or waived; and

(D) on the 180th day following the date such Reporting Event of Default first occurs, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in 0 if such Reporting Event of Default is not cured or waived prior to such date.

(r) In the event that the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following a Reporting Event of Default in accordance with this 0, the Notes shall be subject to acceleration as provided in 0.

(s) The provisions of this 0 shall not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any other Event of Default. The provisions of this 0 shall not be applicable in the event that the failure to comply with reporting obligations that gives rise to an Event of Default also gives rise to a default under, and results in the acceleration of, other indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness that is non-recourse to the Company or any Subsidiary), in which case the Event of Default shall be subject to the remedies that are otherwise applicable as provided herein.

(t) The Additional Interest that is payable in accordance with this 0 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Restricted Transfer Default Interest that may be payable pursuant to 0.

 

- 46 -


Restricted Transfer Default.

(u) If either:

(i) at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date on which any of the Notes are originally issued, (a) the Company fails to file timely any document or report that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods under SEC rules and other than current reports on Form 8-K), (b) the Company fails to submit electronically and post on its website every information data file the Company is required to submit and post, or (c) the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than the Affiliates of the Company (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes); or

(ii) at any time after the first anniversary of the last date on which any of the Notes are originally issued, the restrictive legend on a Holder’s Notes specified in 0 is not removed in response to a prior request from the Holder, or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than Affiliates of the Company (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes)

(each event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) being a “Restricted Transfer Default”), and the Company has not cured any such Restricted Transfer Default within 14 calendar days following the occurrence of such Restricted Transfer Default (that date being the “Restricted Transfer Triggering Date”), then the Company shall pay additional interest (“Restricted Transfer Default Interest”) on the Notes until the Restricted Transfer Default is cured. Restricted Transfer Default Interest on the Notes shall accrue with respect to the first 90-day period (or portion thereof) following the Restricted Transfer Triggering Date at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period during which such Restricted Transfer Default is continuing, which rate shall increase by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes for each subsequent 90-day period (or portion thereof) until all Restricted Transfer Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes. Restricted Transfer Default Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes. Following the cure of all Restricted Transfer Defaults, the accrual of Restricted Transfer Default Interest arising from Restricted Transfer Defaults shall cease.

(v) If, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on a Holder’s Notes specified in 0 is not removed in response to a prior request from the Holder, or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable by Holders other than Affiliates of the Company (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities law or the terms of the Indenture or the Notes), the Company may elect to designate an effective shelf registration statement for the resale of the Notes or any shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. Restricted Transfer Default Interest will not accrue for any day on which such registration statement remains effective and usable by Holders for the resale of the Notes or any Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes. Any such registration will be effected on terms that are customary with regard to convertible notes that are offered in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

 

- 47 -


(w) If Restricted Transfer Default Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to ARTICLE VI(u), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Restricted Transfer Default Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Restricted Transfer Default Interest is payable. Unless and until a Trust Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Restricted Transfer Default Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Restricted Transfer Default 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.

(x) The Restricted Transfer Default Interest that is payable in accordance with this 0 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Additional Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company’s election pursuant to 0.

Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law, wherever enacted, now or at any subsequent time in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, and/or interest on any of the Notes as contemplated in this Indenture, or which may affect the covenants or 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 agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted to the Trustee in this Indenture, but (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) will suffer and permit the execution of any such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Liability of Stockholders, Officers, Directors and Incorporators. No stockholder, officer, director, employee, incorporator or partner of the Company, as such, past, present or future, of the Company, or any of its successor corporations, will have any personal liability in respect of the Company’s obligations under this Indenture or any Notes by reason of his or its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee, incorporator or partner; provided, however, that nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes will prevent recourse to and enforcement of the liability of any stockholder or subscriber to Capital Stock in respect of shares of Capital Stock which have not been fully paid up.

ARTICLE VII.

TRUSTEE

Duties of Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee will exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 

- 48 -


(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed in them, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture in the absence of bad faith on the Trustee’s part; provided, however, that in the case of any such certificate or opinion which by any provision hereof is specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, then the Trustee will examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they substantially conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculation or other facts stated therein).

(ii) the Trustee will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(iv) the Trustee will not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties under this Indenture or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it has reasonable grounds to believe repayment of the funds or adequate indemnity against the risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

(d) Every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee is subject to the provisions of this 0 and to the provisions of the TIA.

(e) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Rights of Trustee.

 

- 49 -


(g) The Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

(i) The Trustee may act through agents or attorneys and will not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(j) The Trustee will not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers, except conduct which constitutes willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

(l) The Trustee will not be required to investigate any facts or matters stated in any document, but if it decides to investigate any matters or facts, the Trustee or its agents or attorneys will be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company at the sole cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation.

(m) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

(n) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

(o) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture.

(p) The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default except any Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of 0 if, at the time of the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, the Trustee is the Paying Agent, unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by a Trust Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

(q) The permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as duties.

 

- 50 -


(r) Any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution.

Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, Registrar, Conversion Agent, co-Registrar, co-Paying Agent or co-Conversion Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 0 and 0.

Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee (i) is not responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, (ii) will not be accountable for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes, and (iii) will not be responsible for any statement of the Company in this Indenture, other than the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, or in any document used in the sale of the Notes, other than statements, if any, provided in writing by the Trustee for use in such a document.

Notice of Defaults. The Trustee will give to the Holders notice of any Default with regard to the Notes known to the Trustee, within 90 days after it occurs; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee will be protected in withholding notice of the Default if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that the withholding of the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Reports by Trustee. Within 60 days after each November 30 beginning with the November 30 following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee will mail to each Holder, at the name and address which appears on the registration books of the Company, and to each Holder who has, within the two years preceding the mailing, filed that person’s name and address with the Trustee for that purpose and each Holder whose name and address have been furnished to the Trustee pursuant to 0, a brief report dated as of that November 30 which complies with TIA Section 313(a). The Trustee also will comply with TIA Section 313(b).

