ARTICLE 4

AMENDMENTS TO SECTION 15 OF THE INDENTURE AND ADDITION OF EXHIBIT

 

SECTION 4.01 Amendment of Section 15.01(b)(ii). Section 15.01(b)(ii) is hereby amended to replace such provision in its entirety with the following:

 

  “(ii)

a Change of Control occurs pursuant to which the Common Stock is to be converted into cash, securities or other property, then the Debentures may be surrendered for conversion at any time from and after the date which is fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction until fifteen (15) days after the actual effective date of such transaction (or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Charge pursuant to which holders have a right to require the Company to repurchase the Debentures pursuant to Section 3.05, until the Business Day immediately

 

4


 

preceding the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date). The Company shall notify the holders and the Trustee at the time the Company publicly announces the Change of Control transaction giving rise to the above conversion right (but in no event less than twenty (20) days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction). If the Company engages in any reclassification of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding Common Stock, or a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value) or is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets pursuant to which holders of Common Stock would be entitled to receive cash, securities or other property, then at the effective time of such transaction, to the extent that it constitutes a Change of Control as described in this paragraph above as giving rise to a conversion right, the Conversion Obligation and the amounts in Section 15.02(g) shall be based on the applicable Conversion Rate and the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property that a holder of one share of the Common Stock would have received in such transaction (such property, collectively, the “Exchange Property”). In addition, if a holder converts Securities following the effective time of any such transaction, any amounts under Section 15.02(g) to be settled in shares of Common Stock shall be paid in such Exchange Property rather than shares of Common Stock. A holder can require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of its Debentures pursuant to Section 3.05 or, subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15.01(d), if such holder elects, instead, to convert all or a portion of its Debentures, such holder shall receive Additional Shares upon conversion.”

 

SECTION 4.02 Amendment of Section 15.01. Section 15.01 of the Indenture is hereby amended by inserting the following sections:

 

“(d) If and only to the extent a holder timely elects to convert Debentures in connection with (a) a Change of Control specified in Section 15.01(b)(ii) that occurs prior to November 1, 2010, and 10% or more of the consideration for the Common Stock in such Change of Control transaction consists of consideration other than common stock traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following such transaction on a U.S. national securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, then the Conversion Rate shall be increased by an additional number of shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) as described below; provided, that, if the Stock Price paid in connection with such transaction is greater than $60.00 or less than $13.35 (subject in each case to adjustment as described below), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Conversion Rate. Notwithstanding this Section 15.01(d), if the Company elects to adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.01(e), the provisions of Section 15.01(e) shall apply in lieu of the provisions of this Section 15.01(d). The Company shall notify holders, at least twenty (20) days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction causing any increase of the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section 15.01(d), whether the Company elects to increase the Conversion Rate as described above or to adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 15.01(e).

 

5


The number of Additional Shares to be added to the Conversion Rate as described in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be determined by reference to the table attached as Exhibit B hereto, based on the effective date of such Change of Control transaction specified in Section 15.01(b)(ii) and the Stock Price paid in connection with such transaction; provided, that, if the Stock Price is between two Stock Price amounts in the table or such effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 360-day year. The “effective date” with respect to a Change of Control transaction specified in Section 15.01(b)(ii) means the date that such transaction or event becomes effective.

 

With respect to any Debentures tendered for conversion to which Additional Shares apply, any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon conversion of such Debentures pursuant to Section 15.02 shall be delivered to holders who elect to convert their Securities on the third Business Day following the date the settlement amount is determined.

 

The Stock Prices set forth in the first row of the table in Exhibit B hereto shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate of the Debentures is adjusted pursuant to Section 15.05. 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 the adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 15.05.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities exceed 74.9063 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 15.05.

 

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.01(d), in the case of a Change of Control that would lead to the issuance of Additional Shares as set forth in clause (d) above that is also a Public Acquirer Change of Control, the Company may, in lieu of increasing the Conversion Rate by Additional Shares as described in Section 15.01(d), elect to adjust the Conversion Rate and the related Conversion Obligation such that from and after the effective date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, holders of Debentures shall be entitled to convert their Debentures (subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to conversion set forth in Section 15.01(a)) into Public Acquirer Common Stock. The Conversion Rate following the effective date of such transaction will be a number of shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock equal to the product of the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before the Public Acquirer Change of Control times the average of the quotients obtained, for each Trading Day in the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the effective date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control (the “Valuation Period”), of:

 

  (i) the Acquisition Value of our Common Stock on each such Trading Day in the Valuation Period, divided by

 

6


  (ii) the Last Reported Sale Price of the Public Acquirer Common Stock on each such Trading Day in the Valuation Period.

 

The “Acquisition Value” of the Common Stock means, for each Trading Day in the Valuation Period, the value of the consideration paid per share of Common Stock in connection with such Public Acquirer Change of Control, as follows:

 

  (i) for any cash, 100% of the face amount of such cash;

 

  (ii) for any Public Acquirer Common Stock, 100% of the Last Reported Sale Price of such Public Acquirer Common Stock on such trading day; and

 

  (iii) for any other securities, assets or property, the fair market value of such security, asset or property on such Trading Day, as determined by the Board of Directors.

 

Public Acquirer Change of Control” means an event constituting a corporate transaction that would otherwise obligate the Company to increase the Conversion Rate as described in Section 15.01(d) and the acquirer, the Person formed by or surviving the merger or consolidation or any entity that is a direct or indirect “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 50% of such Person’s or Acquirer’s Voting Stock, has a class of common stock traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on a U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such corporate transaction (the “Public Acquirer Common Stock”); provided, that, if, there is more than one of such entity, the relevant entity shall be such entity with the most direct beneficial ownership to such acquirer’s or Person’s capital stock.

 

In addition, the Public Acquirer Change of Control shall be deemed to be an event meeting the condition of Section 15.01(a)(iii) and, for such event, the holder can pursuant to Section 15.01(a) convert the Debentures upon the Public Acquirer Change of Control at the adjusted Conversion Rate described above (not the increased Conversion Rate described in Section 15.01(d)) during the period specified in Section 15.01(b)(ii). In addition, the holders can also, subject to certain conditions, require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Debentures as described in Section 3.05.

 

SECTION 4.03 Amendment of Section 15.02(h). Section 15.02(h) is hereby amended to add subsection (v):

 

“(v) If a holder tenders Debentures for conversion and the Conversion Obligation is being determined at a time when the Debentures are convertible into Exchange Property, the Conversion Obligation of each Debenture shall be determined

 

7


based on the kind and amount of such Exchange Property and the value thereof during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period. Settlement of Debentures tendered for conversion after the effective date of any transaction giving rise to Exchange Property shall be as set forth above.

 

For the purposes of this Section, the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock shall be deemed to equal the sum of (A) 100% of the value of any Exchange Property consisting of cash received per share of Common Stock, (B) the Last Reported Sale Price of any Exchange Property received per share of Common Stock consisting of securities that are traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or approved for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market and (C) the Fair Market Value of any other Exchange Property received per share, as determined by two independent nationally recognized investment banks selected by the Company for this purpose. Settlement (in cash and/or shares) will occur on the third Business Day following the date the settlement amount is determined.”

 

SECTION 4.04 Addition of Exhibit. The Indenture is hereby amended to add Annex I attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Indenture.
