CONVERSION
Section 3.01 Right to Convert.
(a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of its Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding, the Conversion Date (if a portion, such that the principal amount of such Notes to be converted, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date, equals $1,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00) at the Conversion Rate into the Settlement Amount determined in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(ii) at any time until the Close of Business on the second Business Day immediately preceding the stated Maturity Date;provided that the portion of the principal amount of a Holder’s Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date, to be converted must be such that the principal amount of the Notes not converted equals $1,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000.00.
(b) (i) If the Company elects to issue or distribute, as the case may be, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock (x) any rights, options or warrants entitling them to subscribe for or purchase, for a period expiring within 45 calendar days after the declaration date for such issuance, shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such issuance; or (y) cash, debt securities (or other evidence of indebtedness) or other assets or securities (excluding dividends or distributions in respect of which an adjustment to the Conversion Rate is made pursuant to Section 3.04(a)), which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution, then, in either case, the Company must deliver notice of such distribution, and of the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, to the Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
(ii) If a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change occurs, to the extent practicable, the Company shall give notice to Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) of the anticipated effective date for such transaction or event not more than 50 Scheduled Trading Days nor less than 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date or, if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction or event at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date, within two Business Days of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware of such transaction or event (but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction or event). Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation (x) to determine whether the condition described in this Section 3.01(b)(ii) has occurred or (y) to verify the Company’s determination regarding such condition.
(iii) If the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange or a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s property and assets that does not also constitute a Fundamental Change, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, the Company shall notify Holders (with a copy to the Trustee and Conversion Agent) at least 30 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation (x) to determine whether the condition described in this Section 3.01(b)(iii) has occurred or (y) to verify the Company’s determination regarding such condition. For the avoidance of doubt, any references to Common Stock described in this Section 3.01, including those in Section 3.01(c), shall give effect to, among other things, the provisions of Section 3.07.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:
(i) The Company shall not effect any conversion of a Note to Common Stock to the extent that, after giving effect to such conversion, ownership of shares of Common Stock owned by the Holder, or such Holder together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (any such person other than Holder, including any group of which Holder is a member, an “Additional Restricted Ownership Person”), would beneficially own in excess of the Restricted Ownership Percentage (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and any Additional Restricted Ownership Person shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon or any Additional Restricted Ownership Person and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by such Holder or any Additional Restricted Ownership Person. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 3.01(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(ii) To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 3.01(c)(i) applies, the determination of whether the Notes are convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Additional Restricted Ownership Person) and of how much principal amount of Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date) are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the applicable Notes may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Additional Restricted Ownership Person) and how much principal amount of Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date) are convertible, in each case, subject to the Restricted Ownership Percentage. To ensure compliance with this restriction and except as provided in the immediately following sentence, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Company each time it delivers a Conversion Notice that, to its knowledge, such Conversion Notice has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.01(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by such Holder or its Additional Restricted Ownership Persons since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(c), a Holder may submit a Conversion Notice with respect to a principal amount of Notes that, if settled solely in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(a), would result in such Holder, together with any Additional Restricted Ownership Person, beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in excess of the Restricted Ownership Percentage; provided that (A) such Conversion Notice prominently discloses on its face the principal amount of Notes (and the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock) that the Holder has determined cannot be settled in shares of Common Stock without exceeding the Restricted Ownership Percentage (the “Excess Conversion Amount”), (B) such Conversion Notice constitutes an irrevocable offer by the Holder to convert the Excess Conversion Amount on the condition, and only on the condition, that the Company elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to settle the Excess Conversion Amount solely in cash pursuant to Section 3.03(c), and (C) the Company shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion and for any reason or no reason, to reject the Conversion Notice with respect to the Excess Conversion Amount by written notice to such Holder, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent delivered within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Conversion Notice, in which case (1) the Conversion Notice shall be deemed automatically withdrawn solely with respect to the Excess Conversion Amount (and shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the balance, if any, of the principal amount of Notes specified therein that is convertible without exceeding the Restricted Ownership Percentage assuming physical settlement) and (2) no Conversion Date shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excess Conversion Amount. Any Conversion Notice submitted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed to violate the restrictions set forth in this Section 3.01(c), and the deemed representation set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3.01(c)(ii) shall not apply with respect to the Excess Conversion Amount. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 3.01(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Company or the transfer agent for the Company’s Common Stock setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including the Notes, by such Holder or its Additional Restricted Ownership Persons since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.