Compensation and Indemnity. The Company will pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services as the Company and Trustee shall from time to time agree in writing. The Trustee’s compensation will not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company will reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or disbursements and advances made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its services. Those expenses will include the reasonable compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents, counsel, accountants and experts. The Company will indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by it in connection with the administration of the trust created by this Indenture and the performance of its duties under this Indenture. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section. The Company will defend the claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company will pay the fees

 

- 51 -


and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, expense or liability incurred by the Trustee to the extent it is due to the Trustee’s own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

To secure the Company’s obligation to make payments to the Trustee under this 0, the Trustee will have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, other than money or property held in trust to pay principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or interest on, the Notes.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (j) or (k) of 0 occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services of the Trustee are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

For purposes of this 0, “Trustee” will include any predecessor Trustee, but the willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith of any Trustee will not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this 0.

The provisions of this 0 shall survive the termination of this Indenture.

Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(s) the Trustee fails to comply with 0;

(t) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(u) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(v) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

No removal or appointment of a Trustee will be valid if that removal or appointment would conflict with any law applicable to the Company.

A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee will, subject to the lien provided for in 0, transfer all property held by it as a Trustee to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. A successor Trustee will mail notice of its succession to each Holder.

 

- 52 -


If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee (at the expense of the Company), the Company or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee fails to comply with 0, any Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

Notwithstanding the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s obligations under 0 will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.

Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust assets to, another Person, the resulting, surviving or transferee Person will, without any further act, be the successor Trustee.

If at the time a successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to the Trustee succeeds to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Notes have been authenticated but not delivered, the successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of the predecessor Trustee, and deliver the Notes which were authenticated by the predecessor Trustee; and if at that time any of the Notes have not been authenticated, the successor to the Trustee may authenticate those Notes either in the name of the predecessor or in its own name as the successor to the Trustee; and in either case the certificates of authentication will have the full force provided in this Indenture for certificates of authentication.

Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee will at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a). The Trustee will at all times have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million as set forth in its most recently published annual report of condition, which will be deemed for this paragraph to be its combined capital and surplus. The Trustee will comply with TIA Section 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9).

Preferential Collection of Claims. The Trustee will comply with TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed will be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

ARTICLE VIII.

DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

Termination of the Company’s Obligations. When the Company shall deliver to the Trustee for cancellation all Notes theretofore authenticated (other than any Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and in lieu of or in substitution for which other Notes shall have been authenticated and delivered) and not theretofore canceled, then this Indenture shall cease to

 

- 53 -


be of further effect with respect to the Notes (except as to the rights, obligations and immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture which expressly provide that they survive such termination), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as required by 0 and at the cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to the Notes; the Company, however, hereby agrees to reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and properly incurred by the Trustee, and to compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee, in connection with this Indenture or the Notes.

Officers’ Certificate; Opinion of Counsel. Upon any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under 0, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with, and an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all such conditions precedent have been complied with.

Each such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant pursuant to the previous paragraph shall comply with the provisions of Section 13.2.

ARTICLE IX.

(g) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes;

(h) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary for this Indenture to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar federal statute hereafter enacted; or

With Consent of Holders. The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Holder but with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes without notice to any Holder. However, without the consent of the Holder so affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to 0, may:

(j) extend the Maturity Date of any Note;

(k) reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest (including, without limitation, Contingent Interest, Additional Interest and Restricted Transfer Default Interest, if any) on any Note;

(l) reduce any principal amount of any Note, the Redemption Price, the Option Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, or change the time at which or circumstances under which the Notes may or shall be repurchased or redeemed;

(n) change the currency in which any Note is payable;

(o) adversely affect the repurchase option of a Holder or the conversion rights of any Note under Article XI, or reduce the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock or any other property receivable upon conversion of any Note in accordance with Article XI;

(r) reduce the percentage of Notes required to consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(s) make any change in 0 or 0 or the second sentence of this Section; or

(t) release any Guarantor except as provided in Article X hereof.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, without the consent of Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, no amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to 0, may reduce the percentage of Notes required to consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver.

It will not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it will be sufficient if the consent approves the substance of the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Form of Amendment. After an amendment under this Article IX becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders a notice briefly describing the amendment. The failure to give such notice to all Holders, or any defect in a notice, will not impair or affect the validity of an amendment under this Section.

Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes will comply with the TIA as then in effect.

Revocation and Effect of Consents. A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder will bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to the Holder’s Note or portion of a Note. For a revocation to be effective, the Trustee must receive notice of the revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms, it will bind every Holder of every Note.

Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of the Notes, the Trustee may require the Holder of a Note to deliver the Holder’s Note to the Trustee, who will place an appropriate notation about the amendment, supplement or waiver on the Note and will return it to the Holder. Alternatively, the Company may, in exchange for the Note, issue, and the Trustee will authenticate, a new Note that reflects the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee will sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to Article II or this Article IX if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does adversely affect those rights, liabilities or immunities, the Trustee may but need not sign it. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the amendment or supplement is approved by an appropriate Board Resolution.

 

- 56 -


In signing such amendment the Trustee shall receive indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and shall receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by 0, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the TIA.

ARTICLE X.

GUARANTEE OF NOTES

Unconditional Guarantee. Each Guarantor, if any, hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (such guarantee to be referred to herein as a “Guarantee”) to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that: (a) all amounts due with respect to the Notes shall be duly and punctually paid in full when due, whether upon conversion, at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and (to the extent permitted by law) interest, if any, on the Notes and all other obligations of the Company or the Guarantors to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder and all other obligations shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, or failing performance of any other obligation of the Company to the Holders under this Indenture or under the Notes, for whatever reason, each Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. An Event of Default under this Indenture or the Notes shall constitute an event of default under each Guarantee, and shall entitle the Holders of Notes to accelerate the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder in the same manner and to the same extent as the obligations of the Company.

