(a)           any reclassification or change of shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination, or any other change for which an adjustment is provided in Section 12.5(b));

(c)           any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of Liberty Global,

 

in each case, pursuant to which the Series A Common Stock is converted to cash, securities or other property; then (1) from and after the effective time of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale, the right to convert the Securities into Series A Common Stock shall be changed into the right to convert the Securities into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property that the Holders would have received if they had converted their Securities immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale and (2) the Company and Liberty Global or the successor or purchasing Entity, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that such Securities shall be convertible into the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale by holders of a number of shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of their Securities

 

9



 

immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale, assuming such holder of Series A Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale (provided, that if the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale is not the same for each share of Series A Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“nonelecting share”), then for the purposes of this Section 12.12, the kind and amount of cash, securities or other property receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale for each non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of non-electing shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article.  If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale, the cash, securities or other property receivable thereupon by a holder of Series A Common Stock includes cash, securities or other property of an Entity other than the successor or purchasing Entity, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Entity and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing.

 

In the event a supplemental indenture shall be executed pursuant to this Section 12.12, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (1) an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or other property receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange or sale, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with and (2) an Opinion of Counsel that all conditions precedent in respect thereto have been complied with.  The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, in the manner provided in Section 1.5, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section 12.12 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications,

 

10



 

changes, consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges and sales. If this Section 12.12 applies to any event or occurrence, Section 12.5 shall not apply.

 

(21)         The first sentence of the first paragraph of Section 12.13 of the First Amended Indenture is amended and restated to read in full as follows:

 

The Trustee or any other Conversion Agent shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of that fact or the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate including the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent pursuant to Section 12.12.

Subject to compliance with any restrictions on transfer, if shares of Series A Common Stock are issued in respect of the payment of the Change of Control Purchase Price and are to be issued in a name other than that of the Holder (as if such transfer were a transfer of the Securities (or portion thereof) so purchased), Liberty Global shall issue and the Company shall deliver to such Holder at the office of the Paying Agent or the office or agency referred to in Section 10.2, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Series A Common Stock issuable upon the purchase of such Securities or portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Article (unless the Holder holds Securities in book-entry form with the Clearing Systems, then the shares of Series A Common Stock shall be delivered in accordance with the customary practices of the Clearing Systems) and the Company shall deliver a check or cash in respect of any fractional interest in respect of a share of Series A Common Stock arising upon such purchase, as provided in Section 13.6.