-30-
(iii) The “Restricted Ownership Percentage” for each Holder shall initially be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes held by the applicable Holder. A Holder may (i) increase the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to its Notes upon not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, or (ii) decrease the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to its Notes effective immediately upon written notice to the Company;provided,however, that (x) no Holder shall be entitled to effect any increase in the Restricted Ownership Percentage applicable to its Notes if such Holder or any Additional Restricted Ownership Person has acquired beneficial ownership of Notes or any other securities of the Company subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company and (y) (A) in the event the Restricted Ownership Percentage in effect is 4.99%, the Restricted Ownership Percentage shall in no event exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes held by the applicable Holder; and (B) in the event the Restricted Ownership Percentage in effect is 9.99%, the Restricted Ownership Percentage shall in no event exceed 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes held by the applicable Holder. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company and any such increase or decrease shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall have any obligation to monitor the ownership percentage (as to a particular Person or as to all Persons).
Section 3.02 Conversion Procedures.
(a) Each Physical Note shall be convertible at the office of the Conversion Agent and, if applicable, Global Notes shall be convertible in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
(b) To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Holder must comply with the Applicable Procedures for converting a beneficial interest on a Global Note and pay any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 3.02(f), and the Conversion Agent must be informed of the conversion in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.
To exercise the conversion privilege with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of such Physical Notes shall:
(i) duly sign and complete a conversion notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (the “Conversion Notice”) or a facsimile of the Conversion Notice;
(ii) deliver the Conversion Notice, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Conversion Agent;
(iii) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents; and
(iv) if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 4.02(f).
(v) Subject to Section 2.12, if the Conversion Notice is being delivered on a date after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, the Conversion Notice must be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of the Note to be converted.
If, upon conversion of a Note, any shares of Common Stock are to be issued to a Person other than the Holder of such Note, the related Conversion Notice shall include such other Person’s name and address.
If a Note has been submitted for repurchase pursuant to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, such Note may not be converted except to the extent such Note has been withdrawn by the Holder and is no longer submitted for repurchase pursuant to a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or unless such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 11.02.
-31-
For any Note, the date on which the Holder of such Note satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Note shall be the “Conversion Date” with respect to such Note.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for conversion immediately prior to the Close of Business on the applicable Conversion Date;provided,however, that except to the extent required by Section 3.04, the person in whose name any shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on the Conversion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the satisfaction by the Company of each of its obligations in connection with such conversion and any other conditions set forth in this Indenture, at the Close of Business on the Conversion Date for such conversion, the applicable Holder shall no longer be the Holder of the Notes so converted.
(c)Endorsement. Any Notes surrendered for conversion shall, unless shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.
(d)Physical Notes. If any Physical Notes in a denomination greater than $1,000.00 shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Physical Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Physical Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Physical Notes.
(e)Global Notes. Upon the conversion of a beneficial interest in Global Notes, the Conversion Agent shall make a notation in its records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversions of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.
(f)Taxes Due upon Conversion. If a Note is converted, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that any shares be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.
Section 3.03Settlement Upon Conversion.
(a)Settlement. Subject to this Section 3.03 and Sections 3.01(c), 3.06 and 3.07, upon conversion of any Note, the Company shall deliver to Holders, in full satisfaction of its conversion obligation under Section 3.01, in respect of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes to, but excluding the Conversion Date being converted, a Settlement Amount consisting solely of shares of Common Stock (together with cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(b)).
(i)Settlement Amount. The shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows: the Company shall deliver to the Holder of the Notes so converting, in respect of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of its Notes, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate, together with cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.03(b).
(ii)Delivery Obligation. The Settlement Amounts upon conversion of the Notes will be delivered by the Company through the Company’s stock transfer agent, in the case of Common Stock or the Conversion Agent, in the case of cash. The Company shall pay or deliver the Settlement Amount due in respect of its conversion obligation under this Section 3.03, on the second Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date;provided,however, that if prior to the Conversion Date for any converted Notes, the Common Stock has been replaced by Reference Property consisting solely of cash, the Company will pay the conversion consideration due in respect of such conversion on the third Trading Day immediately following the related Conversion Date.