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, any release of any other Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same, whether or not a Guarantee is affixed to any particular Note, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each of the Guarantors hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, this Indenture and each Guarantee. Each Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on

 

- 57 -


the one hand, and the Holders of Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (a) subject to this Article X, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article VI hereof for the purposes of each Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of each Guarantee.

No stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past, present or future, of any Guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under any Guarantee by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, officer, director, employee or incorporator.

Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount pro rata, based on the net assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

Limitations on Guarantees; Release or Suspension of Particular Guarantors’ Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee will be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantors in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantors under their Guarantees or pursuant to their contribution obligations under this Indenture, will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.

Additionally, if any Guarantor is released from its guarantee (rather than a suspension of its guarantee) of the outstanding Indebtedness of the Company or the obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary as a guarantor of the Company’s Indebtedness, such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations as Guarantor, and from and after such date, such Guarantor shall cease to constitute a Guarantor and a Restricted Subsidiary.

The obligations of a Guarantor will be automatically suspended, and such Guarantor shall not constitute a guarantor and shall not have any obligations with regard to the Notes, during any period when the principal amount of the Company’s obligations and any Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations as a guarantor of the Company’s obligations, in each case other than the Notes and other Indebtedness containing provisions similar to this, that the Guarantor is guaranteeing total less than $75 million.

Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To further evidence the Guarantee set forth in ARTICLE X(a), each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto. Such Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer or agent of each Guarantor, each of whom, in each case, shall have been duly authorized to so execute by all requisite corporate action. The validity and enforceability of any Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any Note or Notes.

 

- 58 -


If an officer or agent of a Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates a Note to which such Guarantee relates or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Note shall be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of each Guarantor.

Release of a Guarantor due to Extraordinary Events. If no Default exists or would exist under this Indenture, upon the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, or all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor (including by consolidation, merger, issuance or otherwise), by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, or upon the consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into any Person (in each case, other than to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary), or if any Guarantor is dissolved or liquidated, such Guarantor and each Subsidiary of such Guarantor that is also a Guarantor, or the Person acquiring such assets (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor), shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all of its obligations under this Article X without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Company or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee of the Notes under this Article X.

Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Waiver of Subrogation. Until this Indenture is discharged and all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and such Guarantor’s obligations under its Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of Notes under the Notes, this Indenture, or any other document or instrument delivered under or in connection with such agreements or instruments, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and

 

- 59 -


applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this 0 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of the Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are and shall be absolute and unconditional and any monies or amounts expressed to be owing or payable by each Guarantor hereunder which may not be recoverable from such Guarantor on the basis of a Guarantee shall be recoverable from such Guarantor as a primary obligor and principal debtor in respect thereof.

Obligations Continuing. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of its continued liability hereunder and under any other instrument or instruments in such form as counsel to the Trustee may advise and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default hereunder being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

Obligations Not Reduced. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 0 and 0, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged except solely by the payment of such principal (including, without limitation, the Redemption Price, Option Purchase Price and Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article VIII be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Notes or this Indenture.

Obligations Reinstate. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment which would otherwise have reduced the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of a Guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from the Trustee or any of the Holders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Company is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, all such Indebtedness otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by each Guarantor as provided herein.

 

- 60 -


Obligations Not Affected. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 0 and 0, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by any Guarantor or any of the Holders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Holders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

(c) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Company or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Company or any other Person;

(d) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other document or instrument;

(e) any failure of the Company, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, or to give notice thereof to a Guarantor;

(f) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Company or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

(g) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(h) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Notes or this Indenture, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in any amount due with respect to any of the Notes;

(i) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Company or a Guarantor;

(j) any merger or amalgamation of the Company or a Guarantor with any Person or Persons;

(k) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Obligations or the obligations of a Guarantor under its Guarantee; and

 

- 61 -


(l) any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes or of a Guarantor in respect of its Guarantee hereunder.

Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of ARTICLE X(a) hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of any Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Holders upon the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Company, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Company or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

No Obligation to Take Action Against the Company. Neither the Trustee nor any other Person shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Obligations or against the Company or any other Person or any Property of the Company or any other Person before the Trustee is entitled to demand payment and performance by any or all Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under their Guarantees or under this Indenture.

Dealing with the Company and Others. The Holders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may:

(m) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(n) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or from perfecting security or collateral of the Company;

(o) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Company or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by this Indenture or the Notes;

(p) accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;

(q) apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the Obligations as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and

(r) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

Default and Enforcement. If any Guarantor fails to pay in accordance with ARTICLE X(a) hereof, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee hereunder in the enforcement of the Guarantee of any such Guarantor and such Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and hereunder by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from such Guarantor the obligations.

 

- 62 -


Amendment, etc. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Indenture relating to any Guarantor or consent to any departure by any Guarantor or any other Person from any such provision will in any event be effective or affect the obligation of any other Guarantor unless it is signed by such Guarantor and the Trustee.

Acknowledgment. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges communication of the terms of this Indenture and the Notes and consents to and approves of the same.

Costs and Expenses. Each Guarantor shall pay on demand by the Trustee any and all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees) incurred by the Trustee, its agents, advisors and counsel or any of the Holders in enforcing any of their rights under any Guarantee.

No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Guarantor under any other agreement, including, without limitation, this Indenture. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes or the Guarantees, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes or the Guarantees preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges in the Guarantee and under this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to the survival of any of the other obligations of each Guarantor hereunder, the obligations of each Guarantor under ARTICLE X(a) shall survive until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and shall be enforceable against such Guarantor without regard to and without giving effect to any defense, right of offset or counterclaim available to or which may be asserted by the Company or any Guarantor.

Guarantee in Addition to Other Obligations. The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee and this Indenture are in addition to and not in substitution for any other obligations to the Trustee or to any of the Holders in relation to this Indenture or the Notes and any guarantees or security at any time held by or for the benefit of any of them.

Severability. Any provision of this Article X which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate the remaining provisions and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction unless its removal would substantially defeat the basic intent, spirit and purpose of this Indenture and this Article X.

Successors and Assigns. Each Guarantee shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Guarantor and the Trustee and the Holders and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Guarantor may assign any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

ARTICLE XI.

CONVERSION

General. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of Article III and this Article XI, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of the principal amount of a Note, if such portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount, (i) at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2020, subject to satisfaction of the conditions, circumstances and during the periods described in Section 11.2(a), and (ii) whether or not the conditions described in Section 11.2(a) exist, on or after September 15, 2020 and prior to the close of business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 45.1794 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Conversion Rate”) per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (subject to the settlement provisions of 0, the “Conversion Obligation”). The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 0 through 0.

Section 11.2 Conversion Privilege.

(a) (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2020, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion during the five Business Day period immediately after any five consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this subsection (a)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day. The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection (a)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent of the three independent nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price of the Notes unless the Company has requested such determination, and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock and the Conversion Rate, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per Note is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock and the Conversion Rate. If the Company does not instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price of the Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less

 

- 64 -


than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock and the Conversion Rate on each day of such failure. If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee). If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock and the applicable Conversion Rate, the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).

(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2020, the Company elects to:

(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of its Class A Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A 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; or

(B) distribute to all or substantially all holders of its Class A Common Stock assets of the Company, debt securities or rights to purchase securities of the Company, 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 Class A 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 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance or distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) 5:00 p.m. New York City time 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, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.

(iii) If 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 December 20, 2015, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase the Notes pursuant to Section 3.12, or if the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or transfer or lease of all or substantially all of its assets, pursuant to which the Class A Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (or, if later, the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction) until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of

 

- 65 -


such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall notify Holders and the Trustee (i) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or (ii) if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within one Business Day 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.

(iv) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2020, the Notes may be surrendered for conversion during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ending on November 30, 2010 (and only during such fiscal quarter), if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A 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 on each applicable Trading Day. The Company shall determine at the beginning of each fiscal quarter commencing after November 30, 2010 whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this clause (iv) and shall notify the Trustee if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this clause (iv).

(v) If the Company calls any or all of the Notes for redemption pursuant to Article III prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding September 15, 2020, then Holders may surrender Notes that have been so called for redemption at any time prior to the close of business on the Scheduled Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at that time. After that time, the right to convert shall expire, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of Notes may convert its Notes until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for.

Conversion Procedure and Payment upon Conversion.

(b) If a Note is tendered for conversion in accordance with this Article XI, then:

(i) Subject to this 0, Section 11.2(w) and Section 11.2(ee), upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Class A Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock in accordance with subsection (g) of this 0 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock in accordance with subsection (g) of this 0 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this 0 (such cash, shares of Class A Common Stock or combination thereof, the “Conversion Consideration”).

 

- 66 -


(A) All conversions occurring on or after September 15, 2020 and after the Company’s issuance of a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Notes and prior to the related Redemption Date shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

(B) Prior to September 15, 2020, except for any conversions that occur after the Company’s issuance of a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Notes but prior to the related Redemption Date, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions occurring on the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions that occur on different Trading Days.

(C) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or the period beginning on, but excluding, September 15, 2020 and ending on, and including, the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, as the case may be), the Company elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company, through the Trustee, shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions occurring (x) after the date of issuance of a Notice of Redemption with respect to the Notes and prior to the related Redemption Date, in such Notice of Redemption or (y) on or after September 15, 2020, no later than September 15, 2020). If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall 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 Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to $1,000. Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount. If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount shall be deemed to be $1,000.

 

- 67 -


(D) The cash, shares of Class A Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(1) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be converted, divided by $1,000, and (2) the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date;

(2) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(3) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 20 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period.

(ii) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the applicable Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional share, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) in writing of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of Class A Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(iii) The Person in whose name any shares of Class A Common Stock constituting the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion shall be treated as the stockholder of record of such shares as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date of such conversion (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be, and either stock certificates shall be delivered, or a book-entry transfer through the Depositary shall be made, to such Person for such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.

 

- 68 -


(iv) except as provided in Section 11.13 and in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or similar change to the Class A Common Stock in accordance with Section 11.10, the Company shall pay or deliver, 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, or on the third Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any shares of Class A Common Stock are due to converting Holders, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver 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 Class A Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation; and

(v) on and after the Conversion Date for such conversion, all rights of the Holder(s) of such Note with respect to such Note shall terminate, other than the right to receive the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion in accordance with this Indenture.

(c) To convert a Note that is a Physical Note, a Holder must do each of the following:

(i) complete and manually sign the Conversion Notice on the back of the Note, or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice, and deliver such Conversion Notice to the Conversion Agent;

(ii) surrender the Note to the Conversion Agent;

(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;

(iv) pay all transfer or similar taxes, if any, as required by 0; and

(v) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in clause (c) of this 0.

If a Holder’s interest in a Note is a beneficial interest in a Global Note, in order to convert the Holder must comply with the last three requirements listed above for conversions of Physical Notes and comply with the Depositary’s procedures for converting a beneficial interest in a Global Note. No Conversion Notice with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Purchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and not validly withdrawn such Purchase Notice in accordance with Section 3.12.

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 above in this clause (b) with respect to such Note. From and after the Conversion Date, such Note shall cease to be outstanding, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Note unless there shall be a Default in the payment or delivery of the Conversion Consideration payable hereunder upon such conversion; provided, however, that an exchange in lieu of conversion in accordance with 0 shall not be deemed to be a conversion for purposes of this paragraph.