(b)Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock as part of the Settlement Amount due with respect to any converted Note. Instead, if any Settlement Amount includes a fraction of a share of the Common Stock, the Company will, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, pay an amount of cash equal to the product of such fraction of a share and the Daily VWAP on the relevant Conversion Date, or if such Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day.
-32-
(c)Settlement in Cash Upon Certain Events. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.03, in the event that physical settlement of the Settlement Amount in shares of Common Stock is not practicable due to (i) a Market Disruption Event or VWAP Market Disruption Event that is continuing for more than five consecutive Scheduled Trading Days, (ii) any applicable law, regulation, order or directive of any Governmental Authority that prohibits or restricts the issuance or delivery of such shares, or (iii) the unavailability of a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Company’s obligations under Section 3.09(a)), the Company shall, in lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, pay to the converting Holder, on the third Business Day following the applicable Conversion Date, cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Value as of the Conversion Date (or, if the Conversion Date is not a VWAP Trading Day, as of the immediately preceding VWAP Trading Day). The Company’s obligation to pay cash pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reserve shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.09(a) or limit any remedies available to the Holders in respect of any breach of such obligation.
(d)Conversion of Multiple Notes by a Single Holder. If a Holder surrenders more than one Note for conversion on a single Conversion Date, the Company will calculate the amount of cash and the number of shares of Common Stock due with respect to such Notes as if such Holder had surrendered for conversion one Note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of the principal amounts of each of the Notes surrendered for conversion by such Holder on such Conversion Date or, if the Notes surrendered for conversion are beneficial interests in a Global Note, based on such other aggregate number of Notes, or beneficial interests therein, being surrendered by the Holder for conversion on the same date as the Depositary may otherwise request.
(e)Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Note is converted, the Company will not adjust the Conversion Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, and the Company’s delivery of shares of Common Stock into which a Note is convertible must be in an amount of shares of Common Stock (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock) necessary to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Note to, but excluding, the Conversion Date. As a result, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to a converted Note paid with shares of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock) as required by this Article 3, will be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited to the extent shares of Common Stock are delivered in the amount of such accrued and unpaid interest (plus cash for fractional shares of Common Stock). The Company’s delivery of the Settlement Amount due in respect of such conversion will be deemed to fully satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding the Conversion Date.
(f)Notices. Whenever a Conversion Date occurs with respect to a Note, the Conversion Agent will, as promptly as possible, and in no event later than the Business Day immediately following such Conversion Date, deliver to the Company and the Trustee, if it is not then the Conversion Agent, written notice that a Conversion Date has occurred, which notice will state such Conversion Date, the principal amount of Notes, accrued and unpaid interest converted on such Conversion Date and the names of the Holders that converted Notes on such Conversion Date.
Section 3.04Adjustment of Conversion Rate.
The Conversion Rate will be adjusted as described in this Section 3.04, except that no adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be made for a given transaction if Holders of the Notes will participate in that transaction, without conversion of the Notes, on the same terms and at the same time as a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the principal amount of a Holder’s Notes divided by $1,000 and multiplied by the Conversion Rate would participate.
-33-
(a) If the Company issues solely shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company subdivides or combines the Common Stock, the Conversion Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:
| where, | |
| CR = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable; |
| CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable; |
| OS = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable; and |
| OS0 = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be. |
Any adjustment made under this clause (a) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution (regardless of whether the dividend or distribution date is scheduled to occur after the Maturity Date), or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination of Common Stock, as the case may be. If such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination described in this clause (a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof determines not to pay such dividend or distribution or to effect such subdivision or combination, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or subdivision or combination had not been announced.
(b) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days from the announcement date for such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution, the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| where, | |
| CR = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| OS0 = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| X = | the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and |
| Y = | the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the announcement date for such distribution. |
-34-
Any increase made under this clause (b) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution, regardless of whether the distribution date is scheduled to occur after the Maturity Date. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants expire prior to the Maturity Date and shares of Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the 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 Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants were scheduled to be distributed prior to the Maturity Date and are not so distributed, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.01(b)(i), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price that is less than the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock for each Trading Day in the applicable 10 consecutive Trading-Day period, there shall be taken into account any consideration the Company receives for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise thereof, with the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.