 

- 69 -


A Holder may obtain copies of the required form of Conversion Notice from the Conversion Agent.

(d) Upon conversion of a Note in accordance with this Article XI, the Holder of such Note shall not be entitled to receive, on account of such conversion, any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, except as provided in the immediately following sentence. The Company’s delivery of the Conversion Consideration due upon any conversion of a Note will be deemed to satisfy in full the Company’s obligation to pay (i) the principal amount of such Note, and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Conversion Date of such conversion. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. If a Holder surrenders a Note for conversion after the close of business on an Interest Record Date and prior to the opening of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Note on such Interest Payment Date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Note at the close of business on such Interest Record Date; provided, however, that such Note, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the portion of such Note to be so converted, except that no such payment is required (i) if the Company shall have specified a Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after such Interest Record Date and on or prior to such Interest Payment Date, (ii) if the Conversion Date for such conversion is after the Interest Record Date that immediately precedes the Maturity Date, or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Interest, if any Defaulted Interest exist as of the Conversion Date (it being understood that nothing in this Section 11.2(d) shall affect the Company’s obligations under 0).

(e) If a Holder converts more than one Note at the same time, the number of full shares of Class A Common Stock issuable, if any, upon such conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of all Notes converted.

(f) Upon surrender of a Note that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Note equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Note surrendered.

(g) If the last day on which a Note may be converted is not a Business Day, then the Note may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

(h) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Class A Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of any fractional share of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP of the Class A Common Stock on the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on

 

- 70 -


the Daily VWAP on the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the applicable Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

Taxes On Conversion. If a Holder converts its Note, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue of shares of Class A Common Stock upon such conversion, if any, unless the tax is due because such Holder requests that the shares of Class A Common Stock be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name, in which case such Holder shall pay such tax. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.

Company to Provide Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Class A Common Stock or Class A Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Class A Common Stock to permit the conversion, in accordance herewith, of all of the outstanding Notes (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).

All shares of Class A Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Notes shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.

The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Class A Common Stock, if applicable, upon conversion of Notes.

Conversion Rate Adjustments. The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment from time to time only as set forth below; provided, however, that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Conversion Rate if Holders participate (as a result of holding the Notes, and at the same time as the holders of the Class A Common Stock participate) in any of the transactions described below as if such Holders held a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the event that otherwise would result in a Conversion Rate adjustment, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder, without having to convert their notes.

(i) If the Company issues shares of Class A Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of Class A Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

- 71 -


where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;

CR’ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be;

OS(0) = the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the effective date of such share split or share combination, as the case may be; and

OS’ = the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 11.2(i) shall become effective immediately after (x) the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution or (y) the open of business on the date on which such split or combination becomes effective, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution described in Section 11.2(i) is declared but not so paid or made, the new 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 Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(j) If the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock any rights or warrants entitling them to purchase, for a period of not more than 45 days after the declaration date for the distribution, shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Class A Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula (provided that the Conversion Rate will be readjusted to the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration):

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

OS(0) = the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

- 72 -


X = the total number of shares of the Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants; and

Y = the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the Declaration Date for such distribution.

To the extent such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or termination, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so issued, then the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. For the purposes of this Section 11.2(j) in determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Class A Common Stock at less than the Last Reported Sale Price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date of such distribution, and in determining the aggregate exercise price payable for such shares of Class A Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants and any amount payable upon exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, as shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

Any increase made under this Section 11.2(j) will be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants are distributed and shall become effectively immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date. If any right or warrant described in this Section 11.2(j) is not exercised or converted prior to the expiration of the exercisability or convertibility thereof, the new Conversion Rate shall be decreased 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 the Class A Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights or warrants are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to distribute such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution had not occurred.

(k) If the Company distributes shares of capital stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s capital stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Class A Common Stock, excluding:

(i) dividends, distributions, rights or warrants as to which such an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 11.2(i) and Section 11.2(j);

(ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which such an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 11.2(l) below; and

 

- 73 -


(iii) spin-offs to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 11.2(k) shall apply,

(any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness or 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 will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

CR’ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

SP(0) = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the ten 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 in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the shares of capital stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Class A Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 11.2(k) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP(0)” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Class A Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.

Such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the open for business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

- 74 -


With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11.2(k) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Class A Common Stock of shares of capital stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit that are, or when issued, will be, traded on a U.S. national securities exchange, (each, a “spin-off”) the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off will be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off;

CR’ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off;

FMV(0) = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the capital stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Class A Common Stock applicable to one share of the Class A Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off; and

MP(0) = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the first ten consecutive Trading Day period immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off.

Such adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11.2(k) shall occur immediately after the tenth Trading Day immediately following, and including, the effective date of the spin-off; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days following the effective date of any spin-off, references within the portion of this Section 11.2(k) related to “spin-offs” to ten trading days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the effective date of such spin-off and the relevant Conversion Date.

For purposes of this Section 11.2(k) (and subject in all respect to 0), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all holders of its Class A Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Class A Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Class A Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Class A Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 11.2(k) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.2(k) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Conversion Rate shall be

 

- 75 -


made under this Section 11.2(k). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 11.2(k) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by a holder or holders of Class A Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Class A Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 11.2(i), Section 11.2(j) and this Section 11.2(k), any dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.2(k) is applicable that also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock to which Section 11.2(i) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 11.2(j) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 11.2(k) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 11.2(k) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 11.2(i) and Section 11.2(j) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Class A Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or effective date” within the meaning of Section 11.2(i) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 11.2(j).

 

- 76 -


(l) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Class A Common Stock (excluding any regular quarterly cash dividend on the Class A Common Stock to the extent that the aggregate amount of such regular quarterly cash dividend per share of the Class A Common Stock does not exceed $0.04 for the relevant quarterly period) ($0.04 being the “Reference Dividend Amount”), the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

CR’ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend for such dividend or distribution;

SP(0) = the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

C = the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to holders of Class A Common Stock that exceeds the Reference Dividend Amount.

Such an adjustment to the conversion rate made pursuant to this Section 11.2(l) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the applicable dividend or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP(0)” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Class A Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution. If any dividend or distribution described in this Section 11.2(l) is declared but not so paid or made, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

The Reference Dividend Amount shall be subject to adjustment in a manner inversely proportional to adjustments to the Conversion Rate; provided that no adjustment shall be made to the Reference Dividend Amount for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11.2(l).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an adjustment is required to be made under this Section 11.2(l) as a result of a distribution that is not a regular quarterly dividend, the Reference Dividend Amount will be deemed to be zero.

 

- 77 -


(m) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Class A Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Class A Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

where,

CR(0) = the Conversion Rate in effect at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

CR’ = the new Conversion Rate in effect immediately following the last Trading Day of the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

AC = the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Class A Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS(0) = the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Class A Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

OS’ = the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration of such tender or exchange offer (after giving effect to the purchase or exchange of shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to such tender or exchange offer); and

SP’ = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Class A Common Stock over the ten consecutive Trading Day period commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 11.2(m) shall become effective immediately following the tenth Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that, for purposes of determining the Conversion Rate in respect of any conversion during the ten Trading Days following the date that any tender or exchange offer expires, references within this Section 11.2(m) to ten Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date such tender or exchange offer expires and the relevant Conversion Date. If the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Class A Common Stock pursuant to any such tender or exchange offer but are permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchase or all such purchases are rescinded, the new Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would be in effect if such tender or exchange offer had not been made.

 

- 78 -


(n) Notwithstanding anything in this 0 to the contrary, if any dividend or distribution subject to Section 11.2(i), Section 11.2(k) or Section 11.2(l) is declared but not so paid or made, then the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(o) If at any time the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or such other securities exchange as may be the principal exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is traded, require stockholder approval of the issuance of Class A Common Stock on conversion of the Notes, during the period when that stockholder approval is required by such exchange, unless and until the Company’s stockholders have given the required approval, the Company will elect Cash Settlement for all conversions of Notes, or, if Combination Settlement of particular conversions would not require stockholder approval, the Company will elect either Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement for those conversions.

(p) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date as described above, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related record date would be treated as the record holder of shares of Class A Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under 0 based on an adjusted Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the foregoing Conversion Rate adjustment provisions, the Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date will not be made for such converting Holder. Instead, such Holder will be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Class A Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(q) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in subsections (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (g) above, the Company may, subject to any applicable stock exchange listing requirements, increase the Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. Any such determination by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive. The Company may, in its sole discretion, increase the Conversion Rate as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Class A Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of Capital Stock (or rights to acquire Capital Stock) or from any event treated as such for tax purposes. Whenever the Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note at its last address appearing on the Register a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(r) The Company shall not effect a share split or share combination of the Class B Common Stock, or make any dividend, distribution, payment on liquidation or other payment, whether in cash or shares or otherwise, to holders of Class B Common Stock, unless the Company effects an equivalent share split or share combination of the Class A Common Stock or makes an equivalent dividend, distribution, payment on liquidation or other payment to holders of Class A Common Stock, as the case may be, except that in the case of dividends or other distributions payable in Capital Stock of the Company other than the preferred stock of the Company, par value $10.00 per share, the Board of Directors may determine that the stock distributed with respect to the Class A Common Stock will be additional shares of the Class A Common Stock and the stock distributed with respect to the Class B Common Stock will be additional shares of Class B Common Stock.

No Adjustment.

(s) No adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made except as specifically set forth in this Article XI.

(t) No adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Article XI shall be required unless the adjustment would require a change of at least one percent (1.0%) in the Conversion Rate. However, any adjustments which are not required to be made because they would have required an increase or decrease of less than one percent (1.0%) shall be carried forward and be made on the first to occur of (i) any subsequent adjustment, (ii) the first day of the next calendar year and (iii) any conversion of the Notes.

(u) Except as expressly provided in this Article XI, the Company shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class A Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities; provided, however, that if the application of the Conversion Rate adjustment provisions of 0 would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, then no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made (other than as a result of a share combination).

(v) Without limiting the foregoing, the Conversion Rate will not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Class A Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock or options or rights to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program or employee stock purchase plan of or assumed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Class A Common Stock; or

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

 

- 80 -


Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted the Company shall mail, within at least fifteen (15) calendar days following such adjustment, a notice of such adjustment to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.

Adjustment of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Board of Directors shall 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 Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges or Sales on Conversion.

(w) In the event of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Class A Common Stock;

(ii) a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or combination involving the Company;

(iii) a sale, lease or conveyance to another Person or entity of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or

(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, in which the holders of Class A Common Stock would be entitled to receive stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) for their Class A Common Stock (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 Class A 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 Class A Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Merger Event and, 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 pursuant to ARTICLE IX(c) 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 shall continue to have the right to

 

- 81 -


determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with 0 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with 0 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Class A Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with 0 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Class A Common Stock would have been entitled to receive 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 (1) share of Class A Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such transaction. If the holders receive only cash in such Merger Event, then for all conversions that occur after the effective date of such Merger Event (x) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Make-Whole Applicable Increase pursuant to 0), multiplied by the price paid per share of Class A Common Stock in such Merger Event and (y) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Scheduled Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date.

(x) The supplemental indenture referred to in clause (a) of this 0 shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Rate which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Rate provided for in this Article XI. The foregoing, however, shall not in any way affect the right a Holder of a Note may otherwise have, pursuant to 0, to receive rights or warrants upon conversion of a Note. If the Reference Property includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such transaction, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing.