(c) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a distribution (the “Relevant Distribution”) of shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, evidences of the Company’s indebtedness or other assets or property of the Company’s or rights, options or warrants to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock (excluding (i) dividends or distributions and rights, options or warrants as to which an equitable adjustment was effected under clause (a) or (b) above; (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash; and (iii) Spin-Offs, then the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| where, | |
| CR = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; |
| SP0 = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 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 or a duly authorized committee thereof) of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets or property or rights, options or warrants distributed with respect to each outstanding share of Common Stock as of the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. |
Any increase made under the above portion of this clause (c) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if such distribution is scheduled to be paid or made prior to the Maturity Date and is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall be decreased to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. 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 of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount and kind of the Relevant Distribution that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution.
-35-
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) where there has been an Ex-Dividend Date for a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a subsidiary or other business unit, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| where, | |
| CR = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; |
| CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off; |
| FMV = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off (such period, the “Valuation Period”); and |
| MP0 = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period. |
The adjustment to the applicable conversion rate under the preceding paragraph of this clause (c) will be determined on the last day of the Valuation Period but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off. In respect of any conversion during the Valuation Period for any Spin-Off, references within this clause (c) related to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such Spin-Off to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date.
For purposes of the second adjustment formula set forth in this clause (c), (i) the Closing Sale Price of any Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be calculated in a manner analogous to that used to calculate the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock in the definition of “Closing Sale Price” set forth in Section 1.01, (ii) whether a day is a Trading Day (and whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for such Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be determined in a manner analogous to that used to determine whether a day is a Trading Day (or whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for the Common Stock, and (iii) whether a day is a Trading Day to be included in a Valuation Period will be determined based on whether a day is a Trading Day for both the Common Stock and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest.
-36-
Subject to Section 3.04(h), for the purposes of this Section 3.04(c), rights, options or warrants distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to acquire the Company’s Capital Stock or other securities, (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon settlement of conversions of Notes), shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 3.04(c) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 3.04(c) 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 made under this Section 3.04(c). If any such rights, options or warrants, distributed prior to the Issue Date 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 of such deemed distribution (in which case the original rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders). 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 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 3.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which 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 holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Sections 3.04(a) through (c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 3.04(c) applies includes one or both of:
| (A) | a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 3.04(a) also applies (the “Clause A Distribution”); or |
| (B) | an issuance of rights, options or warrants entitling holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock to which Section 3.04(b) also applies (the “Clause B Distribution”), |
then (i) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a distribution to which this Section 3.04(c) applies (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Conversion Rate adjustment required to be made under this Section 3.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall be made, (ii) the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 3.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause B Distribution and the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or the Clause B Distribution shall not be deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 3.04(b), and (iii) the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution or the Clause B Distribution, as the case may be, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution, and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution shall not be deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date” within the meaning of Section 3.04(a).

(d) If an Ex-Dividend Date occurs for a cash dividend or distribution to all, or substantially all, holders of the outstanding Common Stock (other than any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| where, | |
| CR = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; |
| SP0 = | the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and |
| C = | the amount in cash per share that the Company pays or distributes to substantially all holders of the Common Stock. |
Any increase made under this clause (d) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. However, if any dividend or distribution described in this clause (d) is scheduled to be paid or made prior to the Maturity Date but is 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.
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 of a Note shall receive, for each $1,000 of the sum of the principal amount of Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, without having to convert its Notes, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, and if the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of Common Stock exceeds the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), the Conversion Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
| where, | |
| CR = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date; |
| CR0 = | the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date; |
| AC = | the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer; |
| OS0 = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the time (the “Offer Expiration Time”) such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to such tender or exchange offer); |
| OS = | the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Offer Expiration Time (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and |
| SP = | the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading-Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. |
The adjustment to the Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph of this clause (e) will be determined at the Close of Business on the tenth Trading Day immediately following, but excluding, the Offer Expiration Date but will be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. In respect of any conversion during the 10 Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date, references within this clause (e) to 10 Trading Days shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date to, but excluding, the relevant Conversion Date. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula will result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate.