(y) The provisions of this 0 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.

(z) In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this 0, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of Reference Property receivable by Holders of the Notes upon the conversion of their Notes after such transaction and any adjustments to the Conversion Rate to be made on account of such Transaction.

(aa) In connection with any Merger Event, the Reference Dividend Amount shall be subject to adjustment as described in clause (A), clause (B) or clause (C) below, as the case may be.

(A) In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to Section 11.2(w) above and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed entirely of shares of common stock (the “Merger Common Stock”), the Reference Dividend Amount at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to (x) the Reference Dividend Amount immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, divided by (y) the number of shares of Merger Common Stock that a holder of one share of Class A Common Stock would receive in such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to nearest cent).

 

- 82 -


(B) In the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to Section 11.2(w) above and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed in part of shares of Merger Common Stock, the Reference Dividend Amount at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to (x) the Reference Dividend Amount immediately prior to the effective time of such Merger Event, multiplied by (y) the Merger Valuation Percentage for such Merger Event (such quotient rounded down to nearest cent).

(C) For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of a Merger Event in which the Reference Property (determined, as appropriate, pursuant to subsection (a) above and excluding any dissenters’ appraisal rights) is composed entirely of consideration other than shares of common stock, the Reference Dividend Amount at and after the effective time of such Merger Event will be equal to zero.

(bb) For purposes of clause (e) of this 0, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) The “Merger Valuation Percentage” for any Merger Event shall be equal to (x) the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of one share of such Merger Common Stock over the relevant Merger Valuation Period (determined as if references to “Class A Common Stock” in the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” were references to the “Merger Common Stock” for such Merger Event), divided by (y) the arithmetic average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of one share of Class A Common Stock over the relevant Merger Valuation Period.

(ii) The “Merger Valuation Period” for any Merger Event means the five consecutive Trading Day period immediately preceding, but excluding, the effective date for such Merger Event.

Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article XI should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued or delivered upon conversion of Notes, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article XI. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental indenture under 0 need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental indenture are correct. Each Conversion Agent (other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) shall have the same protection under this 0 as the Trustee.

 

- 83 -


Rights Distributions Pursuant to Stockholders’ Rights Plans. Upon conversion of any Note or a portion thereof, the Company shall make provisions for the Holder thereof, to the extent such Holder is to receive any shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, upon such conversion, to receive, in addition to, and concurrently with the delivery of, the Conversion Consideration otherwise payable hereunder upon such conversion, the rights described in any stockholder’s rights plan the Company may have in effect at such time, unless such rights have separated from the Class A Common Stock at the time of such conversion, in which case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted upon such separation in accordance with Section 11.2(k). A further adjustment shall occur as described in Section 11.2(k) above if such rights become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness, or assets, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such right.

Increased Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection With Make-Whole Fundamental Changes.

(cc) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary, if the effective date or anticipated effective date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to December 20, 2015, then the Conversion Rate applicable to each Note to be converted shall, if the applicable Conversion Notice therefor is received by the Conversion Agent at any time from, and including, the Trading Day following the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change to, and including, the thirty-fifth (35th) Trading Day immediately following the effective date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change (or, if such Make-Whole Fundamental Change constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date), be increased to an amount equal to the Conversion Rate that would, but for this 0, otherwise apply to such Note pursuant to this Article XI, plus an amount equal to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase.

For avoidance of doubt, the Conversion Consideration due upon a conversion of a Note to which this 0 applies shall be determined in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(i), based on the Conversion Rate as adjusted pursuant to this 0 (and any other applicable provisions of this Indenture), and paid in accordance with Section 11.2(b)(iv).

(dd) As used herein, “Make-Whole Applicable Increase” shall mean, with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the number of additional shares of Class A Common Stock to be added to the Conversion Rate per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, set forth in the table below, which corresponds to the date such 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 Class A Common Stock in such Make-Whole Fundamental Change. If the holders of the Class A Common Stock receive only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (c) of the definition of Change of Control, 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 Class A Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the

 

- 84 -


Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date of the event occurs, during such five consecutive Trading Day period.

(ee) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iii), the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with 0; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Make-Whole Applicable Increase), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes 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.

(ff) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise 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 Make-Whole Applicable Increase set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Conversion Rate as set forth in 0.

(gg) The following table sets forth the Make-Whole Applicable Increase to be received per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this 0 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

 

    Stock Price  

Effective Date

  $15.81     $17.50     $20.00     $22.50     $25.00     $27.50     $30.00     $32.50     $35.00     $37.50     $40.00     $42.50     $45.00     $70.00

(hh) The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) If the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the Make-Whole Applicable Increase will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the Make-Whole Applicable Increase set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

 

- 85 -


(ii) If the Stock Price is in excess of $70.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the Make-Whole Applicable Increase will be zero and the Conversion Rate will not be increased pursuant to this 0.

(iii) If the Stock Price is less than $15.81 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), the Make-Whole Applicable Increase will be zero and the Conversion Rate will not be increased pursuant to this 0.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock upon conversion exceed 63.2511 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate.

(jj) At least thirty (30) calendar days before the anticipated effective date of each proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to each Holder written notice of the anticipated effective date of such proposed Make-Whole Fundamental Change. Each such notice shall also state that, in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, if consummated, the Company shall increase, in accordance herewith, the Conversion Rate applicable to Notes entitled as provided herein to such increase (along with a description of how such increase shall be calculated and the time periods during which Notes must be surrendered in order to be entitled to such increase). No later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the Effective Date of each Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall mail to Holders written notice of such Effective Date and the Make-Whole Applicable Increase applicable to such Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(kk) For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this 0 shall not affect or diminish the Company’s obligations, if any, pursuant to Article III with respect to a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(ll) Nothing in this 0 shall prevent an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to 0 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

(mm) Upon effectiveness of certain Make-Whole Fundamental Changes, the Notes will be convertible into Reference Property (or cash or a combination of cash and Reference Property, if the Company so elects) pursuant to 0. If the Company is required to increase the Conversion Rate by the Make-Whole Applicable Increase as a result of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, Notes surrendered for conversion shall be settled as follows:

(i) If the date (the “Delivery Date”) on which the Company is otherwise required to deliver the Conversion Consideration upon conversion is prior to the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall settle such conversion by paying or delivering cash, the number of

 

- 86 -


shares of Class A Common Stock or combination thereof, as applicable, based on the Conversion Rate, in each case without regard to the Make-Whole Applicable Increase to be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this 0, on such Delivery Date. In addition, as soon as practicable following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall pay or deliver the increase in such amount of cash, Class A Common Stock or combination thereof or of Reference Property deliverable in lieu of shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, as if the Conversion Rate had been increased by the Make-Whole Applicable Increase on the relevant Conversion Date (or, if applicable, during the related conversion reference period and based upon the related conversion value). If the Company has elected Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement and such increased amount results in an increase to the amount of cash to be paid to Holders, the Company shall pay such increase in cash, and if such increased amount results in an increase to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, the Company shall deliver such increase by delivering Class A Common Stock or Reference Property, as applicable, based on such increased number of shares of Class A Common Stock; or

(ii) If the Delivery Date related to Notes surrendered for conversion is on or following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall settle such conversion based on the Conversion Rate as increased by the Make-Whole Applicable Increase to be added to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this 0 on such Delivery Date.

Exchange In Lieu of Conversion.

(nn) Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or the Notes to the contrary, if a Holder surrenders any Note for conversion, the Company may, but is not obligated to, direct the Conversion Agent to surrender, on or prior to the second (2nd) Trading Day following the Conversion Date of such conversion, such Note to a financial institution designated by the Company (which may not be an Affiliate of the Company; provided that, for purposes of this 0, an “Affiliate” shall include any Person with direct or indirect ownership of ten percent (10%) or more of the equity of the Company or the power to directly or indirectly vote more than ten percent (10%) of the securities having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of the Company) (a “Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, such Financial Institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such Notes, the Conversion Consideration due upon such conversion as prescribed by Section 11.2(b)(i) (the “Exchange Consideration”). By the close of business on the second (2nd) Trading Day immediately following such Conversion Date, the Company shall notify such Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent that the Company has directed such Financial Institution to make an exchange in lieu of such conversion.

(oo) In order to accept such Note surrendered for conversion, the Financial Institution must agree to deliver, in exchange for such Note, the Exchange Consideration.

 

- 87 -


(pp) If such Financial Institution so accepts any such Note to be converted, then it shall deliver the Exchange Consideration in accordance with the Company’s instructions, and the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Exchange Consideration to the applicable Holder, in each case within the time frames prescribed by Section 11.2(b)(iv). Each Note so exchanged by such Financial Institution shall remain outstanding.

(qq) If such Financial Institution agrees to accept such Note for exchange but does not timely deliver the Exchange Consideration, or if such Financial Institution does not accept such Note for exchange, then the Company shall deliver, as promptly as practicable thereafter, the applicable Conversion Consideration as if the Company had not made an exchange election.

(rr) The Company shall not provide to the Financial Institution, directly or indirectly, any of such Exchange Consideration to be delivered by the Financial Institution in exchange for such Note.

(ss) In no event shall the Company’s designation of a Financial Institution pursuant to this 0 require such Financial Institution to accept any Notes for exchange. The Company shall not pay any consideration to, or otherwise enter into any agreement or arrangement with, a Financial Institution for or with respect to such designation pursuant to this 0.

Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions.

(tt) In case of any:

(i) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Conversion Rate pursuant to 0 or 0; or

(ii) Merger Event; or

(iii) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

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 Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be mailed to each Holder at its address appearing on the Note Register, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 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 Class A 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 Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Class A Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Class A Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, 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, Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Calculation of Adjustments. All calculations and other determinations under this Article XI shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.

Conversion Responsibilities of Trustee and Conversion Agent. The Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment to the Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein or in any supplemental indenture in making the same, or whether a supplemental indenture need be entered into, or to perform any calculations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any Class A Common Stock, or of any other securities or property or cash, that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and it or they do not make any representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee, subject to the provisions of 0, nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make or calculate any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Class A Common Stock or share certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion; and the Trustee and any Conversion Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article XI.

ARTICLE XII.

CONTINGENT INTEREST AND TAX TREATMENT

Contingent Interest.

(a) Beginning with the period commencing on December 20, 2015 and ending on June 14, 2016, and for each subsequent six-month period from, and including, June 15 to, and including, the following December 14 and from, and including, December 15 to, and including, the following June 14 (each, a “Contingent Interest Period”), the Company will pay additional interest (“Contingent Interest”) to Holders for the applicable interest period, if the Contingent Interest Trading Price of the Notes for the five-consecutive-Trading-Day period ending on the second Trading Day immediately preceding the first day of the applicable Contingent Interest Period (each, a “Contingent Interest Measurement Period”) equals or exceeds 120% of the principal amount of the Notes.

Comparable Yield And Projected Payment Schedule.

(i) for U.S. federal income tax purposes, accrue interest with respect to outstanding Notes as original issue discount according to the “noncontingent bond method,” as set forth in Treasury Regulation section 1.1275-4(b), using a comparable yield of 8.20%, compounded semiannually, and the projected payment schedule as determined by the Company; and

(ii) file with the Trustee promptly following the end of each calendar year (A) a written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes accrued on outstanding Notes as of the end of such year and (B) such other specific information relating to such original issue discount that the Company determines to be relevant under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, including the amount of any adjustment made under the noncontingent bond method to account for the amount of any difference between the amount of an actual payment and the amount of a projected payment.
